Pete Skerritt

West Springfield, MA

Since 1976 and beating his dad at Telstar PONG, Pete has been playing video games. He grew up ar arcade rat, spending time either playing coin-ops or watching others play, before getting his first console-- the Nintendo Entertainment System-- for Christmas in 1990. He went on to buy most consoles that hit the market between 1991 and 2007.

Pete began writing video game reviews back in 1999 before landing his first reviewer job in early 2001. He went on to write reviews, along with video game sales analysis, opinion pieces, and news articles, for the next 12 years before walking away in 2013.

Pete launched the Retro Unscripted project in January of 2014, which was a series of videos filmed without edits, scripts, or professional equipment. He also returned to writing in May 2014, joining the Retroware writing team; he currently pens a bi-weekly series of articles under the Consoleation brand for the website.

In March of 2015, Pete consolidated the Retro Unscripted video series into his Consoleation brand. Under that brand, Pete continues to create video and written content, with retro video games as a primary focus.
