I was 4 to 5 years old when I made it. My first video game console was Sega Master System and I got it as a present(from my cousin, he's the cause for that bug...) at the age of 3. On SMS, Alex Kidd in Miracle World was a game bundled with it. It wasn't the first video game I played in my life – the first I think was Sneak n' Peak in Atari – but it was the first video game that was mine. I remember playing with it all day. Two years later(I think), a friend gave me his SMS(for some months) but this time bundled with Sonic the Hedgehog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These two games, light up in me the fire to start thinking and imaging my own video games in my mind. So, from this time, my biggest dream started in my mind and that is to be a video game designer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; From that moment on, people get bored to listen to me about video games. It was a time, that when people asked me what I want to be when I will grow up, I was saying to them “ I want to be a video game designer, I want to design video games ”. Kids where laughing to me and telling me that this is so hard and I'm never gonna be one. I didn't listen to them and I was keep dreaming to make my own video games, one day. I was meant I want that as my job, my career. I couldn't do that in my country(Greece, until 2008).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But now I don't want that as my job, I really don't want that, is a lot better to do that myself. Because, that way, I'm really free to do anything I want with game design. Being independent you take all the roles, the full control of what you want your games to gonna be. And that's something I love. Being free and do with my imagination, with my own will what I want. Being an independent game designer is the best completion of my dream. And my childhood dream is now reality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It took me 4 days to make this video game in the paper. I was inspired from Sonic the Hedgehog and Alex Kidd in Miracle World, to design it. It is something precious for me and I will keep it and sometimes I will go back to see it again, to remind me my dream!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31554860100869653-6545008911953070827?l=bigdipperinterart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigdipperinterart.blogspot.com/feeds/6545008911953070827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigdipperinterart.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-first-video-game-designed-in-paper.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31554860100869653/posts/default/6545008911953070827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31554860100869653/posts/default/6545008911953070827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigdipperinterart.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-first-video-game-designed-in-paper.html' title='My First Video Game Designed In a Paper'/><author><name>Giorgio Sotiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03915617023128832978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qeJhoLV7YCw/Tr6PvLzwDWI/AAAAAAAAAIk/Uja4Em-w-H0/s220/GioLogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CsCrkJHkMJ4/TShrCoRNSfI/AAAAAAAAAD0/0ntJ97LNhe0/s72-c/%25CE%25A0%25CF%2581%25CF%258E%25CF%2584%25CE%25BF+%25CE%2592%25CE%25AF%25CE%25BD%25CF%2584%25CE%25B5%25CE%25BF%25CF%2580%25CE%25B1%25CE%25B9%25CF%2587%25CE%25BD%25CE%25AF%25CE%25B4%25CE%25B9_lq.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
