SENIOR LEAD EDITOR

PROFILE:

While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associate with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he started playing games on the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8 and 12 Hz with a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventally he'd graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, even doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast and being able to play Dead or Alive 3 on the original Xbox before release, that started his conversion to the console world. Since the Dreamcast he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, and Wii. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, hanging out with friends, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Illinois.
