Archiving my very 1st teenage steps with the Atari 800XL in the form of a folder full of code, sketches & references (all created between 1988-1991)... I started with writing pure hex code, then taught myself the 6502 flavour of Assembler (only learned Z80 before) but then got more & more into game design, icons & demo scene activities (as coder, gfx and chiptunes & co-organizer) and started building several tools & games (incl. The Brundles, a commercial Lemmings clone for the 8-bit Atari in '93)

Playful is a one-day event all about games and play – in all their manifestations, throughout the contemporary media landscape. It’s a conference for architects, artists, designers, developers, geeks, gurus, gamers, tinkerers, thinkerers, bloggers, joggers, and philosophers. We look at what PLAY means both creatively and culturally, and put speakers on the stage who offer different perspectives on where we are currently, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. We want people walking away talking about the nature of games…what they mean to different people inside, on the periphery, outside or miles away from the industry.
