About myself: | You probably know me as the 90s gaming and computing fanatic who is a total archivist. As such, this is the perfect site for me. To be more specific, I have loved computers since the beginning of my life. I first used one when I was only two years old in 1997 and have been into it ever since. In later years I started getting intrigued with hardware, and I started gaining an immense interest in the history of computing. This has subsequently led to a hobby in vintage computing, though I have yet to be making enough money to start a collection. My favorite era of computing is the 90s, and I have a strong attachment to edutainment games of that decade. I do occasionally play modern games as well, but I am far more proud of my disc-based game collection than anything. At one point in my life I favored console games, but I have since lost track of that industry and now only focus on the computer side. I am the kind of person who must archive and back up everything. I truly can't bear the thought that something will be lost forever. I actively scan covers and take screenshots to make sure gaming history will be preserved on this site. Games I own that lack MobyGames articles (as of 1/5/2020): [Windows] I Spy School Days Jumpstart Kindergarten Jumpstart Kindergarten 1998 Jumpstart 1st Grade Reading Jumpstart 2nd Grade Math Tonka Garage Candyland Adventure Word Munchers Deluxe Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?
