How did you find out about Racketboy?

Post by avrame »

Might be hard for some users to remember why they stumbled on this site to begin with, but anyone care to share their story?

For me, I bought a modchip for my saturn some 2 years back from the racketboy store. A year later, I was going over my Paypal receipts after a ebay payment went sour (unauthorized credit card charges anyone?), and asked myself "What the hell is Racketboy?".

Joined the site after reading a few articles, did a few trades, haven't regreted it yet :P
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

I honestly wish I could remember, I think it was just one of those days I was googling around for some classic gaming sites, maybe for shmups, and I think I stumbled upon some of the articles and pretty much instantly fell in love with it.

Researching about Dreamcast games, as I had recently bought one on Craigslist. Signed up almost half a year later though :(

Both from Google looking for retro gaming sites, and also from Retro Gamer forums.

I met Racket on Emuasylum many many years ago, then he showed up in my town.

I was trying to find out about unusual games for different systems and the Hidden Gems articles came up on a google search. I loved those articles and I still refer back to them every once and awhile to see if there are any games I'm still missing out on. I lurked the forums for a few months until I felt I had a sense of the climate here, then I joined and have been posting like mad ever since.
My contributions to the Racketboy site:
Browser Games ... Free PC Games ... Mixtapes ... Doujin Games ... SotC Poetry

I stumbled upon RB around '07 I think it was. I was just looking up stuff like "best Genesis games" or whatever and found all the guides here. I decided to keep reading and I eventually joined the forums here.

Same as probably most users here, the site just kept popping up whenever I did Google searches for retro-game related things, be it the articles or threads on the forums.
