If someone mentions a game, you instinctively bring up that it has a better version on a different console and recite the reasons why, you might be a Racketeer.

If you have ever defended the NEC Supergrafx, you might be a Racketeer.

If you have more import games than games from your own region, you might be a Racketeer.

If you hardly ever use your oXbox for Xbox games, you might be a Racketeer.

If there is no possible way to keep all your game consoles hooked up at once, you might be a Racketeer.

If you bought/emulated a Dial-Up connection just for your Dreamcast, you might be a Racketeer.

If you have nightmares that involve the dog from Duck Hunt... you might be a racketboy member.

If your understanding of any large expenditure is calculated in terms of how many video games it could buy you, for example a new $20,000 car is worth 333.33 brand new retail games... you might be a racketboy member.

If you are not always sure whether to laugh at Keith Apicary or model your life after him... you might be a racketboy member.

If you will spend hours going on about how original hardware is always the superior option, only to make an exception to MAME, which is totally acceptable, you might be a Racketboy member.

If the names FM Towns Marty and PC-FX ring a bell, you might be a Racketboy member.

Further, if you know all the hardware variations of the PC Engine and your major doubt when looking for one is over the aesthetic of a Duo versus that of a Super CD-ROM2 attachment, you might be a Racketboy member (Bonus Racket points if you make a remark about the Arcade Card).

This right here is my entire adult life in a nutshell.

I've got a big bill to pay...how many games will this prevent me from buying?

This is a great post! All the confessions are hilarious!

If you keep going back to get multiple copies of the same game on the same console, on top of having versions for the other consoles as well - you might be a racketboy member.

If you hit a ton of game stores while driving to and at your vacation - you might be a racketboy member.

Even after buying the ton of games on vacation, buying more after the Buy 2 Get 2 Free - you might be a racketboy member.

Driving eighty miles for a $2.99 game - you might be a racketboy member.
