the 16-bitter is AWESOME!
Well, not really.
It's blogger. Nothing more to say.
Hi, I'm the humble writer, the omnipotent voice, the teleprompter. This is a sweet blog on gaming. That's it.
Just so you know where I am, struggle to read this short gaming history of mine, it'll only take a minute or so.
I started gaming with, oddly enough, my grandma. She had a PC, and my favorite game was Commander Keen. I beat the game when I was about ten. After that, I became a strict PC gamer, because my parents were wholly against 'wasting time on things that aren't productive' (who hasn't heard that before) , and they saw the PC as a different kind of machine, somehow. Fast forward to High School, my first console purchase; a Nintendo NES. For 30 dollars, I had, arguably, the game console that reinvigorated the market in 1985. I was pumped. Until Freshman year in college, when I was asked to write about an aspect of Asian Culture and present my ideas to the program. Well, I reported on Sega. From then on, I made it my focus in gaming to own every peice of Sega console hardware there was to own, and I managed it all quite smoothly over a 4 month period, thanks to some wonderful folks at eBay.
So, you made it through that wall-o'-boring-text. Good. So, I'm a retrogamer, completely in awe at where this industry is heading, how so many of the greats of the past have been lost due to general shift in the market, and how little the gamers of today care for those we have lost in the frey.
Assuming you'll come back, I'll be commenting here and there about this and that in gaming, and hopefully throwing some nuggets of insight your way.
Thanks for reading the 16-bitter.
