Introduce Yourself!

[Flack]

My name is Mark S. Hinds. I'm 46 years old. My birthday is March 24th, the day the PSP goes on sale. I told my wife (Danaleigh) that this was a sign that fate is trying to tell us something. Like, "buy hubby a PSP for his brithday". I don't think she fell for this. I might wind up having to buy my own.

Let me know if that ends up working for you. CGE falls on my birthday this year! :)

Ok, but I have a hunch I won't see a PSP on 3/24. My wife is the fiscally responsible one.

Haven't introduced myself yet so figure that I might as well right now.

Name: Dustin Schuler
Age: 23
Occupation: Student
Collecting Interests: Ps2 (largest collection with just over 260 games), NES, Dreamcast, SNES
How I got into gaming/collecting: My parents bought me an Atari 2600 for my first christmas (I was only 5 months at the time), and I've been gaming on since.

[Red Hedgehog]

Hello.

I'm 25 and currently living in Salt Lake City, UT.

I've always loved video/computer games, and wanted to head to the arcade every chance I get (I still do, though usually the Ms. Pac Man/Galaga machine is the only one that holds my interest). When I discovered MAME in college, I was in heaven, playing all those classic games I loved like Popeye, Mr. Do!, Tapper, Kangaroo, and Kicker.

After enying my friends' Colecovision and then Nintendo, my parents finally got me a Nintendo which I'm proud to say I still have (had to replace the pin connector, of course). That Nintendo made me the huge Ninja Gaiden and Dragon Warrior fanboy I am today. Besides an original Game Boy, that was the only system I had until recently. But I never stopped picking up NES games, delighting when KB Toys was selling them new at $5 and then when discovering Funcoland and finally eBay.

Just this summer I got my first new console - a PS2. It was between that or an X-Box (largely because PS2 could play Dragon Warrior VII while X-Box had the new Ninja Gaiden). And just recently I got a SNES. I'm slowly building up my libraries for both, but still have a list of about 20 games I'd still like for my NES (and usually as soon as one game leaves the list, I find another to replace it).

Anyway, I discovered this site a few months ago and finally decided to set up an account. Hello everyone!

I've been a long time video game fan. I don't know how I got started. It just sorta happened. I've been playing video games since 1982 (I'm 25 now. I was 2 years old when I started playing video games), and it's just something I love.

How did I find this place? One of the moderators also works here, strangely enough...

Favorite games definitely have a Nintendo slant - Mario 64, Paper Mario (Thousand Year Door), Zelda Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Banjo-Tooie, Atari Adventure, NHL Hockey for Sega Genesis.................

I mostly collect for Nintendo systems although I love the emulation scene and enjoy some of the rarer games although I don't own the consoles.

I worked at SGI during the development of the N64 and that probably made me the Nintendo fan that I am. The developers of the hardware were truly brilliant people and they were ahead of their time in many ways -- that system still provides hours of fun for my 3-year-old son. He especially likes it when I start the N64 emulator with Mario 64 and turn off the frame rate limiter so Mario runs faster than a gazelle!

[atari_wizard]

i consider myself a serious collector. i just recently started collecting december 2003. i started collecting only for the atari 2600, then i ventured toward the nes. i have a small, but nice collection. i only collect carts and manuals. often times if i see a complete game, i'll pick it up. i probably have 1500+ games(500+ atari 2600 & 600+ nes) at the time. i enjoy collecting CIB game consoles.

i come here all the time and use the online rarity guide. i recently purchased the vintage collectors guide and am very pleased with it. i've been told that this is a great gaming/collecting community, with many knowledgeable members.

I'm moving this post to the right place:

Hello! I'm Arthur Cruz from Brazil. There are any brazilian people in this forum?

I play video games since 1984 but I collect since 1999, sold systems and games and rebuy all after many years is very interesting and strange

I love systems of middle-year like famicom, sms, snes, genesis... and like newer systems like gamecube, xbox... Old games always are better. I do not systems of old-year like 2600, intellivision, oddyssey... I really like games with ending

I love import japanese games, better covers and more colectible than us games. I think that us games are for play and jp games are for collect

I do not real life, I'm always inside of video game (only joking to don't talking about my real life hahahah), but I'm always dealing for new items of my collection (this is thuth)

My english is bad, so don't joke me about this

I can't say more, my bad english is an big obstacle hahahah

Hello! I'm Arthur Cruz from Brazil. There are any brazilian people in this forum?



Welcome! When I first started collecting, I remember being pleasantly surprised by how many times Brazil kept coming up. For no particular reason, Brazil has always been one of my favorite nations even though I've never been there and haven't had the chance to meet many Brazilians (even though there are always plenty running up and down the streets of D.C. during the World Cup :). Anyway, I hope you enjoy spending time here; it's one of the best game forums on the web.

[SonicMegaDrive]

It's my first post here, so I'll introduce myself!

My name is SonicMegaDrive, age 24(as of 2004). I'm a huge Sega aficionado and a huge admierer of general classic gaming.

I call Maryland, USA my home and I've been a lurker at this site for many years, and finally decided to contribute.

I have 8 games that I call my 'favorites': Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, The Legend of Zelda, Contra, Gradius, Street Fighter 2, and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Pretty cliched favorites, I know, but those are the games the molded my gaming tastes throughout the years. Chances are if I'm playing a video game, one of these 8 games was a large inspiration for it.

I admit I do collect for a few systems. Pretty much any Sega system(Master System, Genesis, GameGear, Sega CD/32X, Saturn, Dreamcast...I even owned a PICO once. :hmm: ). But I also boast fairly nice collections for the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Gamecube, and PS2.

In real life, I'm an artist. Drawing is my first passion, along with animation(you know, cartoons). I'm very heavy into all forms of animation, be it CG, classic American, or even Japanese animation.

How did I begin collecting? Well, that's a good question. I guess at first I just wanted to have a nice, large library of games to choose from. I was very dissatisfied with the current state of gaming(This was around...I think 1998 or 1999), so I decided to embrace the older consoles. I started discovering a lot of old games that I had overlooked years ago, and eventually, unknowingly, I became a collector.

I hope to become a productive member of the community and to contribute any information I can.

[vroom048]

I'm mostly an Atari 2600 collector, that has some how turned into a video game collector in general. Mainly because I cant always find 2600 games so I started picking up other stuff etc...

I live outside Tallahassee FL, on Lake Talquin (great fishing, Sega and the real kind) I work in the Glass business (store fronts, shower enclosures, Mirrors ect.) but I've been putting off colledge for about 5 years, construction sucks. I'm 30 and was in the Navy for 6 years after high school, I worked on air-search RADAR and other electronic equiptment. I think I would like to become an architect meaby.

My favorite games are:
Inteligent Qube (PS1)
Ghost Recon (PS2)
GTA series
Missle command (2600)
Centipede (2600)
Tetris

I like this site, dont remember how i found it, just browsing I guess. Well thats all I guess.

[Trevor Belmont]

Okay, so like an idiot, I've whizzed through these forums and just realized one of these topics was at the top. So please forgive my tardiness in introducing myself.

My name's Nick and I'm from central Ohio. I've been into videogames since the Atari/NES days, and have been fairly steady in playing them throughout the years. I say fairly because there was a 2-3 year period in which I didn't play too much, sold my collection, and am now paying much more than I originally had to get my collection back. In other words, DON'T DO IT!

I love the PSX, Saturn, SNES, and Turbo Duo the most. My favorite types of games are RPGs, beat 'em ups, and, of course, Castlevania. I'm not so much a collector as I tend to get games that I will enjoy playing more often than not. I enjoy modern games but have found that the older ones mean much more to me. Thanks to some great members on here, I've been able to get back into gaming and plan on staying for a long time. I also love movies, music, and the Green Bay Packers.

That's pretty much all there is to me. Thanks for reading!

[Gamefaqs]

hi guys im steve. i pretty much go on gamefaqs.com but i heard this site is cool... sooooo....

im 38, love old games, and love bulletins board

[Grumple_Grommit]

Name: Stephanie
Age: 27
Location: Kansas City


and I, too, love classic games. First started playing Atari as a very small child, but the NES is the system that I played the most and love the best. I regret to say that I stopped playing any systems made after the NES because I didn't want to be bothered with learning how to play with a new controller.

My favorite NES game ever is Bubble Bobble. A pretty typical 'girl game', but I never tired of it and probably never will. Hence my handle. I'm also a big fan of Paperboy, Bump n' Jump, Tetris, and Dr. Mario. I have recently gotten into playing older systems such as Intellivision and Colecovision.

I am married to an avid classic game collector who referred me to this site. I am a contemporary history and material culture student, and I'm in the process of writing a paper about the early classic video game systems and those who played them. I don't think I have ever had so much fun writing a paper in my life!

It's nice meeting you all, and I think that I will learn a lot here.

[CullJeff]

Hi my name is Jeff, i am a supple 19 year old boy fom Texas. I primarily collect any games and/or game systems that have an enjoyment factor. When i'm not playing video games i am learning at college. Other than that i am a musician in the band Culls. Look for us to hit the scene sometime in early futures. If you like ultimate offention locate one of our compact disks when they arrive on store shelves. Just ask for the reservation slip. Thank You

Age: 24
Location: Tampa, FL

I have always been an avid gamer ever since my first atari. I then moved to the SMS (I used to live in France). Finally I got the NES and loved quite a few games however my true love was the SNES. That is the only one I kept throughout the years and play regularly. I tried to keep up with nintendo but they kinda dissapointed me lately. Anyways, I am also starting a website with my roomate from college that is dedicated to SMS, NES, SNES and Genesis...although i am biased with the SNES :D . I found this site while browsing around and it ROCKS! Well, thats about it. here are my fav games:

Secret of Mana, FFIV, FFVI, Tecmo Super Bowl, Dragon Warrior, Super Mario 2, MT's Punch Out and my new fav Starwars Battlefront.

Finally my most hated game:
Earthbound...not rare, not fun...just ebay garbage...

Thats about it I plan on being here and supporting Digital Press for as long as humanly possible. Game On!!

[Eldergod]

Hello World.

My name is Bryan and I hail from Tampa, Florida in the good ole' USA.

I love video games of all shapes, colors sizes, and years. I'm mainly a calssic gamer. Most of my favorites predate '95. That may not qualify as "classic" to some of you...

Some of my favorites are the original Legend of Zelda, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, and Soul Blazer.

[Amano]

Hey there! The name's Samantha, or Sam for short. "Hey you" works, too. Soon to be 20 years.

I'm hail from western Nevada, where the only thing interesting is actually having access to the Internet. Heh. I stumbled onto DigitalPress.com just randomly. Can't really remember what I was doing. That was two hours ago. Oye.

My favorite games include: Guilty Gear X2, Secret of Mana, Gunstar Heroes, Final Fantasy VI, Katamari Damacy, and EarthBound.

I like all sorts of games, but generally rpgs, 2D fighting, racing, and puzzle games are my bag.

As far as my collecting habits, I'm on a quest to own every console RPG. So far, my main systems I own RPGs for would be GBA, PS2, PS1, and SNES. It's slow going, considering my limited funds. I'll probably get around to updating my very old game collection profile in a week or something like that. Busy with work and all.

Real life consists of work for me. It isn't half bad, though, because I'm 2nd in command at a game store. I play approximately 30% of the games I buy, and I maintain a long-distance relation with my squeeze. It's exhausing. I'm also looking into taking night classes at our local community college.

Started gaming back when I was 2. I played with my old man on his Intellivision. Then the NES came along, and I suppose that hooked me. And I just started to seriously collect in the last year. The sick thing is that I'm looking for all of the RPGs I sold maybe 2 years ago. They're all really expensive now, too. *sigh* Whoever said, "Ignorance is bliss" ought to be shot. Ignorance bites you in the rear later. ¬ ¬'

Anyways, nice to meet you all!!

Anything else of interest? - Not really. Erm, these forums, and the Room Of Doom pages, inspired me to remodel my room this week. I took off the six sliding doors that hid my shelving before moving and reorganizing everything. It looks superb. Mess is not an option!

[PentiumMMX]

...After realising I have been on here for a little over a year and did not intruduse my self, I will now do so!

I am PentiumMMX, you can call me "Fred the Spanyard" if you want, I don't feel like saying where I live.

I discovered the fourms when I was looking for a decent Old-Skool Gaming fourm that was not loaded with "Nintendo 64 suck0rxxx! NES pwns!!11!11!", "ColecoVision rock0rz! I wanna' overclock it and play Halo!", and "GRRR! Nintendo Fanboy SMASH!"

I got into gaming when I got an N64, and the first system I played was an Atari 2600. I started collecting in 2003, starting with NES, Game Boy, and N64.

A few of my favorate games are "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night", "Mega Man 5", "Super Mario 64", "Mega Man X4", "Final Fantasy 7", "Ninja Gaiden", and "Zelda: Link's Awakening".

Outside of playing games, I enjoy watching anime and cartoons ("Xaolin Shodown" and "Mega Man: NT Warrior" are the best), and wacking stiff with a stick while shouting "TWO-MAGIC!".

[PammyK]

I am an old school collector from Arizona who has been out of the hobby for a while. I used to be very active back in the early-mid '90's on #RGVC. You know what I mean..can't drive anywhere without hitting the thrift stores on the way. Once you get there you are able to walk in and with just a glance at the shelf know whether anyone else has been there or new stuff has been added. "My name is Pam and I was a collecting addict." Yes, I even think I failed a course or two as a result of the need to hit the Value Village on the other side of town every Wednesday afternoon. You can Google my old email pammyk@primenet.com on Google groups to verify my identity.

It is now one child and one divorce later and I have dusted off my collection and am going to be selling it all. As much as I hate to do this (hmm..first born vs. Cubicolor) I don't think keeping it in storage is proper and need to pass on the joy.

I am trying to catalog as I go since I have multiple systems and lots of boxes of hardware, games, etc. I have listed my current auctions in the marketplace forum and if anyone wants to keep tabs on what I have found in the depths of the storage shed thus far I have current lists online at http://www.geocities.com/pammyk600/ which will be updated frequently.

- Where you live: Gilbert, AZ
- How you found the forums: no brainer there
- What your favorite games are: 2600 Adventure and Stampede, coin-op Amidar
- What systems you collect for: 2600 is the main love but all the other systems are hard to pass up on in the wild.
- What you do in "real life": former computer geek turned mom.

Happy Gaming!
Pam

[Flack]

Don't get rid of everything Pam! My 3 year old son is a whiz at Super Mario Bros and just started playing Warlords the other day. Never underestimate the power of the retro genes.

Welcome aboard, and we hope you stick around even after your collection is gone!

[segagamer]

I've also been coming here for a while, but just now decided to post.

-Who you are - Alex.. .38 years old Asian
- Where you live - Streamwood, IL, USA (nw suburb of Chicago)
- How you found the forums - Cannot remember how I found this site, but maybe it was in my quest for collecting classic games for systems such as Odyssey 2, Atari 5200, etc.
- What your favorite games are - I think I prefer any Sega arcade titles ported to the various home systems such as OutRun, After Burner, Virtua Racing, etc.
- What systems you collect for - I collect games that I have interest in for Odyssey 2, Atari 5200, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (JP), Sega Game Gear, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Sega Saturn (US, JP), Sega Dreamcast (US, JP), TurboGrafx-16, Super NES, Playstation 2, Xbox/GBA/PSP (my brother's systems)
- What you do in "real life" - Currently, I work at Motorola as product planning analyst, which involves making sure we have enough parts and accessories for 2-way radios for customer warranty/support period (similar to automotive parts being available when your car needs service).

BTW, if there are any cool gamers out there in my area, it would be neat to hang out and play some games.

Favorite Games - Big Fan of Old Sega Arcade Stuff, also a good 2D action Adventure. Im Into a lot.

Systems I Collect For - Master System, SNES, Genesis, NGPC, NES, Virtual Boy, Oddyssey^2, Dreamcast.

How I started Collecting - An uncle of mine gave me his old oddyssey 2 games and system after I showed him how to hook it up, he gave me the system and games which totalled to about every game except about 6 or so, boxed.
After that Ive just been picking stuff up at random places, and Falling into deals.

In Real Life I work as a Concierge at a surprisingly high-end Assisted Living Community, nice job, I get paid to help old people, and play my ngpc when its slow (about 2/3 of the time)

Anyone know the person thats "the" expert on the oddyssey^2? Id like to get those last few games.

[Murdoc]

My name is Raymond, I am a 17 year old student in 11th grade and live in East Stroudsburg, PA. Well I found this place when I was just randomly browsing Game sites via goolge search. I love anything related to Video Games more Specifically Sega and Sonic. Some of my favorite games in no particular order: Sonic 1, 2, and 3, Asteroids, Missile Command, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Tetris, Super Mario Brothers, Mortal Kombat 2, Soul Caliber, Frogger, Galaga, Space Invaders, GTA 2, 3, Vice, SA. Now own the collecting side of things Ill take anything I can get for any system even if I don't have it. I started getting into Video games with my first Game boy in 1990 I was 3 at the time and I loved it, I moved up to my Mom and Dads NES 1991 and The same time I got a Sears Atari 2600 off my Aunt with it came 160 Games. Then in 1993 When I got my Sega Geniuses and I immediately fell in love with Sega and Sonic. I had quite a nice collection by the Time the PlayStation and N64 came out Unfortunately my mom decided I didn't need all my other game stuff and tossed it on me I really had no say in it being only 9 at the time. The only thing that survived that was my Gameboy witch I still have now. So as time passed I got more and more into gaming and started re buying The systems I use to have and the ones I missed out on. Also I like to add anything I buy is going to get played I see no point in dropping a bunch of cash on something and not use it for what its meant to be used for. I got a small game room I set up behind my bedroom I went out and got a Nice 32" Flattube Toshiba TV for it about 3 Weeks ago my games have never looked better. I have all my systems hooked up to it and there easy to access, also I have a late 70's couch I got for free of my grandma back there its the most comfy thing I ever sat in perfect for them long hour gaming sessions. Well I guess that's it for now please pardon my Grammar and and Sentence structure I am very tiered and my have screwed it up a bit. All thats left to say is see you guys around the boards.

[Moon Patrol]

I suppose I should introduce myself before I try to make any deals on the buying and selling forum :-P My names Josh, and im from southwestern Virginia, its not a fun place to live, but luckily no one knows the value of older game systems to someone like me! I ran across these boards one day just looking for random articles about the Sega Genesis and read the Extended Play article, which was pretty cool. I am currently collecting for my Sega Genesis, which I have had since 1993 :-D I also collect (slowly) for my Master System. I have an NES, but what's the fun in collecting for it, if everyone else is, besides, I already have like 80 games for it, and that was just from when I was little! You could say im a crack baby when it comes to the 8-bit/16-bit age though.

- Who you are
Vance. A 21 year old that should be studying for finals.
- Where you live
Well, when I'm at school I'm in Pullman, WA (about 8 months of the year for the last 3)
Home (where I go when I'm not in Pullman) is in Prosser, WA
(eastern side of Washington State, a better reference is that Prosser is about 30-50 miles West of the Hanford Site)
- How you found the forums
I can't really remember. I saw the DP stuff and when browsing the Saturn games that one can listen in a CD player decided I wanted to add 2 games I didn't see.
- What your favorite games are
Oh, tough one. Favorite seems to always change depending on what system I've played recently. I will have to say Super Mario Land for the GB is one that stands out. As for other favorites, I dunno.
- What systems you collect for [I'll break it down by maker]
NES, SNES, N64, GCN, GB, GBA
Genesis, Saturn, DC, GG
Playstation, Playstation 2
XBox
Although I'm working more on the older systems at the moment. These are just systems I own and have games for at the moment
- What you do in "real life"
College Student(attempting to major in Electrical Engineering), and computer tech for the on campus student computing services (they are the helpdesk for undergrad students, run some general purpose labs, clean computers of viruses and worms when people get their connection turned off).
Not much else real life stuff.
- Any other interesting facts, like how you began collecting, etc.
I think my collecting just grew on the fact that anytime I was in the local video game store I wanted to be able to rent anything in there without having to shell out to rent a system as well. I don't think it was an initial goal to collect games, it was more to get the systems to play them. Although in the last few years the video rental store was just become horible, so I find myself buying more games. Plus I'm starting to want some of the systems that the rental place never had(like the Saturn, or any handhelds).

If anybody wants to know why "Swatty," it was left over from a high school class when I was "swat01." SWAT stood for something like "Students With an Aptitude/Attitude for Technology." The administration realized some students knew more than they did on computer stuff, so they got the students to help.

Great place here, I hope I can gather and contribute useful information.

[purelunatic]

Hey all.
My name is Dion Hicks, I'm 21 and have been playing games for 17 of those years. I live in Newfoundland Canada, and no I don't live in an Igloo or ride a dogsled. I'm a university student studying computer engineering and one day hope to become a game programmer myself. I mainly enjoy RPG's but I sometimes play FPS and fighting stye games, with Capcom games being my favorite. I own around 200 games, with the majority being Playstation and NES. My favorite games have to be Star Ocean 2, Xenogears and Final Fantasy 3. If you haven't played these RPG's yet, do so now. Hopefully I'll be able to pick some new games up here to add to my collection.

I've been into video games my entire life, but I just started collecting in the last year. When I first started collecting, I had a Gamecube, Playstation 2, XBox, and SNES, plus about 50 or 60 games total. I now have 18 systems I'm collecting for, and a little over 200 games between all of them.

[euronymous]

Hi my names Ell and I'm from Cleveland,OH. I found this site from a forum I go to called Sega Dreams. I have too amny favorite games to list but my all time favorite is Zelda A link to the Past. I collect for the NES, Genesis, SNES, PS1,PS2,Saturn,N64, Turbo Duo, Neo Geo AES and handhelds. I've been collecting since the 8 bit days and haven't looked back. My dad got me into collecting.

[jcrouse]

Jerry McKenzie turned me on to the site after a Virtual Boy game purchase. I'm a computer geek and an IT Manager for a living. Most of my background is on the emulation side of retro gaming. You know, those nuts that build their own cabinets. :) I have three. You can see two of them here: http://home.comcast.net/~cpviewer . My full size upright is not pictured. It's the one I spend most of my time working on. I have about 50 platforms running on it. Everything from the original odyssey up to the PSX, 3DO and Dreamcast. I won't talk much about roms but I have most every one. I run a front end called MameWAH and am a moderator of the ArcadeOS/MameWAH forum at Mameworld. I spend most of my time writing small application and designing graphics for the emulation community. I sure wish it wasn't generally a free contribution community. I'd be rich. :)

I also spend a lot of time on a PC gaming. We have a clan (a group of OLD (40+) college friends) that use a program called Ventrilo (voice over IP) and talk for free over the internet while we play. Our favorite game is America's Army.

As far as consoles and collecting is concerned I'm a n00b. Actually I bought my first console about a month ago because I needed a N64 controller and it was bundled. Since then I have picked up a Virtual Boy (or 2 or 3) and am starting to collect the games. I like the technology and uniqueness of the system. Oh, I forgot about the Vectrex I have in the original box and 13 original boxed games, duh.

Well that's about it for me.

Take care,
John

[Kuros]

The name is Kuros. I've been a lurker here and I sometimes use the rarity list to check out a few things. Drummy turned me on to the forums, which I never really checked out. I've been playing video games since I was 3, my brother got an NES for his 13th and I played the system more than he did. :)

I play and collect, up to 419 games so far.
http://users.ign.com/collection/Kuros777

Latest thing I got was a Sega Nomad with 14 games, rechargeable pack, aaa pack, case, ac adapter, car charger and an extra controller. Working at a Gamestop has it's advantages. :D

[segagamer4life]

Hello, my name is Gary, I have been lurking, around here for about 2 years now, I joined the forums, last year, but didn't post alot. I am back now with a vengence...lol. I have been a game player all my life, but I have been collecting, for over 3 years now. I currently have all systems, from the sms and up. I enjoy gaming as do all of you, and I look forward to having fun with y'all.

[Veepa]

Hello...
I'm new to these parts.. The name's Nick J. Phillips.. and I seem to enjoy old video games.. along with old music and movies.. I don't know why.. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the things I'll never experience again. I'm 18 years old.. I've got plenty of classic systems.. but I share something special with my Sega Genesis.. even though the sound is awful. But I enjoy all my systems equally. I love the show, "Rocko's Modern Life", but I hate the God awful attempt at a video game... That's all for now.

[itatton]

I'm Tatton and I'm from Columbus Ohio. I typically slave away in various IT and retail jobs, but I enjoy frequenting the various game stores in town and I'm an avid collector.

My favorite consoles are the Saturn, Turbo Grafx/Duo/PC-FX, and Neo Geo (in no particular order). I started collection back in 1999 when my girlfriend at the time got Magic Knight Rayearth US for Christmas and I realized I needed a Saturn so I could play it too. It all kinda snowballed from there.

I'm currently at 1864 games and I'm creeping toward my goal of 2000 by the end of the year. My systems vary from an original Odyssey up to Xbox/PS2/Cube. I'm a big fan of fighting games and role playing games, though I'll pick up just about any import I can find that wasn't released in the states.

I think that about sums it up. If anyone's interested, my collection can be viewed at http://users.ign.com/collection/darkizet

I look forward to posting and chatting with you guys!

[Streetball 21]

Whats up fellas? I'm Steve, I'm 27 years and live in San Antonio, TX and I've been looking at the site for a couple of months now. I decided to sign up when i saw how many hardcore gamers are around here. Most of my friends in town are casual gamers so it's kinda hard to talk retro gaming with some of them.

I like all kinds of video games, but my favorite franchise is the Mario series. I also enjoy sports games as well. For the past year, I have been collecting all kinds of games for all my systems. I own a NES, Game Boy, Super NIntendo, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, PS2, XBox, Dreamcast, and I'm anxiously waiting for Nintendo Revolution to arrive. I've been going to flea markets, pawn shops, and thrift stores trying to find any kinds of older games, especially Nintendo 64 games and Dreamcast.

My other hobbies are playing basketball here in town just about everyday, and spending time with the family, and also rearranging my game room everyday. Hope to talk gaming with every one soon, Laters!!

[Eb69]

Danny

Found the place by being sent here by a fellow member at another forum on a quest for information.

Favorite games would have to be Zelda series, Shining Force, Mega Man, and Suikoden.

I collect for pretty much any system I can get my hands on, although my collection is not that large.

I do auto glass and upholstery mostly.

I started gaming and collecting when I was a little kid. A friend of my fathers and my neighbor had a NES and I became hooked from the first moment of playtime. As for actually collecting, I find it hard to let go of any game I buy. Unfortunately neccesity sometimes demands it.

[<<IronBuddha>>]

Hello.....
I was looking for a forum that talks about old games and came acroos this site. Looks really good compared to the other sites. I'm 25 and in the past few months I missed the games I grew up with so I've started collecting, so far I have a nes with 32 games, snes with 20 games and a genesis with 23 games. I'll be pretty active I'm really liking this site.

[phonox]

Heya guys, Mike here n just thought I'd hop on here and introduce myself. I started gaming with the Atari but never really got into em until I got addicted to the NES for a long time. I've owned probably ever single type of video game system ever released here n am still collecting. Lately I've been posting a few of my items that I just dont know why I have (helly empty game boxes/manuals and a bunch of games as well). A friend of mine showed me this board about a year and a half ago (maybe more) but I never really got on and checked it out but it is definitely a tight place :o

Out of curiousity ne one know what happened to the site videogamebible.com ? He used to post on there all the time he said but now it says it is closed till earlier this year. hmm ah well. talk to ya'll lata

[jdchess]

Hey guys. My name is Jason and I'm 27. I'm mainly a Nintendo fan. My collection is mostly NES and N64, but I have quite a few SNES and GCN games also. My ultimate goal is a totally complete NES cart collection (US releases at least). I plan to get all the N64 titles eventually also, but the NES is my main focus for now. I recently added another NES test cart to the collection (the control deck cart), so I'm only missing one now (the NTF2 cart). Needless to say, I've been pretty excited the past couple of days :D . I love the site and the message boards are awesome. I'm really looking forward to being part of the community here.

[Katsu]

I like templates, so let's go with this:

- Who you are
My name's Rob. I'd say more, but the sections below seem to be more appropriate for the type of stuff I'd usually put in this section.

- Where you live
I live in Round Rock, TX (suburb of Austin.) I live with my wife of 2 years and our baby girl of 3 months, Madison... oh yeah, and our stupid cat, Montana. :roll:

- How you found the forums
I think I was searching for a complete list of Dreamcast games a couple of years ago. I never really visited the forums though.

- What your favorite games are
Some of my favorites include (in no particular order): Final Fantasy 3 (SNES), Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting (Arcade), Herzog Zwei (Genesis), Quake III Arena (PC) and Super Puyo Puyo (SFC).

- What systems you collect for
Right now I'm focused mostly on 1990's US consoles. I pretty much have every single 1990's US console hooked up to 1 TV in my game room. At last count I had 980+ games for all systems. I also own 3 arcade cabinets (Killer Instinct, Neo Geo 4 slot, and SF2 Hyper Fighting.)

- What you do in "real life"
If you're referring to work. I work at IBM Austin. On Linux power server performance. I won't bore you. If you're referring to stuff that's not video games. I've been holding weekly low-stakes Texas Hold 'Em games at my house once a week for the past 18 months or so. I'm a big Spurs fan. I watch a minimal amount of TV (I only record Penn & Teller's: BS). I do like oddball/foreign/indy movies though. I golf once or twice a month. I used to skate(board), but I tore 2 ligaments in my right knee last year. The replaced my ACL in December, and it still doesn't feel healthy enough to return to the skate park.

- Any other interesting facts, like how you began collecting, etc.
Nothing too interesting. How does anybody start? You just kinda start wanting to play those kick ass games from the good ol' days, right?

I would like to add that if you live in the Austin area and you're into gaming, poker or art/indy/b movies, you should really contact me. I maintain an email list of about 50 like minded people in the area. We usually get together at least once a week. Good times.

[Sam]

I'm Sam, 23 years old and I grew up on the NES.

As a kid I was a rabid Nintendo fanboy but have mallowed and realise every system has games that are worth playing. I'm obsessed with games as I guess must be a common symptom here. I love to play, collect, talk, write and buy games - just wish I had more money to do this last one with.

I'm in New Zealand which is a PAL country but games are quite hard to get/pricey here a lot of the time. Been lurking here for months - look forward to contributing to some topics.

[EricB]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Eric , I'm 36 years young! Thats right, old people play video games too :P

when i was younger, I could not be beat when playing NES tecmo bowl, or blades of steel. I mastered every trick with those games back then :)

With sega genesis, I would gamble playing 94madden, It was a cool thing to do & a way to back up just how good you thought you were/are 8-)

In the Arcades
ive played asteroids over 12hrs straight on 1 quarter and my family members would back me up on that!

Hello,


I am SSJ3. I love anime and gaming, maybe thats why I am here, I am not really good at introductions. My friend Crush Crawfish recommend how great this site is and well, he was 110% correct.

Later :evil:
