Jason Emery grew up in Maryland with a family of all things, though he was an only child. Early on he wrote (and released) a few games for the HP48 such as the amusing NortQuest series, moving on in time to an actual PC. At least, when they started making PCs such as his first XP. Through pre-internet jaunts to the library he discovered assembly and went on to make a game called Tyrian.

That went well for a few years, though times were stale for a while afterwards. Later, he returned to more aggressively make games at a company called Amaze Entertainment, developing and assisting a long line of Gameboy Advanced and DS titles.
