He has been an avid videogamer from the age of 7 when he started out on the slippery slope of visiting arcades and playing Gunfight, Night Driver, Asteroids, Pong, Space Invaders, Battlezone and Defender with his father in seaside resorts whilst on summer holidays. One Christmas morning in the early 80’s he got what he had pestered his parents for – a home computer. It was only a humble Sinclair ZX81 with a wobbly 16K RamPack and a few games (Frogger and Sorcerer’s Island) but it was the start of something that hasn’t ended to this day…

Many 10 pence pieces, countless consoles, computers and years later here we are and he now runs an online Retro Games Store and has an extensive Sinclair computer collection years in the making. You will now find him doing battle on Xbox Live, trash talking with the best of them but still finding time to dust off his Atari VCS and cartridges for a spot of good old retro gaming. Oh, and his father now plays Nintendo DS!
