I really like arcade games and like the '80s and early '90s kind of games, just because there's a real kind of naivete to them, but there's like a real inventiveness to it as well.
As for my favorite games growing up, if I were to mention a game other than 'Gradius', it would have to be 'Xevious'.
I think, pretty much like everyone around my age, I grew up playing those classic video games. I wouldn't say I was addicted to them, but I definitely liked them.
I have a very distinct memory of 'ExciteBike' and making my own courses. I had an obsession with that game.
My favorite video game of all time is called 'Black Tiger'. It's a Capcom Dungeons and Dragons game from 1987. I have the actual arcade version sitting in my office.
Like anybody who grew up in the Eighties, I cringe at the thought of these movies being remade, because of the corniness and cheesiness of the originals.
I've never really collected anything other than old Atari cartridges. I only had, like, 12 Atari games as a kid, so at some point in my 20s I decided I was going to own all of them.
If you wanna see me in full '80s glory, I did one season of 'Halt and Catch Fire.'
I'm a card-carrying nerd, a gamer, and sci-fi geek.
I'm into classic games like Donkey Kong, and also collect vintage tour t-shirts - everything from Olivia Newton-John to Duran Duran. I've got a Chicago one worth $100.
I remember playing 'Mortal Kombat' when I was a kid and the other 'Tekken'-style games.
