I suppose this is where the 'about me' credentials go. Well as far as gaming goes, I grew up on it from an early age on my TI99 and Binatone (pong + lightgun 6 game majigy). When I was 5, my dad bought me a Commodore 64 and from there I played games, wrote music, drew graphics and learned to program which has served me well in work ever since.

Since then I've owned a multitude of computers and consoles, usually prefering Commodore and Nintendo and then PC. However I am something of a collector and of last count have:-

Computers - 2 x c64, 1 x ZX Spectrum +, 1 x Amiga 500, 2 x Amiga 600, 2 x PC, 1 x Laptop.

Consoles - 1 x Gameboy, 2 x Gameboy colour, 2 x GBA, 1 x GBA-SP, 1 x DS, 3 x NES, 3 x SNES, 4 x N64, 2 x GC, 1 x Wii, 2 x Master System 2, 2 x Megadrive, 1 x MegaCD, 1 x 32X, 2 x Saturn, 1 x Dreamcast, 1 x PS1, 2 x PS2, 1 x Jaguar, 1 x Lynx. (There's probably more but my collection is currently split over 2 locations, 300 miles apart)
