In the Begining There Was Man.... and a Joysitck

My passion is Video games. Its true. I have spent the better part of 20 years. interacting with them. I still remember the first time my father showed me his Tandy computer (don't ask me the model I was 7) and his collection of games. I spent hours in frustrated wonder learning how to use dos to start these games. One in particular holds my memory quite well. Babies, a small 8 bit game where the object was to save all the babies from a burning building. interesting enough the people in the burning building decide to chuck these helpless little infants out the window hoping you have the sense of mind to catch them with your trampoline and bounce them over to the medical truck. Seeing that you can do this rather well at first the people at the top in their infinite wisdom start throwing increasing numbers of babies out the window for you to juggle over to the medical truck. I was 8 and saw this as a totally reasonable and rational thing to do.

I eventually grew tired of this game and moved to the original Nintendo where i spend hours helping Mario save the princess. well Life moved on and Mario eventually got the girl. I started taking more interest in computer games vs console game. I still remember the magazine I always drooled over. I even remember the first issue I received in the mail. I drooled over all the games I couldn't have. Finally after about 6 years of hacking computer games and playing them. I got my own job and could afford an actual computer game. That very fist game was Wing commander 4. this opened up the flood gates for literally hundreds of purchases over the next 12 years. here i am now in my late 20's wanting to do something more for the gaming community other than play games.

The computer gaming market has made hudge changes and is all but changing the approach of gaming. This blog has been created to follow the computer game market and predict where it will go next.

I also have created a web site for new gamers and game developers coming into the gaming market. Check it out here
