Niko Nirvi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Niko Nirvi is a long-term major icon in the Finnish gaming world. He is well known for writing computer game reviews since the 1980s in MikroBitti, C and the computer game yearbooks that were predecessors of the Pelit magazine. He has worked for the latter since its founding in 1992, and holds a column in addition to making reviews and other reports.

Trademarks of his are signing with "Nnirvi" or a variation, and never showing his face in the magazine. Photos of him are always either covered or edited in a way that the face is unrecognizable. Wallu's drawings of Nirvi depict him as a bearded man with Spock's Vulcan ears.
