Hello from Denmark =)

[konsolting]

Greetings!

I just bought another Saturn, because i like to mod consoles, and atm i'm spending some time diving into the Saturn world. I grew up with the PS1, and have never spend a lot of time with the Saturn, so it's great to spend some time with it now.

I'm a collector for many platforms, and my focus point is my PS Vita EU set. After i bought the Saturn, i will focus a bit on this great machine, and get some nice games for it, besides the Vita

My name is Thomas, and i'm 32 years old. I live in Denmark with my wife and 5 year old daughter, and i'm working as a social educator / social worker.

I love martial arts, and after we moved for around 6 month ago, i started karate in a local karate klub. Besides family, work and karate, i love to spend time with gaming and collecting games. I collect for multiple systems, and at the moment, my collection i at 2319 different games and 93 different consoles.

I have a blog (written in danish) where i sometimes write about gaming / collecting related articles, guides, projects, ... Besides that, i sometimes do YouTube videos. Some of these are in danish, but i switched over to doing english content for around 1 year ago +-.

I'm looking forward to spend some more time browsing this forum

Nice selection. At my peak i only had 44 consoles and maybe 600 games. Do you find time to play these games? Ya know when people say they have alot of consoles does having say a gameboy advance and then a gamevoy advance sp count as the same thing or separate. So if you have a sega genesis 1-3 does that count as 3 different machines? Or would you consider it 1 console with 3 variations? Thats what i always wondered.

Thx.

When i write "different consoles", i count different models / colors. When it comes to the PS2 for instance, i count the 3 models of the original release (with the different outputs) as 3 "different consoles. If i had the blue / black dev. units, i would also count them as different (5 "different" PS1´s). Another example could be the PS2. There are 2 different versions of the PS2 slim model. One with internal PSU, and one with external. For me they are "different consoles". If i have the black, pink and silver release of the PS2 slim, i count them as "3 different". I do not count different internal builds / motherboard revisions as different consoles, only if the consoles are different in the look, from the outside. I hope you understand what i mean

I dont have time / interest to play all my games. Some of my games are more for the "collector side" of me, where other appeal to my "gamer side". The Final Fantasy games are a great example. I dont like to play FF games, and for that sake turn based RPGs, but i enjoy to have the FF games on my shelf. With that said, i do game quite a bit. In 2015, i completed (played until the credits roll) 56 games, in 2016 it was 36, and in 2017 (until now) it's 10.

I hope it makes some sense
