Hello, My name's Rob, but I generally go by the name GigerPunk online (Well, it seemed a good idea at the time, away back when)
Heard about Amibay a while ago but never really got round to signing up properly, so trying again now...
My first love's my C64 (Although my original breadbin's given up the ghost it seems, so am using a 64c I got from a schoolmate when he decided he didn't want it any more) and that's my 'main' collection, although I also have a fair few other systems, including:
Amiga (A couple of 500+ models, currently in the loft due to lack of space. Maybe three, now I come to think of it, but think only one worked)
Vectrex.
Atari 7800.
NES, Snes, N64, Gamecube.
Master System, Megadrive, Game gear, Saturn, Dreamcast.
Playstation 1, 2, 3 and psp.
Xbox and Xbox 360.
A few different Grandstand and similar pong-style machines and bits and pieces like that. I've probably forgotten some stuff, but that's the gist of it, I think. Hoping to get a Spectrum again at some point, as my original toastrack model somehow disappeared from my parents' loft some time ago, which is a bit gutting, but at least I still have a fair chunk of my games (and I still have most of my C64 stuff, so have to be grateful for that)
I started doing Youtube videos a year or two ago (mainly emulated stuff on xbox) when I was off work sick for a while and still try to keep up doing them now on my 'real' hardware as things are, well, a bit nightmarish to be honest (family illness), and it's a nice distraction, to be able to share some of my games and reminiscences with like-minded people in lieu of an actual social life.
Aside from gaming, I go to work (IT, network support), and look after my wife, cats and chickens and that's pretty much it.
Oh yeah, bit of a sad old goth, too :wink:
