Hey, I'm Karl from Michigan. I was looking on eBay for rare Atari 2600 games when I found mention of this site, so I checked it out and here I am!

I have been a video gamer since I first played Joust, Pac-Man, and Burgertime in the arcade at about age 2. My favorite games are the original Megaman series for the NES, the first 3 US Final Fantasy releases (not counting Mystic Quest), Secret Of Mana, Chrono Trigger, the original 3 NES Castlevania titles, Super Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario World, Faxanadu, and too many others to list at the moment!

At present, I collect any games and consoles I can find:

-I have 5 NES consoles (4 original, 1 top loader) with over 230 games and a myriad of controllers and accessories;

-an Atari 2600 console with over 30 games;

-5 Genesis consoles (2 model one, 1 model one with "High Definition Graphics" around the cartridge portal, 2 model two) with over 80 games, about 20 controllers, and a bunch of other goodies;

-4 Super NES consoles (3 original, 1 new model) with tons of controllers, etc., and approximately 55-60 games;

-A Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance with over 25 games between them;

-A Nintendo 64 console with over 30 games and a few beat-up controllers;

-A Sega Dreamcast with about a dozen games, a few rough controllers, and a broken VMU;

-A PlayStation 1, original model, with over a dozen games, a couple of controllers, and several memory cards;

-A Gamecube with about 10 games, a few controllers, and a couple of memory cards.


Well, I work, and am going back to college in the fall (hopefully). When I'm not working, I shop around at thrift stores and eBay, looking for new games to add to my collection

[CrimsonNugget]

Hi, the Nugget has arrived. I live in the good ol' US of A in the state of Pennsylvania. I collect Sega systems and games for Sega systems. I am a die-hard Sega fan, and of course, my favorite video game character is Sonic. The one thing that would make my life complete is Sega making a second Game Gear, but we know that won't happen. Ah, so there you go, that is me.

[Sailorneorune]

Hi, my name is Kerri, but I am known as sailorneorune just about anywhere I post.
I joined to trade or sell some of my unwanted games for games I've been wanting for a while.
I hope that the rarity list does not rule all here but it probably does. Please be gentle as I am a college student who just wants some good games to pass the time between semesters.

Thank you all.

[p_w38]

Hey, Phil here from Texas. I've lurked this site for about three or so years now and I felt it was time I finally posted for a change.

I can't say I'm the biggest collector here, but my modest collection is growing day by day.

I'm into Castlevania, Metroid, and pretty much anything that has to do with Sega. Used to not be a Sega fan but in recent years I've found I really do like them. The Saturn and Genesis/32X are my favorite to collect for. DC is a close third.

I'll eventually post my room of doom once I get it in order. Until then I look forward to talking to you guys and gals.

[Geno Bomb]

Hi. I'm Geno Bomb and I think that the SNES was the best system ever. My favorite game on it is Super Mario RPG, which is what I got my name from, but I enjoy all of the big RPG's like FF3/6 and Secret of Mana.

[VG_Maniac]

Hey, everyone. I'm VG_Maniac...also known as Aaron. I'm 22 years old, and live in Washington state. I sill live at home (doesn't bother me), work part-time, and go to school part-time. I have been playing games since the original Super Mario Bros.... and that's basically my whole life. I grew up on the NES, then the SNES and so on. Even though I've been gaming for 18+ years...I didn't really start getting serious about collecting until a couple of years ago. My collection is pretty decent sized...but nowhere near as impressive as some of the crazy collections I've seen on this site. I'll probably post pictures of my "Bedroom of Doom" once my collection grows a little bit more.

The systems that I own are:

Intellivision
Atari 2600
Atari 7800
NES
Game Boy
Super NES
Virtual Boy
Nintendo 64
Game Boy Advance
GameCube
Genesis
Saturn
Dreamcast
Playstation
PS2

As for my favorite game of all time...probably a tie between Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
My favorite console of all time is the Super NES.

[evil_genius]

Hi, my name is Dan. And I work in a button factory. I collect complete NES and Genesis games.

[cityside75]

Hi I'm Jim, aka cityside75. I've been a longtime lurker and occasional poster, and figured it was about time I posted here.

I'm 34 years old, so I've been around just about since the beginning. My first non-pong system was an Intellivision in 1980, which my parents bought for the family for xmas. I still have that original system and an Intellivision 2, along with an NES, SNES, N64, PSX, Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, and PS2. I've also been a long time computer gamer - I have a C64, C128, and a bunch of PC games. Oh yeah, I also have a GBA and an Atari Lynx.

Some of my all time favorite games are:
Starfox - SNES
Super Mario Series (8 & 16-bit)
Rez - DC
Doom - PC
GTA 3 and beyond
Half-Life series
Robotron - Arcade
Samurai Shodown 2 - Arcade
Mortal Kombat 2 - Arcade

But my first love was always the arcades of my youth, therefore my current favorite toy is my HotRod SE and my complete MAME collection. It's been a hit with everyone else too.

Unfortunately I don't get nearly enough time to play the games anymore, as I am married with two children and I am attempting to get a new business off the ground. My company, New Perspective Data Solutions focuses on Geo-demographic analysis.

I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and a diehard Cubs fan, and I love DP - it's one of the few websites that I try to check out for at least a few minutes every day.

Keep up the good work everyone!

[BookMasterJMV]

Howdy.. new to these parts..

My name is Justin Viskoc.. aka BookMasterJMV.. or Bookie. I'm 20 and work full-time at the Circulation department of a library in Henderson, Nevada -- just outside of Las Vegas.

Came here via Roger (Rogmeister)'s blog. We both frequent Pat Lewin's ezBoard.

Game-wise, I don't play anymore. However, I do vividly remember such games as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the first ones and the other arcade-style ones), Tetris, Legend of Zelda, Duck Hunt. Ah, memories.

Originally came here for the arcade, but saw I have to get these points to get into the arcade. Guess I'll have to post a bit.

Hi, I'm weredog. I'm not really a collector per say but I've been gaming since I was about six.I started way back with the atari 2600.I remember going to the roller rink and spending more time in the arcade than actually skating.

Favorite games include almost any action RPG, Final Fight, Konami's TMNT and Simpsons games, Kangaroo, Jungle Hunt, Atari ET ( yes, you read right ), River City Ransom and Killer instinct.
