Introduce Yourself!

[UrQuan]

Wow, two Ians introducing themselves in a short time...

Yeah, my name's Ian. I'm 19 years old and I live in Fargo, ND. My favorite game of all time is Star Control 2 on the 3DO. I've played through it two or three times a year for the last seven years, I like it so much. I own an Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, Virtual Boy, Gameboy Advance, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, 3DO, Playstation 1 & 2, and XBox. Considering my age and lack of funds, I think my collection is pretty decent.

By day in the real world, I'm a telemarketer - the scum of the earth- and by night, I'm the vocalist in a grindcore band. I just recently got back into game collecting after my DVD collecting spree. I go in collecting waves. I'm obsessive in my collecting, no matter what it is. I use what I collect, though. I buy games to play them, not to look at them sitting there

I'm hoping to have a good time here. Thanks in advance!

[Slimedog]

My name is Steve and I'm a gaming addict. (Hello Steve) Well not really, but I collect all console and portable games from NES to present. My collection is my pride and joy. I'm a happily married Support/Development tech for a small company and I live near Orlando FL.

What are the odds that UrQuan would post right above me? I've been collecting for about 5 years now and I owe it all to Star Control 2 for the 3DO. That game changed my life.

[GraveyardDeciple]

Hey, what's happenin? My names Dani. I'm from Warner Robins Georgia (hell on earth). I had an account here awhile back, but I just forgot my s/n and such so I just made a new one. I started collecting when I was about 7 yrs old. I got my first nintendo. And I loved it. Gaming is my life pretty much. In real like I'm a car audio technician and I also work at a two wheel body shop part time. I'm also in a band and all that good shit.

[Alucard]

My name is Dustin Schubert and I found the site from a friend. I collect games for the Saturn and the Super Famicom. I also collect systems, and at the moment I have around 31 systems. I pretty much just hang out with World of Games at his game store.

[Audigy]

Hi. I'm Audigy.

As a soundcard, one would think that I'm interested in making music... but I'm not like other soundcards. I enjoy 'pixel art' related things (See homepage) and most things related to classic console RPGs. Music-related, I enjoy picking apart sound formats of PSX and PS2 games. The results of this can also be found on my homepage.

I continually see references to this board from friends I have in the NES collecting scene, so I figured I'd come check it out more in-depth (yeah, my account's been around a while... just haven't posted that much.)

Currently, as far as collecting stuff goes, I'm trying to complete my collection of PSX RPGs and corresponding strategy guides. I have a rule that I will never pay more than original retail price for any game... and have been pretty lucky so far.

I used to collect NES and SNES, but... emulators got advanced enough for me to not need the original consoles anymore, so off to eBay they went (many years ago, please pardon the blasphemy. )

Anyway, yeah, hi.

[Dark_Sol]

Hi there from Russia!
from one of the most freaking nuts jrpg collectioner.
I do no collect all consoles and all games. for games - only role-playing of all kinds , for consoles - only those that have many rpg's to play :P
Since VERY LIMITED amount of original games was ever imported in Russia (in old ages and now) i have to do a lot of ebaying and totally waste all my cash onto it.
I'm most concentrated on SEGA boxed and complete games with the best possible condition and i guess i have one of the best Sega MD rpg collections.

I guess rarest gems of my collection:

Sega MD - Shadowrun Asian PAL version Complete in MINT condition. Saw only 1 copy of this and grabbed it...
Sega MD - Maten Densetsu JAP complete in splendid condition.One of the rarest Sega MD RPG games every seen on ebay. Even in japanese auctions it costs not less then 45$.
Sega MD: Daikoukai Jidai 2 JAP (Uncharted Waters 2) complete.
Sega MD: Dragon Slayer JAP complete with a pin.
Sega MD: FACTORY SEALED Phantasy Star 2 with Hintbook.Costed me quite a sum of cash.But always wanted to get it sealed.Too bad i had to unseal it and to play..., but it still smells good!

Saturn: Valhollian JAP complete mint
Saturn: Princess Quest JAP complete
Saturn: DeviceReign JAP complete mint
Saturn: Great Adventure JAP complete mint

[Haoie]

Hey everyone, I'm from New Zealand, 1 of those PAL regions gamers. I specifically collect PS1 titles, right now I'm at 68. I've been collecting for just over 2 years. I try to get PAL whenever I can, but I have a few of those NTSC US games that never got a PAL release, like Lunar:SSSC. Eventually I hope to reach 100 in my collection Feel free to AIM me anytime, just tell me who you are first. Ciao.

[fpbrush]

hi! im ryan, and have been lurking these good boards for awhile now.

as with all of you, i love collecting videogames. i find it hard to pass up a beautiful piece of hardware (white saturn, yum! ). I have roughly 9 unique systems and a handful of saturns and dreamcast

because i am currently in school, my collection is more.. "playable" than a typical collection. while i love having mint in box items, i wont pass up that loose $2 space channel 5 disc at a gamestop bin

when i get some more time and money-- i would love to further my dreamcast and gameboy collections, as well as break into the 2d wonderland known as PC Engine

look forward to talking with all of you!

Have I posted here already? In case I didn't, I'm Matt; I've been a member here at DP for over a year (should be, at least). My main emphases for video game collecting are Super Nintendo (all regions: I may well be one of maybe half a dozen in the United States with 2 PAL-version Super Nintendo systems) and PlayStation (also all regions). I'm a respected buyer/seller/trader here at DP (can't remember how many trades I've done here, I'd guess about 10), at www.tradegamesnow.com (45 rating/100% positive, 4 currently pending trades) , and at eBay (43 rating/100% positive, 2 pending sales). The item I'm looking for the most right now? Suikoden II (PS1; any and all 3 regions' individual release of it). Have a nice day, all of you .

[Geo1126]

Hi, I'm George and I'm 19. I live in California. I'm going back to college in a month. I like to play classic games from the classic system from atari 2600 to the Dreamcast. This site really fits my needs. I like playing games on Nintendo and Sega systems (mostly Sega.) My favorite system is the Sega Genesis with the combination of the Sega 32x and Sega CD. I mostly play the Sonic Series and Streets of Rage. I began collecting in 2001 when I got interested in how good it is to play the good classic.

[Scissors]

Greetings.

I collect games for most every Nintendo, Sony, and Sega console. The only ones I don't have are Sega's Pico and Gamegear, and Sony's PSP. I also have a few Neo Geo Pocket Color and Turbo Grafx games. My favorite Genres are RPGs (especially strategy RPGs) and Musical/Rhythm. My favorite RPG is Final Fantasy III/VI (whichever you prefer to call it). The last game I completed was Amagon for NES (I believe it was my second time playing through). I'm currently playing Galerians on Playstation (for the first time).

My collections mainly consists of:

Sega Saturn
Dreamcast
PC Engine DUO-R
Neo Geo
Neo Geo Pocket
SNES
Famicom
N64
Gameboy
Xbox
PSX
PS2


up till now I have like 300 games and own 14 game systems.

[cbella76]

HI! My name is Cathie and I am from Wilkes Barre, PA. I am 28 years old, just went back to school and have crappy job at present time.
I am in love with NES!
I like anything computer related and police scanners.
I just recently bought a NES with all hooups from ebay for a few dollars. When it arrived it blinked so I used sandpaper on pins and works like new! I buy my games at a local used video game store for 2 dollars each!

I also have gamecube with some games, and several gameboys with games and a playstation with a few games and never get used.

[Saaataaan]

Hey folks!
Name's Dennis (although my nick is saying something different...), I'm from Duisburg, Germany and I'm a passionate gamer!
I started off with a C64 for years, until I got a NES and a GameBoy. After that I had the SNES and I saved a lot of pocket money to buy myself a N64. After that a friend of mine wanted to get rid of his PlayStation One, so I bought it for a nice price. As I saw the pictures of the PS2 I knew, that I needed to get one them, so my mom bought me one for christmas!
Then there was nothing for quite 2 or 3 years until some buddies of mine convinced me of the quality of the Dreamcast, so I got one on eBay. After that, everything went "down the drain"! I searched all 2nd hand shops, flea markets or eBay auctions to buy a Master System, a Genesis and a Saturn. As Resident Evil 4 came out, the time was right for me to buy a GameCube and now I own them all! Also I have a GameBoy Advance and I'm really keen to see the next generation consoles.

Don't ask yourself why I won't be able to post here very often as I will more or less stay a silent reader! Sometimes I will answer to several posts, of course.

Nice forum though and a great archieve of everything about games, this site is. I'm very impressed!

[Kefka1]

Hi. I'm Rob. I'm just starting to collect NES/Famicom games (the NES is my favorite system and I already have a famicom and a good 20 games for it as well as about 20 games for the NES). I also play guitar and am trying (not completely sucessfully) to learn to read speak and write Japanese.
