The 8-Bit Perspective

I write a Substack newsletter about video games (mostly the retro kind), and my experiences playing them. Welcome!

Anyone who plays video games can point to that one game that influenced their love for a genre or series. Metroid II is where it started for me.

This is the first article in a new series I call “Under the Influence”.

At three years old, I wasn’t just a toddler anymore. I was running with the big boys now.

If you like video games as much as I do, you’ve come to the right place. I’m reasonably sure you’re here on purpose.

I’m new around these parts. Been hearing about Bluesky for several years, but never joined until this week.

I write mostly about retro games and their influence on me. Hopefully I’ll find like-minded folks. Looking forward to it! You can find my articles at open.substack.com/pub/8bitpers...
