Wood’s parents bought an NES at the same time he was born and for as
long as he can remember he grew up playing it and loving every moment
of it. Ever since then his love for Nintendo and Gaming has reached no
limit and now he is an avid video game collector. In 2010 his love for
gaming grew to the YouTube community of gamers, who’s weekly videos
drove him to start his own channel in early 2013. His YouTube channel
revolves around his show ”The Game Quest” in which the viewer
follows Wood and his friends around markets, garage sales and shops in
Australia on the search for new and retro games. Success spread
quickly as other YouTubers reached out to lend him a hand in getting
his name out there, to which he is very grateful.Wood spends most of his time these days game hunting, editing videos
and gaming, but you might also catch him checking out a local music
gig, going for a run or standing in a line waiting for the next big
game to hit shelves.To watch Wood hunt for retro games, give his opinion on things or to
just marvel at his glorious hair, visit his YouTube

About Gamester81
John "Gamester81" Lester started playing video games at a very young age. His first ever console that he played was a Colecovision, quickly followed by an Atari 2600, and his passion for video games hasn't stopped. In 2008 John decided to start a video game review show on YouTube called Gamester81 by reviewing rare and retro video game systems and games. His show quickly grew in popularity, and he became friends with many other gamers in the YouTube community.
He is also one of the hosts of the All Gen Gamers Podcast which is a bimonthly podcast for people and video games of all generations.
Some of John's other hobbies includes collecting Star Wars memorabilia (YouTube channel Starwarsnut77), playing classic arcade games (YouTube channel Gamester81Arcade), watching sports, and listening to music.
