About the Author

Joe’s first experience of video games was via SEGA’s Master System, and from that day he was enamoured. A lifelong SEGA and Sonic the Hedgehog fan, Joe has spent an unhealthy amount of time not only playing SEGA’s games, but also reading and devouring their history. Originally from Australia, he now lives in England with his cute dog and very understanding wife. If you’d like to see more of his work you can do so at jmdworks.org.
