Hello there.

I'm Ghost, 19, looking forward to a career in Computer Programming and/or Graphic Designing. I've been into games since I was a little kid and my first console was a SNES. Looking to make a hobby out of collecting old game systems, games and the like.

I'm also into a lot of tech stuff, music, and I'm really into Ghost In The Shell and Batman.

My name is Kev, aka The Great Bamboozie. I'm turning 25 on August 2, and I work as a computer technician/troubleshooter. I live in the east metro Atlanta area, and whenever I'm not busy working, I'm at home playing video games. I own a good bit of systems, but none of the newest ones. I enjoy alternative, indie and punk rock and going to the movies every Friday night. I'm pretty much a laid-back dude with a modest amount of friends. I wanna thank Racketboy for putting together such an awesome website! I can't understand why I didn't find this place sooner! :D
Systems owned:
PSone, PS2, Xbox, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Nintendo Game Boy Pocket, Sega Game Gear, NES, Atari 2600, 3DO and Atari Lynx.

My name is Pete. I am 20 years old and I am a collector as well as a gamer. I have 40 systems and now over 1,000 unique games. My favorite systems include PS2, Virtual boy, N64, NUON, PS1, 360, Wii, PS3, SNES, Genesis, 3DO, 32x, Jaguar. My favorite genres include RPG's, action/adventure, and Platformers. I love platformers so much I even dedicated myself to making a website just for them! its at www.platformerupdate.com

Lets see... I am a huge fan of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Horror movies. My favorite websites to visit are joystiq.com (and all their fanboy sister sites) kotaku.com, digitpress.com, rfgeneration.com, allgames.com and now of course since I found this site racketboy.com :)

Hello my name is Jeff. I am sorta a youngin at 20 years of age. I live in Corona (yes the beer) California, near Anaheim (where Disneyland is). I have been into games ever since I was 4 on that fateful Christmas where my parents bought me a Sega Genesis that came with Sonic 2.

My favorite genres are 2D fighting games and any kind of platform, though I really enjoy playing all types of games.

I currently own 2 Genesis (1 is broken :( ), Nomad, Saturn, Dreamcast, NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, GB, GBA, DS, PSX, Fat PS2, Xbox, 360.

Last time I counted the game total is a little over 150.

I discovered this site by searching in Google why my VMU was always beeping. :P.

Saddest moment in my game collection: Breaking my disc 1 to FFVII

Happiest moment: 1.Getting my GF into collecting (don't ask how cuz im not sure myself)
2. Winning an eBay auction for a Dreamcast that included SF III 3rd strike (mint) 12 other games for 50 dollars.
