    Morgan Hill, CA (south of San Jose)

    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!

    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.

    Default New brazilian collector on this forum

    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

    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.

    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. ). 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.

    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.

    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!

    Default Hey

    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.

    In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least, it is true that man has no control, even over his own will.

    Hey guys!

    Sorry, i didn't do this earlier but here it goes.

    Name: Jeremy
    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 . 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...
