Introduce yourself!

[ninjabearhug]

Hello there,

Cauterize sent me an invite so I thought I'd come over and see what all the fuss is about . It's actually a good site for me to be joining as I'm just about to venture into the world of NES/SNES games (for the 3rd time...) and I deleted all my old lists .

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Stew, 30, West Yorks UK. I'm an absolute Sega freak and am aiming for one of every Sega PAL game released for all the Sega consoles (yes, Pico too), including any PAL box/cartridge variations. I also collect console variations, in particular SMS/MD as they are my favourite consoles . I'm 3 games off a complete PAL SMS set and I'm working on a full MD set but I keep getting sidetracked :p.

[The Angry Jock]

I'm sure a few of you guys recognise my name from RG

I am a Jock who lives in the heart of Jockland.

I have a complete NGPC collection and currently working towards a full GC set, this will take some time though. I also have a substantial percentage of both the N64 & DC catalogue but I can't see me finishing the N64 one, not really fully engaged with the DC either

I'd like to contribute to the database with reviews/synopsis and that sort of gubbins once it's sorted/I'm motivated

[nokgod]

Ello all, another regular from the RG forum here, come to see what the site is like.

Just exploring, but i like what i see. Good work fellas. Long may it continue!

My gaming interests are similar to AJ above, NGPC (just missing the box and instructions for Pocket Reversi ) for a full set. Also looking to get a full PAL GC set. Long way to go there though. Other systems i collect for are Gameboy (in all it's many guises) and SNES.

Currently losing interest in my Atari 2600 which is a shame, but i'm just not feeling the love at the moment.

Got a couple of current gen systems (Wii, PS3), but they always take a backseat to retro.

Hi im Joe (Joey on the RG forum)

I collect for the Famicom and own a black Twin Famicom. I also collect for the PSP, currently on about 70 games, and have recently started buying Jap games for it.

I have 2 Steel battalion set ups (both versions) and also play alot of current gen stuff on 360/PS3.

[GMass]

Hello I'm GMass. I'm another jock but this time from the capital of the Highlands

I hang around NTSC-UK and Rllmukforum.

My retro gaming interests are purely associated with the Sega Dreamcast (150+ games) and hope to contribute to the games database in this regard.

Hi everybody.

I'm dste from RG which is where I came here from.

At the moment I'm collecting for the Cube and would say that I'm about 15-20 games from completing a collection that I'm happy with.

My all time favourite console is the SNES which I've had since release date and also really love the Dreamcast.

Heh, looks like we have pretty similar interests. I once was on my way to a full SNES set, have stopped because of financial reasons. I'm still going for a full Cube set though and my Dreamcast set is only missing one game which I'll hopefully get in January!

Welcome aboard anyone, it's great to have you all here. Let's make this a great community together

[dste]

I know what you mean, the price of SNES games can be rather high especially as I have to go for complete games. At some point next year I'm going to go back to collecting for it but I know that it will be a lot harder to pick up games than for the Cube.

I admire people who go for full sets (like nokgod and Angry Jock) with the Cube but personally I just go for the games I want. I just don't have the space nor inclination to own games that I will most likely never play.

What game are you missing for the Dreamcast?

[hydr0x]

Yeah, I collect CIB only so SNES is a bit pricey right now. The dreamcast game I'm missing is Samba de Amigo

[dste]

Ah, I can see why that is the last game you need to get.

[hydr0x]

Ah, I can see why that is the last game you need to get.

Yup, never had the money really but I'll hopefully get it early next year. Would be my first complete collection so I'm quite looking forward

[Tyron]

I'm Tyron, from the RetroGamer forum. Here to support Adam, and hopefully to contribute! Am going for a complete PAL Gameboy collection - original at the moment but I do branch out to GBC and GBA when I see a bargain!

[Tepid Snake]

Nice to see a few RG forumites over here!

Might as well introduce myself as well. I'm Tepid Snake from the Retro Gamer forums, and I was asked to contribute to RetroCollect by writing reviews, which I've been doing for a few weeks now (under the name Ant Cooke). Hopefully I'm doing a decent job. I also have my own little website which you can find in my signature.

I collect mostly for the Mega Drive (my favourite console), Game Boy, Playstation 1 & 2 and Saturn, but I'll play anything once (except JRPGs, unless they're short and sweet). The more bizarre a game, the better! However, I'm not dedicated enough to go for a complete collection for any console- I'd never have time to play them all!

[Skull Commander]

Howdy. I mainly kick about the NTSC-UK forums, but I do post on others including Retro Gamer.

I play retro and modern games and have a sizeable collection spanning serveral consoles from the PC Engine up to the Xbox 360.

Well good luck in getting it.

[Aztecca]

Howdy i am Arron from the heart of England(Birmingham) also on the RG forum regularly.At the mo i am trying to get a full PAl xbox collection and currently have 700+ PAL games for xbox.

[suzzopher]

Hi, new around here. Great site by the way.

I am Chris 31 years young/old. And I am from Cambridge. I am a huge SEGA and Nintendo fan, having separated parents as a child meant a console at each home, so every cloud and all that

I sold my entire retro collection back in 2005 when I had to move to a smaller place, so have recently started to re-collect SNES/Super Famicom, Game Boy and SEGA Saturn.

Hope to stick around here, place seems just like what I was looking for.

[Liamh1982]

Hi, another regular from the RG forum here.
I'm Liam, 28 from Wrexham.
My first console was a Philips VideoPac - retro even in '88! Since then I've built up a sizable collection but I've got to say the Saturn's my favourite console, even though my favourite game is Super Mario World.
<A fair reflection of what I look like, only I have more hair.

[hydr0x]

Videopac, eh? I own the french version of that (damn, forgot to mention in my system list..) with a few games. I'd love to get it into our database, shouldn't be that hard actually, not too many games and mostly well documented
