Hi all,
I've been lurking in the background for ages but i've got a lot of spare time at the moment (all my games and consoles are in storage because i'm selling my house) so i thought i'd sign up.
I've been collecting videogames as long as i have been playing them, but i didn't really get into the sms until a few years ago when i picked one up for £4 (with 12 games) at a car boot. Since then my megadrive has taken a back seat as i just got hooked.
I don't play as much as i used to due to a very hyper one year old (good excuse to buy a Pico though) but i keep collecting the games and plan to spend my retirement locked in a room with a huge tv and my sega collection.
I've bored you enough now and ive just remembered ive got a gamegear with a convertor and a few spare carts in my bedside cabinet! ;D and she thought she'd got rid of them all

its not going bad. I've had the box and instructions for mahjong for about eight months (a spanish carboot bargain) so i thought id splash out and get the cart to go with it. Not really sure how many games ive got, about 250-300. keep toying with the idea of buying Smurfs 2 from themainmayer but there is a lot of trust issues although ive never personally had any problems with retroboy. For the main my collectings on hold, unless i see something i really want, until i move as i dont have a list of what i own (never needed one as my games where next to my pc).

Heh, seem to be a few people coming out of the woodwork recently  Welcome aboard! Don't suppose you've got a spare copy of Ecco Jr for the Pico? It's the only UK Pico game I need... |

In my sleep needing state I read the topic as "long time lobster", so may I be the first fourth to welcome you (to the tune of under the sea).

Not sure. i got 3 boxed games with it and bought a job lot of five, but i cant remember what they where. I've only had it out of the box once, my daughter seems to prefer chewing my infra red megadrive pads. |

well i think it ticks along ok. i heard a wile back it went through some very quite times but ive only been here 7 months. we seem to get a new member every couple of weeks but most dont stay long or hardly post after the 1st 10 posts. there seems to be a core of about 30 people who use it regulerly. If you think its quite then try sms power as somtimes it can go days with no posts... but i think they try to keep every post as constructive as possible.
