Introduce Yourself!

[ihavethatpma]

Hi, my name is Jeff. I'm a "regular" over at NintendoAge, and people over their are constantly referring to DP, so I thought I'd join. I live in SW Washington State, I'm 25 years old, I play guitar and drums, my source of income is tattooing and selling video games, I'm super lazy and I love the NES library.

That about sums it up!

Why hello there fellow wavelengths on my nostalgia madness!

My name is Michael Edward Mangubat Venegas. I was born in the Philippines and currently here in Los Angeles, California pursuing MBA this coming August.

Classic games do have special place in my heart. <3 Words and even this post can even encapsulate how much I really adore games. They are a product of blood, sweat and tears of this art.

I'm more inclined to computer games such as shown here in my YouTube account: http://www.youtube.com/user/killerpawn

*sigh* Hope to meet you guys and relive those littlest joys, struggles and even some laughs these nuggets of entertainment in life.

Well, be seeing you in forums and even in meets.

I run an Arcade, Pinball machine, and bulk vending auction house in Orange county California. I have been involved in the gaming community for years in one capacity or another, but recently I decided to set up shop and start bringing the games to me..lol.

Hi my name is Dale. I recently came across the board multiple times through Google searches. The threads I read helped answer some questions and were entertaining, so I decided it was a place I would like to be.

I'm not a huge gamer. I like playing older games and easier games. I've just never been really good. My favorite system is the N64 and I love collecting stuff for it, and it is really the only system I play consistently. Mario would be my favorite series of games, and I like all the variations of Mario: Kart, golf, tennis, strikers, etc..

I've owned a PS3 for about 2 years and have never played a game in it. I love it though and use it everyday, just for other things than gaming. It seems the games just take too much time to get skilled at and enjoy. If someone has recommendations of games for it I might enjoy that are simpler and along the lines of Mario or Crash Bandicoot, then feel free to let me know.

I'm 22, been going to college for 3 years, hated it for 3 years, and recently decided to join the Navy. I'll be leaving for boot camp in about 6 months.

I like to ask questions. If I believe I know the answer, I'll still ask the question just for confirmation, so I hope I don't bother anyone with that. Also all my questions and posts will more than likely be N64 related, so I hope to get to know the N64 fans. Thanks very much everyone. I look forward to talking. Take Care.

Dale

Hi everyone, I'm Rafael and I live in Rome, Italy. I'm a videogamer since I was born, and I grew up with Nintendo consoles. My favourite videogame systems are Snes and Dreamcast, and my favourite game is Super Mario World... I simply love it!

See you in the forums

[primalmaster]

Hi guys, Just started collecting games my main focus is on ps1 and ps2 games but i also collect game from the NES and any console after.

Now a bit about myself my name is Wim,and I'm 22 years old and live Belgium, My first console was a NES followed shortly by a SNES. Thats about all thats really relevant, so yeah i hope i'll get to meet some cool people here and have a good time.

[Lo0kY]

You got Lo0kY here 26 from Mass and I been gaming since the age of 5 when I gotten my first NES system and it was AWE!! Currently I am expanding my collection in SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, PS1, and maybe get into Turbo Graphix 16 (though I only played the actual system once). I tend to sell from my personal collection from time to time due to space clutter and brining in new items almost every other day.

So this is me for now. Any questions don't be afraid to ask

[ReTrO-pLaYeR]

Hahaha yeah- well I'm 14 and have an undying love for NES and SNES games. I don't do auction websites much though, and here where I live very few places sell the old stuff. I starting collecting around the age of 10, although I have very few "rare" games. Favorite thing in my collection is my boxed "Adventure Island" which I bought for five bucks off an older person and which is valued at around 20 dollars. Perhaps more considering the manual and cart appear to be in pristine or mint condition.

Hello my name is Jonathan i'm 16 years old and i live in the state of Maryland. I've been playing games since i was about 5 (1998) and i've been collecting since i was 11 (2004). I have over 2000 games for over 38 systems (not counting my pc) my main collecting interests are SNES and PS1. I am currently in school and have a part time job. I found this forum when i was looking around the internet for my favourite section of Tips & Tricks magazine the collector's closet one of the links on the first page brought me to digital press and i've been lurking around the forums ever since.

My favorite games are The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Half Life 2.

I'm not really into the collecting business. I just like playing games that trigger nostalgia for my childhood or otherwise entertain me.

I am currently a student. I want to get into the field of psychology or philosophy in a few years.

That will be all for now.
