About
Phil Beeby (Lord Roke)
I’ve been playing videogames since the late 70s when I saw an Atari 2600 running Night Driver. From that point onwards I was hooked. In the 80s I spent many hours on the wonderfully British – Acorn BBC Micro Model B. Games like Elite and Revs were my bread and butter in those days.
On the console front I was the proud owner of a Sega Master System and then moved to the Megadrive and SNES in the early 90s. Since then I’ve owned pretty much every major console released. I currently spend my limited gaming time on the 360, PS3 and Mac for Warcraft.

I’ve been playing games for 14 years now after inherting my Dad’s Commodore vic 20 at the age of 4 and then badgering him until he gave me his Commodore 64. Then came one of the happiest moments of my life when my dad came into my room with a NES and a copy of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.
Then came the Amiga with its plush graphics the bitmap brothers churning out classics by the dozen and many hours of my lfe wasted on Cannon Fodder. Then there was my importing of Super Nintendo with hacked copies of Street Fighter and Jap converters ahh I was never short of tuck money that year. Then there was the Sega Megadrive with its E.A sports franchises and there ends my life, I’ve been hooked playing sports games ever since.
I will play pretty much any sports game and I dont suffer fools, don’t ask me about Wii Sports or I’ll flip. Forever known in my cirlcle of pals as the sports junkie anything sports gaming related and I’m your man.
