Re: Hello Everyone

Hey all, my name is Brian, and I have a classic gaming addiction. Just kidding (somewhat). Decided to hit up these forums, since one cannot seem to get enough retro gaming goodness, right? I guess I'd be considered an amateur collector to most that will spill onto this site though. Heres a list of ...

Re: Another Classic gaming site - COOL!

I hear ya man. I got a Wii and I own and play more Virtual Console games on it than actual Wii games. When are they gonna bring the 2600 to the VC? Maybe a pack of games for $10, that would be great. That would be cool. I know in Europe they have Commodore 64 on the Wii. Why not bring that over? I'...

Re: Hello Zap! Users :)

Hi, I'm a fairly new collector of classic video games. I've had a SEGA Genesis and Saturn for years but just recently got an Atari Jaguar and a power cord for an old 2600 I had stored in my closet. And now I'm hooked on Atari :) I used to play these when I was a kid and am really getting into playi...

I see that it doesn't seperate the signature lines. A space (or better yet, a line) should be after you post and before your sig. Looking to correct this, bear with me...

My name is Matt and I'm from Oklahoma. I, also, saw the posting on the DP forums so I decided to pop over and check it out. I first fell in love with gaming when I received a 2600 in 1985 (at the age of 5) and have gamed almost continually since then. I have a decent sized collection of consoles (f...

Re: Hello all!

Kudos to Ter for getting this site up and running! My name's Rob and I've been a video game addict since around 1985, when I played my first game of Frogger on the 5200. I started amassing a collection even then, as I was one of those kids that couldn't throw anything away so I saved everything and...

That sounds like a good idea. Where do you think I should put it? In the modern sub-forums or under Specialty forums?

I am expiramenting and sending test e-mails.In the meantime, I set it up so new users don't have to use e-mail conformation (a spammer's dream). If anyone got any mail, ...
