Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone!

Scott, once I get quiet time to myself and the kids are in bed, I'll have a look and see if there are any consoles missing and let you know!

Hello there everyone!

I'm Gaz, 37 year old gamer and collector from England!
I came across this site when vgcollect started to follow me on Twitter.  As I reside in England I use
http://www.retrocollect.com/ to document my collection as they have an extensive PAL database, but I do collect retro games from both Japan and North America

It will be interesting to get to know a few people on here and see if there are any differences in the way we go about collecting etc.  For a little insight to my collection and collecting habits you can check out the link which features myself in a collector interview on the retro collect website! http://www.retrocollect.com/Articles/collector-interview-rpg-enthusiast-gaz-backhouse-lostruin.html

I'm on Twitter as @lostruin and I have a YouTube channel (although my video camera is broken, so no videos have gone on for a while), plus I also co-host the "Tune in Game In" podcast, where we talk about gaming and gaming news etc.  I joined from episode 3 and it is a work in progress!  It is on podmatic and itunes!

That's about it for now!

Peace and happy gaming
Gaz!

Being an RPG fan, I love the Shining games on the Sega consoles! I am currently well on the way to owning every Shining game release for the Sega consoles in every region.

Is there an introduce yourself thread on this site?
