Who am I, and my gaming story.
Hello there! My name is NeiDneX. I was born in 1995 and I come from Serbia.
I started gaming on the Famicom when I was 5 years old, then moved to the PlayStation 1 at the age of 7. When I was 12, I got my first PC, a Pentium III, which opened a whole new world of games for me. World of Game House games, awesome FPS shooters and Real Time Strategy games.
In 2005-2007 my dad took me to the flea market and we wanted to buy some movies, and we came across 6 Star Wars movies on one DVD/R, and I was aware of Star Wars since I played Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles on PS1. We watched all of them, and that's when I became big fan of LucasArts and follow his work till this day. My favorite Jedi is still Plo Koon, and Darth Vader as Sith.
I had PS1 until 2009, and it was broken, and my favorite games till this day are Medievil, Rampage, Tekken 3, Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles, and Crash Bash. Of all which I played, this ones are really awesome for me.
In 2010, I got Nokia C2-01 and I played many games on it.
Over the years, I played many different games, but the biggest part of my gaming life is Counter Strike I started to play back in 2005 when my parents and grandparents would take me to internet caffes, also, World of Warcraft, which I played from 2012 until 2023. During that time, I often took breaks from WoW by playing older and retro games. In 2015 I started to use my name I still use... NeiDneX. I figured it out by finding my account on GameTracker.
In 2019, I bought myself a Famiclone along with many cartridges.
In 2020, I received another PC from my dad and returned to Unreal Tournament (1999), a game I had briefly played years earlier.
In 2022, I started playing Tetris for the first time with Tetris Ultimate on PC, even if I knew the game for the long time...
In 2023 my family buyed me a powerful PC but I still played retro games.
In 2024, I gave my gaming PC to my dad... also, I tried AdventureQuest 3D again after 6 years, but eventually left it and decided to fully focus on retro gaming. Most of my time was spent playing MS-DOS, NES, and Atari 2600 games. I actually discovered Atari 2600 after watching Ready Player One in 2020.
Around 2022–2023, I rediscovered GTA 2 on PC, a game I had played heavily on the PS1 between the ages of 9 and 14, until my console broke.
On 3rd December 2024, I started to play Angband for the first time, but quit it somewhere at the end of December when I discovered a game called OpenRSC and played it for a while. After that, I moved toward roguelike and racing games. I played Angband, translated Pathos into Serbian, and enjoyed games like Hot Wheels Unleashed and Need for Speed World on the Nightriderz server.
On 2nd January 2025, I discovered OldUnreal for the first time, and that's when my UT journey started. Eventually, I stepped away from all games and returned to Unreal Tournament and OpenRSC in 17th December 2025, when my grandmother gift me her Asus X55A in November 2025. However, I realized that OpenRSC make my laptop burn, and Unreal Tournament is really flashy to me, I needed to quit those games, and I continue to play retro games for NES and PS1, old PC titles, Itch.io games and Pico-8 games.
My favorite game of all time?
My favorite game of all time is Doom I and Doom II. It all started with PS1 version of Doom I back when I used to have PS1... I've played it many times, finished it more than once, and I still keep coming back to it. I love everything about it... the atmosphere, shotgun, demons, more demons, and omg so much demons! It's one of those games that never gets old for me, no matter how many times I play it.
Very close behind is MediEvil for PS1. It follows Sir Daniel Fortesque on his quest to defeat the evil sorcerer Zarok. What makes it special to me is Daniel's tragic story. He was a "fake hero" in life, but gets a second chance to prove himself after being mistakenly resurrected. I first finished it when I was 10, and I've never fully replayed it since, which makes it even more memorable to me.
Close behind is Metroid for NES and SNES because of the UI and the atmosphere I really love in those games. And finally Crash Bash, not for its story or gameplay depth, but because I played it with my grandmother. It's one of my best gaming memories, just having fun together on the PS1.
YouTuber.
I started recording on YouTube back in 2017, recording old PC titles, and messing around with my very first logo. Then I made new Youtube channel with the same name, and I wanted to record and have account with Android games only, and it didn’t last long. In 2018, I created a new channel focused on animations and game development, but in 2022 I deleted everything and disappeared from the internet for a while. In 2023, thanks to my sister Pekmeya who encouraged me to return , 4th channel with the same name was made and here I am, started recording with the first video on 16th October 2024. Yes, I deleted previous three NeiDneX YouTube channels completely.
What did I done before?
I’m used to be a Game Developer and Animator. I made games with 001 Game Creator and animations with Easy Video Maker. I did this for 2 years (2019-2021) and then deleted it all. Now in 10th January 2025, I am back as game developer because of my sister, and we wanted to make html game called Pekmeyans' Solar System, which you can play on pss.neocities.org, and I translated Pathos to Serbian language for Pathos and it's version 7.3, and I am still translating that game from time to time.
What's logo about?
My logo present mixture of Samus Aram (Metroid) and Pokey (Pac-Man) which I made back in 2017 with Piskel, when I made my gaming name... NeiDneX.
Who inspired me to make these comics?
I got inspired by Angband online comic strip written by Jon Cole and Devin Kent back in 2001 and 2002. The original website disappeared from the face of the web long time ago, but I found it on Angband.live .
Stop Killing Games supporter.
I am a supporter of game preservation and initiatives like Stop Killing Games. I’ve been following the movement since 30 September 2025, after watching a video by Josh Strife Hayes explaining it.
