[Damaramu]

Hello folks!

My name is Danny and some of you might know me from the DP boards, under the same name (Damaramu, not Danny).

Here's a few facts:

I'm about to turn 30 in 4 days.

I've been actively rebuilding the game collection I had when I was in my early teens (that's lotsa Genesis/Snes games, pal.) I hope to add TG16/TurboDuo stuff to the collection down the road.

Overall my game collection is modest, but it's stuff I like and play.

I recently purchased a GBA SP2. I love that damned thing and I've been picking up GBA games like a madman.

That's really all there is at the moment! Maybe I'll see you here in the forums!

[JWKobayashi]

Hello all.

My name is Josh and I currently live in Roscoe, Illinois... which is about an hour west of Chicago.  I'm 21 and am working as the sole member of the IT department at a non-profit organization.  I am also attending school full time in order to get my bachelor's degree in computer science. I'm married with two dogs.

I found out about this site while posting over at Digital Press.  I've been a member there for a few years and would like to expand my horizions a bit.

I began my career as a game player at 4 years old on the NES.  Since then, I've played just about every system out there (with a few exceptions).  I began a bout with collecting in 2002, but then stopped and sold about 75% of my stuff for cash when I moved in with my girlfriend (now wife).

Now I'm a better financial position and have slowly began to collect once again.  Currently my favorite system is the DS - I play the thing all the time.  All time favorite would have to be SNES though.

Anyway, thanks for providing what looks to be a great community.

[Dev1anc3]

I suppose I should post here... and stuff.

Hello peoples. My name is Brian. I'm 27, and I live near Charlotte, NC. I've been gaming since I was 4, and still have my original 2600 and all of my games, so I guess you could say I've been collecting for about 23 years.
I try to keep my collection well rounded, but it still mostly consists of Nintendo and Sega items.

I'm a huge Castlevania freak, and own ALL of the US Castlevania releases CIB (minus Curse Of Darkness and Dawn of Sorrow), and am starting to work on getting the import versions.

[muffins]

I'm Dan

I was born and grew up (and still currently reside) in Maine.

I'm 17, as a Junior I am graduating early in June 2006.  I am moving 5 days later to Florida where I will attend the college Full Sail for Video Game Development.

My first gaming system that I have memories of is my NES (which at the time was my brother's).  I still have my NES, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, and original Nintendo Game Boy.  I gave my N64, SNES, and Sega to my sister to have in college.  

I love gaming, always have, and have a lot of ideas for what I will do once in the gaming industry.  I am here to make friends that share a common interest in games and just have fun Please feel free to IM me on AIM, e-mail me, or pm me here

[PapaStu]

Hey all,

My name is Steve, but I get called Stu quite a bit.  I was looking for something on the frontpage of DP and found the link to RFgenertation and clicked over and decided to join.

I'm known primarily for my PlayStation collecting, being a variant whore and for being half of the US PSX editiors for Digital Press.  I've also got a hearty PS2, DC, XB, GC and a good number of games for a few other systems.  Hopefully I can help out and learn some new stuff here.

[tommyg]

Hi everyone,

My name is Tom (some of my friends call me Tommy). I  just turned 30 this past November , and I have played video games on and off ever since the Atari 2600 days. It was the first sysem I had and although my dad had some old system which had pong type games and a skeet shooting. I don't remember the name of that system . Anyway the Atari was what everyone had back then and I was able to play both the Colecovision adn Intellivision over at friend's houses. I loved the old atari and got many many miles out of itt, but even then kids were not foolish, so when the Nintendo launched back in 85 I had to get ahold of those real arcade graphics! I got the system with the zapper and ol ROB the robot.  

Those were my first two systems and they will forever hold a special place in my heart . They make up the bulk of my "collection" which I started a few years ago mostly trying to recapture the days of old.

I did have a sega Genesis at the end of the run and then I bought a playstation and a nintendo 64 in college the last two I still have. I have since bought a sega genesis and a master system, a couple of super NES, a toploader NES, and a few Atari systems.

I also own an X-box, a Gamecube, and my girlfriend and I have his and hers Game Boy Advance SPs (classic Nes version naturally)

When I am not collecting or playing my games I also like to work out, play basketball, I'm learning how to golf (slowly) and I also love to watch movies (especially martial arts) as I was a cinema major for a while in college.

I have worked in IT as a tech support guy and as a web/graphic design guy, and I still work on some things for money and as a hobby, but for now I am working  with kids as a behavioral specialist to pay the bills while my gf finishes her nursing courses.

Some people might say I am a video game addict or think I am nuts with all the games I have. Well much like I am not an alcoholic, but merely a beer enthusiast, I am also a video game enthusiast. I am happy to have found a place to be at home amongst other  gaming enthusiasts!

[bickman2k]

Well, let's see here.
My name is Adam. I am 22 years old, married, and just had a baby boy on the 8th. I have been gaming since I can remember and have since started collecting. Right now, I am majoring in Computer Forensics to hopefully get a job in some sort of law enforcement (even though most of the digital crimes have already been committed by me . Hopefully I will get to know you all a little bit.

[Cecil]

Heya,

I either go by Cecil, or Borman, either or is fine. I live in Orange County NY :O New York!  heh. Im currently reworking my collection. Right now, im interested in rarer items, or Japanese counterparts, such as Famicom/Super Famicom. Also, arcade stuff of course. Ill post pictures of my rare crap eventually

[InvadErGII]

Hello.

My name is Erik, but people call me all sorts of things. Some of you may know me as 'pacmanhat' on Digital Press, a name I would change if I could.

I got fed up with IGN's constantly changing collection nonsense, so here I am. So...yeah. Hooray.

[segasimon]

Hi my name is simon, live in san diego ca, 26 married, with two cats and an obsesion for genesis. Decided the other day to join RF gen and add all my games to my collection so i can keep better track of what i have.
Also maybe trade or meet people with the same intrests.

[Joker_T]

Hello everyone.

I'll be honest the real reason I came to RF is the same as InvadErGII, because IGN's collection system has been redone and I hate it.

I just got into collecting and own around 230 games, not much I know but I hope to build on it.

I am an active member on the digital press forums as Joker T aswell if anyone is intrested.

[snes_collector]

As with other people, I joined because of the changes made to IGN's game list page. Nevertheless, I hope to have fun at this forum.

And some of you may also know me from DP.
