It’s safe to say anyone who considers themselves a ‘gamer’ has a game that made them a fan. We all have that first game we played, then we all have that first game we loved - sometimes we stumble upon both at the same time. When I was a child, I was given a PlayStation for Christmas. It came with one game, Crash Bandicoot, and no SCART lead. Now Crash is a fantastic game, one of my all-time favorites, but running it in black and white was a chore. My parents were kind enough to add a second game to my collection, Bust-a-Move. Not the most ideal game to play on a black and white screen. Then a wondrous day came. It was a Thursday and my mother greeted me at the school gate with this comically long wire. It was a SCART lead. It was also about seven meters long, but that’s something we can overlook. That wasn’t the only thing she had though. She pulled out a game, a game with the most ‘90s case I’d ever seen, called Syphon Filter.
