Ever since I was a child, I have made video games a healthy(?) part of my everyday balanced diet ever since I first laid googly-eyes on that 8-bit-plumber, you know, the one with the red cap and blue overalls. Ever since then, my passion has always been about video games, and especially ones that blend classic 8-bit/16-bit style elements or “Retro” elements and expand on them to make them contemporary. I've always had a passion for Nintendo and Sega games and their staple series, but have embraced games from all generations and systems.

There are however, certain games that catch my eye more and if they are not immediately popular enough or mainstream enough, on occasion I have taken up the task of creating some type of website or portal to help unite fans and “would-be” fans and arm them with all the information they could ever want to see in order to logically come to the conclusion that they should be playing said game, right this instant and here’s why!

Some of my past projects were related to the Genso Suikoden series, Panzer Dragoon series, Cave Story (original creator of the Cave Story Tribute Site at www.cavestory.org) , Microcabin’s Xak series and more recenty, Shantae. (www.shantae.net)

My favorite games and series are: Panzer Dragoon, Shantae, Super Mario Bros., Mega Man, Zelda, Ys, Brandish, Gitaroo Man, Xak, Gradius, R-Type, Xanadu and Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls. My favorite games of all time are Genso Suikoden II and Panzer Dragoon Saga. I'm also quite partial to Xenogears.

In my spare time I mess around with Japanese computers such as MSX and PC-8801/PC-9801. Currently working on a Youtube information series about Japanese Computer Hardware and Software.
