Welcome to my home on the web!
I am the Generation 1 Gamer, and my YouTube channel is the best place to visit to see and hear about gaming goodness throughout the history of home video gaming. I have lived this history myself since the first home consoles appeared in the late 1970s. As an amateur video game historian, I am interested in the hardware and the games that have shaped the industry that we have today.
The purpose of my channel is to share with you some of the highlights and lowlights of the last 40 years of home video gaming in the UK. I will remind you of the consoles and computers that we used, the things we had to do to play our games, like wait 15 minutes for a tape to load. I will look back at the games that we played throughout the 90s and the noughties, as well as some of the games from the PS4/Xbox One generation that are defining the future of home video gaming.
