Hey there! I'm a former moderator for the wiki (from 2013 to 2018).
My main specialties are adding/maintaining old and obscure games, along with overhauling articles, and providing high-quality screenshots.
I'm also the creator and original main editor for the wiki's Editing guide. I also helped create the wiki's original Code of conduct and Moderation guidelines.
I can be found on the wiki's Discord server, but I can also be contacted via PM in the community section of the site (i.e. our forums).
I'm no longer as active as I used to be, but I may pop up time to time.
