Hello everyone! Been enjoying this site for a few months now and thought i'd introduce myself.
My name is Scott and i'm 31 years old. Been playing video games for a good portion of my life (first system was an Intellivision back in '83). I've just recently got back into collecting for the older systems again and this website and the wealth of information in these forums has helped me a lot. :)

My name is Raven, I am a 16 year old, I love Macs because they just work, I play piano as a hobby, and I was recently introduced to retro games by a good friend. I am a huge Tom Clancy fan, especially Splinter Cell. I have an XBox 360 and a Wii (I never play it though). I do have a Steam account and adore Valve games. I have a wide collection of 360 games that I play and I beat every game I own eventually.
Great to see fellow musicians

hey everybody,

I am a 36 year old, video game fanatic. Many would consider me a gamer, I have issues with that, I see myself more as a passionate of the gaming industry. I am amazed at what it has accomplished, and the evolution it went trough. Don't get me wrong, I love to play, but I will spend more time searching, collecting and tweaking stuff.

My name is Steeve

thank you for this awesome site.

Ok here it goes!

Hi I am MrAfterFx. I have decided to join the racketboy forums after hearing some nice things about it from Bacteria (I am a member of the MBB forums). I'm big on console modding and portablization. I also love to create custom artwork such as the one for my signature and don't mind making signatures for other members here. I hope you find me to be a reliable member and a great contributer to your forums :). I come here with full respect for other members and their opinions so you don't have to worry about me being a problem or me not being active.

Thank you ahead of time and I hope to learn more about retro gaming and try my best to help others aswell!

Hello everyone!

I am 24 years old and attending my last semester of college for a BA in Creative writing. I will eventually go into an MAT program in education.

When I was VERY young, I played pacman on my fathers Atari 2600. It was not until the Christmas of 93 that I opened my first console, the Sega Genesis. I played the Lion King until my thumbs were sore, and to be honest, I have never stopped.

Of course, the Sega was packed away in a corner to make room for newer consoles like PS2 and eventually my Xbox 360. Several months ago, I was going through my stuff and pulled out ol' Genny. Curious, I hooked it up and realized that nothing beats it. Not even my 360 games keep my attention the way it still does.

I now also own an FC mobile 2 in order to play some Nintendo games that I never owned when I was young.

Other than gaming, I enjoy horseback riding for the most part.

I am happy I found this site and can't wait to spend more time with everyone!
