Blind Squirrel Games combines small studio values, with big studio ambitions.
What initially attracted you to gaming?
I was first attracted to the coin-operated games in the later part of the 70s.
Id get a pocket full of quarters and spend half a day at the local arcade with friends.
That eventually led to the first home consoles: Atari, Intellivision and so on.
I was always a tinkerer and problem solver.
I took my parents TV apart to see how it worked.
As you’ve got the option to imagine, that didn’t go over well.
I was hooked from there.
The rest is history.
