New Members: Introduce Yourself!

[Bradtemple87]

Hey everybody! I'm a 32 year old divider-and-conquerer of the weak and the poor who enjoys 95% retro-gaming, 50% of the time (no PS3, 360 or Wii in this household)! I also have a sweet gf who likes some of the older stuff along with me, but she more or less just puts up with my habit. I do have to admit though; as much as I like gaming, I enjoy movies more. In the few hours that I do get for spare time, I also like music production, martial arts and holding my cats in diabolical ways!

Glad to have you

I always love seeing more audioheads. I have a huge movie collection myself and have been a student at Ralph Gracie Brazilian Jiujitsu for over 2 years.

Welcome to racketboy! I am going to steal your sentence and tell the boyfriend to hold me in "diabolical ways."

Welcome! I'm a 20 year-old student from Poland. Used to frequent this site and the board for a long time but registered just today. I play video games for longer than I can remember, my oldest memory is when I was 4 and my dad asked me if I want the NES, in particular one of it's clones called "Pegasus" as the original one wasn't sold here, or Amiga, to which I replied "Pegasus, because it has Mario!", which means I already knew what it was. Few years later I got the Sega Saturn (still with me today), and finally the PS2, which I play the most and keeps me from jumping onto the next-gen (though I play new games on PC, but rarely), also got the GBA last year. I considered buying a PS3 or X360 like 3 times already but eventually decided I'd rather spend that money on older games, which I find somehow more interesting (and cheaper ).

Hey guys, just joined here, thought I'd come in and say hello. I've been on shmups forum for a bit, and just recently (within the past year or so) got back in to game collecting

Favorite genres would be Shmups, RPGs, Beat 'em Ups, and Platformers, mostly from the 16-32 bit 2D era, although I'll play anything if its fun

I also just posted my Buy/Sell/Trade list in the corresponding thread, so hopefully I'll be getting to know some of you soon!

G-Darius is awesome. I always hear people rave about Darius Gaiden, which is also great, but I think G-Darius is still quite good. I love that every enemy is a different option, and the branching levels are always good for replayability

[bad_karma]

Hi everybody! I'm Bad Karma, although my parents named me different.
Apparently I joined a while ago and forgot, I signed up after ending up here about 100 random times for various reasons. I'm a total retro gaming geek, mostly NES, SNES, Saturn and PSX. I own more systems but that's mainly where my heart lies. I just recently discovered Supercade, an alternative to GGPO, and now I'm a total kid again, although I wish I was better at fighters
I'm glad to be here, as I've enjoyed every time I unwittingly lurked this board in search of gaming info.
Ta ta!

Hey there, I'm MagneticDestroyerX3, and I'm new here to the RacketBoy Forums.
I'm actually the same one from RetroJunk (decided to flee from there), as well as Nintendo Database and Hardcore Gaming 101's forums.

Game Systems I own: Atari 2600, NES, Sega Genesis, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Colour, Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo DS, and Wii.

I've been using RacketBoy.com for quite a while now and liked what I saw. Not to mention that I've learned a great deal on more elusive titles for the systems I own.

...and I'm more than glad to join here.
