Long-time gamer and hobbyist developer, now also professionally involved with mobile phone games.
I am old enough to have played Space Invaders when it was new, and have been a gamer ever since. Currently I have a large collection of consoles and handhelds, but am way behind on the actual playing.
My particular thing, these days, is handhelds. I have a decent collection of reasonably recent handheld consoles, including the Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan, PSP, GBA, Pokemon Mini, Game.com, Gameking and GP32, and I also have the technology to develop for most of them.
I have a grand plan to port a single game, Cortex, to every format I can, but it is a very long range plan so I haven't got far. Choosing to do it in J2ME and then custom Pokemon Mini 8-bit Assembly was probably not the smartest way to portability.
I have also developed a game or two for PalmOS, and a few projects for the PC. The PC games are generally smaller projects or remakes, in GameMaker. I guess I just like working with simpler and more consistent systems. I have also worked on the Windows port of the DOS RPG creator, OHRRPGCE in FreeBasic (although I was originally intending to take it on to PalmOS, so it still hooks in to my handheld theme).
It's going to take me a while to build up my profile and add my games, since my home ADSL connection is being uncooperative. More soon.

Nothing to see here, move along.
