--- Quote from: Mattroid on August 26, 2014, 07:26:11 PM ---Thanks for the welcome, TyrannicalFascist! I'll probably be picking up the GB BitBoxes when they come in. I need to go through my GB collection and see what's staying and what's going and how many cases I'll needed. What I'd really like to see if someone repro the NGPC clam shell cases, but that's a pretty niche market. I haven't decided if I want to use those same BitBoxes for my GBA carts or if I'd rather just use DS cases instead. DS cases will likely take up less room, so I'm probably leaning that way, and I already have a bunch of spares.

There is 3rd option:

Same size and quality as original US DS cases, but added ability to hold GB and GBC games without modification.

Hi everyone, I'm gladiator from the PSX Datacenter. I got some hires covers from this board and I credited them when the user put it like akrate69 that help a lot in the NTSC-U hires covers in the site.
http://psxdatacenter.com
But I was usually lazy to register until today, so just wanted to say hi and thanks to everyone that has provided covers in a way or another to the site (even if most of you never heard about it at all).
As usual all in the PSX Datacenter is free to use so you can get all the covers that you want, only if a cover is contributed to the site please put the name of the user that contributed it if you want to use it.
Thanks.

Hey guys! The names Ed, I'm Iraqi but I live in Detroit.
I work as a casino dealer and am going to college for pre-med.
I've always been a gamer and I've recently gotten into collecting. I've browsed the site for a while and decided that I would go ahead and join.
Nice to meet everyone! :D

Hi all! Ben from Tennessee here.
I'm 33, started with games when I had an Atari 5200. I could school anyone on some Joust! I've had most all of the systems since then, and due to a military stint as well as traveling, I let go of most of my games through the years. But recently, I've gotten the bug to rebuild my old collection. Collecting has become a little more expensive and difficult these last few years, but I always pick up old games when I can find them, and for the games that got expensive, I use my electronic skills to make them (solely for my own collection).
Like most everyone here, I'm super OCD about having my collection look good and accurate on my shelf, lol. The first cover I want to make (for fun) is a Megaman and Bass (with a bass fish) which I thought would be pretty entertaining. Then, I'll start working on some more serious covers.
Nice to meet everyone!

It's been a while since I had a forum account anywhere. I joined up here because I have a collection of games that needed covers. Then I found the forum here and liked the discussions and wanted to join in. I keep track of my collection using an Excel spread sheet. Most of my collection has been scavenged at rummage sales or flea markets. Although it has gotten harder lately because my cousin moved to town and he is fanatical of hunting down video game deals. He buys a lot to resell. I buy to keep. All of my systems are US models. I only have one Japanese game, OOT, because i found it dirt cheap in box and love the zelda series. My collection is one that's made to be played. I am not the person to spend the money on "mint in box" stuff. My drive to collect was fueled by wanting to share the experience of the game with friends (and by the terrible trade-in value of games). Offering me $2 for a game i know your going to sell for $20? Never! never traded in.
As for myself, I am a full time student working for an associates degree. I should finish this semester. I am also a full time worker. I have very little free time at the moment. In the future I hope to have a better job, more free time, and my own house I can build a proper game room in. I live with my fiance. We have been together for years hope to get married next summer. I hope when i am done with school i will have the time to dust off Photoshop and see if I can make anything of quality. I would also like to make a "lets play" with my collection.
I am very excited for shadowfox's cases. I will show a pic of my collection later. I also have some pretty amazing game hunting tales.
so that's me. :D
