Biography
Born in 1966, I was in my prime video game playing years during the so-called "Golden Age" of video arcade games.
My favorites back then included Ripoff, Galaga, Time Pilot, Robotron, Space Duel, and Joust.
In 1983, some games started charging 50 cents per play. I boycotted these games, including Dragon's Lair.
With the notable exception of Rygar, which is the only game I ever beat on one quarter, I pretty much quit playing video games at the arcade after that. Mortal Kombat and similar games were interesting, but I refused to play them due to my 50 cent game boycott.
I have a degree in electrical engineering, but my career has mainly focused on computer programming. My degree did prove useful in designing my LED controller.
I am married and have two kids. My daughter Claire was born in 1991 and my son Philip was born in 1992. Phil enjoys video games a lot and plays every day. Claire will play once in a while.
