Hello all,
I'm new here (yes a noob), but I've been browsing here for a while now and I thought I'd take the dive into this forum, it looks very cool.
Just a quick bit about myself, my name's Sel (short for something else, but that will come later), I'm from Leicester and I've been a gamer for around 22 years now. I still love my retro (retro, according to me that is!) games and machines and I'm still in the process of building my collection up. Just on the lookout for some stuff whilst I'm selling some Jap games on the old eBay to fund my habit ; )
My mates think I'm a bit bonkers (yep) for still playing games to this day but sod 'em. I enjoy it!
I own a few consoles, I'll do a quick list;
SEGA
Mastersystem 1+2
Megadrive 1+2
Saturn
Dreamcast
32X x 2
Gamegear
NINTENDO
Gameboy

Nintendo DS

MICROSOFT

Sega Naomi with Jamma adaptor
PC
Intel quad core q6600 overclocked to 13 GHz, 4 Meg Ram, nVidia 8800 Ultra Graphics card
I've probably missed a load of bits out, but I've got a lot of my stuff up in the attic in storage at the mo as I've bought the house off my parents (they've moved abroad) and I'm going to convert thier old room into a fully fledged games room (the arcade cab can stay in the garage as it doesn't even fit into the house!
I've been into gaming for years, I just love playing games, it would be my ultimate dream to be a games tester but alas, I'm working as a CCTV engineer.
Anyway, glad to be here and if you've got any questions, just fire away!
Sel.
