Hi all
I registered to this site on October 2009 and used it mainly to keep a list of my collection. My name is Carlos J., 31 years old from Puerto Rico. I currently work in a very high profile software company (
hint hint) as a manager of digital services customer support. Gaming is one my strong hobby.
I started gaming back at 1989 (
or 1988... can't remember lol). My favorite genres at that time were platforms, adventure and action. Games like Mario, Mega Man, Kirby, Contra, Castlevania, etc...
Then in 1996 something happened. I bought Mario RPG on SNES from a sale in Blockbuster, complete in like-new condition for $12. I thought that the game was platform as well but I was wrong, it was something different from what I was used to play. I didn't knew what "RPG" was and got frustrated by the gameplay. Then some days later I gave it another try and this like I understood that I had to follow a "story" and do battles in a way that was alien to me. The story aspect is what hook me up to no end and this was beginning of my passion to RPGs and its sub-genres.
At this date my gaming collection is composed of 508 games with 5 more on the way. All physical. About 61% of my collection are RPG and Strategy. The focus of my collection is more quality than quantity though.
Some of the most notable things in my collection are:
Mega Man 7 SNES (complete)
Earthbound SNES (complete)
Aero Fighters SNES (cart only)
Chrono Trigger SNES (complete)
Ever 17: The Out of Infinity (complete)
Some of the last games I bought are:
(3DS) Cave Story 3D with holographic cover (
complete and like-new)
(3DS) Monster Tale (
new)
(DS) Advance Wars: Dual Strike (
complete, good condition)
(PC) Ever 17: Out of Infinity in English (
complete and like-new)
My interests are gaming (
duh..), anime (
good ones), music, astronomy, cars, technology and running.
