Finding the Megami Tensei franchise
A college student who found the Megami Tensei franchise through a SNES-rom library site. Having played and enjoyed SMT I and II, he moved on to proper purchases of Nocturne, DDS, and the PS2 Persona games. Later, after upgrading to a reasonable computer, he played Gemini's translation of Persona 2: Innocent Sin, which remains his favorite SMT game to this day. He is currently tearing his hair out concerning Belberith's infinite attack range (and is loving it).

Personal
I make freeware RPGs in my spare time; and yes, my earlier works did have a lot of "SMT is awsum! I'll maek more off those!!!" behind them. My games have taken more of their own flavor as of late, sure, but SMT definitely helped shape how my games are balanced, etc. For example, I tend to favor three-digit HP and SP totals, use level ranges from 1 to the late 80s, and so on. But, at least in my opinion, there are worse systems I could've been inspired by.

As for my offline life? I attend a community college, and am aiming at a two-year degree in computer information technology to make myself employable. I intend to eventually work in game design proper - actually designing games and writing up the design documents that programmers and artists use to direct their work - but that's a long way in the future.
