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.

You two welcome here.
IronPatriotTN:
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!
