Introduce Yourself!

[chrishicks]

hi everyone, chris here. I recently got into collecting systems that I used to own or never owned as a kid. I have been buying for around a year now. I think I have built myself a decent little collection in this time. I have been mainly trying to get systems complete in their original boxes. of course if I can get a good deal on an unboxed system that I want I won't pass it up. the other thing, I'm only getting the systems that I know I'll play at one time or another. no getting every system ever created for me - mainly because I just can't afford it.

I'll try to post a list of what I currently have if anyone is interested.

[Dji]

Hi everyone, I'm from Quebec. I'm 21 and I've been playing games since I was 4. I've had a lot of consoles since then (Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, GCN, GB, GBA, DS, SMS, Gen, Saturn, DC, GG, PS2, Xbox, TG16, 3DO). However, I've been having less and less fun with the vast majority of modern games, mostly because I especially like simple games (read: no need for twenty different buttons), I hate cutscenes (what I like to call "interpassivity") and I love fantasy / hate realism, find sprites charming / polygons bland, adore 2D/ despise 3D, like collecting huge cartridges and totally hate CD loading times. To this day the NES remains my favorite system of all time. Pretty convenient, since there are so many great, cheap games available seemingly everywhere. On the other end of the spectrum, I also own what I consider the mecca of video games, that is a Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet. Neo games are, on the contrary, expensive and hard to find, but just as great. This is fairly new to me, and discovering the Neo has been my greatest video game-related joy since the end of the Super NES. I'm stuck in an 8-to-16-bit vortex 95% of the time, and proud of it! However, I'm not totally grumpy yet. Some fairly recent games that I really like are Serious Sam, DDR, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Wario Ware, War of the Monsters, Ninja Five-0, and the Aki wrestling games on the N64 (especially No Mercy).

I've been lurking for quite some time, but I thought I would say "hi!"

[Hokkus]

Hi! I'm Mikko, 22, from Finland. I'm student, studying energy technology at the university. I spend my time playing video games and reading books. I usually read scifi novels or short horror stories.

I have been playing games since Christmas 1992. I wanted a NES for Christmas present, but I got Mega Drive II with Sonic 2 instead. Since then I have been Sega and Sonic fanboy. My favorite games are Ecco: The Tides of Time, Sonic 2, Nights, Super Mario Bros. and Tetris. I like all kinds of games, but I especially love platformers, adventure games and RPGs.

I have been collecting since last December. My collection is still pretty small, only about 150 games, but it's growing steadily. I primarily collect for Saturn and secondarily for Mega Drive, then for other Sega machines. I'm also interested in NES, SNES and PC-Engine, but at the moment I can't afford to collect for them.

[McBacon]

I got Mega Drive II with Sonic 2 instead. Since then I have been Sega and Sonic fanboy.

I primarily collect for Saturn and secondarily for Mega Drive, then for other Sega machines.

Its pretty cool how the first games you play stick with you, and plan out the types of video games you will like when you are older.

Welcome, everyone!

[VioLatoR]

Hey hey, my name is Logan O'Neill. I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I'm currently unemployed and extremely lazy, but I'm planning on possibly taking something computer related at the community college here in the near future.

A friend of mine has been telling me about this place, so I figured I'd check it out and see what its all about. I'm not really a collector, though I could see myself collecting sometime in the future. As far as console goes, I havent done much gaming in recent years, mostly PC gaming.

My favorite games would have to include just about every Final Fantasy game 7 and below, Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Soul Calibur.

[annie]

Hi, my name is Annie and I live in Maryland. A couple of co-workers have told me about this site. I don't know what videogame subject/thread I should ask this inso I ask it here. I never owned a handheld system. I was thinking of buying a Gameboy Advance, DS, or a PSP. Besides games(My fav game is a Bust-a-Move), what should I need to look for in handheld system?

[sadat]

Hi, new to the site. I've never posted on a forum like this but it seems like a nice friendly big-happy-family type of thing so why not?

Who you are / Where you live

26, London England

How you found the forums

Googlepoodle

What your favorite games are

2D shmups, and anything with NINTENDO written on it. Best games? Looking through the games I have, the desert island ones would be... Balloon Fight [Balloon Trip mode only though!], Super Mario Kart, Soul Calibur 2 [GCN], Outrun 2, New Zealand Story, Pac Man, Super Mario Land [GB], Power Stone 1, Advance Wars 1, ISS64, Metroid Fusion, Pikmin 1&2, Championship Manager in all its forms, Crazy Taxi [DC/GCN], Ridge Racer 4, Gradius V, Psyvariar Complete [PS2 PAL], Puzzle Bobble [ARC], Bangaioh [DC], Axelay... pretty big island!

What systems you collect for

Cheapest way to start off is by collecting current gen as it's released i reckon - so I've been amassing a 'cube collection while getting hold of older games that I like. Got all my old consoles - 26-odd at last count, and games to go with them, just not all mint/boxed/etc. Have been in the game for a while, just starting to take it seriously!

What you do in "real life"

Work far too hard - for a nice amount of £. Can't complain!

Any other interesting facts, like how you began collecting, etc.

Compulsive hoarder, who failed to grow out of computer games...

[TCZ]

Hi, i'm Paul from England - even though i've surfed here for a while - I have only just joined the forum.
Found the forums originally through a link exchange with an old website that I ran.

Grew up with the Commodore 64 as my main games machine after my Parents bought it for me as a birthday present!, then moved to the Amiga, and finally PS2 and PC.

Favourite games, Thing On A Spring!, LCP, and Bruce Lee (on C64), Settlers, Monkey Island (series) (on Amiga), Grand Theft Auto (on PS2/PC), Dark Forces (on PC) and loads of others I can't remember!

Collect mainly Commodore related stuff.

I Run the TCZ retro-gaming website for Commodore 64 :) , involved in various computer programming projects and work full time with computers.

Wrote a number of computer programs over the years - the only one that ever made money was Ilinios on the Amiga! Best 15 minutes of fame was a write up in a national daily paper about a tv related website site that I did... 8-)

Began collecting when I was about 12 - haven't stopped since! :embarrassed:

My website can be found at: http://www.the-commodore-zone.com

[Bromhidrosis]

Hi, I'm William from Tennessee. I've lurked on and off for a while, but just now decided to make an account. I found the site from a link on GameFAQs. Originally, my only interest here was the online rarity guide, but it's clear that has changed.

By system, my favorite games are:
Odyssey^2- Baseball
Vectrex- Mine Storm
NES- Life Force/Zanac/Castlevania
SMS- Bomber Raid
Genesis- Beyond Oasis/Castlevania: Bloodlines/SSF2
SNES- HyperZone
32X- Space Harrier
Saturn- Warcraft 2
PS1- FF Chronicles
Dreamcast- Looney Tunes: Space Race
PS2- Sega Classics Collection/Gradius V
GC- FF:CC/LoZ: Four Swords Adventures/RE4
Xbox- Morrowind GotY Ed.

PC- UT2004

GB- Kirby's Dreamland/MM2
Game Gear- Super Columns
GBC- Mario Tennis
GBA- Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
DS- Yoshi Touch & Go

Specifically, I collect 32X since there's so few US releases (and I've found almost a third in less than a year of looking,) but I'll buy anything that looks interesting, provided I have the money for it (and that doesn't only apply to videogames.)

In real life, I work for a school supply company. Boring work (specifically going from school to school,) hard labor, decent pay, and the occaisional pretty teacher (during the summer delivery period) sums it up. Not a full-time job, but definitely not bad for a high school student.

I really never considered myself a collector until I bought my 32X and even now that's all I consider myself a collector of, despite having almost 50 NES games, an Odyssey^2, a Vectrex (only set me back $50 if I might add,) and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy for the 32X (nowhere close to the rarest 32X game, but I knew how bad it was when I bought it.) I definitely wouldn't have as many games as I have if it weren't for the great deals a couple of local stores often have.

[TizzaTheScactus]

Hey, I'm Karl from Michigan. I was looking on eBay for rare Atari 2600 games when I found mention of this site, so I checked it out and here I am!

I have been a video gamer since I first played Joust, Pac-Man, and Burgertime in the arcade at about age 2. My favorite games are the original Megaman series for the NES, the first 3 US Final Fantasy releases (not counting Mystic Quest), Secret Of Mana, Chrono Trigger, the original 3 NES Castlevania titles, Super Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario World, Faxanadu, and too many others to list at the moment!

At present, I collect any games and consoles I can find:

-I have 5 NES consoles (4 original, 1 top loader) with over 230 games and a myriad of controllers and accessories;

-an Atari 2600 console with over 30 games;

-5 Genesis consoles (2 model one, 1 model one with "High Definition Graphics" around the cartridge portal, 2 model two) with over 80 games, about 20 controllers, and a bunch of other goodies;

-4 Super NES consoles (3 original, 1 new model) with tons of controllers, etc., and approximately 55-60 games;

-A Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance with over 25 games between them;

-A Nintendo 64 console with over 30 games and a few beat-up controllers;

-A Sega Dreamcast with about a dozen games, a few rough controllers, and a broken VMU;

-A PlayStation 1, original model, with over a dozen games, a couple of controllers, and several memory cards;

-A Gamecube with about 10 games, a few controllers, and a couple of memory cards.


Well, I work, and am going back to college in the fall (hopefully). When I'm not working, I shop around at thrift stores and eBay, looking for new games to add to my collection :D

[CrimsonNugget]

Hi, the Nugget has arrived. I live in the good ol' US of A in the state of Pennsylvania. I collect Sega systems and games for Sega systems. I am a die-hard Sega fan, and of course, my favorite video game character is Sonic. The one thing that would make my life complete is Sega making a second Game Gear, but we know that won't happen. :( Ah, so there you go, that is me.

[Sailorneorune]

Hi, my name is Kerri, but I am known as sailorneorune just about anywhere I post.
I joined to trade or sell some of my unwanted games for games I've been wanting for a while.
I hope that the rarity list does not rule all here but it probably does. Please be gentle as I am a college student who just wants some good games to pass the time between semesters.

Thank you all.

[d4rkmoon]

[p_w38]

Hey, Phil here from Texas. I've lurked this site for about three or so years now and I felt it was time I finally posted for a change. :p

I can't say I'm the biggest collector here, but my modest collection is growing day by day.

I'm into Castlevania, Metroid, and pretty much anything that has to do with Sega. Used to not be a Sega fan but in recent years I've found I really do like them. The Saturn and Genesis/32X are my favorite to collect for. DC is a close third.

I'll eventually post my room of doom once I get it in order. Until then I look forward to talking to you guys and gals. :)

[Geno Bomb]

Hi. I'm Geno Bomb and I think that the SNES was the best system ever. My favorite game on it is Super Mario RPG, which is what I got my name from, but I enjoy all of the big RPG's like FF3/6 and Secret of Mana.

[VG_Maniac]

Hey, everyone. I'm VG_Maniac...also known as Aaron. I'm 22 years old, and live in Washington state. I sill live at home (doesn't bother me), work part-time, and go to school part-time. I have been playing games since the original Super Mario Bros.... and that's basically my whole life. I grew up on the NES, then the SNES and so on. Even though I've been gaming for 18+ years...I didn't really start getting serious about collecting until a couple of years ago. My collection is pretty decent sized...but nowhere near as impressive as some of the crazy collections I've seen on this site. I'll probably post pictures of my "Bedroom of Doom" once my collection grows a little bit more.

The systems that I own are:

Intellivision
Atari 2600
Atari 7800
NES
Game Boy
Super NES
Virtual Boy
Nintendo 64
Game Boy Advance
GameCube
Genesis
Saturn
Dreamcast
Playstation
PS2

As for my favorite game of all time...probably a tie between Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
My favorite console of all time is the Super NES.

[evil_genius]

Hi, my name is Dan. And I work in a button factory. I collect complete NES and Genesis games.

[cityside75]

Hi I'm Jim, aka cityside75. I've been a longtime lurker and occasional poster, and figured it was about time I posted here.

I'm 34 years old, so I've been around just about since the beginning. My first non-pong system was an Intellivision in 1980, which my parents bought for the family for xmas. I still have that original system and an Intellivision 2, along with an NES, SNES, N64, PSX, Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, and PS2. I've also been a long time computer gamer - I have a C64, C128, and a bunch of PC games. Oh yeah, I also have a GBA and an Atari Lynx.

Some of my all time favorite games are:
Starfox - SNES
Super Mario Series (8 & 16-bit)
Rez - DC
Doom - PC
GTA 3 and beyond
Half-Life series
Robotron - Arcade
Samurai Shodown 2 - Arcade
Mortal Kombat 2 - Arcade

But my first love was always the arcades of my youth, therefore my current favorite toy is my HotRod SE and my complete MAME collection. It's been a hit with everyone else too.

Unfortunately I don't get nearly enough time to play the games anymore, as I am married with two children and I am attempting to get a new business off the ground. My company, New Perspective Data Solutions focuses on Geo-demographic analysis.

I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and a diehard Cubs fan, and I love DP - it's one of the few websites that I try to check out for at least a few minutes every day.

Keep up the good work everyone!

[fpstream]

Hi, I'm fpstream, Humanoid introduced me to the website. Don't have much old systems, just Oddsyey 2, Genesis, Atari 2600, and that's all. Thanks.

Howdy.. new to these parts..

Game-wise, I don't play anymore. However, I do vividly remember such games as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the first ones and the other arcade-style ones), Tetris, Legend of Zelda, Duck Hunt. Ah, memories. :)

Originally came here for the arcade, but saw I have to get these points to get into the arcade. LOL Guess I'll have to post a bit.

[weredog]

Hi, I'm weredog. I'm not really a collector per say but I've been gaming since I was about six.I started way back with the atari 2600.I remember going to the roller rink and spending more time in the arcade than actually skating.

Favorite games include almost any action RPG, Final Fight, Konami's TMNT and Simpsons games, Kangaroo, Jungle Hunt, Atari ET ( yes, you read right ), River City Ransom and Killer instinct.

Hi I'm new to this board so I'll introduce myself. My name is David and I'm from Shaker Heights, OH. I have been into video games since I was little. My first system was the atari 7800. I enjoy classic video games as much as I do the new ones. I am still really into Nintendo and have been working to refurbish my old system and games so that they work again. I am starting to collect more classic games now in addition to the ones that I previous owned. I have started a website listing games that I am selling the URL is www.angelfire.com/games6/davidsclassicgames. Check it out and let me know what you think.

[Famicoman]

Hi, I'm Famicoman. I first came into contact with DP from AtariAge. I was interested in, and bought the collectors guide, and the advanced guide a few months later, when it came out. I recently thought I should cover all bases, and become a member here too.

[Samelson]

Hello. My name is Steven. I currently live in Illnois. I have lived here for about 8 or 9 years. I grew up in Parkridge, Illnois. Great place. My buddy Uzi 9mm mention this site to me. I never really get into "Classic Gaming" but once he showed it to me. I was blowed away. This site is truely AMAZING. I got some favorite games. Halo2 of course, MLB 2k5, NBA 2k5, and plenty more I cant remember at the moment. I own Xbox (2). My first one broke so I gave it to my older brother whos 20. Then I got a new one for this last Christmas. I also have Gamecube, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Sega,Dreamcast and a bunch others. I dont have a job right now. But I hope to get one in the next year or so. I'm a Freshman this year. Cary Grove Highschool is where I go. I got into gaming. Hmm, I dont remember off hand. But It was probably my brother who I always used to watch. I started off with the old old systems. Then when I got into gaming more I relized it was a bunch of fun. Then I got a Nintendo Gamecube. Then I got a Xbox. I was amazed how sick the system is. Im looking forward to the Xbox 360. Well, I hope you all good people had a good time reading this long write up. I'm looking forward to be posting and asking stuff or helping on this wonderful site. See you guys around.

[RetroYoungen]

Wow. Over 2200 posts and I don't think I did this one! If I did it's probably somewhere in the middle, and honestly I don't want to go through every post to look for mine.

So just to be sure, I'll do it here.

I'm the RetroYoungen, a.k.a. Kevin S., and I've from Vacaville, CA (a half-hour from Sacramento and about an hour from San Francisco). I've lived in CA my entire life, and I've loved most of it. I just turned 21 this year (August 6th to be exact). I've been playing video games since I was 2 at Christmas of 1986 on an NES (I was Luigi, so I love the little greenie probably more than his brother).

I collect for pretty much every console I can, 18 in total (though hopefully that number will go up after CGE this year). I have about 660 games at this point but I need to go over them all to make sure I've counted every one into my computer.

I'm an English major at the local community college, almost ready to transfer to Sac State. At this point in my life, I want to become a teacher at the college level. I've written one novel, plenty of poems (and not just "angsty" poems), short stories... I just like to write.

And I write reviews in my blog on DP here, so if you want to read any reviews of mine go ahead and check it out. :)

[SWORD OF POWER]

i like nintendo stuff....... and rpgs........and swords. i'm a zelda fan and final fantasy, but i also like crazy japanese games.... i'm a babe magnet and still a nerd... :D i'm in high school now. i like pets. i don't like cheese very much. but i love SWORDS!!! :D 8-)

[EricDeLee]

Just thought I would say 'hello' being that I am a newbie here.

I learned about this site through Atariage.com I have been a member at AtariAge for a long time now. I was out of the 'collecting market' for a bit there because of a divorce but I thik I'm making a comeback now. I have sold a lot of my extra stuff lately... but I stil have my main collection together.

I collect for the three systems:

1. Atari 2600 (300 plus games + @ 100 games for trade)
2. Atari Lynx (63 unique games)***
3. Vectrex (8 games)

*** Atari Lynx.... Recently made a mistake and sold 11 sealed games that I forgot I didn't have doubles of. I am kicking myself for that. I only needed a few ridged carts and clat carts from completing my commercially released set.

I have other systems as well: PS2, PSOne, Dreamcast and a few others. I think for the most part I will be collecting ONLY handheld stuff in the future (Lynx, Turbo Grafix Express, Nomad, etc.). I will keep my current stuff, but will not get anymore 'consoles' beyond the next-generation consoles.

The Nomad is a wonderful system. There are a lot of good games for that system, so I regret selling it. The TG Express... well... I know nothing about Turbo Grafix stuff... but I think it is interesting, so eventually I'll dive into that market. I also liked the Sega Game Gear... but I'm not sure if I will collect for it again.

At one time I had something like 12 Atari Lynx systems and over 150 Lynx titles. Not to mention all of the extra stuff (manuals, pouches, carrying case, ac adaptors, com-lynx cables, etc). But I am basically down to what I have for my collection now and that is it. I still have four or five systems... so i may sell those off. Who knows. Interested? Shoot me a PM or something.

Well... that is it for me. My GF's mother used to work in an Atari assembly plant at one time. Used to bring home games all of the time from work... (a lot of Activision titles). She is digging those out for me and I'm anxious to see the results. They won't be for sell... but if need be and if by chance I have loaners or prototypes... I'll get them dumped to see if they are anything new.

Take care....

[DonMarco]

Hey there all. Name's Marco or DM, depending on when you met me. If you've met me. Wait.

I'm registered and now lurking, waiting for more strategy guide threads. It's the Versus thread here (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27559) that brought me here. Using it, I was able to get all the volume numbers without having to wait until I bought the guide or it popped up on ebay. I've got 36 guides now, and looking to finish up the collection soon. Before Thanksgiving, I hope. Money's a bit tight now. I'm thinking of selling off my Nintendo Powers to raise funds. Not too sure, though.

Game and system wise, I'm pretty good. Everything's in boxes now, so no pictures or lists. I find lists to be pretty boring anyway. I'll take some pictures when I get a free weekend or two.

I'm a diehard NGPC player, DC junkie and Landstalker master. I've recently started and forgotten about a website dedicated to my apathy for video games in general. I really should write more for it, but I'm a chronic procrastinator.

[cyberfluxor]

Hello, the name's Matt and I'm from Chesapeake, VA.

People who aren't familiar with the city of Chesapeake, it's near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and it's better known neighboring cities are Virginia Beach (East) and Norfolk (North). I live 90 minutes from the outterbanks North Carolina home of Kittyhawk and Nags Head.

I came accross the forums last year when looking around for video game collections to see what others had, but didn't decide at that time to join. Recently I left a few on-line communities (Like myspace) flooded with youth and ignorance, so looking for a new place to join I fell back upon here. Reviewing what this community had to offer with the wealth of information I was suckered right in.

Generally I collect and play mainstream consules and computer games but enjoy getting out to the classic arcade joints downtown and at the beach on the weekends. My favorite system would be the SNES because I have more of my favorite games on there and it's easy to find new games to add to my collection for it. Generally I will play any type of game but there's times where you just have to play a RPG or FPS (Whether it's replay or continuing where you left off).

In "real life" (AKA Reality) I'm a full time student at Old Dominion University (Best known for their Basketball Team the Lady Monarchs and science research) and working on degrees in Math, Electrical Computer Engineering, and Computer Science. Eventually I will transfer to Virginia Tech for my Masters (Go Hookies!). While this long process of learning is going on, I work part time at a cable company as a telemarketer (Of all things) and in my spare time work on cars, computers, go out, and program.

In middle and high school I wrote several dozen games and applications for the TI calculators and PC that were popular by other classmates. Some games were clones like Pac-man, Mine Sweeper, Snake, and a casino game with a few original slot machines, cards, and table betting games that kept track of several savable accounts. My biggest hit was an adventure platform consisting of 29 puzzle maze levels that I ported to the TI-82. Even though I haven't made games recently, I still place ideas on paper for later down the road developements.

My first game system was a Sega Master System back in '91 and played the hell out of it. Growing up with just one game system and a few games, everyone else was always getting newer systems and games. This outcry for my own archive finally happened when I got my first job, buying anything familiar or adventurous I could at low prices. Within 2 years I collected over 400 games on 13 different systems and continue to do so.

[Vixenkit]

Hello everyone,

My name is Loren and I currently live in Sunnyvale, CA. Kind of ironic that I love video games so much, and one of the founding fathers of video gamedom began here: Atari. And oddy enough, Atari has resurfaced from the ashes... In Sunnyvale, no less. Used to be Infogrames, now Atari. The irony is so thick you can taste it!

Anyway, I discovered video games when I was about five years old or so. I saw the arcade game 'Destruction Derby' for the first time. It was set in an area of a department store that was rasied just one step above the floor and was quite at home among its older brothers and sisters, the pinball machines. There were a few other arcade games there, but this one caught my eye.

Even though the graphics back then pale in comparison to the eye-catching hyper-real style of today, the blocky caricatures of race cars duelling head-to-head in a race for survival to see who could get the most points before the time ran out was so innovative at the time, a child could not say much more than, 'Wow! Can I play?'. Kind of like how games draw our attention nowadays. ^_^

The designers knew just how to draw a person in when they played. A rumble feature that started when the game stole your quarter gave you the feel of a powerful race car engine purring excitedly, like a wild animal just barely held in check, and it felt so good against your hands that you would step full on to the acelerator and scream around the surface of the arena after your prey, completely lost to the outside world until sadly, the game ended seemingly as suddenly as it began.

Then, you would take a few deep breaths, come back to reality, then want it again, and again! Wow... So yeah, that was the beginning.

Two years later, my brother and I discovered the Atari 2600 at a friends' house. You could not keep us away from anything with a joystick for very long after that. It was nearly ten years before I actually owned my first Atari 2600. Found it at a garage sale for $5.00. It was the first console I owned. Managed a pretty extensive collection before I lost everything.

Moving forward, I met the most wonderful person in my life ten years ago, and of all things, they encourage my gaming habit. Even to the point where I had to say 'Whoah! Okay, I think I have too many games.' (I have a lot, and I am not sure if I will every play any to an extent until I am retired).

I have no favorite system as I enjoy the features of each console for their uniqueness. When I collect a game that was released on multiple platforms, I usually go with the one that looks the prettiest, or end up getting copies for each system.

What I do... Well, I could tell you but I would have to eliminate you. j/k of course, but I really cannot talk about it. However, in my spare time I like to design graphics with photoshop, play around with physical things I have drawn then scanned, make improvements. Some day I hope to be self-sufficient in that regard. ^_^ I like to write short stories, play around with HTML, sometimes offer my services as a day care provider or babysitter, create storyboards, make people laugh (but I am not a comedian), learn Japanese, collect rare and hard-to-find laserdiscs, and that is just a little bit. ^_^

Soon I should be posting the gaming stuff I have in the appropriate forum, and I have some stuff to sell too. If you wish to contact me, just PM me. ^_^

[Holdemgod]

My name is Tony and I'm from Topeka, Kansas. I like collecting games and owning people in poker.

[ChronoTriggaFoo]

Hallo everyone!

Even though I've been a member since 2003, I've never officially introduced myself. My name is Alex, I'm 25 (as of May 29 of 2005) and I live just south of Fort Worth, TX in Cleburne.

I graduated high school in '98 as valedictorian of my small class of 32. Went on to college at the University of Texas at Arlington where I started out in architecture and loved it. But that love faded with frustration after 3 years even though my grades were good. I thus switched to Psychology. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in May of 2004. After that I became an insurance agent in property and casualty. Now, I am starting my own business in Health and Life supplemental insurance.

I began my love for collecting at the age of 10 yrs old, but NOT as a video game collector. It started with baseball cards. In particular, Topps cards. You could get 10-12 cards for 0.50 cents at the store. I did everything I could to find a Nolan Ryan. Oh the wonderful days of collecting baseball cards when it was FUN.

In 1990, I also happened to receive my FIRST NES with Super Mario Bros. 3 at Christmas! What a wonderful Christmas that was, cause I also happened to get all the Ninja Turtles with the sewer playset :D We never had much money, but my mom wanted me to have a great Christmas that year, God bless her heart. She would die in 1992 of stomach cancer at the young age of 35.

Through the 90's, I took to collecting comics and adoring Spider-man, even attaining the second holy-grail in spidey comics, Amazing Spider-man #1 from 1963! I bought it off eBay in 1998 for $1900! My FIRST eBay transaction! Unfortunately, he had advertised it as a Very Fine, but it only turned out to be a Very Good 4.0 (but when I did need money later on, I was able to sell it for $2400...I miss that comic though :( )

My resurgence into video game collecting began when I dusted off my old NES in 2001. I had money for once, so I would be able to go to the fleamarket and buy as many as I could for $3 a piece. I remember my first guide being a FuncoLand newspaper price guide, which lasted me for a year and a half. Oh good times.

As far as gaming genres that interest me: puzzles, strategy, platformers, RPG's, space and side-scrolling shooters, and quirky games that break the mold.

Favorite games include: Qix, Mario's Picross, Advance Wars 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man 1-6, Contra, Katamari Damacy, Chrono Trigger, ICO, Intelligent Qube, and many others!

Introducing myself:

Found the forums while google-ing
HUGE metroid fan
Collect NES games
Started collecting after a NES was given to me as payment for an Xbox mod.

[Malon_Forever]

Hello. I am new here. I am 15 years old, and in High School. I've been into gaming since I could hold a controller since my brother had a NES. I own:

3 NESs, 2 SNESs, 2 Genesis (model 1), 1 N64, 1 GCN, 1 PS1, 1 atari 2600 jr, 1 Gameboy, 1 Gameboy Pocket, 1 GBA, and 1 DS. I have over 270 games total.

I'm trying to get every N64 game released in North America. Right now, I only have 80.

[subsane]

80?! That's pretty good considering you're only 15.

Just stopping in to what's up. My collecting is more in the area of Simpsons video games, as evidenced by the site I work on: http://www.noiseland.net.

Looking through all the prototype jargon reminds me of a screenshot I saw in a magazine of a level for "Virtual Bart" that was not included in the final product. Good times.

[cammeyboy]

Hello everybody im 24 years old and i live in Rawtenstall england,happy to join the boards, i have been looking for a good retro videogames forum for quite a log time.

[Animerforever05]

hello im 19! and i have around 90 Games

[davyK]

Howdy..

I hail from the retro gaming desert that is Belfast , N.Ireland but have managed to amass a decent collection courtesy of ebay and the fact that I travel to the mainland regularly due to work (software).

I'm 39 and started way back with dedicated Pong machines (have reacquired 2 I owned via eBay), through 2600 (reacquired a woody 6 switch via eBay)- then dabbled in 8bit micros (Oric-1 and CPC-464) then returned to consoles with the NES, SNES, N64, DC and GC - was late getting into PS1 and Saturn but have good collections for them - getting some great imports for the latter (Radiant Silvergun, Twinkle Star Sprites, Parodius series - that type of thing). Have a fledgling Megadrive collection and also have a 7800 with some titles.

Favourite Genres - puzzle games, 2D shooters

Hates - bloated, po-faced FPSs (i.e. most after Quake 2) and bloody sports games.

My name is Angelique and I live in eastern Pennsylvania. I found the forums while searching info on NES prototypes one night bc they make me drool. My favorite games are MGS 1, phantasy star 3, mendels palace for nes. I collect for NES 8 bit and am up to 300 (nearly). I've done this without spending over 200 dollars total, it has taken me about 15 years to get to the point I am now. I also love my genesis. In real life i am a full time psych and art therapy major and a psych intern. i started collecting after having 40 games and a system donated to me and my family when i was about 8 years old and have loved them ever since. my current dream right now is to own a prototype withut breaking the bank...hard but not impossible. see you all around.

Hello, my names Brendan. I live in Ontario, Canada and I found Digital Press when perusing for price quotes on games I was bidding on (on ebay). Probably one of the best finds I've ever had!

I'd list what my favourite games are, but then I'd just be rambling on and on for far to long of a time, so we'll just say anything that entertains me.

I'm currently working on a Genesis and NES collection, but have lots of titles for 18 other consoles/handhelds. Hoping to finish a collection soon!

I'm currently kitchen supervisor, and am heading to school to become a Game Designer.

Hello

Yet another membre, from Belgium, old Europe.

I had been reading the boards and learning from you for a few weeks before I decided to register.

I'm not really a collector, but I like to call myself a retro gamer because I have more interest in older games than in recent releases. I own every Nintendo system since the NES, and a Sega Saturn. I particularly like the N64.

Well, that's all. Have a nice day, everyone.

Hello. I'm unicronQ from Schuyler, NE, US.

I was referred here by a friend (don't know what his user name is on here). My favorite video game systems are NES and GBA. I'm just getting into collecting NES games, and have about 34 games I think right now. I just got a new job at Wal-mart, so hopefully if all goes well, I'll be able to buy some good lots of NES games on ebay. Right now my favorite video game is Castlevania Symphony of the Night for Playstation, but I really like all the Castlevania games, and other similar games and RPGs. I've also got a Nintendo DS, Gamecube, Sega Dreamcast, a GBA SP, and a Playstation 2. I'm hoping to get an SNES and a Generation NEX before too long.

Other than video games, I also collect toys, antiques, comics, and about anything that catches my eye :P .

Just call me B!

Originally NC, but moved to Texas

To long to list! ( Lttp, Mario Kart, Super Metriod, Star Fox these are just a few retro)

So far just NES and SNES but I'm looking into the Saturn ;)

Right now I'm in college, and I work part time at Interstate Batteries...

Well I starting missing my old games from when I was younger " SNES". I traded it to a guy at school with my games for a sega saturn which was rare in my area. I bought another one but now the games are harder to find. Thus here I am.

Hi everyone.
You may have seen me posting that in the chat over the past few days. I just found out about this site and I'm always visiting it.
I wouldn't consider myself a collector of games, but I wouldn't mind starting, just need a job first. :P
I hope to have a good time here, thanks.

Sorry I didn't post this sooner

Hi, I'm Zack from Catonsville MD; right now I'm at college in Gambier, OH. I'm 19 (born 1986), been collecting games since I was 7. My love for gaming began when my older cousin dumped his NES on me after getting a then-brand-spanking new SNES. I was instantly hooked. Soon I was reading up on gaming history and going to Funcoland, which was heaven on earth to me, on a regular basis. At first I had no money so I had to rely on birthdays and christmas to satisfy my gaming desires. I slowly acquired more consoles as the years past: Game Boy, Game Gear, Atari 7800, my cousin's SNES (he had graduated to N64). By 2000 (I was 14), I was getting a better allowance and my collecting habit kicked into high gear. Now I have between 20-30 consoles (depending on whether you count add-ons, duplicates, etc) and a bedroom full of games. My collection is still pretty modest in comparison to others I've seen on this site since I've never had a lot of money; I haven't posted a room of doom yet since I'm at college right now.

Anyway, I found DP when I stumbled across the room of doom section which was linked to another site (sorry, I was rondomly surfing and forget which one!). I've been posting for a few months now and It's been great, kudos to all of you who have put this site together!
