Hey Everybody!
I lurked na for years then signed up in 2016 but still didn't post much. I'ma try and maybe be a little more social on here? Anywho, excited to see the site thrive.
I started my collecting journey in the late 90s early '00 as a teen. When the prices of games I had played as a kid dropped I started buying anything game related from thrift stores and yard sales as so many others did. As a young adult, I continued with the latest systems and was heavy into the xbox, GameCube, ps2 era.
Then life got in the way. I ended up moving x x times and got sick of hauling heavy games I never had time to play and sold a majority minus a few personal favorites.
I pretty much stepped away from gaming during the Wii, 360, PS3 days and until 2015 finally realized how stupid I was from neglecting my passion.
So anyways, I'm focusing on some full sets and some systems just the exclusives, rpgs or what looks fun. I am really into Japan exclusives and fan translations even though I don't understand the language it's awesome to have a whole library of stuff you never played as a kid.
Full sets: boxed n64 games (at 90ish ntsc, 40ish jpn), original Xbox (almost halfway there around 400)
Everything else: GameCube (jpn and us), switch, Gameboy loose, snes loose, Ps2, ps3, Wii, 360 (cuz I gotta catch up)
I have been heavy on the nostalgia collecting lately honestly. Nes and snes were my childhood but never had either till after their lifespan, only at friends houses. Lot of memories with the n64 so I decided to go boxed, cib for games I really like. I was really into the original Xbox back in its lifespan and was a staff member of a smallish Xbox forum that allowed me access to go to e3 in 2005 so I have plenty of good memories there too. Also lots of Gamecube, especially Japan imports. I really want to get into famicom stuff, especially the disk system. Love the design.
