Experience Overview
The first games I remember playing were the likes of Frogger, Pitfall, and BurgerTime, but I didn't truly fall in love with gaming until I started playing games like Spectre VR and Myst. When Marathon Durandal came out, I thought it was about the coolest thing I'd ever seen, and when Forge and Anvil were released with Marathon Infinity, it was pretty much game over - I'd been given the gift of creation, and I was hooked; my creative aspects are covered elsewhere though - this section is about who I am as a player.
One of the things I had to submit as part of my application to DigiPen's design program was a list of all the games I could think of that I'd ever played. The list ended up being over 200 entries long and included some games that still warm my heart when I think of them, like Bubble Bobble and GoldenEye 007, but for brevity's sake, below are listed only the games that seem most applicable to current times, including any experiences or accomplishments that may be relevant to better-understanding my background as a gamer.

Last, but not least, some honorable mentions. I accomplished nothing noteworthy in these games, nor did a spend a ton of time playing them - they're listed solely due to the impact they had on me - as a gamer, as a designer, or both.
