    I'm Jason from Fort Wayne, IN. I've been into gaming my entire life, but I just started to collect. I want to get some of the systems that I never had. I'm also interested in movies, game and movie soundtracks, books, and anime. I hope to enjoy my time on this forums as much I've enjoyed the CAG forum and the IGN forums.

    Hi All! I am new to here. My name is David and I live in Wellington, FL. I have been on the Neo Geo Forums for over 4 years and have plenty of feedback there as neogeofl. I picked gauntletwarrior here to go with my eBay account, which has 100% Positive feedback there also, and because I love Gauntlet Arcade Games. I have a Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet Dark Legacy (coming soon) Cabs in my house. I also own a Neo Geo AES, NGCD, Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, and so on. I love games and have been playing them for over 25 years now. I have twin 5 year old boys that I am breaking into games also. Anyway, just wanted to intruduce myself and make some more friends!

    Ha. Forgot about the introduction. Been on for about a week now. A few of you already know me( and most of you that do are probably pissed off at me.) Anyways, my name is Jacob and I like the Halo games(who doesn't???). I live in Arkansas. And this state is not full of stupid hillbillies and rednecks. I HATE it when I see stuff like that on movies and shows and stuff. Anyways....toodles.

    Default Hello I'm New

    Hi I'm new to this board so I'll introduce myself. My name is David and I'm from Shaker Heights, OH. I have been into video games since I was little. My first system was the atari 7800. I enjoy classic video games as much as I do the new ones. I am still really into Nintendo and have been working to refurbish my old system and games so that they work again. I am starting to collect more classic games now in addition to the ones that I previous owned. I have started a website listing games that I am selling the URL is www.angelfire.com/games6/davidsclassicgames. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Anyway My name is Arron nick named alec006 in the fourms and ive been playing video games eversince 1994 (when i was 4 years old) when i got my first system the Sega Genesis and with it Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

    Hi, I'm Famicoman. I first came into contact with DP from AtariAge. I was interested in, and bought the collectors guide, and the advanced guide a few months later, when it came out. I recently thought I should cover all bases, and become a member here too.

    Hello. My name is Steven. I currently live in Illnois. I have lived here for about 8 or 9 years. I grew up in Parkridge, Illnois. Great place. My buddy Uzi 9mm mention this site to me. I never really get into "Classic Gaming" but once he showed it to me. I was blowed away. This site is truely AMAZING. I got some favorite games. Halo2 of course, MLB 2k5, NBA 2k5, and plenty more I cant remember at the moment. I own Xbox (2). My first one broke so I gave it to my older brother whos 20. Then I got a new one for this last Christmas. I also have Gamecube, Nintendo 64, Genesis, Sega,Dreamcast and a bunch others. I dont have a job right now. But I hope to get one in the next year or so. I'm a Freshman this year. Cary Grove Highschool is where I go. I got into gaming. Hmm, I dont remember off hand. But It was probably my brother who I always used to watch. I started off with the old old systems. Then when I got into gaming more I relized it was a bunch of fun. Then I got a Nintendo Gamecube. Then I got a Xbox. I was amazed how sick the system is. Im looking forward to the Xbox 360. Well, I hope you all good people had a good time reading this long write up. I'm looking forward to be posting and asking stuff or helping on this wonderful site. See you guys around.

    -Steven or Samelson
    I have the best signature ever!

    Wow. Over 2200 posts and I don't think I did this one! If I did it's probably somewhere in the middle, and honestly I don't want to go through every post to look for mine.

    So just to be sure, I'll do it here.

    I'm the RetroYoungen, a.k.a. Kevin S., and I've from Vacaville, CA (a half-hour from Sacramento and about an hour from San Francisco). I've lived in CA my entire life, and I've loved most of it. I just turned 21 this year (August 6th to be exact). I've been playing video games since I was 2 at Christmas of 1986 on an NES (I was Luigi, so I love the little greenie probably more than his brother).

    I collect for pretty much every console I can, 18 in total (though hopefully that number will go up after CGE this year). I have about 660 games at this point but I need to go over them all to make sure I've counted every one into my computer.

    I'm an English major at the local community college, almost ready to transfer to Sac State. At this point in my life, I want to become a teacher at the college level. I've written one novel, plenty of poems (and not just "angsty" poems), short stories... I just like to write.

    And I write reviews in my blog on DP here, so if you want to read any reviews of mine go ahead and check it out.

    Just thought I would say 'hello' being that I am a newbie here.

    I learned about this site through Atariage.com I have been a member at AtariAge for a long time now. I was out of the 'collecting market' for a bit there because of a divorce but I thik I'm making a comeback now. I have sold a lot of my extra stuff lately... but I stil have my main collection together.

    I collect for the three systems:

    1. Atari 2600 (300 plus games + @ 100 games for trade)
    2. Atari Lynx (63 unique games)***
    3. Vectrex (8 games)

    *** Atari Lynx.... Recently made a mistake and sold 11 sealed games that I forgot I didn't have doubles of. I am kicking myself for that. I only needed a few ridged carts and clat carts from completing my commercially released set.

    I have other systems as well: PS2, PSOne, Dreamcast and a few others. I think for the most part I will be collecting ONLY handheld stuff in the future (Lynx, Turbo Grafix Express, Nomad, etc.). I will keep my current stuff, but will not get anymore 'consoles' beyond the next-generation consoles.

    The Nomad is a wonderful system. There are a lot of good games for that system, so I regret selling it. The TG Express... well... I know nothing about Turbo Grafix stuff... but I think it is interesting, so eventually I'll dive into that market. I also liked the Sega Game Gear... but I'm not sure if I will collect for it again.

    At one time I had something like 12 Atari Lynx systems and over 150 Lynx titles. Not to mention all of the extra stuff (manuals, pouches, carrying case, ac adaptors, com-lynx cables, etc). But I am basically down to what I have for my collection now and that is it. I still have four or five systems... so i may sell those off. Who knows. Interested? Shoot me a PM or something.

    Well... that is it for me. My GF's mother used to work in an Atari assembly plant at one time. Used to bring home games all of the time from work... (a lot of Activision titles). She is digging those out for me and I'm anxious to see the results. They won't be for sell... but if need be and if by chance I have loaners or prototypes... I'll get them dumped to see if they are anything new.

    Take care....

    Hey there all. Name's Marco or DM, depending on when you met me. If you've met me. Wait.

    I'm registered and now lurking, waiting for more strategy guide threads. It's the Versus thread here that brought me here. Using it, I was able to get all the volume numbers without having to wait until I bought the guide or it popped up on ebay. I've got 36 guides now, and looking to finish up the collection soon. Before Thanksgiving, I hope. Money's a bit tight now. I'm thinking of selling off my Nintendo Powers to raise funds. Not too sure, though.

    Game and system wise, I'm pretty good. Everything's in boxes now, so no pictures or lists. I find lists to be pretty boring anyway. I'll take some pictures when I get a free weekend or two.

    I'm a diehard NGPC player, DC junkie and Landstalker master. I've recently started and forgotten about a website dedicated to my apathy for video games in general. I really should write more for it, but I'm a chronic procrastinator.
    Collector of 1,673 strategy guides, and BlazBlue ain't one of them.

    Default Crazy gamer with lots to do.

    Hello, the name's Matt and I'm from Chesapeake, VA.

    People who aren't familiar with the city of Chesapeake, it's near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and it's better known neighboring cities are Virginia Beach (East) and Norfolk (North). I live 90 minutes from the outterbanks North Carolina home of Kittyhawk and Nags Head.

    I came accross the forums last year when looking around for video game collections to see what others had, but didn't decide at that time to join. Recently I left a few on-line communities (Like myspace) flooded with youth and ignorance, so looking for a new place to join I fell back upon here. Reviewing what this community had to offer with the wealth of information I was suckered right in.

    Generally I collect and play mainstream consules and computer games but enjoy getting out to the classic arcade joints downtown and at the beach on the weekends. My favorite system would be the SNES because I have more of my favorite games on there and it's easy to find new games to add to my collection for it. Generally I will play any type of game but there's times where you just have to play a RPG or FPS (Whether it's replay or continuing where you left off).

    In "real life" (AKA Reality) I'm a full time student at Old Dominion University (Best known for their Basketball Team the Lady Monarchs and science research) and working on degrees in Math, Electrical Computer Engineering, and Computer Science. Eventually I will transfer to Virginia Tech for my Masters (Go Hookies!). While this long process of learning is going on, I work part time at a cable company as a telemarketer (Of all things) and in my spare time work on cars, computers, go out, and program.

    In middle and high school I wrote several dozen games and applications for the TI calculators and PC that were popular by other classmates. Some games were clones like Pac-man, Mine Sweeper, Snake, and a casino game with a few original slot machines, cards, and table betting games that kept track of several savable accounts. My biggest hit was an adventure platform consisting of 29 puzzle maze levels that I ported to the TI-82. Even though I haven't made games recently, I still place ideas on paper for later down the road developements.

    My first game system was a Sega Master System back in '91 and played the hell out of it. Growing up with just one game system and a few games, everyone else was always getting newer systems and games. This outcry for my own archive finally happened when I got my first job, buying anything familiar or adventurous I could at low prices. Within 2 years I collected over 400 games on 13 different systems and continue to do so.

    Default About me

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Loren and I currently live in Sunnyvale, CA. Kind of ironic that I love video games so much, and one of the founding fathers of video gamedom began here: Atari. And oddy enough, Atari has resurfaced from the ashes... In Sunnyvale, no less. Used to be Infogrames, now Atari. The irony is so thick you can taste it!

    Anyway, I discovered video games when I was about five years old or so. I saw the arcade game 'Destruction Derby' for the first time. It was set in an area of a department store that was rasied just one step above the floor and was quite at home among its older brothers and sisters, the pinball machines. There were a few other arcade games there, but this one caught my eye.

    Even though the graphics back then pale in comparison to the eye-catching hyper-real style of today, the blocky caricatures of race cars duelling head-to-head in a race for survival to see who could get the most points before the time ran out was so innovative at the time, a child could not say much more than, 'Wow! Can I play?'. Kind of like how games draw our attention nowadays. ^_^

    The designers knew just how to draw a person in when they played. A rumble feature that started when the game stole your quarter gave you the feel of a powerful race car engine purring excitedly, like a wild animal just barely held in check, and it felt so good against your hands that you would step full on to the acelerator and scream around the surface of the arena after your prey, completely lost to the outside world until sadly, the game ended seemingly as suddenly as it began.

    Then, you would take a few deep breaths, come back to reality, then want it again, and again! Wow... So yeah, that was the beginning.

    Two years later, my brother and I discovered the Atari 2600 at a friends' house. You could not keep us away from anything with a joystick for very long after that. It was nearly ten years before I actually owned my first Atari 2600. Found it at a garage sale for $5.00. It was the first console I owned. Managed a pretty extensive collection before I lost everything.

    Moving forward, I met the most wonderful person in my life ten years ago, and of all things, they encourage my gaming habit. Even to the point where I had to say 'Whoah! Okay, I think I have too many games.' (I have a lot, and I am not sure if I will every play any to an extent until I am retired).

    I have no favorite system as I enjoy the features of each console for their uniqueness. When I collect a game that was released on multiple platforms, I usually go with the one that looks the prettiest, or end up getting copies for each system.

    What I do... Well, I could tell you but I would have to eliminate you. j/k of course, but I really cannot talk about it. However, in my spare time I like to design graphics with photoshop, play around with physical things I have drawn then scanned, make improvements. Some day I hope to be self-sufficient in that regard. ^_^ I like to write short stories, play around with HTML, sometimes offer my services as a day care provider or babysitter, create storyboards, make people laugh (but I am not a comedian), learn Japanese, collect rare and hard-to-find laserdiscs, and that is just a little bit. ^_^

    Soon I should be posting the gaming stuff I have in the appropriate forum, and I have some stuff to sell too. If you wish to contact me, just PM me. ^_^
    I am Vixen, hear me murr!
