Ah, memories...where to begin?
The first adventure game I ever saw was the Amiga version of LSL one night at my friend's house in 1988. I was impressed, but I really wasn't the computer type, so I pretty much ignored computer games until my just before I went off to college in 1993 and a friend gave me an old copy of Zork and King's Quest for my Tandy 1000 - I know I'm dating myself - and I got hooked.

In the year that I was in college (don't ask) my room-mate and I played through the entire LSL series (LSL6 had just come out) before moving onto Eternam, Futurewars, and Alone in the Dark.

I left school and moved on to administration and programming to finance my burgeoning gaming addiction, and moved on to mainlining LucasArts and Sierra games. Now, years later, I am able to admit that I am in fact a gaming addict. That's enough info for you for now...go read something else!

Favorite Games:
Leisure Suit Larry
Monkey Island Series - Yes, even the last one!
Day of the Tentacle
The Dig
Grim Fandango

Hobbies:
- Games, games, and more games!

- Playing w/ my punk band Responsible Johnny and my cowpunk band Dixie666 - coming to rock your town soon!
