About Oliver Roberts
Published author and lifelong gamer. Has written articles for online current affairs platforms as well as entertainment and media platforms. Has a particular soft spot for 16-bit video games and something of an Achilles heel for handheld gaming. A boomer shooter enthusiast and has held a long affinity with the Legend of Zelda franchise. Oliver likes to spend his time with friends, when not writing, reading, gaming or enjoying walks in nature. Though this division of time and priorities does not always go to plan...
Industry Focus
Remakes, Remasters, Retro, Nintendo, Sega and bit of FromSoftware for a sprinkle of masochism.
Favorite Console
Big soft spot for the Sega Genesis - first console I ever played and ever saw. Made a big impression on me, was instantly taken by the colorful pixel art and engrossing gameplay of Streets of Rage 2 and Sonic 2. I've been a big fan ever since.
Honorable mentions: Game Boy/Color/Advance & Nintendo Gamecube
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Probably playing through the original Ninja Gaiden on NES. Although completing the original Castlevania was also rather good fun.
(NB: I didn't do this without save states... I like to go outside every now and then)
