not to kick ass or chew bubble gum but actually because Gordman told me about it. 
I'm Melanie from Gruenwald (that's south of Munich) and maybe some other people know me as that ancient user on Sega8bit who rarely posts there (925 Posts in nearly 12 years is probably kinda lame) and those who don't know me will know me soon enough
Anyway after the Master System kickstarted my interest in all things video games, a Mega Drive soon followed and at first disappointed me (i might be one of a handful people who prefer games like Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and Castle of Illusion on the Master System) but soon kicked my ass with awesome games and nowadays i rank it as my second most favourite console right after the Playstation 2.
I'm also what most people would call a Hardcore Gamer, i collect games (though i'm not a hardcore collector, i don't give a fuck about cover variations or sticker variations, i just get games because when i was younger i was always amazed at the look of game stores and i always wanted a game store at home and also because every console features at least 2-3 games worth playing), consoles and play a lot and game development even is my job, i'm basically surrounded 16 hours per day by games and programming and while my focus in the past 3 years shifted to the PC i still love my old consoles and every year at new years eve me and my friends gather around to play some games - King of Fighters & Windjammers Tournament on the Neo Geo but also games like Streets of Rage, Golden Axe on the Mega Drive are a must play every time.

The Playstion 2 is an amazing system, but it has more bad games than good ones, which is a shame.
