Hello all

Hi all
Let me introduce myself
My name is Alan and being a computer and console owner since the late 70s so I've been around for quite a while and owned some classics over the years.
Pong TV game
Atari VCS
Atari 800xl
Atari 65 xe
Atari st
Atari jag
Sega Saturn
Sega dreamcast
As can be seen I started on the Ataris and moved over to sega in the mid 90s
I loved the Saturn but when the dreamcast was on the horizon I couldn't wait to get one so I pre ordered one from toys r us in Preston and picked it up on release date.i got the console with an extra controller 2x memory modules and 2 games(ready 2 rumble and incoming)
I used to love playing those plus VS2 and house of the dead 2
I absolutely loved the dreamcast and it was the most underrated console of all time
Anyway over the years the collection disappeared for one reason or another and I moved to the PC and classic arcade machine collecting.
So after 20 years I have decided to re aquire and play some of my old consoles and classic games but I still had a few in storage(sadley not a dreamcast)
I still have all my jaguar stuff and now have an atari st and 65 xe(that's the atari bit sorted)plus an old adman grandstand 2600 mk2 pong game.
Over the last week I have just bagged(in seperate auctions)
A mint Dreamcast With controller
3x memory cards
1 extra controller
HDMI interface
Incoming game
And my kids(now grown up)are getting me VS2 and ready 2 rumble for Christmas
Anyway enough rambling on its nice to be here and I am really looking forward to the dreamcast again
Only downside the wife got me these for Christmas and I can't have them untill then but it beats socks and aftershave hands down
On a side note I also own 2 full size arcade stand ups (Daytona USA(model 2) and a stand up virtua striker 2 98(model 3))
