As a child of the 80s, I do have some history with gaming<\/a> and I make the odd gaming post<\/a>. I love games, whatever the medium – be it digital or traditional board games. I have quite sizeable collections of each type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mainly game on the Xbox Series X<\/strong> and then PC<\/strong> (via Steam). I have the occasional bash on Wii U<\/strong> and the Xbox 360<\/strong> (games not bbackwards compatible). I will have a bash on some retro games (e.g. Sega Mega Drive or Amiga 500 etc.) and I have a fair number of emulators and large libraries for a lot of pre-2004 titles. Retro gaming is my thing though, I enjoy modern gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I maintain a lot of my video games catalogue on rawg.io<\/a>, which has my catalogue for PC, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One \/ Series (I don’t list retro games). I like quite a variety of game genres but staples tend to be FPS and racing; and still to this date, my all-time favourite is Minecraft <\/strong>(feel free to give me a shout<\/a> to visit my Realm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of more traditional games (i.e. those existing before the Web), I enjoy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
