Chess
Chess is one of the first games I remember playing. My grandparents taught me how to play, but I was usually more interested in looking at the carved chess pieces than playing.

Burnout 3: Takedown
I loved playing this game with my Dad on our PS2 at the time - although I remember playing it muted because it had some interesting dialogue that my 4-year-old self shouldn't hear.

Minecraft PE Lite
One of the earliest mobile apps I used, alongside snake and the flashlight app. I remember being so confused as to how to play without dying to the zombies - the only enemy in the game.

Wii Sports Resort
I loved playing this game with my family on our Saturday games night. Although some minigames got very tense, I have very fond memories of this game and the Wii as a whole.

Lethal Company
This game came out just as I was wrapping up school, and was a fantastic way to connect with my friends and move on from year 12. It was also the first game I played on my PC, even though I built it a year prior. Zeekerss 2023, Lethal Company, video game, Steam, Zeekerss.
