Everyone gets a warm welcome here: welcome, dude. :)
It's good to hear that you're branching out from the evil side of the 8bit systems. :P What are your favourite SMS games - the games which converted you, if you will.
How are your collections coming along (both the SMS and NES collections)? Pictures are always good to share.

Welcometo the forum. Have either of you NJ guys been on Kingda Ka? I'd love to go on that thing! |

What's up Nick, good to see you've finally joined the big boys! Some big stuff has been going on here recently including changes to the site, so get involved if you want to help out a little. You'll find us talking about different things in the forum proper. And don't stay away from PAL, there are some real gems in the foreign market!

Lol, the "evil" side. SURE ;). I am more of a Nintendo guy at heart, because I grew up with a NES. Don't worry; we don't hate the NES - I'm just being playful. :) I, too, have a NES (with a few games) - although I don't "collect" for it. Here are a few snaps I just took. The first picture is of my SMS games. They are in no particular order. I need to go through and alphabetize these some day. Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. I have what is possibly a very stupid question, but here goes: why are some of the NES games lying on their side, when most are standing on their end? |

Looks like a pretty impressive collection, always nice to see pics. :) I have what is possibly a very stupid question, but here goes: why are some of the NES games lying on their side, when most are standing on their end? Games that are horizontal on the shelf need condition upgrades. Games that are vertical on the shelf are fine. |

Hah, I knew it was a stupid question. Serves me right for not reading his entire post. Thanks for the clarification, Barney. :)

Hey, welcome to the forum. Looks like a nice collection you've got for both SMS and NES.  And it's good that you said even though you're not interested in collecting PAL games that you want to play them, as the true potential of the system wasn't really realised until shortly after it had died in North America. Some real gems that make me feel sorry for those that had the system in the US at the time never managed to play. |

I love to get a big bundle of games and go through it upgrading covers, manuals and carts and trying to find minor variations, it's been a good few months since i've bought any bundles though  |
