Hope you like reading !

In real life, my name is Fabien, I am from France and I am 31 years old. Married, two children  

I have been wandering on the internet for many years, wondering if the PC-Engine was a console that I should buy. I still haven't found the answer yet, but maybe you can help me
I actually have the same question about the Neo-Geo, and still don't know what to do either  

I heard good things about this place in a youtube video. This one here :

So I thought I would drop by, just to see how it is.

It has been 25 years since I started playing video-games. Started with a NES, then made the switch to Sega. I have also been working on a French website dedicated to Sega for maybe 10 years. Nowadays, I only give them a hand for a few reviews. It was too time consuming for me.

Of course I still play a lot, and I usually possess every recent consoles at one moment of my life, at least to try them a bit. Of course, there are some that I keep. Currently, I play on Vita/WiiU/XboxOne.

On the oldies side, I still have my NES, a MD, Sega-CD, 32X, Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast, PSOne, SNES etc... The list is pretty long, and I love playing old games. I particularly love the old pixel-art graphics that we had, for 240 lines resolutions, and always play on my precious CRT

I keep praying that it doesn't break  

I only play in the my best conditions possible. I have high exigence for the picture quality of my consoles. For me, it means a RGB/Scart output, on my CRT, only the real thing. I don't like emulators at all, but I admit they are useful to try things out.

For example, I find the output of the standard SNES a bit blurry. However, anything Sega is pretty much flawless : Master System, MegaDrive, Saturn or Dreamcast. Living in France, I had the luck to have true RGB cables with all my Sega consoles (because they were sold with it in fact. Nintendo or Sony never did this). Sadly, our games were 50Hz, which is a total mess and depending on the game, everything is slow, are only the gameplay etc... Awful situation for us.

I do have various Everdrive cartridges for convenience, but I also have a lot of real games. I am not a collector, but a player. I will only keep games that I like and know I will play often. That's still something like 60 games on Saturn for example  

Well, I guess that's it. I will take a look at the forum and see you around !
