My name is Tim, I'm new to game design and am making slow but gradual progress on three different projects. I'm very interested in making platform games and am excited about everything I'm learning. Let's start at the beginning. When I was four years old I was interested in games because of my uncle and my parents. We got a colecovision when they first came out because my parents thought it was the best machine for the money. It had better graphics and an Atari adapter! You can play Atari on Colecovision! A couple years later we got a NES for Christmas (the system with ROB) and my world was changed forever. It was a great time to be interested in video games in the late 80's early 90's. I believe it to be the best time for games. The GM and MMF communities are helping me get in touch with those memories again, not only being enthused about the systems of old, but presenting new ideas. My favorite GM games are: Soldexus, An Untitled Story, Poyo, Flywrench, Ark 22 and Seisuredome.
