I've been immersed in the world of video games for over four decades—longer than many players today have been alive. My journey began at the age of seven, when I started tinkering with BASIC programming on a Bally system. That curiosity soon led me to test some of the earliest games—some great (like Pac-Man), some regrettable (we try not to talk about E.T.), and some just plain ugly (Atari Pac-Man, I'm looking at you). Still, I wouldn’t trade a second of it. Over the years, I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of consoles—some crashing hard, others fading quietly, with the Dreamcast holding a special place in that story. I've watched software and game studios bloom, collapse, and reinvent themselves in order to stay in the game. It’s been a front-row seat to the ever-evolving heartbeat of the industry—and I’m still here, controller in hand.
