Why am I called Dad's Backlog?
Well the TLDR version is I've been playing video games since the Atari and Vic 20 days and over the years I've started many games and in most cases never finished them so I've made quite of collection of games I always wanted to finish but never found time to do it.
So I created this channel so my son and daughter can hopefully someday find this and watch Dad play through a lot of games he loved and maybe you all can share some of your memories of them too.
