So uh yeah. That's all I've got to say really. ;>_>

welcome to the forums!

Guess I should have introduced myself before. I'm arnold_the_bartender but everyone calls me ATB for short. My name is not Arnold and I'm really not a bartender. My user name is a long story. Anyways, I've been collecting since the fall of '04 with the reason being a lame rule of only having one console at home at a time. I went to a local game crazy and saw that they sold classic games so the craze started there. I broke that rule and eventually everyone got over it once I started building my collection and proved I could manage it. My gaming started when I wasn't even a toddler. I've been playing since day one starting on the NES (my cousin gave me his) and then the Genesis (Sonic 2 System), that is, until my mom returned the Genesis since I was playing it too much. So much for that.

Anyways, I really enjoy classic video games, video game music, the arcades, and more. I also enjoy networking with other classic gamers but unfortunately, most of the people I know are via the internet and not local. If anyone else is in the bay area, feel free to contact me. My friend and I want to start a coalition/gathering of classic gamers in the Silicon Valley so feel free to contact me. I live in San Jose.

Howdy VGM, welcome to our little slice of the Internet. I'm sure some of the fellas here will be interested in your customization work.

Hey Guys! I'm Mitsuo Excel and I have been collecting video games for quite awhile now. I collect mostly Japanese imports and I have been studying the Japanese language for 3 years.
I am happy to be a member of this site!

Hey MitsuoExcel glad to see im not alone in joining.
hope you have fun. So do you collect only VGs?

I mostly collect Japanese Video Game Systems rather then games (but only if a game is good, yes, Dicing Knight, I'm looking at you)
