Hey, linked here through cheapassgamer.

I wanted to get my profile/collection off of IGN.

Hey, welcome to RFG. Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to our humble site, which is certainly anything but IGN.

It's good to see that word of RF Gen continues to spread.

Hey all, my name is Matthew, and I live in Ontario Canada. I'm 23 years old, married, and have been collecting games for the past 5-6 years or so. I don't have a huge collection, as I am pretty picky about the condition. For example, I don't like loose cartridges, I only buy CIB games that are in mint condition. I have no problem with loose carts, I just prefer complete games personally. 

I'm glad that there is a site like RFG out there, it's nice to see there are like-minded game collectors from around the world here. Hopefully I will have my whole collection listed here soon, I'm still in the process of organizing. About half my collection is up now, I'll take pictures when my organization process is complete.

Hello, my name is Jes and I'm addicted to video games and game collecting. (sounds of everyone chiming "Hello Jes...")

I've been collecting video games off and on for over ten years, though my collection was stolen a few years back (including Panzer Dragoon Saga and most of the TG16 CD Games  ) and I've just in the last few years gotten back to a 'respectable' collection (hopefully I'll get to replace PDS and some of the Duo Stuff one day...)

I live near Erie, PA and once ran a little mom and pop game chain called Endless Entertainment.  I now work a day or two a week at GameStop just to stay in touch with the industry (and discount.)  I mainly stay at home and raise my two sons, one of which is less than two weeks old

Still uploading my collection piece by piece, not looking forward to putting in all my NES/SNES/Gen stuff (my favorite part of my collection, and about 1800+ pieces together) but I'll get there, with time.

I'm not really a 'l33t' collector, as most of my cartridge collection is just the cart (good labels, of course) except Sega Gen, because those old plastic boxes actually last.  99.99% of my cd/dvd games are complete, though, and I've got a few nice additions I'm mildly proud of. 

Lots of peeps come and hang out at our pad and in any given weekend we'll tear up anything from pong to Halo.  We just play to have fun.  My gamertag is also Slackur, but due to the eratic nature of househusbandry, I have it set to "always appear off" so I can play for 15 minutes without responding to 20 messages 

Anyway, feel free to message me just to chat, though I can go for awhile without checking so please be patient

And as for pictures of my collection, while about 65% is out and on display, we're house hunting, so hopefully in another year or two we'll have a Room 'o' Doom to show off.  Someday...

Welcome  Matthew and Jes.
I hope you both enjoy your stay.
Go the C64 icon

[slackur]

Yeah, the good ol' C64 was the first game machine "ahem, computer" I cut my teeth on.  Nothing like a good game of Necromancer, Crossroads I and II, Threshold, BC Quest for Tires/Grog's Revenge, Sabotuer, Standing Stones, etc...ah, memories

[shaggy]

Hello to all the new people I missed.  Slackur, the C64 ruled!  I loved that system, err computer.  The Vic-20 is where I started out, though.  I love the 5 adventure games they had!

My name is Mike and I'm coming to you live from the province of Nova Scotia! I was originally born in New York State where I was brought up in a fairly conservative, anti-gaming family. However some of my fondest early memories are from visits to my Uncles where I would spend the entire visit on his NES. I wasn't allowed any games however, and remember hitting up classic games like RE Lee Civil War General and Lords of Magic in my youth (two of my favourite all time games)
Later on in my mid-teens, and when I was living Nova Scotia, I convinced my mother to let me purchase a Sega Genesis at a yard sale. Of course, I was hooked. After a half a year of excessive nagging, and money saving, I purchased my first new console, a beautiful PS2 slim. Even though newer games were fun, I found myself consistently downloading roms for old NES and SNES games, particuraly RPGs.
Now that I have moved out and started my first year of college, I have started collecting NES games. After a bit over a half a year of collecting, I now sport roughly 150 NES games. Currently my list is in semi-outdated state, but I have been meaning to, and will, update it and post it soon.
I look forward to trading and talking to you all, and hope I'll frequent this as much as nesforums!
Cheers from Nova Scotia,
Mike

Welcome to the site Mike!

I'm originally from Amherst and later Halifax myself and live in Saint John at the moment. Not an easy thing to be a game collector in this neck of the woods to be sure but we manage
