Ah nice! It’s so purty!

I love Kwirk! Awesome, because I don't hear much talk about it. I am a huge ATLUS collector and that's how I discovered the game. It's pretty fun - somewhere around here I have an advertisement poster of it.

Two space club all the way! Where are my 2-space friends! Join the rebellion!

Man....say what you want about Billy - some hate him, some love him. But I can't deny, that hair is something legendary hah

To be fair, and also transparent and honest with people - B.A. requested to step down long before any of the NA server outage/change occurred. They just weren't around or active in any capacity, so they never did it. Also, I don't see them stopping the spamming for VGS as inappropriate censoring. I'd imagine they wouldn't have a problem with people talking about other places, even adding links occasionally. But the level of spamming was such that I think it's very reasonable. If people came to VGS now and did the same thing, we would probably have to do something - particularly if there were comments in welcome threads directing people to another forum. There are plenty of other completely legitimate reasons as to why I would hope people would move to VGS and support us, given everything that has happened and how I believe we truly stand for the community - that I don't think there is any need to criticize them for what I believe are pretty reasonable moves. That's why I want to set the record straight about things such as above. The people owning and managing VGS....ARE a part of the community, and we actively care about fostering it without any business or profit-focused intentions. We are dedicated to this, and I think that should hopefully speak volumes and be strong enough reasons for people to want to join us.

Check out the link above with what Vaosu created. We'll continue to look for improvements but I think for now, it's a great start!

We all appreciate it - and we thank you very much. And we thank everyone for your support and contributions! As some have mentioned, any amount helps, and the VGS team is committed to using any funds to making this place the best it can be. Thank you to everyone

Hello there! Great to see you join up with us, and don't be such a stranger now! We will definitely have a Secret Santa as B.A. mentioned, and it's gonna be awesome!

It is actually a wolf - from Okami Tho I think pup can still apply cause baby wolves can be called pups along with other terms.

We understand this needs attention and are working on it. We have been steadily working on the foundations for VGS, but the NA server announcement and pending server outage prompted us to get a presence up sooner so people would at least have a place to go. For now, the concepts above should be solid guiding points, and we will share full rules and details as soon as we can.

I am now spacepup but I was formerly sadikyo on NintendoAge. It was kinda tough to say goodbye to sadikyo, which has been, well, ME, for many many many years. To make things even more confusing for members, I ALSO changed my avatar hah. Although, I've been using Amaterasu here on discord for a while. I changed my name in discord to spacepup for a while as kinda sorta joke but everyone loved it so I decided to roll with it! Plus, now I have plans for spacepup

Dry erase marker has always worked the very best for me.

It is. Can be challenging, but kinda fun. For US, I at least know for the most part which ones exist. For Asian Regions, I had a decent list, but I’ve expanded it time and time again, finding new items that I couldn’t find referenced anywhere on the internet, even using Japanese searches and pouring through places like Yahoo Auctions, etc. So it is kinda neat to keep finding new things and documenting them. I’d never go after the full ps2 retail set, and I typically don’t do fullsets anyway, so I enjoy the smaller subsets, like with demos.

I am a huge PlayStation fan and collect it way more than Nintendo or any other company. I collect games for pretty much all PlayStation consoles if they are games I like - but I probably have more PlayStation 2 games than any other console. It is probably my favorite console of all time if I HAD to pick one, and there are just too many great games to even count. Over the past couple years, I've been specifically more interested in PS1 and PS2 demos, and and interesting import titles across all PS consoles. I have approximately 200 USA PS2 demos, as well as about 200 Japan PS2 demos/taikenbans. The collection set that I'm quite happy with and has been particularly difficult, is that I have 36 of 42 USA PS2 "Trade Demos" which were PS2 samples used by reviewers, etc. Most of them are actually full games and not demos, and they usually differ just slightly from the final retail release. There are 6 remaining that I still need, and they are VERY hard to find. I have lots of extra PS1 and PS2 games that I need to get around to selling, so hopefully once things settle down here I can help out some other PlayStation collectors here!

These are great man! Thanks so much for sharing all in one place. I love it!

I am working on this! All of spacepup glory will be revealed soon!

Hello friends! My name is spacepup and I have landed on a strange new planet. In a past life, I was known as sadikyo, but I have been reincarnated as a spacepup and I'm excited to begin the next chapter! I'm really looking forward to VGS and what we can accomplish together. I think we can make something great here, and I'm going to do my best to make this place the best it can be. As for me personally, I have a very wide variety of gaming-related interests: Collecting Goals: * ATLUS - one of my goals is to collect all Atlus games - be it publisher, developer, etc. Currently I'm sitting at a few hundred games and it slowly grows. I've been a fan of ATLUS mostly from the earlier days, as their games were very unique, interesting, sometimes dark, sometimes quirky, and there was something about the earlier lore of say, the Shin Megami Tensei series, that I just found fun. Many of their earlier games, especially RPGs, were just different from the normal formula. * PS2 DEMOS - for whatever strange reason, I started collecting Playstation 2 Demo Discs, mostly US and Japan. I have a few hundred of these also at the moment. Playstation 2 is probably my favorite console of all time. As for demos - I don't know, I started out exploring the playstation library back with PS1 only having access to some demo discs, as it was a great way to try out a bunch of different games. Some of the demos are extremely hard to find, which makes it a fun challenge. * IMPORTS / FUN GAMES - this is the catch all category for just, well, everything I like. I love collecting games that are unique and fun, good games. And I love checking out unique import games that many people around here aren't too familiar with. I'm open to all things gaming, across all eras, if it is fun or interesting. Gaming: HAVING FUN! I love to play games - and it is been a huge part of my free-time entertainment life since I was a little kid. I remember the early days playing C64, Atari 2600, etc., but as most people here, things really kicked into gear when I got a good ol' Nintendo Entertainment System. I'll always remember the early days of playing Super Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Castlevania, Final Fantasy - all the classics and much more. My favorite game was probably Faxanadu - I loved the adventure of it and the world they created, despite a rather simplistic story line. These days - I will play anything --- I'll jump from playing Faxanadu on NES, to Horizon on PS4, to a random import game on PS2 that no one has heard of, to something on the Switch. I just love good games and having fun. I don't care what console it was on, what region it was in, etc. If it is fun and something to enjoy, I want to experience it and can take something away from it. My favorite games are probably RPGs, as I've always enjoyed story and character development, but I enjoy most genres, particularly platforming games, action games, puzzle games, and more. Other? I have too many interests to list here, in a wall of text thread that most people won't read - but I truly enjoy meeting new people, helping out where I can, and being a part of something. The collectibles I have are great, but at the end of the day, it is just stuff. I genuinely cherish memories, experiences, relationships and friendships, much more than physical items. I'm really excited to be here, and I hope to continue hanging out with all of the great friends I've made over the last several years, while also making some new ones and seeing what all we can do together. If you made it this far, thanks for reading and I look forward to the future!
