I joined last week after finding the site through the Games Press forums (media site based in the UK). While I don't really collect games, I've got quite a few as I was a spoiled kid and I've spent a fair amount of my own money in the past. My first console was Intellivision using the PlayCable setup. Eventually got a Sega Master System and kept sticking with Sega from there, rarely playing any Nintendo consoles. I inherited a Commodore 64 in the mid to late 80s and played that way too much. Grew up in Connecticut and spent nine years in Arizona but currently live in Michigan.
