The first game I remember playing was Blockout on the brand new 80386 PC my father bought somewhere around 1990-1991 (which would make me 5-6 years old). I have a lot of good memories playing great games on that machine, including: Prince of Persia, Stunts, Supaplex, Ski or Die and Double Dragon II.
My interest in games only grew bigger and bigger over the years. With the release of Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II I started modding and made many levels for that game. In 2005 I decided to turn game design into my living and enrolled into Utrecht School of Arts' Game Design and Development curriculum.
Currently I'm doing my Masters (in the field of Game Design).
