Hi all
Well I thought I'd say hello to you all having just joined the forum! My love of SEGA began in the early 90's when Santa brought me a Mega Drive complete with Sonic. Prior to that I had a Sinclair Spectrum and spent a lot of time playing on mates' Atari's, C64's etc. You can imagine how blown away I was by that opening sequence and first sight of the blue hedgehog!
Since then I've stuck with console gaming, dabbled with gaming PC's - I currently have a mid range gaming rig and seem to be constantly buying humble bundles and what have you and adding to an ever growing Steam library, 95% of which remains unplayed. In between work and family commitments (I have 2 young boys) I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time reading about gaming without actually playing but, having recently purchased an HST-004 JPN Saturn, my love for all things SEGA has been and I'm determined to once again build up my Saturn collection. My main love is 2d shooters and fighters - Layer Section being a particular favourite.
I currently own a Dreamcast, Saturn, 3 Mega Drive's, Atari 800, Sinclair Spectrum and Nintendo Switch.

Welcome to SSUK retroeddie. Cool avatar. Fighters and Shooters are probably my favourites as well and who doesn't love Layer Section/Galatic Attack. Out Of interest why do you own 3 Megadrive's?

Thanks Sych. Princess Crown is on my list of Saturn games to play.
I picked up the Mega Drive's over the years at local boot sales.

Thanks Sych. Princess Crown is on my list of Saturn games to play. I picked up the Mega Drive's over the years at local boot sales. Good on ya! Princess Crown should be on everyone lists Boot sales! I know that feeling, how easy it is to buy stuff you may not actually need because of the convenience of it being in front of you and reasonably cheap. I had that habbit with Saturn Model 2 Pads. There was a period when all I came across was brand new or hardly used Saturn Model 2's pads . I now have 2 Standard black, JPN grey, JPN White, JPN Stallion, JPN Samsung, JPN JVC and JPN Hitachi Model 2 pads all because they were cheap and went under the radar for a period. We currenlty have a few gaming polls going on in the Light Gun Alley Section on pages 1 & 2 for a few Fighters & Shooters. Feel free to add your opinion and join the debate. Any particular Fighting favorite's or style's you prefer? i.e 2D or 3D

I wish we had boot sales with a steady supply of Saturn pads near me! I;m a big fan of 2D fighters - Street Fighter, Dark Stalkers but love the 3d fighting of sould calibur too. TBH I;m terrible at both
