My name is Josh and I turn 23 in about a month.

I don't believe I have formally introduced myself on these boards.  most people know me from digitpress, from selling games here and I have been in the collecting scene for nearly eight years (8 years this oct).  I just recently sold off my NES collection to travel to Africa for a month long internship.

Through my years of collecting I somewhat lost touch of the gaming aspect.  In the past three years I have done VERY little gaming, and a lot of collecting and reselling.  I am just about to start fresh and will begin collecting once school gets underway.    I have yet to decide what i will collect.  Something small to start with since my space is limited.  During this time I hope to get back into the gaming aspect and not so much the collecting. 

If you ever need a price check on a complete in box NES game, let me know and I will gladly help you out!

Hello my name is Ed and I'm from Indiana.  I've been around on other forums like AA and Mystery Manor for awhile.  New to this forum but loving every minute.  My favorite system probably would have to be the SNES.  I'm a big fan of rpgs and shooters and you cannot ask for a better system for em.

What is the address for Mystery Manor?  It sounds interesting and I'd like to check it out.  I found a mysterymanor.net but I can't click on anything.

Better late than never I guess.
The name is Cobra Blade,
a South Australian who loves any thing to do with the Sega Saturn!

As a result I have a huge Saturn collection.
Why the Saturn? Sega has been my long time fav, ever since I saw the SMS compared to the NES.
Plus I feel the Saturn is Sega's true moment of glory with true classics, plus nothing else felt so much like an actual arcade at home to me.

Hey guys,
My name is Mark and I'm 22 and a full time substitute teacher in a middle school about 7 miles outside of Boston.  I collect mostly NES games and systems, but branch off into many others.  This looked like a nice place to make some trades and buy and sell some games so I decided I may as well start an account, that and being able to sort my games with the collection tool is great.

Hi, my name is Clint.  I live in texas.  After noticing this thread I realized I'd not posted in it.  Most of my posts will generaly consist of games not currently in the collection database.  It's not that I dont enjoy making posts or reading them from fellow gamers, just that I'd perfer to play more games during my off time.  Hey, we do still play games remember?  I have too large a backlog to finish.  Sadly it's growing at an abnormal rate to the point I doubtfully will ever catch up.  I'm up to the challenge though.  I tend to lean twords the NES and SNES when it comes to systems of prefrence, but I collect anything that I can that interests me.  Well, thats me in a nutshell.

[Cambot]

You're not going to believe this, Fuyukaze, but my name is also Clint and I ALSO live in Texas. I'm from the Chicago area, but I currently live in Houston. Wierd, huh? Anyway, I love collecting and playing video games and have been doing so since we first got the ColecoVision in, I guess, 1983 or 84. I guess my all-time favorite system is a tie between NES and SNES, but the DS is creeping up there, as well.

So long for now.

Ok this is kinda odd, but my name is also Clint. I live in southern Illinois, close to St. Louis, MO.  I bought a Nintendo off EBay in 2004 and two games. Double Dragon 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3.  After playing those for awhile I got hooked again and started buying more NES games.
 Before I knew it I was buying SNES, Sega, and Playstation 2 games as well.  Now I just try to get anything I can afford to get. My wife and I don't have much money, but we both love to play games.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Wow, 3 Clints in a row. Now all we need is Eastwood.

[Tynstar]

Very very odd.

[Cobra]

One more and we should rename this from "Introduce yourself please" to "Is Your Name Clint?"

[Flack]

Wow, lots of familiar faces around here!

My name's Rob O'Hara, but some of you all know me as Flack. I'm pretty active over at Digital Press where I'm an admin/moderator, write a couple of different articles, and write reviews for both the electronic DP newsletter and their print zine. I'm also a regular at several other forums such as Atari Age, Lemon 64, Particles.org, and others.

I've been doing quite a bit of writing over the past year. I had three articles published in the O'Reilly book Retro Gaming Hacks, had several reviews published in Videogame Collector Magazine, and published my own first book, titled Commodork: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie.

When it comes to console games, I've got everything from the Atari 2600 to all the current-gen consoles hooked up. In our upstairs game room I pipe all my systems into a projector with an 8' screen and a surround sound audio system. My son LOVES gaming upstairs with me.

My other hobby is collecting coin-operated arcade games. At last count I had about twenty; some of my favorites include Gauntlet, Q*Bert, Shinobi, Karate Champ and Road Blasters. Oh, and my MAME machine, of course!

I think that about covers it. I'm always looking forward to kicking it with new friends!
