I've been luring around here a while and finally decided to sign up.

I have been a gamer ever since I was very young in the late 80s. I grew up playing the NES, then the SNES, N64, PSX, and so on and so forth. I am now married and recently had my first child and I continue to feed my gaming and retro game collecting obsession. :)

I current boast a collection 70+ NES, 110+ N64, 20+ SNES, 20+ Genesis games as well as many others from various systems. I am always looking to buy, trade, and sell to get what I want.

I am from Michigan and started up a small trading group for fellow residents of the mitten: http://www.facebook.com/groups/1447206008888857/

I look forward to conversing with all of you. Take care!

HOOORAY! Add another Michigander to the list of Racketboy members. Take that world! It is a delight to have made your acquaintance good sir and will gladly be joining your group (only because you are from Michigan you charming son of a bitch you!).

When we talk about what you want...what in your collection is your gem? I see that N64 seems to be the largest of your collections. Is that because of ease to collect or is there a love for the N64?

I myself am a huge collector on the sega side of the spectrum, with VERY special places in my heart for Sega CD, Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. Although many other systems are in my repertoire, those three systems are the apples of my eye....and the Virtual Boy, because no one else will love that poor mistreated child!

Anywho... Welcome once again! We are talking a bit about a Michigan get together and tend to have Ann Arbor as our big focus thanks to Pinball Pete's so keep your eyes peeled!

Welcome aboard Marty! I see you got yourself a Neo Geo AES there. any particular games you enjoy on the system? Out of your collection, what games do you have the most fun with; new or old systems, it doesn't matter.

Hey thanks, :D Yeah I play all of my Neo games regularly but my fav's are Blazing Star, GunLord, Sonic Wings 2, Mutation Nation, Slug 2 & 3. I would half to say my old systems I have the most fun with. But, I really do enjoy a lot of my 360 stuff. One particular 360 game that I was addicted to for months at a time was E.D.F. 2017 could not stop until I got the Genocide gun unlocked lol.

Hey!

I am 23 years old. I work as an game/app developer in Sweden. One of my major interests is gaming. I'm also a huge fan of collecting games, mostly Nintendo retro games (Gamecube,N64,SNES,...). One of my favorite games is: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GameCube).

Have just released my first iOS-app, Collector - Your game collection , do you need help keeping track of your game collection? Check it out =)


and of course, I LOVE to program! :D
