Introduce yourself...

[jackknife]

I'm Jackknife and I found my way here sometime in late spring when looking for info about Famicom AV mods. I stuck around because I liked it here so I might as well introduce myself. Hello.

I've been playing video games since I was a kid and still haven't grown out of it by 26. I never specifically decided to start collecting video games, stuff just started piling up... Importing Japanese consoles just made sense because they got more exclusives, the games are generally cheaper and besides, it makes a good way to keep up on my Japanese skills. I play old games and new games and everything in between.

Hi all,

I'm PK-Gamer! I found out about this site because I'm looking for a couple of famicom games. I've been an avid game since I was little and I'm still am to this day.
I'm also trying to learn Japanese as well, I understand a little bit though.

I mostly like classic games but I play some of the current stuff as well. Pleased to meet you all.

Hiya peeps!

I am glad I found this community , it's awesome!  
for many years I wanted a nes/famicom but for some strange reason I never got one... until a week ago when I received a package from 80sFREAK  
I don't really understand how I was managing without a famicom but it's time to make up for the lost time!
I have every current gen machine and all notable 8/16/32/64bits ones (except jaguar/3do/cdi that did not catch my interest and are sold) and I am a HUGE fan of DOS pc games era... (you can see my small DOS collection on a cheesy background here: http://s125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/restqp/carton%20boxed%20old%20games/ )
nice to meet you all!  

ps. is there a "new posts" button on the site? I don't see it

For future reference, that link can also be found in the "Forum Stats" section if you scroll down on the main forum page.

The link that I gave was for unread threads.  The one you gave is for the newest posts (whether read or not).  Not the same thing.  But, yeah, that link down there is easy to miss

Hello everyone!

I'm SteelGeneral from Winchester, KY in the United States. I've been bargain hunting and amassing video games for at least 7 or 8 years now, but I just got into the Famicom collecting scene this year. I bought the original Famicom and around 10 games when I went to Tokyo for a week this past spring break with my college history class. It's quickly becoming my favorite niche system to collect games for.

I'll probably end up lurking here more than anything, but this community looks like the best place to get my hands on Famicom games outside of Japan. eBay just seems to suck all the fun out of collecting for me. I've already got about 7 games coming my way from senseiman, and I may try to get a Famicom Twin or a FDS from here sometime in the near future.

Howdy. It's kinda nice knowing there are people here from the same region, ahaha. (I'm from West Virginia)

[RainLink]

Welcome to Famicom World Steel General! 

Like Algo Fonix I'm a fellow Virginian too, though I'm from  east Virginia rather than West. I hope you find the forums as useful and fun as I do! Don't be afraid to ask any questions, the people on this forum are incredibly friendly and helpful.
