- How you found the forums
Stumbled across them while beginning my actual "collecting"
- What your favorite games are
I love all sorts of games from the Atari 2600 through the Xbox 360, including almost every genre. If I find it fun (and even if I don't, which isn't that often), I play it.
- What systems you collect for
Currently, my biggest collections are for the PS1 and PS2 (not even from trying to collect, just games I've bought growing up), but am starting to collect NES, SNES, SMS, and Genesis games. My current consoles owned include:

Atari 2600
Atari 7800
TI-99/4A
Sega Master System
Nintendo NES
Super Nintendo
Sega Genesis
Sega CD
Playstation
Playstation 2
Playstation 3
Game Wave
Xbox 360
Nintendo Wii
Game Boy
Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Nintendo DS
and a gaming PC that I build or update every couple years

- What you do in "real life"
Right now I am a Cook, but am also going to school for computer networking/IT stuff
- Any other interesting facts, like how you began collecting, etc.
I am just starting to begin collecting older games, the majority of my collection is just games I bought new while growing up. I've never traded a game in or thrown any away, and even without trying to collect until now, I have amassed a decent collection of over 200 PS2 games, 150 PC, 100 PS1, and 35 or so Genesis games, not to mention about 130 games from Wii/Xbox 360/PS3. I also have at least a few games for the other consoles I own.

I'm Justin Brodack from Bedminster NJ and I'm 26.

I came across this site believe looking for reviews for older systems and also saw some great articles like the ones on rhythm games and psx shmups. Then I realized the store was in NJ and that I need to get myself to a Nava meeting.

I'm not really much of a collector and play the classics mostly with emulation. I have a wii, ps2, some ps1 games, and just ordered a dreamcast which I'm excited about. Also have a gp2x and I'm into homebrew scenes on consoles.

I love shmups though I'm probably one of the worst players that is a big fan of the genre. Always exciting to try a shmup I haven't tried before. Also love snk and neo geo. Turbografx 16 is also great and was thrilled when I got a chance to play splatterhouse on one a while back.
