My name is Jeff Adkins. Some of you may recall Classic Systems & Games Monthly (one of the original "fanzines" like Digital Press) that I edited with a great deal of help from Scott (I Am The Eggman) Stilphen, and the keeper and guardian of video game lore Russ Perry Jr.. I now reside in Streetsboro Ohio (about 30 miles south of Cleveland. You know the city where we throw beer bottles at football games) still working in construction. I was looking for my old game addicted fiend Joe Santulli around here at the DP site. I've been playing and collecting games for nearly thirty years now. But first and foremost I am a player. Some of my accomplisments include being the first to find the programmers initials in E.T.(2600),getting to Run 130 in Tunnel Runner(2600) and numerous other intense sessions. I live,breath,and die video games. At 41 I may have lost a step or two but I can still compete. The spirit and history of the classic games must NEVER be forgotten! Greetings to all my vidhead friends old and new!

Roll out the red carpet!
When I got your email yesterday a tidal wave of memories came back. I like it when that happens!
Really glad you're still into the gaming scene and found us again! Knowing you, you've already carefully scanned through the HIGH SCORE PAGE and have made some changes there... or shall be, soon.
@Everyone: Jeff (Tunnel Runner) and I started our little indy publication ventures around the same time, and sometime shortly after 2600 Connection started. Imagine, there were at LEAST three "classic gaming" zines out there 11 years ago. Then again, that was before everyone was on the internet.
Anyway, hope you'll hang out with us a bit here, Jeff. I know you've got a lot to contribute and we have a lot of catching up to do, too.
PS Scott Stilphen (superstonic) and Russ Perry Jr. (slapdash) check in here as well. Quite a reunion, eh?
