Why Am I Doing This?

So the concept is that I own a book called "1001 Video Games you must play before you die!" and I've decided that I'm taking it as a literal challenge. As I play through I've decided to document along the way...and here we are.

From now on I will work my way through the book and update as I go, in chronological order. The only thing I can say for certain is that this isn't going to be quick or easy, some games are out of print, consoles very hard to get hold of or emulation impossible, but we'll see how we go.

Also the book only uses games up to the year 2010 so anything released after this time will not be in the official 1001 that i'm following...think of it as a bonus, a gift from me to you.

If you fancy contributing or helping me out with links to or borrowing games then let me know

If you just want to maybe play along then do so and let me know in the comments.
