Welcome guys!

Hey I'm Jerry. I'am 22 living in Panama City Beach, FL. I currently work in the electronics department in Target. I play Magic the Gathering and love anything Godzilla (except for the 1998 abomination.) I suck at games but love the history and the hunt for old games. My Grandfather got me into going to Flea Markets and garage sales when I was younger. Since i was 5 i have been going out and finding games and collecting them. My grandfather still goes hunting for games for me in Alabama so I have two states covered. I found this play through Nathan Barnatt recently and lurked for awhile but this place felt right so I came aboard. I am glad you are all doing your part to keep this history alive.

Hi I'm Tom. I'm a jack of all trades. I work on arcade machines and fightsticks(although I'm more on function and not form). I LOVE 90's cartoons and anime. Mostly Play fighters, Shmups and Platformers. But I'll play about anything. I'm saying I too much....

Ok... try to stay on focus here. Friends call me the failure guy. Since all I like is retro failures. I've spent more on stuff with the name sega on it than anything else. I like it that way.

Zing of the day!!! Ouch, hurts...guess you like _good_(i.e. Sega) systems that failed because VirtualBoy(Nintendo), Pippin(Apple) and Nuon(???) are just plain failures.

New blood in the house! Welcome all.

My name is James. I am 30 male (iowa usa) and been an avid gamer since I got my sega master system as a kid. Gaming system ownership went SMS>NES>Genesis>SNES>N64>Playstation>PS2>XBOX>XBOX360>WII>PS3. I am now just getting a gamecube and trying that product out. I got into alot of EQ and WOW during the ps2 console days. So I am going back and playing some of those games. Handhelds I had a gameboy when i was a kid but sold it to a friend, I have a GBA and PSP now.
I work in IT security for a large insurance company.

Wow, so you pretty much got the best of both worlds with each generation.

Hey guys, just popping in real quick to introduce myself.

My girlfriend and I have recently (last 2 years) been building up our retro gaming collection, basically just sticking with the stuff we had growing up and that's sent me online looking for stuff and I came across this place.

Currently own a MK1 and MK2 MasterSystem, Megadrive, SNES (PAL) and a N64. Looking to pick up a NES in the next couple weeks and then focus on expanding the game library.

Project of the moment is converting a hell of a lot of double wide DVD cases into proper cases for my loose cartridges (templates, cardboard cart holders etc.). Having a lotof fun with it but man, if you want to get very pedantic about stuff it can soak up the time.

Speaking of which, off to bed!
