My main interests are video games, anime and their related music.
My first experience of gaming was with the NES a long time ago which came with Super Mario Bros and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. However, frustrations with the difficulty and lack of a save function caused me to sell it back. Aside from a Game and Watch version of Donkey Kong, I had no more experience with gaming for a long, long time until I got the N64 in 1997 with Bomberman 64 being my first game and it was at this point that I begun getting more into gaming.
However, I still only considered video games to be a occasional pasttime until I came across the Legacy of Kain games, which showed me that video games could be beautiful, intricate works of art. From this point on, I would look for games with well thought out stories which really made the player think about things. Also since the Legacy of Kain games were underrated "sleeper hits" with a "cult fanbase", I would also seek to look for other such similar games.
A couple of years ago, I played my first RPGs, FFX and FFX-2 after getting them in a 2 for £10 deal. These really intrigued me in the genre and I didn't understand why I never got into the genre earlier. I had a lot of catching up to do. And so my Backlog was created with my heavy purchases (both new and pre-owned) of all the various RPGs that I'd missed out all these years.
