ANSWERS on page X

1 What’s the first game that you remember playing? Hogan’s Alley . 2 What was the last game that you finished? Lost Judgment - I give it 10/10. 3 What’s your favourite video game/series of all time? All time it would be Zelda, GTA, and the Tony Hawk series, but with Tears of the Kingdom I think Zelda might take my number one spot. We’ll see if GTA 6 can change that. 4 What do you think is the most underrated video game of all time? Battle Garegga is a masterpiece. 5 What’s the game that you most wish you’d worked on? Moving Out 64 would be a cool one, but in real life I think it would have been really fun to make levels in the Tony Hawk series.
