For many children of the 80s, a Super Nintendo on top of the TV was a familiar sight, but not one that followed them into adulthood. For Matthew Williams, 41, a childhood love of video games has turned into a unique way of bonding with his sons who've had a more difficult time than many kids their age.
Matthew's youngest son Macsen, now 11, was born with a gene variation which confuses the messages that his nerve cells pass to each other. This limits his movement, leaves him with severe epilepsy, means he is effectively non-verbal, and can cause him immense pain.
This meant that, when he was younger and his seizures were out of control, he had to spend several periods in hospital. During one of these periods, Matthew thought of a way to spend some quality time with his older son Ioan, now 14.
