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!

Nice to have guys!

Kev, have you been to Momocon in Atlanta? Fastbilly1 puts together a mean Retro Gaming room there and I was able to stop by last year. I also plan on being their next year as well.

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.

.

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.
