One of the cool things about working video game
conventions is that I’ve gotten to know many people in the industry, including Patrick
Scott Patterson (a.k.a. PSP), who works to preserve the history of video games, both in
terms of physical cartridges, discs, consoles, and documentation, and in terms of recording
their history in print, including in The SNES Omnibus volumes 1 and 2. He also works as an advocate for gaming, frequently speaking to the media on behalf of the industry. Scott, the
name he prefers to be called, is a devoted family man, a talented gamer, and an
all-around cool guy, and it’s always good to see him at trade shows. We’ve even
done a few panels together. Thanks, Scott!
Here’s Scott’s bio as it appears in The SNES Omnibus:
Patrick Scott Patterson is a video game advocate, historian, and preservationist. Gaming
since 1981, Patterson works full time in his efforts to ensure the legacy of
the industry and culture are not lost to time. Check out his work at
