The Blocky Dad
Below average gamer with above average enthusiasm. Affinity for all things 2nd-gen with a sprinkling of NES, Gameboy, and TurboGrafx. Looking askance at Sega.👀 Apologist for defunct 3rd-party Atari developer Games by Apollo. Late GenX-er just looking to spread some early gaming vibes and education. For more of the latter, check out my substack, The Antediluvian Gamer!
