Yep, lots of games and consoles, but i mainly collect for atari consoles (jag, 7800, 2600) and master system in particluar. Only problem is atari collecting is expensive!

Im also an avid anime and manga fan and attend london expo twice a year (when i can) and have far too many dvds and manga books to currently count.

Well there you have it, i really enjoy this forum and the different members that ive come into contact with. Hope to stick around for a while longer ;D

[rupert]

cool, i also have a lynx, DS, ps1 and dreamcast (well dreamcast games at the moment, long story). also got a game gear, spectrum and CDI

I'm also into art and design, did it at college and uni for 7 years. work in IT now though, lol. what do you plan to do with your degree it sounds really interesting.

I agree about there being some great people on this forum, made some good friends here.

[anagrama]

Is it just me, or are half the people on this board called James?

Anyway, a belated welcome (from another James!)

[thund3r]

nope theres about a dozen James here, and rupert after my degree i play to work a few years doing some design work, pay off my loan and id love to then take a year out studying and working in japan.

Pretty big amount of consoles you got yourself there!! I don't have quite that much, I've got:

Master System - multiple consoles & accessories, 240 games.

Megadrive - Megadrive 2 console & 40ish games

Game gear - handheld & 16 games

Atari Lynx - Lynx 2 & 30ish games

NGPC - handheld & 24 games

PS1 - console & 50ish games

Wonderswan colour - handheld & 12 games

NES - console & a few accessories & 28 games

RetroCon - console (NES compatible, plays all PAL & NTSC games)


I'm probably missing one or two out, but I can't think right now!! lol! I used to have a 2600 and a humungous amount of games for it, but I sold the lot a while back, and also had a couple of gameboy colours and games which I also sold.

For those that don't know, I'm 25 (26 next month - eurgh!), debating what the hell to do in my career at this moment and no closer to deciding whether to finish my LLB or switch to a LLM. I've been collecting Master system on and off for over 15 years now, though my collection didn't really grow at all between 1995 & 2002!

Great to have you here if I haven't said it before!

[krooper13]
