RetroX Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm from Sweden and a veteran gamer. My real name is Christer Johansson. I have owned many consoles and computers through the years, from Channel F, Magnavox Odyssey II, SNES, Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Vectrex, Atari ST/STE, Atari 800 XL, Atari 130 XE, VIC 20, Amiga CD32, Gameboy and many more.Novadays i'm mostly a retrogamer using countless of emulators, downloading roms, scanned in magazines and much more. Everything about retrogaming and videogame history is interesting for me.Else i deal with photography, philosophy, history, and much more. And what about Atari? I owned Atari 800 XL for several years before buying my first Atari ST, then i was an Atari ST user for 14 years until i got my first PC in 2002. So it has been pretty much Atari for me. I still love both 8bit Atari and Atari ST...and novadays Atari 2600 too. *voice booms out* - Have you played Atari today? YES i have, Pac Man 2600 8k version.
