Newbie Here
Hello NintendoAge!
I am a 24-year old guy from the Memphis, TN area, and I need to introduce myself. I am a chemical engineer for a polyurethane foam manufacturing company, and I was recently married to my beautiful wife (seen in my profile pic). We do not have kids yet (thankfully), but we do have a dog. And if everything goes to plan, we will be moving into our first house sometime in the summer.
I've been a gamer (specifically a Nintendo gamer) ever since I was three when I received a fat Gameboy with Space Invaders and Tetris on my birthday from my parents (awesome, I know). Anyway, I've always loved games, but like most other kids growing up, I would do anything to to get the newer games for the newer systems, including trading off my old games/systems... and I always regretted doing so in the end.
Now that I've finished up my degree and am able to make a decent wage, I've begun to collect the games that I lost or traded off overtime. I've been collecting retro for about 6 months now and I've already surpassed what I had as a child, and I plan to continue to collect, as I've fallen in love with the hobby. So I've decided to show off my current collection (it's small, I know) and my current gaming set-up. Enjoy!
Sorry for the amount of pics. I just wanted to be thorough. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them, and I look forward to my time on NintendoAge. Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks!

your on the right foot
Thats a good chunk of N64 titles already (was that your system of choice growing up?)
Your gaming set up is also clean, cool and functional as well - love it.
Welcome to NintendoAge.
Currently, I'm looking for the Lufia, Breath of Fire, and Final Fight titles for the SNES. My long-term goal for the NES is to attempt to complete a liscensed NES collection (don't know if that will ever happen, but one can hope).
