Hi everyone! My name is Chris Christodoulou (aka AstronautDown).
I’ve recently discovered DGC through Jimmy Maher (The Digital Antiquarian) and the Planetfall episode. I’ve since been devouring past episodes on my favourite games and have been enjoying them immensely! They are excellent for long runs too 🙂
I’ve started my gaming life on a ZX Spectrum in the 80s but soon after got my first PC and have been a PC gamer ever since. Obviously DOS has been a major part of my gaming life. I still have my first PC, an Amstrad 1640DD, although my DOS gaming is mostly on DOSBOX and SCUMMVM nowadays.
I’ve actually made gaming my career — well, partly — as I’ve been working as a game composer for the past 14 years.
My favourite genre is Adventure games, with LucasArts dominating my top ten, but I do enjoy all sorts of different styles and genres. I won’t mention my absolute favourite as it is not a DOS game 😛
Can’t promise I’ll manage to be on the forums too much but I’d love to participate in some of the upcoming months’ games, most likely Sam & Max. Tie Fighter is also one of my absolute favourites and would love to revisit it — but it is a time-demanding title…
I also own a nice collection of game magazines from the 90s so I’ll try to post a review scan if I find one for upcoming titles.
Anyway, that’s me in a nutshell. I’m mostly posting to say, THANK YOU for the Club and the podcast, it’s amazing and I’m so happy to have found it!
Chris
