Happy 15th Birthday Digital Press

[digitalpress]

This week marks the fifteen year anniversary of our beloved organization (now corporation). It all began in front of an Atari 2600 between two buddies wondering "is anyone else out there playing this old stuff?" Our first publication launched to about 100 contacts on this date in 1991.

Let us party.

[Steven]

Congratulations! Quite a nice milestone.

Happy birthday DP! 15 years ago, I was playing old stuff, and I didn't know it was old!

[Goodwill Hunter]

Congratulations Joe! I can't think of anything that has more of an impact on my contacts in the gaming community, my gaming knowledge, not to mention my collection, than Digital Press. Kudos on creating something that is truly special!

Congratulations Joe from me too. We know each other since 1992, and what a long strange trip it's been (Remember Belgium?).

Here's to another 15, long may you run.

[kainemaxwell]

Congrats to us all and to Joe!

[johno590]

Wow congrats, I had no idea it has been around for 15 years. That's awesome.

[Haoie]

Rather odd coincidence this is roughly the same time as the birthday of the PS.

They say people are most likely to be born in the autumn [northern hemisphere] months, but that hardly explains it.

[Dangerboy]

As soon as this god forsaken quarter is over fo rschool, i'll be drinking heavily to celebrate.

Granted...that's about 2 wine coolers for my tolerance, but still!

Jason :D

Happy B-Day DP! 8-)

[Pantechnicon]

Happy Birthday to the big DP! I, for one, never stopped playing the "old stuff". From my first CGE in 1999 to signing up on this board in 2003, I am immensely grateful to know that there is a thriving community of like-minded folk.

Looking forward to the next 15...and the 15 after that...

[Boboduo]

Congrats on the first 15 Digitpress!!

[slapdash]

Oh no, that means I forgot the 15th anniversary of the 2600 Connection!

Anyway, nice work Joe! Did you & Kevin think it would last this long as you brainstormed about it?

Happy anniversary!

[Jumpman Jr.]

Yes, definitely: Congrats on 15 years Digital Press :D

[roxybaby]

I've only been around for a couple of years, but DP has been the best and most reliable reference for me in building my collection. Congrats on 15 years, and here's to 15 more!

[Mayhem]

Was wondering when in 2006 it was gonna be heh... congrats to Joe, to DP and for the next 15 years :)

[Lothars]

Awesome, It's great to hear Digital Press has been around for 15 years and I hope for so many more :D

Congrats Joe, You Rock

[Goblin]

Fantastic milestone. Congratulations.

[7th lutz]

Congratulations on 15 years. I first heard of DP back in the late 90's, on the internet or that was in 2000. When DP started out I was playing and buying 2600 and 7800 games at flea markets and at stores that had them for clearence. DP helped me get an idea how rare my games for a bunch of systems are. DP has been great for its guides and found a place for long time gamers who still like to play their old games and have played video games for a long time. Keep it up!

Happy Birthday...Enjoy!

[THATinkjar]

Whoa!

Happy birthday, DP! Here's to another fifteen years! And a big congratulations (and thanks) to all of those that have made DP the success it is!

[lendelin]

Congrats to all involved, and in particular to the guys of the first hours of DP!

Something great came out of it when two guys sat together and asked themselves which games and how many are actually released for a game system.

What I like about the guide and this site can be summorized in one sentence: shared enthusiasm about games and great and reliable information about games past and present.

Enthusiasm coupled with a collectors love for detail is contagious and changed my attitude towards games and collecting habits. No matter which issues are addressed, there is always someone on this site who can give hints and answers...and the concentrated knowledge base of the DP Guide and the fresh contributions in the DP 'zine are anyways more worth than tons of books written about games.

In the last couple of months I was terribly busy so I didn't post as much as I used to...but I look the site up once a day and read it. It is just too good to be passed up.

[snes_collector]

Congrats!

[Mr.collection]

What I'm not even a year older then DP.

Well at least it isn't the big age difference between me and an Atari.

[ding-dong]

crap, I just started! @_@

[atari_wizard]

Happy birthday DP! This is an awesome site and it keeps getting better. Here is for more years to come. 8-)

Congrats to you Joe, and thanks for continuing Digital Press after the loss of Kevin. It means a lot to me, and to everyone else here as well.

To celebrate, I think I will convert the Live From Your Home tape to DVD! w000tt11111!! LOL @_@

[NESaholic]

Wowsers 15 years already, superb in one word.
I hope this site will last forever.
Keep up the great work you guys and gals. ;)

[Raedon]

Hope to see another 15!

[tony_good]

15 years, huh? Jeez...

I remember getting the paper 'zine back around 93 or so, became a staff writer in 96, senior editor 8 years later.

It seems so very long ago, but it's been a labor of love.

Print is NOT dead, here's hoping the 'zine one day goes pro!

[cmislin]

really thats a great acomplishment congrats

[B - Mark]

Congratulations for his 15th year.

Sucess for you.
