Hello all my name is Dane & I am from QLD Australia.
Hi, my name is Dane & I live in Brisbane, Australia. I collect consoles, video games & handhelds mostly from the 80's era. My goal isn't to have the biggest collection but to get a lot of the stuff back that I had when I was younger that I loved & to elaborate on that collection by getting the stuff I never had but always wanted.
I loved my childhood days as most did and every time I obtain something from those days past it really takes me back. Even though I am still young I am probably just eluding the fact that I am getting older and wish I weren’t, elusion or not it’s fun so who cares.
I am excited to join these forums and meet other retro gamers. Although I have had the internet for years I never thought to join forums and until not so long ago didn't know about them. I am rather technologically spastic by choice, I tend to surround myself with my retro games and other retro things from my childhood to escape the fact I am living in this crappy era.
Is there anyone else from the Brisbane area?

G'day mate! Welcome!
I'm not from Brisbane (from the states) but I've been there four times. Love the area...Frasier Island, Golden Coast, etc. Love the people.
I had a software company (early 2000s) that we integrated our asset management software into a product whose company was based out of Brisbane....Mincom. Had lots of fun there...except the last time I arrived was on 9-11 - not cool. On top of that the airline I flew in on went out of business so I spent a month there on standby with Qantas. Not a bad place to be stranded!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
I have no idea why I laughed so hard at this... But a 5 year "thanks" is still a thanks.
I only lurk Sega Age, but Mr flatuswalrus is a freaking rock star by the posts I've read over there.
