I've been an on/off gamer for the better part of two decades or so. My first video game system was an old Atari with the game Tank, when I was around 5 or so. But my real journey into gaming started around age 9 or 10 when I got my NES and Zelda. It seemed everyone around me was a gamer then. During the 16-bit era, circa high school, I was somewhere between non-gamer and casual gamer.

I got back into gaming in a big way back in 1997-98 when I watched a friend play FF7. I had been getting deeper into anime then and the whole idea of 'interactive anime adventure' appealed to me. A new RPG fan was born. Since I only had my Sega Genesis at the time, the RPG series I cut my teeth on was Phantasy Star. Later on, I got a Sony Playstation and even more heavily into RPGs, including a cult title called Persona which sparked my respect for the Megami Tensei series.

I first started posting on RPGFan's boards back in 1999 under the handle dezo penguin, which later changed to dezo, then Blademaster Dezo (which is what I'm most well known as), and now to Dincrest. I first started writing reader reviews for the 'fan in 2000 and now I'm here.
