Vegetable Hunter 2-D: World's First Analog Video Game

As a child, I was really into coming up with games and puzzles. Throughout elementary school, I would come out with a puzzles zine every month. My readership was about 12 people, so I'd run off a dozen copies on my parents' work xerox machine. I loved logic riddles and mazes especially. Meanwhile, I was playing early Nintendo games like Legend of Zelda. The two interests came together when I started making mazes that included items that you could collect. Now, instead of being a linear A --> B voyage, the maze became non-linear; you had to back-track, make decisions, plan strategies, and take risks. It was really the first video game on paper.

Now, in my adulthood, I find myself working as a tutor for young people. Many of them are inspired by puzzles, mazes and the like. I think it's an excellent way to stimulate creativity and problem-solving skills. All without staring at the lit-up screen! I've had one mother tell me, "My son pulled himself away from the computer for half an hour to play your mazes! It's a miracle!"

In conclusion, I humbly present to you Vegetable Hunter 2-D. It's like sudoku for people who hate numbers. It's like crossword puzzles for people who hate words. But it's not for haters, either. It's for lovers. Lovers of adventure.
