Hello, fellow gamers!
My mission with GameDaft is to bring you no-nonsense and well-researched information about video games that is fun and easy to read so you don’t have to dig in various forums to find the answer.
My name is Jan, and I’ve been playing video games since the early 1980s when I bought a Commodore 64 with a tape recorder. Later, I got an Amiga 500 before moving on to PC, consoles, and smartphones.
My taste in games varies, so one day, I play a turn-based strategy game like Civilization, and the next, an RST, FPS, MMORPG, or maybe a sandbox survival game. I also enjoy a good chess or tower defense game on my phone.
My interest in video games and music eventually landed me a job as a lecturer at the University of Copenhagen, where I taught interactive video game audio and music.
I’ve also written content for magazines about everything from the chip music scene to the video game business.
I hope you enjoy reading the content on this site as much as I enjoy creating it. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out.
