G'day!
I'm from Australia, or Aussieland, OZ, The Greatest Country on the planet, or simply: The Great Southern Land; a sunburned country, land of blistering deserts and killer wildlife.
I've been a gamer since writing my first game on bit data cards in 1977 and a PC gamer since 1979.
As well as being a SI Member, I also act as an Admin on this site.
Hope you to see you 'round the ridges and please contact me by PM if you have any questions about the site or contents herein.
Cheers mate!
