I've recently decided to jump back into retro video games after a long lay off. I've been looking for a community where I could call home (outside of reddit) and I think I found the place! In the past, I was an avid collector of all games from my childhood. I'm starting from a blank slate all over again, as I sold off my prior collection a few years back to help with a downpayment of a home. This time around, I'm looking to narrow in on Playstation One.
I hope to see all of you in the forums!
Cheers!

Welcome! I like your avatar :) I've been here for many years now and hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Do you think you'll focus on one genre of the PS1 or just generally all of them?

Thank you for the warm welcome! I really appreciate it. From the looks of it, I think I’ve found my new long term home. The community feels close and helpful. Huge qualities that I wanted in a forum. Not to mention a solid database to boot! For PS1, I plan on an array of games. I’m going to be focusing on my childhood games first. Once I have those, I’ll probably focus on the horror and rpg genres.

Nice! Yeah, my collecting started with gathering up items I remembered fondly from childhood. Now that I think about it, I think my first eBay purchases were to replace games that had been stolen, so maybe that's how it all started, ha. There are quite a few horror and RPG fans here, so I think you'll have good company :)

I really wish I could remember what kickstarted my collecting. I already had a moderate sized collection before I had graduated college.

I'd tinkered with buying old games before, but for me it seriously began from a desire to delve into the Sega CD. I wasn't playing modern games at all at this point. It was 09, and the last I had played was PS2. At flea markets then, stuff was so cheap I figured I'd start picking up anything that looked good and it went from them there. But I'd say even then, YouTube is primarily what inspired me.
