aarthurn | 15 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Hello All, Canadian retro game enthusiast here. Had a sizable collection about 10 years ago and sold it off, mostly through the Canadian site cgcc.ca made enough money to buy a nice road bike that took me all around Ontario and beyond. No regrets. Now I like tinkering a bit with old hardware. Been gaming since first playing on my cousin's 2600. Then loving the NES, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast. After the sell off it was hosting gaming parties with a newly purchased Wii U that got me back into games. Slowly my new more focused collection is growing. Currently Consoles Owned: NES (HDMI Modded) Genesis (Rad2x cables) SNES (Rad2x cables) Saturn (Rad2x cables) PS2 (component) Dreamcast (VGA) Wii (component) HDMI Era: PS3, Wii U, PS4, Xbox One Trying to hold back on collecting too many games I won't play. Enjoy mostly 2D platformers but 3D racers and fighting games are amazing too... Love me mostly indie games now a days. As a parent I need to play arcade like short experiences I find. Glad to join the community. Cheers! aarthurn Edited August 10, 2021 by aarthurn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarthurn | 15 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Really awesome to join a forum again. Back in the early 2000s I was really active on Segafans and then on cgcc around 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireHazard51 | 2,047 Social Team · Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Man, I can't imagine selling off my gaming collection but the idea that every time you find a game it will not be in your collection is a pretty awesome feeling. Glad to have you on the site. I think you'll enjoy it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
