| Although his biggest competitive gaming achievements would come on the [[N64]], Ilari’s early gaming experiences came on other platforms. In fact he skipped Nintendo out altogether until 2000 when he bought a [[SNES]] to play games he’d missed out on. | | Although his biggest competitive gaming achievements would come on the [[N64]], Ilari’s early gaming experiences came on other platforms.

| Ilari had borrowed a friend’s Playstation to play the first [[Metal Gear Solid]] (MGS) game. He then saved enough money to be able to purchase the [[Playstation 2]] system when it came out to pick up [[MGS2]]. | | Ilari had borrowed a friend’s Playstation to play the first [[Metal Gear Solid]] (MGS) game.
