On this page, you'll find a list of all the devices and games I've had throughout my life. However, if you're expecting to see the top devices of the last few decades, I must disappoint you. No, I don't own a high-end PC, nor do I always have the latest, most exclusive smartphone. I've tried many devices, programs, and tools, and I use what works best for me.
As you can see from my Google Sites website, Google products have primarily prevailed when it comes to tools. I frequently use Google Sites, Sheets, Docs, Drive, and more. These products are a part of my daily software usage. I'm a big fan of Google, which is why my primary hardware also comes from them. I own a Google Pixel smartphone, use a Chromebook as my PC, and wear a Pixel Watch. My entire home is equipped with Google Smart Home technology.
With the integration of my Google account, all devices are synchronized and accessible from anywhere. I love it!
Even though I'm giving a lot of free advertising for Google here, I must point out that every software and hardware has its pros and cons — and that includes these products. Therefore, I recommend everyone to test everything and find what works best for their specific needs.
Below, you'll find a little nostalgic journey into the past with a list of all the devices I've owned throughout my life. Since I also played frequently during my childhood and youth, you'll find a list of all the games further down.
You might have played some of the same games I did. Special games that I've played intensely are marked with a star.
Feel free to explore!

All of our smartphones and computers in the household are Android and Chromebook devices, which also function as portable smart speakers. Since everything is connected through the same Google account, all Google services—such as Maps, Family, Contacts, Calendar, and more—are not only synchronized across smartphones and computers but also seamlessly integrated with the smart home system.
