Autorenporträt

Chris Scullion first fell in love with video games over 30 years ago with his discovery of the NES at age four. 13 years ago, he turned his passion into a profession as a video games journalist, most notably as the longest-running staff member of Official Nintendo Magazine. Chris has also written for Computer and Video Games, Official Xbox Magazine, Official PlayStation Magazine, Nintendo Life, Retro Gamer, GamesMaster, Polygon, Red Bull, Vice, and The Guardian, and has appeared on the BBC News to discuss goings-on in the world of video games. In 2018 he was nominated for Best Critic by the Games Media Brit List. When Chris was nine years old and reading The Complete Guide To Consoles, he decided he wanted to pursue a dream of one day writing for a Nintendo video game magazine and writing something definitive, like the very guides that drew him to this dream. Chris has been living the first part of his dream for the past 13 years; The NES Encyclopedia is his realization of the second part.
