I started playing games on our first family computer, a 386 MS-DOS PC, when I was around seven years old. To this day, my favourite videogame era is the mid-90s to early 2000s, when magazines came with dozens of playable demos on CD-ROMs, everything was multimedia, and the Internet hadn't yet gobbled up all the other resources and forms of communication.

I've always been a PC gamer first, but am also somewhat partial to Sony consoles, mostly since my best friend from childhood had a PSX and a PS2 and lots of hours were spent on those during my teenage years.

Generally, I prefer games that are single-player and story-driven (adventures, role-playing games, some action games), but I'm also very fond of racing games and various simulations. I don't like strategy games because I'm so bad at them that I get easily frustrated, while sports games and business simulations tend to bore me very quickly. Some of my more niche gaming interests include old German print magazines, low-budget titles, and shovelware CD-ROMs. Some of that may be reflected in the kind of content I contribute here.
