Hey there! I’m Danielle (thegirlg33k).
I enjoy collecting, repairing, and modding all kinds of retro gaming systems, but my passion is for the unique and obscure. My most prized system is the Sharp x68000 ACE that I brought back to life and now have fully working along with a Roland MT-32 for that sweet, sweet MIDI sound. I also have other weird systems like the Casio Loopy, NEC PC-FX, MSX computers that interface with Laserdisc players, and a Pioneer Laseractive.
My other hobbies include pinball and making music. I stream repairs/mods, general gaming, and pinball on my Twitch channel so hopefully I’ll see you there.
