Welcome aboard Missa. Its nice to have a girl visit the forums
Ty, just don't confuse me with those sims playing, neo pet collecting, my husband bought me a game system and I don't know what to do with it kind of women.
My father purchased a NES in 1986 for my sister and I ever since then, I have really enjoyed videogames. I've since carried on in his ways and when my oldest cousin (I'm the first of my generation) turned 12 I got her a dreamcast with Crazy Taxi and Rez. (This was a good number of years ago though so the dreamcast was still in stores then. I'm not cheap or nothin'
)
My favorite genres of games are: 2-D shooters, RPGs, Japanese Music games (like Parappa and Vib Ribbon, but also the Bust a Move series), then probably simulation games or real time stratigy games, but I usually play RTS on the PC. I also like japanese book novel games like the Yarudora series of games, but I am probably 8 years out of practice at least with my Japanese. I love that the PC-FX games talk a lot because I wouldn't stand a chance of understanding anything if I tried to read it. Within a year of playing the FX I hope to get some of my Japanese back ^_^
The other game I feel I should note that I love is Every Extend Extra. Playing a mine has never been so much fun.
