    Long time lurker up on your screens now and out of the shadows.
    Just wanted to say that this site is a great resource for all things from the school of old.
    Many times various posts around on these forums have saved my skin (or the skin of an older console).
    Figured I should probably sign up since I'll probably need some help in the next few days.
    I hope I'll be able to help some people with my knowledge too.

    I like collecting consoles from SEGA primarily from the PAL region between 1990 and 2000-ish.
    Which works out well as it includes Mega Drives through to Dreamcasts.
    While I am not much of a gamer myself, I am slowly learning to play the older classics I missed out on as a kid.
    Never had much more than a Game Boy and BOY OH BOY was Tetris and Super Mario Land the best 5 years of my life.

    Always liked the Mega Drives the most and after I discovered how beautiful the Mega CD I unit was....
    The collection started to build!

    So thanks for all you have helped me with in the past and may we have a merry jolly time together! :applause:

    Greetings to all! and Thanks again! I'm here all week!
    Hahahaha! Poor Melbournite​s! Sydney just must be the place to be at the moment.

    :topsy_turvy: Just picked up an Amstrad Mega PC on eBay. I've got to say that 2am sure is a strange time to end an auction....
    Now the wait as it is ferried down by couriers from Sunny Queensland.... I hate waiting for *things*!
    Things, things, things, things. Oh how I want so many things!

    Move out? Why on earth would you want to do that!
    But things are so damn awesome! And rest assured, I'll give a thorough documentation on the Mega PC with loads of pictures.
    Hopefully it will have some upgradability, otherwise I'll get bored very quickly. Muhahaha!
