Cerv3ro, also known as Fandu in some retro forums. Proud owner of Sega Saturn since 1996 and enthusiast of the 32-bit era. I decided to actively jump on the Sega Saturn scene over a decade ago. By that time when the Saturn scene was really small and all the important things used to happen for other retro systems, especially homebrew projects. I had fun talking and creating content like guides and reviews on some dedicated Saturn sites and overall, I'm proud to have contributed to helping fund some cancelled games for release to the public. Unfortunately the gods have not blessed me with programming skills. As a Saturn user, I especially remember with passion the years between 2008 and 2011, when a lot of wonderful things happened on the Saturn scene: translations, prototype releases and the latest Rockin'-B development contest (2007). Wonderful years with so many great and talented people that I met. Pleased to be a member of the SX community and happy to see how amazing projects are happening recently over the last four years with amazing people, newcomers and veteran members who together make this dream come true. Excited to see the new contest entries and fascinated by all those brave hearts members capable of lead with the architecture of the Sega Saturn.

Hi, I'm David Gámiz Jiménez. Happy dad. I am from Loja, a town in Granada, Andalusia, a large region in southern Spain. I am an Industrial Design Engineer. But mainly I define myself as a 3D artist, although I do not close anything on an artistic level, I really like everything. My relationship with the Sega Saturn really comes from my relationship with SEGA. About 12 years ago, my first SEGA Saturn fell into my hands, as well as the first one that came to my town from the first European batch of 1995. It was broken, I fixed it as best I could and this relationship did not stop growing. After playing and passing Panzer Dragon Saga and its previous installments. I was so crazy to see the quality that the machine really had. One day I decided to make an entry about PDS and its technical graphic milestones. And that resulted in an investigation of almost 3 years that ended a few months ago with 5 parts on my blog. Where I have been able to learn together with the generous community everything that made me curious and more. My relationship with the homebrew community started with the research for the posts itself. Finally seeing that few people, at that time, contributed to this great machine. Little by little I was participating and trying to contribute what I could. Currently I want, and am working on it, to make graphic content for the community. My great passion for 3D graphics and SEGA.
