*clasps hands together* Ah, video games. I've been playing them almost daily since I was around 6 or so, starting with Alex Kidd in Miracle World for the Sega Master System and onwards. I always was a Sega kid though, having the SMS then progressing to the Mega Drive/Genesis afterwards. Then I got a Game Boy, jumped to the N64, then to the Gamecube and over time I got my hands on a GBC, a GBA, a PS1, a PS2, an XBox, a Nintendo DS, and a Wii.
That said, nowadays I'm mostly a retro gamer, playing the old classics via emulation and getting to experience the old Nintendo ones for the first time. RPG's are my favourite genre, as well as anything involving Sonic the Hedgehog. I don't mind trying a bit of anything, except sports, horror, or wrestling games. I'm a Pokemon fan too- it actually led me to internet contact for the first time.
