Hello, I'm Dean Tersigni, the founder of the Video Game Music Preservation Foundation and avid listener of video game music. I've recorded over 280 game soundtracks for this site. My first gaming system was an Atari 2600, but the NES was where I earned my street cred. My favorite home console is the SNES. I never played much on the Genesis, but I am big into the DOS scene. I own a couple of fifth and sixth generations consoles like the N64, PS1, and Game Cube, but I never played them much when they were popular. I haven't played much of anything in the home console market since then. I've been a big DOS gamer since 1990, and slowly migrated to Windows games as it began to the dominate platform. I also have several hundred Steam games under my belt.
