| About myself: | I'm a twenty-something year old gamer who was first introduced to the magnificent world of gaming around 1992 with an AtariVCS "Family Game" clone (In fact, you can see one the one that endured until today in the Wikipedia article), after some weeks of drooling in front of a local electronics store, which had usually had a Commodore 64 (or was it a ZX Spectrum? Or a ST? Nevermind now) running Fire Power.
Things changed around in 1995 when I got my first "proper" console - a Sega Mega Drive, packed along Fantastic Dizzy + Cosmic Spacehead. In 1997 I was forced to buy a computer, a then fast P166 MMX. My first games were NHL 98 (which I had bought weeks before getting the computer) and FIFA Soccer Manager, and shifted focus to PC games, including developing some coffee-break games between 1998 and 2001.
I've lost touch with consoles in the years that followed until in 2001 emulation (following my introduction to abandonware in late 1999 and the Internet in May 2000) rekindled my interest on the Mega Drive. As by then the 2nd hand market was booming (due to a lot of PSX for MDs trade-ins), I've started to build a collection of games, and right now, most of my games for the platform were acquired after 2002. The last major thing to happen was buying an used Sega Saturn, about 10 years after the release. While I expected to build a 20/30 game collection around it in 2006, I got turned off by the number of cds that the machine refuses to read, so I'll stop by 18 unless there's something interesting popping up.
You might see me approving stuff in some places, and generaly contributing screenshots and revisions for a few games, particularly sports. | |
