Hi everyone!

I am completely new on this website. I am 19 years old and I am living in The Netherlands.
This year I started my collection of retro consoles and games. I don't have very many at this moment but I am waiting for some beautiful offers. I put my collection on my profile including photos, so take a look. If you have some questions or whatever you can always contact me via a pm.

Hello! I'm a relatively new collector mainly for Nintendo console stuff really but also a bit of Mega Drive/PS2. I'm currently focusing on Wii (at about 97 games at the moment) since I'm only 11 games from having every Nintendo published title but then I'll probably go back to retro stuff for a while. I've been lurking around the site for a while now so I'm ooking forward to joining in!

Sorry for the late introduction, been hanging about around the forum for a few weeks now! I'm more of a modern video gamer and collector than a retro collector. However I have been playing video games since the late 70's,pong was one of the first games I was introduced to but things have changed a lot since then! ;) I later progressed to my first real gaming home computer the ZX spectrum and commodore 64. These were later replaced with amiga 500 and Nes,Snes generation video games systems. I no longer play or own any of these items but still do dabble with beloved games through emulation. These days I mainly collect handheld consoles as they appeal to the gadget guy in me......LOL

I have a large playstation portable collection with over 700 UMD's and 10 consoles and a few promo items and I have recently started collecting for playstation Vita. I also spend a lot of time on another collecting site just for playstation collectors,suppose you could say I'm a real Sony fan boy. I don' t mind it's all true! :D

Hello all.
Nice site u have here so I have decided to join u on the forums.
I have been into gaming since the late 70s and have owned loads of systems over the years but still own and collect for the c64 and the Amiga. Currently toying with the idea of getting into CD32 collecting or maybe Atari Jaguar.
Still play modern games and just got an iPad and looting the free apps on the store.

Hello there!

My name is Ivan and I'm from Russia - 'small' country between Europe and Asia. You probably know that we live here with bears, drink vodka everyday and wear cap with ear-flaps. So, I'm another 3DO collector and I collect sealed 3DO games. Why 3DO? Hmmm... I think it was unique console for 1990th, even more interesting than Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation and others. Unfortunately it lived for a short time and most games are garbage, but I love it, cause it's my first game system.

Yo!

Name's Ken and I'm from Scotland. Not much of a retro games collector when compared with just about anyone here, but I've always had an interest in rare gaming curios from yesteryear (and more recently, too!). Most collectable things I have amongst my games is a promo PAL copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence and a copy of Phantasy Star Online Plus for the GameCube. Not much, I know, but treasured none-the-less. :D

Look forward to chatting to y'all!

Hello there! You don't by any chance know somebody called Ryu by any chance? Just, I saw him down by the docks one time? He was in some sort of dispute..... :lol:

Welcome aboard, would be good to know how stuff like the 3DO were sold in Russia, were they officially released there or did you get a Dendy 3DO ;)

I have to say I do not! Although I do appreciate being associated with Ryu rather than a certain female doll by Mattel. :P

Hi, I stumbled across the site by accident and think it looks great so I thought I'd register. I'm from the UK and have been collecting for about 10 years on and off. I'm currently more into collecting different systems but do still pick up some games (to go with said systems). Having a young family does eat into a lot of potential game time but I do my best!!

Looking forward to participating more.

Hi, been brwosing this site for a little while now, but finally decided to join today (been meaning to for a while). Always been a a bit of Nintendo devotee, and had gathered a bit of a collection naturally over the years, but recently I suppose I've started to make collecting a bigger part of my gaming interest.

The amount I buy has certainly increased lately, thanks mosty to the encouragement of my girlfriend, who also collects stuff (though she's more SEGA-orientated) :?
