My biggest hobby, apart from collecting old computers and games, is Golf and I play of a handicap of 12.

Trivia:

Welcome to my site. I'm originally from Sweden, but now I live in the UK.

You never know what you find in your attic nowadays. I actually started collecting handheld games in the Spring of 1998. I started collecting Game Boy games, but decided that there were just too many. Playing Game & Watch Gallery on the Game Boy reminded me of when I was young playing these games in the schoolyard. I went out searching for them and my first game was a loose Donkey Kong II (JR-55). After about 2 years of collecting I have finally completed my collection. My final game was the Super Mario Bros. YM-801 Crystal Screen that I received on the 23rd of November 2001. You can see the whole collection by visiting the Game and Watch page. It hasn't been easy, but it has been fun.

I've also been Collecting Philips Videopac games for the G7000 since I also had one of these when I was younger. You can see how my collection is going by visiting the Philips Videopac page.

Cheats and tricks:

I managed to lure this young lady into marrying me.
