Intro thread

Hwody. 

I've been looking for something to catalog my collection for a while, so I was excited to com across vgcollect.  I'm about half way through adding my collection.  When I discovered ebay in 1999 I went on a purchasing spree, that is where most of my hardware came from.  Sense then I usually just buy games I want to play.  My boys (10 and 8 ) like to hit the pawn shops with me hunting for new games. I tend to prefer cartage based system, for me there is more nostalgia in the cartridges than in CDs and digital downloads (although I have plenty of those too). My favorite systems are probably 5200, NES, Genesis, N64 (those are the ones I  had when I was younger, so of course I like those ones). I also have a pretty sweet Mame cabinet (if I do say so myself) I built about 8 years ago. I love to see the kids (and their dads) reaction when they see it.

Look at me, I'm rambling...

Nice to see another arcade builder. I've also built my own arcade machine. And I have a bar top and another in the works!

Hello, I'm Cloggedone. I know about this site through 2 of my online friends who go here, one going under the name "exonerator", and I forget what my other friend goes under. I am interested into anime, videogames, the internet, and computers. My favorite anime is Naruto or Bleach, depending on what point you want to take. I like mostly simulation games, I'm addicted to playing SimCity 4 (yeah I'm addicted to a near 10 year old game LOL). If you have any good games to suggest, tell me!

Hello everybody,

New to the site and wanted to introduce myself.  I've been a big video game fan ever since playing Super Mario Bros. on my brothers Nintendo and have been playing ever since.  Currently I only have my PS3 since my other systems and games are in my parents attic somewhere and I haven't dug them out.
