My primary focus is video games from the mid-90's to mid-00's (May '93 – August '06), as a period in which instruction manuals were still in vogue and press coverage was adequately extensive. I certainly can and have taken a few cracks at works outside of that range, though gaming magazines weren't a serious force stateside in the olden times, and new-fangled games don't come with manuals anymore, which means I have to piece together the gameplay myself from other sources. If I manage to get more comfortable with those conditions, I'm open to the possibility of extending my range.
