COSPLAY<br />

FEATURETTE<br />

BY ANNY SIMS<br />

In this modern age of virtual reality and online gaming, we sometimes forget how far gaming has come<br />

in a considerably short time. I grew up alongside games despite none of my family ever being gamers,<br />

with a GameBoy and Playstation being my first consoles I exclusively owned. Greedy eyes watched<br />

amazing sights on the tiny box television we had, soaking up dragons and animals and humans all<br />

saving the world and performing amazing feats. Like me, many cosplayers grew up alongside games<br />

and continue to honour them by recreating themselves in their image.
