My name is Riki, live in Christchurch, and work for an engineering company.
Have been a gamer my entire life. Still have the '80s 'Fountain' console with it's classic games Shooting Gallery, Laser Attack, Air/Sea Attack, and Olympics. Spent most of my youth in the arcade halls back when games cost 20c (ah the good old days of Wizards, Mo's, Dog House, and Penny Arcade). I now collect arcade machines and pinball machines. Have about 10 arcade including Rampage, Pang, Black Dragon, and one 1969 pinball machine (7-up).

As far as console gaming I went the track of C64 (not technically a gaming console?), Sega Megadrive, Playstation, PS2, PSP, and then a PS3. Speaking of the Commodore 64, does anyone remember the tape drives? I have vivid memories of waiting 30minutes to load a game only to have it crash at the very end of loading, so then having to restart it again for another 30 minutes!! I also have a few random handheld games including Donkey Kong in the brown twin screen flip up. I'm pretty sure it's still in good working order.

Not much of a pc gamer, primarily due to crappy computers, but I'm a huge fan of Age of Empires series particularily the first one, and still regularily play it.
Some of my favourite Playstation games/series would be God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Shadow of the Colossus, GTA, Splinter Cell, Tekken.

Currently playing: Need for Speed Underground, Fifa 09, Dead Nation .
