Hello all. I'm Anthony.
I'm a graphic designer and web developer in training. I was just about to try programing something to catalog my collection when I found this place through /r/gamecollecting.
I collect just about anything from the NES on (I'm not really into the old atari and computer stuff). I worked at a video game store for about three years and I'm currently working at another video game store that was just opened by my friend, who was the manager at the other store. I'm also just now getting really interested in collecting arcade games and I have a MAME cabinet project in the works.
I love what I've seen of the site so far and I'm really looking forward to seeing it grow.

Welcome! I'm also into graphics, mostly self taught, though I did go to college for it for a bit. Things came up, long story, blah blah. I've also built my own MAME cab from scratch. It's a great project, I'm sure you'll have fun working on it.

Guess it's about time I posted in here. My name is David. I'm a commodities trader by profession and I collect for anything NES and up. The NES was my first console when I was young and my collecting began several years ago when I was on a nostalgia kick. I've always played games but didn't become a serious collector until about 3 years ago. I really enjoy modding/hacking any little electronic device I can, systems included. Most of the systems I have have been modified in some way. I probably should have chosen a degree in computer science or engineering while I was in school but my job pays the bills and I enjoy going to work so I can't really complain.
I have had the desire to build a MAME cab for several years. Guess I need to get on that soon so I can be one of the cool kids!

@darko: I've two empty cabinets sitting here ready to be redone (one for MAME, the other was originally Street Fighter II so is slated to be restored) so that I can be one of the cool kids too!
