Well, Larry, welcome to the video gamer podcast.

We don't really have an intro on this.

So I would just like to ask you to kind of introduce yourself and kind of, you know,

how you fell in love with video games, just like right off the bat.

Oh, absolutely.

That is a great question so I'm I'm

Larry Cooperman I'm I'm probably better known as Larry Nightdive my my norm to

internet and I I do biz dev for for night dive studios we We're a division of Atari, so I guess I should mention that.

How I fell in love with video games.

Well, that's a fantastic question.

So I want to say the year was 1991, may have been 1990, and I played the shareware version of a little game called

Wolfenstein 3D. And there came a moment, you know, it's funny, this seems so incredibly naive,

but it was world- changing at the time.

There came a moment when I realized that it was my hand holding the gun in Wolf 3D, and the world

changed, you know, the world, the world changed for me.

So that was your first, like, introduction to video game with, like, original

Wauphinstein?

I had, well, the original Wulfenstein even pre-dance.

Sorry, Wolfenstein 3D, not like return to Castle, Welfinstein.

That was the, that was the, that was the Carmack Romero version of it.

Yes, so that was the one that changed things for me.

I had been exposed to video games before.
