Hey there! I just moderate the site.
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 main editor of the wiki's Editing guide.
I can sometimes be found on IRC, but the best way to contact me is via PM in the community section of the site (i.e. our forums).
