Introduction Thread

Hello! I'm also a lurker who decided to register here.

My name is Mikel, and I'm a Nintendo enthusiast from Sweden. You could say that I have a soft spot for vintage electronics in general. Super Mario Bros. on the NES is the first video game I ever played and therefore holds a special place in my heart.

I'm hoping that I can contribute with some EU-covers!

Välkommen.

But thats enough Swedish as I as a Finn know nobody needs Swedish.

Just kidding... eller är jag?

And one reminder for newbies: Don't upload the covers directly to the site as unless they are absolutely perfect they will be ignored due to sheer volume of covers submitted.
Instead make Mediafire or Box account, upload there and then link to the boards so we can pre-check them and help you better them before officially submitting them.
Our quality standarts are hyper strict as we want perfection.

Hi everyone, new member here. I've been on this site for a long time just watching from the sidelines and never made an account, so I'm finally a registered user.

I've always been a nintendo aficionado ever since i was a child, although I recently started collecting for other systems that I missed out on with so many great games

Well, here's hoping I can contribute to the cause somehow and look forward to seeing all of you on the site.

Hi all,

Came here from Racketboy after hearing about this site on several threads and am simply amazed at what's here and the sheer amount of work done by this community. What a worthwhile project! Anyway, I have loads of loose discs laying around and just bought a box of 100 slimline DVD cases, so looking forward to getting stuck in!

Thanks to everyone that has made this project what it is. Look forward to conversing with everyone in the forums!

welcome on board!

and remember, contributing doesnt just mean providing scans or covers, after all, someone has to give wiggy a run for his money

Hi everyone!

I finally decided to register on the site. I'm 23 and living in Sweden. It was my father that introduced the world of videogames to me. He owned a NES that I used to play on when I was a little girl. Later he bought me and my sisters the N64. I didn't play for some years, then my fiancé showed up and he love all kind of games and when we moved together he decided to collect them all. He collects everything but I mostly collect the N64. My goal is to cover all of the N64 games we own.

I have been watching this amazing site for a long time and downloaded the covers. I use to try and make them into PAL covers if there are only NTSC covers available, but I’m still missing some.

I'm Ozzy, 35ish in Ohio (Freakin cold now!), been collecting games since I was 14, but took a long break (6+ years) where everything was stored at my parents house.  Just bought a new house with losts of space, so been fixing up the collection.  I'm a big fan of TG-16\PCE, even wrote a few simple PD roms on it, and I'm big into emulation, have been for 12+ years.

Hello all.

Being born in 1970, I am a kid of the late 70s and 80s. My first arcade game I ever played was an original Pac-Man machine at a gas station (arcades would come along later). The first home system we ever had was an Odyssey 2. It was a fun little system, but it could not compete against the Atari 2600. In the mid-80s I spent a lot of my time with our Commodore C-64. Later on when I started working as a teen I took my first whole paycheck and purchase the NES Power Set. It was the bomb. Love picking up new games but the $40-50 price tags keep me from picking up too many. Also my main interest was comic books and that took up most of my time and money for many years after.

So now, I'm back to collecting games and such again. I just picked up the Sony PSP and love playing Final Fantasy I on this!
I also don't buy the new systems at $400-500. I would rather "retro-collect".

I hope to jump in on some of the threads here soon!

He speaks nearly no English so forgive him for probable garble he writes.

Now his own text:
I'm from finland and I play floorball

So he managed to join.
Give him a break.
He joined so he can learn English.

Well what can I say welcome to the site

Hi. I downloaded and printed 40+ covers in the past couple weeks. I just wanted to say thank you! I was searching for a donation section, but couldn't find one. I stumbled across a thread that said you'd rather have donations in the form of covers. So be it! I'll have to read some scannning threads first (if that's a thing), as I have zero photoshop skills.

Edit: Found the scanning guide, lol.
