[Patrick]

Hi there, my name's Patrick and I'm from South-East England. I've played games nearly all my life, but never considered myself a collector until recently. It started a couple of years ago, when my mother picked up a huge collection of boxed Game and Watches for under a tenner from a house clearance. Of course, she didn't tell me about them until she'd sold them for a substancial amount on eBay. The more games I play, the more I forget about the Game and Watches, which is more than a good enough reason to collect as many as I can.

Hello everyone, i'm Antonio i live in the netherlands and mine greatest hobby (as i like to call it) is gaming and collecting games. I have somwhere near the 380 games (the gba gb etc not included) and it's still growing like crazy. |D

Sometimes i get lot's of games in and sometimes i just take a break to test/play a game.

Since last year i'm also heavly investing time into sega stuff (got a dreamcast, saturn and megadrive  ) i now already have about forty dreamcast games,twenty saturn games and about fifteen megadrive games (including 32x and megacd of course).

Mine favourite console would be the N64 because i've got good memory's about that console and i then got really good games like: Zelda orcania of time (got to play this one again sometime) Banjo kazooie/tooie and a bunch of other games who are all classic's in mine eyes.

My first ever games machine was a commodore C64.... I was addicted to Flimbos Quest. And ive been atticted to gaming ever since. I like to think i have quite a large and varied collection of consoles and games from across the ages.

My favorite console of all time has to be Segas Dreamcast. What am amazing piece of technology.. Better graphics than the PS2 by miles and a great assortment of games.

I am currently running a bring back the dreamcast campaign. ... Funnily enough www.lik-sang.com still publish games for DC... Thank god someone has some sense  . I love to sit down and chat about games and consoles. I am on MSN messenger ad me if you want to chat or just pick my brains LOL

Hi. My name is Pamela. I live in Cincy, OH. I found this site through Nep who is a good friend of mine. I was introduced to video games by my older and younger brother at an early age. I have regained an interest in video games for the sake of history and entertainment. Here is a photo of our second game system..

Hi,everyone.
I'm Andy, 24, from Accrington, which is a small town in North West England. Everyone on here from England will know where it is through a relatively infamous milk advert ran on TV about 15 years ago.

I work in a lovely warehouse selling toilet rolls and other exciting items of cleaning goods, I do the stock control and purchasing which passes the day.

I've been collecting for about as long as I've been gaming which is probably around 18 years, and I've amassed a collection of about 400 games across about 12 systems. I get most of my items from E-bay and there is no particular system I focus on and buy across the board, snapping up anything I see which appears cheap.

Besides gaming I'm a big footy (soccer) fan and go to most Burnley games home and away. This is another hobby, which enjoys taking money off you quite quickly.

I've only ever traded one game in which was WWF Wrestlemania on SNES which I swapped for Super Smash TV.

Anyway I've signed up for this website as I feel I can help a lot with the scans for the PAL side of things, as all of the games I own are PAL and 95% of them are complete (boxed with book).

Hello, all.  I'm Chris and I'm 28 yrs. old.  I am from Racine, WI but am currently living in West Allis.  I am getting married on November 4th,  2006 to my beautiful fiance', Jill.  I collect anything but I'm partial to the older stuff.  I've been mostly collecting for the NES and am getting close to 300 games.  I have over 1,000 unique games and over 15 unique consoles.  This site is a hoot and I enjoy it alot.  Keep up the good work!

Hi, I'm Thomas, 23, from MUnchengladbach ('bout 100 km north-west of Cologne) in Germany. I study linguistics at the University of Duesseldorf.
I grew up with the first generation of modern consoles (NES & GameBoy that is) and kept up with Nintendo and Sega; primary collecting their games and consoles.
However, I'M open for multi-platform and don't say no to a good PS2-game either.

My collection has just passed the 100 games mark, most of them SNES. I used to have more, but sold them at the age of (about) 15.

Hi, I'm Josh.  Some of you may recognize me from HardcoreGaming.org (where I'm an admin), Digital Press, and/or CheapAssGamer.

I'm 23 and live in Portland, OR.  I have an NES, SNES (my favorite console of all-time), Genesis, N64, PS2, Gamecube, and a GBA SP.  I own over 400 games and there's a link to a list of the games I own for each of these systems in my signature if you want to check it out.

Anyways, this seems like a cool place.  I don't know why I didn't check it out before, but better late than never, right?

Keep on gaming!

Hello, my name's Kevin.  I'm 21, I've been collecting video games since the late 90s and have tried to collect all of the games that I remember playing as a kid (but of course, finding new... "distractions" along the way).  I'm currently a junior college student here in the Bay Area of California (getting ever closer to San Francisco, actually).  I collect mostly for my NES and my NGPC when I can find them in the wild, but mostly it's for current-gen games that are easy to pick up.  At the moment, the count is at 20 systems (if you count my FamiClone because I have FamiCom games for it) and nearly 750 different titles.

I'm also a writer, working on my own video game project in my spare time named Majestic Games, the whole object of which is to give information to any newer gamers about the hobby and even where to find the games they might be looking for.  I update it when I can.

[Mezmoron]

Hey everyone!  My name is Ken.  I'm 24, nearly 25, and I, like all of you, love video games.  I've only been collecting for about 6 months.  Right now I'm only going after Nintendo NES, but I hope to get them all!

I'm getting married in July on the 8th.  I live in State College, PA, which is where Penn State University is. (Go JOE PA!)  We just bought a house together and we're loving it.  I work for Cingular Wireless, so if anyone needs help, I can do my best :-P  

Anyways, can't wait to talk to you all sometime and thanks for allowing me to share in the community!

Ken
