Back in the mysts of time I learned that computers were more than just typing in "20 goto 10", when my two big brothers clubbed together to buy an Atari 2600. At this point the gamer in me was born. How many hours can you jump on croc heads and swing from vines in Pitfall and pursue the endless AT-AT advances in Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back? I dont know, I lost track of time. Though thirty years later, I awoke to find I'd played on console after console, upgraded and trashed many PCs - All with one aim - to play the best most advanced games money could buy (or at least borrow off my more fortunate mates). My quest continues to find the ultimate video game. Tweet me: @TheBoredGamer
