Retro Gamer forum

Nice to see another girl gamer, I think that makes 3 on this forum :lol: Glad to see I'm not the only one on here, I was starting to think I was. Hadn't noticed anyone around yet that came across as a girl. :lol: I know a few girls that are into some recent games, but I've only came across one or t...

No idea how old you are, since I've just started hanging around here again.

Happy Birthday all the same! :)

I've got mine down to 20 now (although I haven't played it in a while! After I got 20 and put the rest of the family to shame, I got a bit bored of it :lol:)--the first time I played it though, I was apparently as fit as a 52 year old (by the games standards, at least). Just worked my way down to 20...

It's actually a recent photo, lol. I'm eighteen... younger than most the folk here, I've noticed (was surprised about that when I first joined... I guess a lot of folk my age are more interested in the latest games though), but usually people think I'm fourteen or fifteen. Must just look young for m...

Here's my ugly mug.

Personally (of course, since this really does come down to a matter of opinion), I consider anything before 1997/98 retro. Maybe it's my age, but games around that age just seem old to me--I've seen the DC stuck in the retro section in Gamestation, and I don't think it deserves to be there. I've had...

Little late, but I'm just curious... will it only be game/console collections, or does video game merch (leaning more towards the retro side, of course :D) count too? I've got a fair amount of games and consoles and I'd love to send a pic of those, but my Sonic collection outshines it by miles, so I...

Not really. An odd time I'll have a glance at my games and think "why bother?", but a minute later I'll have another look and I'm off on a kick again. Could never sell my collection on eBay, I'd feel far too guilty and want it back soon afterwards. I'm a total packrat--I've got just about everything...

Wow, I think I'm the only girl that joined.

Mine doesn't need much of an explanation really.

I'm a huge fan of Sonic and SEGA - there's your answer. =P

It was exactly the same for me.

There was something about The Moomins that always creeped me out. I haven't seen it for years now, but I can remember there was one episode that practically terrified me, yet morbid curiosity got the better of me and I kept on watching it. =P I'm not sure which one it was, but The Groke was in it. T...

Mostly been playing Shenmue II on the Dreamcast lately... I was late on getting it, I only picked up a copy from Gamestation last Saturday. I've been meaning to get it for ages, but just never got round to it until now... I'm sure glad I got it now though, I think it's a great game. Been playing Son...

Yeah, I always regretted not buying Samba de Amigo when I noticed it in a store in town one day. Then again, I couldn't really do much about it at the time, I didn't have much money of my own and my Mum decided that 100 quid was far too much to pay for a game. =/ Luckily, I managed to pick up a copy...
