I got my first gaming system, an NES, as a present for finishing the first grade. Ever since then I've been hooked. As a kid, there were always so many exciting games available to play, but not having the money (or time) to play them all, I had to pick and choose.

Going Back

While I still love playing modern games, the ease of playing retro games now—whether via emulation or on actual hardware—makes it easy and fun to go back and revisit those old games I used to love, as well as finally play some of the ones I never had the opportunity to.

Love for All Systems

I never really participated in the console wars and I've always had a love for all the various systems. I remember being excited when new consoles appeared, not only for the new content, but because it inevitably meant the old ones would go on clearance and could be available to me.

The Backlog

I'm still to this day enjoying going back and finding games I never had the time to play. One of these days I'm going to finish all six of the first Final Fantasy games!
