Am 28 years old, live in Northampton, England, work as a internet administrator. Like horror films, rock music, zombie books etc etc.

My gamertag is Happyhead UK, I really really want to play online games with friendly people,as I hate playing with strangers, I really feel like I'm missing out on online games due to this fact so am envious of all the people with thier fancy 'friend lists'!

Anyway my first console was a BBC Acorn Electron, I loved it, had hundreds of games for it. My fave games were the Repton ones, as well as Crazy Rider, and a game set in a underground base that I can't recall the title of. All good things come to an end though. One day the cassette box thing broke, rather then get a new one my parents chucked the whole thing away, and sold all the games to some dodgy bloke at a car boot sale for £5.

That was the end of my console owning days I assumed. My friends all had Master Systems, so we would spend hours playing Alex Kidd and Sonic, I thought the graphics and sound were unbelivable.

One birthday I find a big present, I open it to find surrounded by a legion of angels a Megadrive, a pure virgin Megadrive, with Altered Beast and Sonic. Before that day I had not even realised such a beast of power existed.

I become the cool kid in the neighbourhood with everyone wanting to play it. A year later a bitter war erupted, a enemy appeared on the horizon - the Super NES...

It was a bitter and bloody battle over the next few years. Some of my friends got Megadrives, while other friends were torn asunder and got Super NES's, a civil war of apocalyptic proportions. Fighting in the streets, gangs armed with Game Gears and Gameboys beating each other into bloody chunks, a literal Hell on Earth.

Looking back I think this is were my dislike of Nintendo appeared. Don't get me wrong, nowadays I love Nintendo games, I own a GBA, DS, Gamecube and Wii, but at the root of my being I will always love Sega more. To this day I dislike Mario. I think the games are amazing, but he himself I detest. I refuse to believe there is such a thing as a bad Sonic game, I just turn a blind eye to the bad ones...anyway I digress.

After that I brought a NES, sold it, though liked it, brought a Super NES (my fave game of all time is the Super NES version of Batman Returns), sold it to get a Playstation, sold that when I got a Playstation 2, brought an almighty Dreamcast (RIP), and got a N64 for Goldeneye. Swallowed my pride and brought a Xbox. The rest is history.

Now I own a Dreamcast, Wii, Xbox, 360, Playstation 2, Master System, Megadrive (my pride, over 200 games), GBA, DS, NES, Super NES, and a Gamecube (which I have misplaced somewhere).

My Gaming set-up (Photos powered by crappy Tescos Value Range Disposable Camera) The Rotting Zombie | 1:01 PM on 04.22.2008 13 comments

Here is my gaming set-up, it is hard to see as the camera I used is utter crap... Some of my games, well all the games which I'm not currently playing, or yet to play. My Megadrive games, and paltry amount of Master System Games, plus GBA with scratched screen My Resident Evil Anniversary Figures, they were damn good, apart from Hunk who likes to lean forward somewhat. Some of my Resident Evil 4 figures, and my DS Lite A badly framed photo of my TV, featuring my TV, Dreamcast...and Knuckles (he is smaller in real life) Some of my consoles, hard to see, but there is a 360, X-Box, Wii, Master System, and Megadrive. There would also be a PS2 where the notepad is, but I'm such a nice guy that I've lent it to a friend, as hers has died recently. Lastly a photo of the whole area. Additional stuff nearly seen in this photo is my damn comfy armchair, PC, and newly purchased Wii Steering Wheel. And that is it, excitement overload.
