Hi everybody

Umm. Not sure what to write in here for my first blog. I suppose a little more information about my-self would be a start. I am 31 and have been gaming since I was probably about seven or eight. I remember my old fella buying me a Commodore 64 for my bday, as he wanted me to learn a little about computing because he thought it was the future! The programs were written in commodore basic and to me as a little'un made no sense at all... even now i'm still stumped when I think about it. Anyways programing didn't interest me so i began playing the games that came with it. It had a box set of olympic games and i remember playing track and field till my arms hurt and the joystick broke through furious waggling. I collected lots of games some of which remain classics in my eyes. Rainbow Islands, Clumsy Colin, Kick Start, Monty Mole, Dizzy, Bruce Lee, International Karate, The Last Ninja series and many more. It makes me smile that some of these games are now available through emulators on ios. Unfortunatly they're not as graphicaly amazing as they once were but the gameplay is still there alas a little simple compared to todays efforts. And hey atleast they don't have to be loaded by tape anymore with a loading screen that probably introduced alot of people to being epoleptic.
