Introduce Yourself!

[randis112]

Hello, my name is Randy. I'm a 39 yr old truck driver residing in Colorado and have been playing video games since I was a kid. I discovered this site while searching for rarity guides online.

I had an extensive PS2 collection going when I happened upon an old Sega cartidge for Road Rash 2 in a bargain bin for 5 bucks about a year ago. Since then my quest to re-collect all my old systems and games quickly turned into an expensive (but fun) obsession.

I currently have 14 differant systems, most complete in the box, and over 450 games spread between them, most cib as well. I'm quickly running out of room for all this stuff, but am not letting that slow me down too much. There is so much more out there it is unreal.

Hi all, my name is Al and I live in the UK. I can't recall how I found the forums as it was some time ago. I've been playing and to a lesser extent collecting games for over 30 years now (I'm getting on a bit ).

My favorite games are rpgs or shoot em ups, I also like playing first person shooters on the Pc. Favorite systems are the Snes and the Pc Engine.
I've kept quite a lot of systems over the years such as Intellivision, NES, Mega Drive, Master System etc but I don't collect for them anymore. These days I concentrate on sealed games, mostly Playstation Rpgs which is rather an expensive hobby

Most weekends are spent going around a few car boot sales looking for games. As anyone here from the UK will know, you never know what you will find.

Cheers,

Al

Im not really a collector but I would like to get very into it some day. I do own a Playstation 2, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo 64, and a Super Nintendo. I want to purchase a Sega Genesis soon.

[TwinChargers]

Hey, my name is Brian and I reside in beautiful Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes. I found the forums in search of information on games on older systems. I currently own a Playstation 2, SNES, N64, Genesis, Mastersystem and an Atari 7800. I also have about a half dozen Plug-N-Plays and an old Pong system from the late 70's. Absolutely love classic gaming and hope to find out more about older systems and meet some cool people along the way. If I was to have a "videogame" dream come true, it would probably be owning an arcade cabinet. I love classic arcade games.

[Hyper_Sonic]

Hello, everybody. I'm 25 years old in Illinois. I've been playing video games since I got my Sega Genesis when I was about 9 or 10. One of the first games I got was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and to this day I'm still a Sonic fan.

I currently own a Sega Genesis and Dreamcast, an NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube and Wii, Sony PlayStation 1 and 2, XBOX and XBOX 360, as well as Game Boy Advance, DS and PSP. I don't have many games for my older systems yet, but I plan on getting more.

[xdaytime]

Como esta bitches.... I'm 16 from Indiana and I love playing video games. I am just now getting into collecting retro games but currently play lots of xbox 360. I am semi-pro in Gears of War for Major League Gaming and hope that I get some cred. Anyway, I am hoping to start off my collection with a NES and Dreamcast. PEACE!

[CaptainFalcon13]

Howdy, the name is Frank.

I live in Medford Lakes, NJ aka the town confined inside medford, but we have to be stubborn and have our own community because we are difficultvill USA.

DKtheArcadeRat (Dave Kushina) is a good friend of mine and he told me about this site.

I have so many favorite games it is hard to choose from so I'll tell you one from each of my systems:

NES-Strider
PSone-Tekken 3
Xbox-Time splitters future perfect
Gamecube-Marvel Nemesis Rise of the Imperfects
PS2-Shadow of the colossus
DS-Phoenix Wright
GBA-Fzero
GBC-Pokemon BLue
Wii-No More Heroes
Psp-Star wars battle front renegade squdren

My systems are all listed above

other things:
I'm a huge movie fanatic. I don't like to brag but if you are stumped on a movie tell me about a scene and an actor in the movie and I will tell you the title. My favorite movies are Boondock Saints and the Punisher w/ Tom Jane.

I love anime. It is a great media to watch. I'll watch any anime as long as it is not bobobo-bo-bobobo which just sucks.

I play any sport. I'm diverse. I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to playing sports, but I'm not saying that I'm always good. The two sports I devote time to are Soccer and Lacrosse.

I don't think I'm missing anything else, so I'll talk later and I usually show up at Next Level Video games in Blackwood in Today's Plaza on 1031 Little Glouster Town Rd. you can also go to NLVideogames.com

WAIT!

a few more things, sorry...

My favorite video game character is Captain Falcon as you can tell by my name and avatar. I am also a huge Oakland Raiders fan don't ask why.

[deteacher]

Greets!

My name is Pete. I've lurked around DP for quite some time (mostly interested in the Easter Egg section) but I've found myself browsing the forums lately. So I felt I should make myself known to the community.

I'm a music teacher in Delaware. I teach music to elementary students, grade 1-5. Hence the nickname 'DEteacher'. I might have to change my nickname, though. My family is planning a move to NH, hopefully by the end of the summer.

My only hobby is my Atari 2600 collection. My collection is hovering around 200 loose carts. Other than my trusty heavy-sixer, the only other console I own (and have ever owned) is a Wii. I've never had the desire to own another console until the Wii came along. I also own a DS and a PSP, but I don't really count them as 'consoles.'

Well, that's enough rambling from me. I look forward to chatting with you folks. Heck, hopefully I'll make it up to the DP store in the near future.

[Amnion-Chorion]

What's up guys?

I'm Mike, a 19-year old college student from Long Island. I've lurked around here for a while and I figured it was time to finally start posting. I wouldn't really say I'm a collector per se, but I have a ton of games (over 1000 at the moment, though I'm downsizing a bit) and an innate desire to own every game I feel is worth playing on a particular console. Of course, I don't have nearly enough time to play them all!

My favorite games include Earthbound, Mother 3, Chrono Trigger, the Phoenix Wright series, the Mega Man series, and far too many more to list here.

Looking forward to chatting with you folks.

[bacteria]

Hi guys,

I am 41 years old and live in Hampshire, UK.

I am active in the BenHeck forum and a "Portablizer Extrordinaire" there. I stumbled on this forum when I noticed a fellow modder, Life of Brian, was here.

I like modding and hacking old console systems, you can see my work on the BenHeck forum.

I will be looking at this site in more detail when I get some time.

John.

[Steve_the_tiger]

Hi everyone, My name is Steve, I'm 26 and live in Kearny, NJ. I found this place by stopping by the Digital Press store. I drove by it by accident on thursday. I saw video games on the sign and it wasn't gamestop or Eb games so i wanted to check it out ASAP. I made a quick U-turn, but it was only 9:30am so it wasn't open yet. I must have stared in throught the window for like 10 min. I could not wait to get out of work so that i could come back and get to go inside. This place is better then I thought. I have been starting to collect older games, mainly NES and SNES for a few months now, but now that I have a store very close to me with this and more I know i am going to be spending a lot of $$$ there. I spent $100 just on NES games and a price guide. As for a real job I work in Fairfield NJ at Raymour & Flanigan as the warehouse Mgr.

[The Old School Gamer]

Hi everybody!

My name is Tony, I'm 29 and live in Oak Lawn IL, Found this site while looking for reviews of classic games. First game system was an Intellivision back in 1984. I was late jumping on the Nintendo Bandwagon, didn't get an NES till 1989, and since then I've been a die hard gamer. I just started collecting old games and systems that I missed out on when I was younger.

[loop006]

Hi Guys,

My name is Gerald, I live in Renton Wa.
I found these forums, because I am a software tester, and a good chunk of my day, is spent searching for info about old obscure games.
My #1 favorite game of all time is Snatcher for the Sega CD.
Some of my other favorite games are: Panzer Saga, Odin Sphere, Psychic Assassin Tarumau, AvP (Jag), Tempest 2k, Yoshi's Island, Alien Soldier, Ranger X... there are alot of them!
I am a Sega guy at the core, my favorite system to collect for is Saturn, followed by Duo, then Jaguar, then Sega CD and Super Nintendo.
I mainly collect games that are fun to play from NES to current gen stuff.

I once found (and bought) a MIB Hello Kitty Xbox on CL!!!!!!!!!!
I probably know a bunch of you guys from the NWCGE.
I was a vendor at the 07 one, and I have attended the convention for the last 6 years.

-Gerald
