Also Keith draws in another victim!

[MegaDrive20XX]

Hi, I'm MegaDrive20XX. I'm 29 years old, soon to be 30.

I've been gaming since I was 3 years old, with my very first Coleco Mini-Table Top of Pac-Man.

At the age of 5, I learned how to type on a Commodore 64 and played many games on it and the Atari 2600 Jr.

Wasn't until 1986 we were introduced to the Sega Master System, my first true console that didn't belong to my brother. (Aka hand me downs.)

I wasn't introduced to Nintendo until June of 1988 When my family could afford one. Was a die hard Nintendo fan up until the Saturn/PSX years of 95 till 1997, which changed my mind on a lot of things and gave me more of an open-mind towards systems I have missed out on during the early 90's

Since then I have seen just about everything, from 3DO, Jaguar, PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16, Dreamcast, Sega CD, Sega 32X, GameGear, Nomad, Saturn, PSX, Neo Geo AES and MVS, etc. etc.

But when it all comes down to, I'm really passionate about the Sega Genesis. I admit I ignored my first Genesis back in 1992 since I was blinded by the hype of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 that Christmas season, but years later when I was in High School during 1998 my best friend introduced me to the one game that made me change my entire view of what the Genesis was capable of and broke me away from being a Nintendo fan. That game was CastleVania Bloodlines and that made me go on a sort of rampage to track down everything from the Genesis, 32X, and Sega CD.

Hey Everyone, I'm Bradtemple87

I'm 23 and have been playing games longer than I can remember. I got my first sega genesis when I was younger and never looked back. I am a huge rpg and fighting fan. I'm much more likely to turn on my older systems than the 360 or ps3. I have a great collection and always love trading with fellow enthusiasts!

[Iggins]

Hi I am Iggins, I am 20 years old and i have been lurking this site for around 2/3 years. My favorite consoles are the Sega Genesis, the original Playstation and the Wii. I like to play almost everithing but sport titles, modern FPS (I love the original Doom, is probably one of my favorite games of all time), and rts.

[YoshiEgg25]

Hey, what's up!

I'm YoshiEgg25, but you can call me Yoshi, YE25, Yosh, whatever you want. I'm an 18 year old college freshman (no, not at Iowa as my avatar would have you think!) and I've actually been trolling the Racketboy forums for around a month now. My account just got activated after realizing that the confirmation e-mails were never going to come, and now I'm here!

I own six consoles and four handhelds. I brought my NES, PS2, DreamCast, GameCube, GBA SP, and DS with me here to college, and left my N64, Wii, Game Boy, and GBC at home.

I'm only starting to turn into a collector, and am pretty adept at finding deals. This summer was basically when I started. I picked up the PS2 with two controllers and Namco Museum for $20. Then, a couple weeks later, I picked up the DreamCast with two controllers, VMU, and ten games for $13. That is NOT a typo. Then later that day I got the NES with two controllers with Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Super Bowl, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (all boxed) for $25. A week or two later, I got the Zelda GBC trilogy (the Oracles and LADX) for $20 boxed.

And I found all of these at garage sales. Seriously, if you know where to look, you can jumpstart a collection in a snap.

Wait, this was an introduction thread, wasn't it? Ah, who cares, if you have anything you want to talk to me about, just shoot me a PM. I'm a pretty nice guy.

[GregadetH]

Hi all! Greg here. I'm 32, live in Georgia (USA), I have a thirst for heavy metal, vinyl and classic gaming. I have an 11 year old son who'd rather play SNES or Genesis than Wii or PS3 and I think that's pretty damn cool. I joined here a while back but this is my first post. You'll probably find me in the marketplace a lot because that's how I support my habit. Anyways, glad to be here. Y'all have a good one!

[GigaPepsiMan]

I'm GigaPepsiMan I'm very big on gaming and my collection has grown at a stupid rate over the last year.
