My Sims history

My sister bought The Original Sims about 2 years back, she's a fan of the game. I remember buying that game back when it was first released in 2000. Actually I bought it with my very last Paycheck from a job i was let go from, the game cost about 90% of my final check. I had a computer that we got back in '97. So when I installed it and got it up and running, my computer couldn't handle it...I mean It ran it, it just handled it bad...The next time I played a Sims game was in 2006, it was The Sims 2. This time I had a computer that could handle any game well. I tried it but couldn't get into it. I haven't tried The Sims 3, but plan to in the near future.
So today I played a little bit of The original game, and I had a fun time. Sure its outdated, but the lasting appeal is still there. I'm going to work my way up to part 3, part 2 is dirt cheap now and comes with a shitload of expansions.

My son ended up dying after I put fireworks in his bedroom for him to play with....The grim reaper is there to collect :(
