Popular Post TrekMD Posted February 4, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Hi all! I had been reading on the Atari.io site but had not realized there were forums so I decided to join once I discovered them! I'm a big time retro game gamer and collector. My collection goes from retro to modern: Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, Atari Jaguar, Mattel Intellivision, Vectrex, NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox (original), Nintendo GameCube, GBA, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS4, and Retron N5. I also have a portable 2600 and a Sega Nomad. My first system was the Atari 2600 all those years ago and I was mostly an Atari guy early on. I didn't get other systems until later on. Atari systems are still my favorites but I do admit the Sega systems are also awesome to play on. Over the years I have gotten more involved in the retro video game community and I have written reviews for games and books. My most recent review if the review for that fantastic book from Tim Lapetino, The Art of Atari. You can check that out here: http://tinyurl.com/zexkux5 I look forward to participating in the forum and getting to know folks here.

TrekMD Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Thanks for the welcome! Yes, the Inty is another nice system that is quite more capable than I thought. I actually got into it because of D2K Arcade! That just started a chain reaction! Lost Dragon, Justin and The Professor 3 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

TrekMD Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks for the welcome. From reading around I can see that this is indeed a friendly place and devoid of people who love drama and insults. That's a good thing! It gets old reading threads that degenerate into stupid arguments for no reason. The Professor, Greyfox, Justin and 1 other 4 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
