How Do?

Post by Curlypaul »

Hello

I'm a n00b and I just thought I would say hello. My new saturn arrived jus this morning and I came searching for a modchip and stumbled across this site...

I'm married with with 2 (nearly 3) kids and been playing games all my life. I've traditionally got rid of older machines when the next gen has come along but I'm recently starting to regret that and started to accumulate old games and systems again

Good luck, however you're now going to spend all your time playing games!

I've also grown up with games, and more recently began somewhat collecting but mostly playing Saturn, etc since you can pick up and play'em with the hectic schedule of "real life."

Hope you find the time to enjoy everything you like!

anyway congrats on getting a saturn, the greatest gaming system ever. if you are looking for game recommendations check out all of racketboy's awesome articles that i'm sure he will post links of later (i am far, far to lazy for that). they're really informative and slick.

if you use BT and want a complimentary underground-gamer invite to boost your iso collection once you get that modchip let that dude mason know. he has one left after giving one to me.

yeah sorry about the 'toodlepip', dunno what came over me.

I had a saturn when they were new and loved it. Makes me feel sick to think that I sold pds, warcraft 2, enemy zero, nights (with pad and christmas nights), virtual cop 2 (with gun), resident evil and about 40 other games (all mint) for £20 in 2000. I dont think I could afford to replace all that lot now.

I also have 2 platstations, a GBA, a DS, a (sega) Gamegear, access to a GC and i've got a bunch of master systems games that I can play on the game gear. Not exactly a Games TM collection but its a reasonable start

btw I wouldnt mind a invite to UG :D

I may have to wait till pay day to get the chip, so hopefully he'll still have it then

yeah i had a copy of Final Fantasy III for super nes (which is actually Final Fantasy VI for super famicom) that was factory sealed, sharp corners, collector's quality. it was flippin perfect. i sold it for $40. i probably could have made $300 if i could have found the right buyer. oh well.

Welcome Curlypaul!

I'm the same as you. Used to get rid of my old gear to make way (and help pay) for the new stuff. So painful to think back of getting rid of all that kit and games. I mean getting barley £20 for Panzer Dragoon Saga...my god! What was I thinking!

And I had FF3 too. Except I didnt sell it....It went missing! :cry:
