Mission Statement From an Old School Gamer

I'm not very good at making long speeches, so I'll be brief. I hail from "Oldschool-Gamingville", a place where people like to get their kicks from indulging in the games of yesteryear that we all knew an loved. When I say "yesteryear", I'm talking about the NES, Sega Genesis (and Sega CD), Super Nintendo, and even the Playstation (to some extent). Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a jaded gamer that can't get with the times here. I'm a proud owner of the PS2, Xbox 360, and Wii systems and they're all swell systems! But there's a certain inner youthful gamer in me that just can't forget about those golden years when I had nothing but time on my hands to save the princess in that "other" castle, or stop Dr. Robotnik's nefarious plan once and for all time (for real this time).

So with that, I've taken great joy in writing reviews on those games from years past. I consider it my civic duty to play a [small] part in keeping the memories of such games alive in the minds of both veteran gamers and the fresh-from-GameStop-with-my-first-system bright-eyed whipper snapper. And don't worry-- I will keep my criticisms fair and the personal opinions to a bare minimum, so as to make reading my reviews actually enjoyable [I hope]. If you want to contact me with any questions about old school games or systems, feel free to either click the "contact" tab at the top of the article or leave your question/comment in the "comments " section.

So keep an eye out for my first review in the days to come. Until then, stay tuned and power up that old game system of your's now and then...if you've still got one :-)

Game on, folks!
