I guess I have always been attracted to gadgets.
Gaming consoles
As far as I can remember, my first game console was a B&W made-in-Hong Kong
pong machine that plugs into the TV. This was followed by the Atari VCS 2600,
Nintendo, Super Nintendo, MegaDrive and a host of other consoles. The NeoGeo
console is still in great working condition.

Computers
I started off with the 2mb RAM single board OSI Superboard, move on to the
Commodore Pet, Apple, C64, IBM and others. My favorite gaming PC is the Atari
ST – I had one running in colour and the other in superb monochrome. Having a
real interest in small computers, I owned an early Olivetti CGA notebook, a
couple of HP Omnibooks and am now using two Toshiba Librettos, the older 110Ct
for games.

PDAs
Naturally, I had all the Nintendo’s Watch and Game devices, including the
multi-screen ones. My favorites are Fire and Manhole which I still enjoy
immensely. As I had a 6-year old daughter then, I got her all the modules of
"Speak and Spell" that I can find. I even purchased a couple of Franklin
Bookmans for their games.

As for handheld gaming, I was probably the first person in Singapore to own a
Game Boy, having purchased it overseas. I had two Sega Game Gears and a
Nintendo Virtual Boy. My only regret was I did not own the NEC handheld. My
current passion is the
GamePark GP32
gaming device.

When the Palm Pilot was released, I was the first kid on the block to own
every model that was released up to OS 3.5. After that I became more
selective and now use a Treo 270. It was the same with the Pocket PC – I
started with the HP WinCe, and on various occasions own one or more of
HP Jornadas, Casios and iPAQs. My last PPC was the Fujitsu.

Summary
Generally speaking, I am interested in all things electronic – from cameras,
videos, radios, cd / vcd / DVD, tape recorders… The smaller they are the
better. You can find out more of what I am up to at my personal website –

write-ups on the web, including the-gadgeteer.
