Gaming has been a huge part of my life since my family first got a computer, and even earlier via board games and made up games with friends. To me, games are a wonderful and creative way to go beyond reality where anything and everything is possible and can be made even better with friends!

I first started playing video games back on the PC with things like Pitfall, Star Craft, the Sims, Zoombinis…. the list goes on! However, the first time I played Zelda Ocarina of Time was a truly magical moment for me. The music, the story, the adventure, Epona… it was an entirely new world to me and I loved every moment with it and I have been collecting and playing handheld and console games ever since.

I mostly play Nintendo games, but Play Station and Xbox have some great gems too. My first gaming console was the N64 with my first games being Mario Kart 64, DK 64, and Banjo Kazooie.
