Started to add things to my collection in order keep from buying duplicates. It has helped slightly, but I still buy good deals for trading. Looking forward to being a quiet lurker. Thanks!

I'm just a 14 years old autistic kid from Québec who really enjoy Nintendo stuff. Since I am too young, I can't have a job and get some beautiful plastic bills to buy some cartridges (I must be 16 to do that).
Just to know, what are the best ways for starting a little collection of retro games? I would really like to know.

So I think this is all I have to say.

Welcome to VGCollect!  I started collecting around your age as well a few years ago and I did a couple of things that helped start my collection:

1. Ask friends and family if they have any old games in the attic they are not using.
---This is how I got a large chunck of my Atari collection as I bought it from an uncle.
2. Stop into the thrift shops and pawn stores every once in a while.
---Most of them are picked over any more, but you can still find good deals at some of them.
3. If you do buy online try to get your games in lots.
---I don't do this anymore as I like to only collect games I will actually play now, but this can help you get commons when you start collecting.

Thank you for these tips!

My uncle recently gave me a NES Action Pack (without the box) with games like SMB / Duck Hunt and RBI Baseball 2 (the cartridge barely works) plus a SNES (I already own that) which had a copy of SMW and a turbo controller.
About thrift shops, some people were selling some overpriced stuff and even counterfeit cartridges (Kirby : Red Diamond). At least I could find some good deal (three games for 20$, seems like a good price).
And for online purchases, I don't do that. If I stand correct, eBay is a good place to start but my parents don't trust that website in particular (they are a bit paranoiak about online stores).

As a collector let me said that your uncle just gave you the best gift that you can receive, about the cartridge it probably only need some cleaning, at this point of my life haven't seen a NES cartridge that doesn't work anyway welcome to the forum is nice to see youngest people that like retro games

Bienvenue!  Plus de Québécois, hourra! J'espère que tu apprécieras le forum autant que moi, la communauté est super ici Ma recommandation serait de fouiller les ventes de garages et les marchés aux puces, je trouve rarement des jeux, mais quand j'en trouve c'est des bons prix en général!

Ah shit, this is now VGC's (what?) TRI-lingual introduction thread   

voulez vous couchez avec moi, ce sois + les yeux (sp?) sans visage are both tough to get out of my head once I've heard them

I don't know about Les yeux sans visage, I'll have to google that at home later  More languages are more fun!

Hello, I'm new here, how's everyone doing?

As you can see, I am a huge fan of Namco and their Druaga series. It's sadly pretty niche so I don't meet people often who know about the games. But at least I play all the Namco classics so I'm sure people will know at least SOME of them!

Some of my favorites include Toypop, Pole Position, Rally X and others.

it's from the Billy Idol song that's (as you already know) called Eyes w/o a Face

We should really just sticky this, add it to the Style Guide, and/or add it to the site's registration page, but:

Avoid & beware of the SOERA!
