I’ve been gaming for about four decades. The first system my dad gave me was an Atari, and I played almost every Atari game ever made. Quite a bit, too. I’m not talking about trying one or two games. I spent extensive time playing them. On top of that, I used to go to arcades and play a lot of the old arcade games. I got a lot of experience there as well, so my gaming wasn’t limited to the systems I had at home. Over the years, I’ve played pretty much all the systems. I got the Nintendo and Sega Genesis when they came out, and I’ve spent extensive time with the Super Nintendo, Sega Master System, Sega CD, Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast. That continued through every generation of PlayStation and Xbox: PlayStation 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, along with the original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One and the newer Xbox generation. I’ve put a lot of time into all of those. So when I talk about older games and systems, that comes from decades of actually playing them. Here’s a little bit of history about each system before I get into more of the individual games and experiences.
