Hey Rick, this is a great place to start over again.

Here at RF Generation we like to be a team. Were not into out-doing each other, we just all have the same common interests. Thats why were here for ya.

Glad to see you have an interest in collecting, even if it may be a collecting hiatus you may have had. Theres always something about us that collects and loves the feeling about picking up games, be it big or small, it doesn't matter. It's all in what makes you happy as a collector.

Hey please do keep in touch with us here on the forums. Any post is great for the community and we look forward to hearing from you Banards.

Welcome Banards. I think Razor really stated everything well. Hope to see you on the forums.

Hey RF Generation community!

I found this site while googling video game collecting, and it looks like a stumbled on a great group of collectors.

Like many people, I had older generation consoles and games that eventually ended in Value Village donation boxes and now I've decided to rebuild my old library. I'm looking forward to some nostalgic gameplay and experiencing the titles that I missed out on.

Welcome aboard Fleach, you've definitely found the right place. Building that collection back from scratch can be really exciting, and there are a lot of great titles to be had a low prices.

Value Village you say? Are you from lovely Canada?

I too love to play games for their nostalgic values, they mean a lot to me.

But I do also like to play the games I missed out on back in the day. For me I feel like I never missed out on those games. I feel like playing a game you never played before, be it new or old generation games is still 'New' to me. Probably because I got past the whole graphics make the game phase.

Just because a game is old in time doesn't mean it cant have the new feeling to you. 

But I blab on.

But yes we are a great community and nice to see you consider ourself's as such. We are a great community indeed . But please do hang out with us on the forums. We love any input.

Welcome  Fleach.

Yep, I'm from Canada.

I agree that graphics aren't the most important aspect of a game. For me it's all about the story and the fun factor.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

We have those here in the States too--there's one just down the street from me--unless you meant something else, knowing he was from Canada beforehand that I don't know about.

Hi, I'm Ferg and I'm kinda old. I've been gaming since 1976 and collecting since 1995. In the last few years I started wondering what the heck I was doing with all of these games, so I started selling off stuff that I had no sentimentality about.  I am almost done with my selling and I feel much better. My main collection is the 2600, but I also sort of collect the NES, SNES and SMS. I have a complete US 7800 collection (except for the box and manual for Tank Command, dammit). I do not have any systems made by Sony or Microsoft. I am one of the few people on earth who cannot stand the Vectrex. I stumbled onto the podcast via Atari Age I think, and I am enjoying it very much. I was curious about the collection database that was mentioned on the podcast, so I took a look at it and realized that I had started cataloging my games here back in 2007, which is when I started to lose interest in collecting, so I never finished. Now it will be much easier to do with less games. If you don't want your heart broken then don't ask me what I sold off.

Welcome back.  I think alot of us have been through that at one time or another.

You'll love the database here and the community of people are awesome.

Sounds like you'll have a unique take on gaming/collecting and diversity is always welcome around here. Can't wait to hear why you dislike the Vectrex and dont own any Sony Consoles!

Hi. I have been into the retro scene for a while now, although I'm more of a gamer than a collector. Favourite systems would probably be the Sega Master System and the Super NES, but I tend to love just about anything pre-playstation one.

I have been looking around the internets lately for retro gaming communities but haven't found much yet.

See you all around the forums

Welcome to the site Munter. I'm with you I love pre-playstation systems.
