HarroSIN
From Sonic Retro
<forumuser name="HarroSIN" /> HarroSIN is a male scener from New York. He is best known for his unhealthy fascination with his awesome hair, 80's music, and the Sega CD "classic", Night Trap.
The 90's
HarroSIN discovered the Sonic community upon logging onto the alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog newsgroup back in 1995 at a local library. Upon his family purchasing their first computer a year later, he had unrestricted access to Usenet. Under the guise of his AT&T WorldNet e-mail address, he had an "always lurk, never reply" demeanor.
The 00's
Never becoming a true fan of "Web 2.0," HarroSIN hardly had the motivation to visit Sonic-related websites and communities regularly. Occasional curiosity would arise at the peak of a new Sonic game announcement, but would immediately simmer after the first few reviews began to roll in. In 2005, he became slightly active in Sonic CulT, in which he would take the time to contribute elaborately, well-formatted new material to X-Cult.
Present Day
HarroSIN still remains semi-active in the Sonic community. Although not interested in web forum affairs, he enjoys the occasional company in IRC and Skype. He is currently employed as a systems engineer and programmer, and works as a part-time "actor".

- Night Trap (NTRAP32) - Multi-platform port of Night Trap for modern computing systems. An ongoing battle because he's a stickler for quality. Already decoded the Sega CD .SGA video compression, and is working on cracking the 32X version's stupid
vector-quantizationLZSS compression. Written in C with the SDL multimedia library for maximum portability.
