Welcome! Do be aware that some insider deal may be a bit hard to get until you've spent time with us. It's too easy for scummy reseller to make new account to come here, snap up cheap deals, then flip on eBay at a huge markup. Many of the raffle often comes with minimum post count so check your status.
Enjoy your stay with us! PS wouldn't hurt to start with your favorite console (PCE, TG-16, Duo, etc) and favorite game.
Duh! How did I forget that? I really stink at intros. My setup is the TG16/CD platform with a super system card. It's my favorite. I've had it since childhood, and I've never owned any other.
I've always wanted to get a core grafx, but haven't. I actually like not having a way to play japanese hucards. It's kept my buying in check. I have an everdrive for that purpose.
A favorite game is tough. For shooters, it has to be Gate of Thunder, with Blazing Lazers 2nd. GOT is about the best shooter I've ever played, and I have a few. Very well balanced, great music, and I've played the hell out of it.
Platformers would be Rondo, and shockman 3. I am a HUGE castlevania fan, and Rondo really tickles my ass pink.
RPGs are Dragon Slayer and the Dungeon Explorer games. Order of the Griffin is great once you get into it. Getting over the beginning hump can be tough. I really wish more of the great JPRPGs were brought to America.
In regards to inside deals, I don't buy much these days, so I don't anticipate lurking in the sales threads. About the only turbo game I want is Final Zone 2, and maybe the US last alert. I have the JP version.
I only collected quality titles for any system. Stuff I will actually enjoy playing. That being the case, my collection is satisfactory to me at this point. No need to buy stuff just to have more of it on a shelf.
Anyhoo, that's all for now!
