Christa Lee is the owner and operator of Sound Retro Co. Christa grew up as a PlayStation kid, and didn't get her hands on a Saturn until later, but she always found it (and SEGA) fascinating. When she got into console modding/repair, Christa made it a personal goal to learn more about the Saturn hardware, in the hope of coming up with a variety of troubleshooting/repair workflows for the console. It's her favorite console by a wide margin, and she finds its hardware design and software library endlessly compelling.

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.

Freshly thawed from the Canadian arctic, Peter_ loves his Saturn obsessively, playing it more than any other platform and finding joy in both bona fide Saturn classics as well as the more obscure titles available for the system. A NiGHTS enthusiast, he loves playing his games to the nth degree, and then writing about it. Rumor has it that he, too, is built using a multi-processor architecture, and that he still dials up to the internets using a 56kb modem. For Peter, it is, after all, still the 90s.
