Hello,

elgobbeselgobbes
in Welcome! Introduce Yourself!
I am a huge fan of video games, and have been playing/collecting games for over 20 years. That's not to say that I have a huge collection, but it's definitely bigger than my wife would like it to be. I am also a record collector, so yes you can all wonder how I could actually land a wife, but I managed to. I don't exclusively collect Nintendo, but their games dominate my collection, so it's safe to say that Nintendo is my favorite manufacturer.  I wouldn't call myself an expert player in all genres, but can hold my own in most cases. As much as I enjoy playing, I do have two kids, and a wife that isn't a fan of video games. I am a collector, but not in a way where I buy every game I can get my hands on to beef up my numbers. I like to find interesting games as cheap as possible, and let time run its course. If I'm not comfortable with the price I don't buy it. There are always other copies out there. I enjoy seeking out retro stores and rummage through all the lost and forgotten games of yesteryear. I was actually at one the other day, and found a few good titles to buy. As I was on line there was a kid who couldn't have been older than 12 at the register with his dad who probably wasn't much older than me. The kid tells the cashier that he has something on hold. The cashier asks what he has, and the kid says Rob. The cashier asks "your name is Rob?" the kid replies "no I have a R.O.B. on hold.".  Now I used to own one of these, but my pops decided to throw it away without telling me which really pissed me off. I have in the past few years been trying to find one that works, and doesn't cost a ton of money. It was only the R.O.B. without all the attachments, but still I would have loved to own him, he looked to be in great shape. As a wait on line, my anger starts to grow as I see the cashier ring him up and the R.O.B. only cost $15. Even if it doesn't work, it's still worth that much just to display. I was so mad I didn't get there sooner, and snatch that R.O.B. up, but hey what can you do?  Anyway, I like video games.   Thank You
