Corduroy Sombrero
Staff Bio
CS started playing adventure games when he was six years old. Classic Sierra parsers helped him learn to read and write and now he writes about Adventure Games!
He is still always looking for new and old adventures to play and has made a simple, non-commercial point-and-click as a hobbyist. He is also interested in the psychological benefits of adventure games, and has done psychological research looking at certain types of puzzles to see if they improve IQ.
