The holy grail for me would to be able to find a Gamate Compact Video Game System. Games are not so great, but the handheld collector in me needs this :twisted:

I just got myself a Hartung Game Master and a Hartung SuperVision so I can certainly understand this. A Gamate would be a nice one to have :)

Hi, I'm Cass and I was pointed here by a friend's blog on GameSpot.

As a long-time NES fan, I have longed for a PAL-centric retro resource for many years. Sifting through the same archaic US 8-bit fansites gets a bit old... but finally, a decent PAL site appears. Everything here looks great and I'm looking forward to getting to know some more local gamers and collectors. My collecting habits cover the whole spectrum of gaming, from Channel F to Xbox 360, consoles and computers, so I have no doubt I'll find plenty here to keep me occupied!

P.S. Unlike most of you guys, I'm afraid I don't hang out at the RetroGamer forums. I am an avid reader of the mag, though! :D

SuperVision hasn't arrived yet unfortunately (wheather) but here's the Game Master.

Welcome to the site, it's great to see collectors gettin here from outside the RG forum ;) I hope you'll enjoy the site, even if it doesn't have a Channel F list yet ;)

A Channel F list wouldn't be that long, would it?

26 original Fairchild releases, plus several European variants from companies like SABA and Luxor. Not that long a list at all, which is why I'm hoping to track down the whole lot eventually. The games are nearly all terrible, but the console is at least a little piece of history and a nice conversation item.

Hello everyone, I've been here for a while but only just getting around to posting in this thread. :oops:

I'm Joe, and I'm a Sega fan-boy. My first console was the Master System which I loved but it was playing Sonic 2 that turned me into a gamer. I've only been collecting retro stuff for about two years now after finding a copy of Retro Gamer Magazine, having all the memories brought back, and really wanting to play those games again. I jumped on eBay, bought myself a MDII and a few games and I've not looked back.

I also have a Dreamcast which I play off and on, but my favorite is the Mega Drive. No other console matches up to it for me.While I play the DC periodically it's the MD that always pulls me back.

Loving the site, loving everyone's photos and I'm looking forward to more retro conversation.

Cheers.

Hello people, sent here via Retrogamer and Darran. Looks a cracking site so far, will get into looking through it all soon.
My main gaming area is PS2 with a lot of PS1 in backup. Do a little online with the 360 and my retro comes in the form of the PSP emulators where I am mostly playing the holy grail of gaming, the SNES.

:D

Hi!

I'm Martin, heard about the site from boards.ie, more of a browser than a poster! Mainly a cube collector (didn't realise there was so many!?), just a few games off a set I'd be happy with and might try for boxed versions of all console variants. Dabble with everything RPG related too! Nice seeing some of all the collections...!

Hey, another cube collector :) Welcome to the board. Yeah, there's more cube games than most think due to some games being exclusive to continental Europe. I just crossed the 200 barrier so I'm about halfway through with a full set :) Good luck with yours
