BladeX, my original GameFAQs username back in 1999 or 2000 during my later years of school, was based off some game I made in BASIC on my old clunker home PC. Blade (well, BLADE) was the original program name, and it had a number of revisions to add content, finally ending with X after I went past 9.

That account was purged during the merger with GameSpot since I didn't have internet access after finishing schooling. So when I returned and couldn't use BladeX, I ended up adding Delta to my name.

For those curious, the game was a battle system based on the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, where you would 'roll dice' to get your starting stats then fight a number of randomised enemies, ending with a dragon which would tend towards high stats no matter what. Nothing fancy, and probably put together poorly since I was self taught with only one book of BASIC games for micro PCs (probably one of the Usborne Computers range, but it was years ago), but it was fun to work on.

Edit - It was one of their books, found a PDF here.
