Ross  // F33dback- Editor/Admin

Ross, originally hails from the sunny lands of England;  growing up in Oxford and Leicester with a year and a half in Japans bustling capital city of Toyko, before moving to New Zealand in April of 2000.

His first console wasn’t even a console, it was an Amstrad tape driven computer with worse graphics than that of Space Invaders. His dad was able to use it when Ross pried from the 15inch screen and had to go to bed.

Ross eventually got a Gameboy with Tetris while living in Japan and it was all over from there and has since owned various items such as a Gameboy colour, PS1, PS2, A full cabinet with Twinbee, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Mega Drive, Nintendo 64 and countless PC’s.

Moving to New Zealand he quickly got an Xbox, forgetting about his Mega Drive and Playstation until he discovered emulation, and now he is far more of a retro-head than a hardcore, but he wont say no to a game of Halo.

Chris  // Mono – Staff Writer

Mono is a scary evil baby robot thing. That’s what he’d have you believe anyway. As a big fan of being judged by what is said instead of who says it, Mono doesn’t actively disclose his identity. His earliest video game memory involves playing some kind of crude DOS based bowling game. First took video games seriously when he was just a wee lad whose mummy bought a Sega Megadrive with Sonic the Hedgehog bundled.

Other hobbies include writing about himself in the third person.
