==Background==
:'''IGN''': What kind of gaming background do you bring to this job? When and how did you become interested in games?
:'''Kevin''': I started being a gamer when I first had access to Pong and Pitfall II on my aunt and uncle's Atari. I played Coleco Vision, Intellivision, and arcade games on a regular basis. My obsession with computer games began when I picked up Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord for the Apple II computer system. O Glorious Monochrome! This was quickly followed with Ultima III and IV, Conan the Barbarian, Return of Heracles, Moon Patrol, and Karateka. I bought a Nintendo and a copy of Final Fantasy - my favorite game of my Nintendo years. I bought a Genesis and copies of Phantasy Star I, II, and Genghis Khan. With my purchase of an IBM-PC, I picked up Sopwith, Ancient Art of War, Hero's Quest which later became Quest for Glory, and Pirates. I've been playing primarily PC games ever since.
