Salutations!

Hows it going everyone? 30yr. old longtime creeper on these forums (creepin' while you sleepin!) from NY. Not sure exactly why it took me so long to actually join but I'm glad I finally did. I was going to post this on SA but it looks like NA gets most of the action.



Anyway, I've been collecting things for as long as I can remember haha. First it was baseball cards, then it was action figures and toys, then weird things like pogs (haha) and other oddities and now its mostly retro game stuff and records. Been collecting music for as long as I can remember but yeah I'm definitely big into vinyl (LPs,7"s,etc) and other music memorabilia so I guess you could say I'm a bit of a record nerd.



So years back started getting back into rebuilding my games and it has really picked up steam in more recent years and I love it. That old familiar feeling of playing or finding something you haven't seen since you were a youngin - there's nothing quite like it. Had the NES and SNES growing up and eventually got a Genesis but played tons of it despite not having one as a kid, at least not right away. I wouldn't say I'm bias towards any particular company but I really love Sega. I know I'm on NintendoAge but I can't fight these feelings hah...sorry! Again I'm not one of those that says "Sega is better than Nintendo and you SUCK for saying otherwise", as I truely love Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation and other lesser known or loved systems like the Turbo/PC Engine in so many different ways.



Anyway, I'll stop rambling as I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities to spill my guts to you all. Again, glad to be here and I hope to nerd out, see & talk about cool stuff and hopefully meet some awesome people along the way!

  • Welcome aboard! The infamous Sega slogan was "Sega does what Nintendon't". I was an NES -> Genesis -> N64 kid so I'm fond of Sega as well. Your login here also works on SegaAge.com, so be sure to look around both!
  • Welcome to NA.....Sega sucks  
  • Welcome to the site!
  • lol love it here already!!



    Thats great that the login works on NA/SA/PA....I imagine AA as well? Typing out NA or AA is funny - its like I'm on a narcotics or alcoholics anonymous forum rather than video games.



    playstationage is a fairly new addition as a sister site to NA no?
  • Nope, Atari Age is separate.



    Welcome  
  • If you are looking for a great collection tool I recommend using either NA's or Gamevaluenow's

    I use both because I'm crazy and double check everything.

    cool yeah I recently checked out gamevaluenow but have to check out NA's. what is everyone favorite mobile collection app? I just started using Gameye. Its decent....for free I can't really complain, although the art seems to be pretty lo res across the board. Doesnt really bother me though since for the most part you are looking at thumbnails
  • oh and I can relate on the crazy front....I have a typed up doc of all my stuff that I have been doing long before any of these online mobile things existed and I still tend to update that along with everything else haha. I have one for all my music stuff too.....when it comes to organization I can be borderline OCD with that shit lol

    I use NA's on mobile because it is a simple checklist. It can be intimidating at first but once you get the hang of it, its one of the easiest to use. GVN is my PC list



     
  • For mobile I us Google sheets. Not the prettiest app, but it is the most versatile
  • Hello! Welcome to NA!  
  • Welcome to NintendoAge!
  • Don't worry, most here are lovers and collectors of other consoles as well. I'm an Atari guy, myself.
  • thanks everybody ! 
  • Saturations!
