Introduce Yourself!

[OTEM]

The name's OTEM, from England. I am only a casual collector and hunt games that I want to play but somehow overlooked in the past (at the moment, X-BOX games). I also collect vinyl. I play on average one night a week for about 4 hours, or whenever I can - not often, but I can still hold my own when it comes to gaming chit-chat.
I am almost 20 and I am a student.

Hey everyone,

My name is Steffi and i am from Germany. So, my English isn't very well. But I work on it. I found the forums looking for a marketplace because I want a lot of US RPGs for PlayStation Two.
Maybe I'll buy a SNES because it has great RPGs. I only have modern consoles because I borned in 1992.
I am collecting RPGs for GBA, DS and PS2. In real life I'm learning for life... Haha. Well, I'm going to go to school and I lke to hanging out with my friends, shopping like other girls ...

[Trevelyan]

I'm 24yo from the UK, I own pal versions of the NES, SNES, Genesis & N64 and collect games I'm interested in playing for these consoles.

I happened across this forum whislt tracking down information about a video game and decided to join. Most members of this forum are obviously really knowledgable about video gaming lore, history and technology which is something I have a vested interest in and generally find fascinatingly enjoyable.

My favorite video game's are Goldeneye, Zelda:OOT and Super Mario Bros. 3. I love Half Life, Dungeon Keeper, Thief and classic games of all kinds for my PC.

[AZ Legend]

Name: Brandon
I live in Tucson, AZ. I go full time to school for a business degree. I also work full time. Im married with a son.
I love to play video games of all kinds. I recently just started to collect them. I use to sell every game after i beat it, but for some reason just started to collect. I love playing on my 360, but love going back to genesis and NES aged games. Nothing like it.

Here the starting of my collection. http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/...action=profile

I am a proud owner of Sega Saturn, Sega CD, NES, Genesis, and more as the collection grows.

[jahvybe]

Ok, so I have been reading the posts on here for a couple of months and I finally decided to join. I met swlovinist from a craigslist ad and he told me about this forum. I have only been collecting for about 6 months but my collection got a lot bigger when I went to the NWCGE in portland a few months ago. So a quick list of systems I have are:

Atari 2600
Atari 800
Atari XE (In box from when I was a kid. My dad thought this was a great compromise when I told him I wanted an NES. It was cool though.)
Atari Jaguar
Atari Lynx

Commodore Vic20
Commodore 64
Commodore 128
Commodore Amiga 500
Commodore Amiga cd32(with Sx-1)

Sega Master System (1 & 2)
Sega Genesis (1,2, & 3)
Sega 32x
Sega CD (front and top loader)
Sega Nomad
Sega Game Gear
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast

Nintendo NES
Nintendo Famicom
Nintendo SNES
Nintendo Virtual Boy
Nintendo Game Boy
Nintendo Game Boy Pocket

Nintendo Game Cube

Panasonic 3do

Turbo Grafx 16

Neo Geo AES

Tandy TRS-80 (CoCo 2)

Sony Playstation
Sony PS2
Sony PSP

Xbox
Xbox 360

I recently realized that my collection was growing way faster than my playing. So Ive decided to slow down a bit on collecting and enjoy what I have.

[strassy]

hello all,

i thought i would join this forum, since i have only ONE person to play Nintendo with, and all we ever play together is RBI Baseball and Tecmo Super Bowl. As you may guess, I am primarily here for NES reasons, but I do enjoy SNES and Genesis as well. I have tried/still try to get into modern consoles, but I have accepted that I will never get my money's worth out of them...so I try not to buy them.

Anyhow, I am 26 and am interested in hearing about how people find NES games other than eBay and craigslist. A few pawn shops here in Chicago sell them, but they usually have a very poor selection. Anyways, since everyone else seems to do it, here's what I own:

Nintendo (~300 games. I used to have ~400 but I sold off a lot of the truly horrible ones)
Super Nintendo
Genesis
Sega CD
PSOne (that was a waste of fifty bucks)
PS2 (got it for free from my roommate)
GBA Micro

In the past, I owned the following at one point or another:
Virtual Boy
N64
Gamecube
Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance SP
Game Gear
Sega Master System
32 X
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
Atari 2600

[DemonicDante]

My names Chris.

Big gamer for the last 2 decades, collector, poor guy cause of it but always love playing what I want

systems I currently own:

GBA SP
Nintendo DS
Wii
Snes
Xbox
Ps2
Ps3
Saturn
Wonderswan color
N64
PSP x2

[Riba]

Hello All - while looking for some info about Sharp X68000 I have stumbled on this forum and decided to join in as it seems to be anice and lively community.
I am 35, living in Croatia. Have been collecting vintage computers for a while, which culminated in the opening of PEEK&POKE museum/club late last year. If you ever find youself in the vicinity make sure you stop by!
At the moment we are setting up a "game room" featuring a lot of old game consoles.

[Sudo]

I'm Dennis from New Hampshire (Massachusetts, originally), and I'm 23. I found the forums a while back, though I'm not quite sure exactly where or when. Some of my favorite games include:

Asheron's Call
Castlevania (series)
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy (series)
Ico
Legend of Zelda (series)
Metal Gear Solid (series)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Snatcher
Super Mario World
Suikoden (series)

I currently own a Super NES, Gameboy Color, Game Gear, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, DS Lite, Wii and PS3 (and a lot of emulation on the side ). My gaming collection began as a wee child with the Atari 2600 and NES, and grew steadily from there. I'm currently looking for a job so that I can proceed to buy more games for said systems, though it's slow going at the moment unfortunately.

I look forward to being part of the community, as it's a refreshing change from the system wars and fanboy drivel of the IGN boards which I usually frequent.

[Artican]

My name is Joel, but you can call me Artican. ^_^
I live in Greenbrier, AR, which is just north of Conway.
I found these forums after checking out the publisher of the rarity guide I recieved with my Generation Nex.
I like so many games that listing just a few would be nearly impossible.
I am primarily an NES collector, though I buy for all my systems. I also am a system collector, and am about to branch out into some computer models (C64, Amiga, etc.)
In "real life", I am a 24 year-old secretary with a government agency.

I started collecting around '97, when $10 used NES games became more frequent, and I discovered some used gaming stores. The NES that started this renaissance was Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which I paid $15 for at a video store. Since then, it's been onward and upward.
