Jayson_B24 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 Born in '80 in MA, and moved around almost yearly until my teens, so that made it seem easier to make 8-bit friends than real ones; lived in MA, PE, numerous towns in VT, NY & back to VT. Joined the Narine Corps in '98, got out in '03, back in the MC Reserve in '04-'05, then finally joined the Army in '06 and I've been there since. My military career has sent me to SC, NC, CA, Kuwait, Iraq, MO, MI, LA, Kuwait & Iraq (again) and finally back to CA. My my gaming history is in my introduction, so there's no reason to recount that here, but in addition to gaming I enjoy riding my motorcycle, fishing, hanging out with my family, different foods and types of alcohols & enjoying all that Southern California has to offer. I'm still in the Army & I'm also studying for a Business Administration/Marketing degree. I am married with four kids and my oldest (21) daughter has one of her own. My son (18) has been helping source bits of the collection, which my next daughter (13) watches grow from a distance and my youngest daughter (8) occasionally plays. My son is mostly into the Dreamcast & the N64, which was released on the day he was born, while I'm more of a 2600/NES guy, since those hold the best memories for me. I will gladly accept any console or game into my collection now, as I feel that (no matter how crappy or cheaply produced) all games & consoles deserve some form of respect. I'm really glad I found this forum and I'm excited to be in a forum with mature, like-minded individuals. ????

Rowsdower70 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 Born in '70, first game was PONG, around 6 years old probably, then Intellivision, Vic-20, Atari2600, C-64, NES, Sega Master System, Genesis..... Played board games since I was a young lad too (learned chess at 7). Played D&D since I was about 10. Still play pen and paper RPGs fairly regulary, and mostly PC gaming these days. Still have a pile of board games too! /NERD "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square
LeeJ07 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 '91, I never had any games as a kid, till I bought my PSP back in '09. I found my brother's old 2600 at my grandparents place a couple years ago, and got bitten by the retro gaming bug. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.
RetroX Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 Well, i'm a swede and has been around playing video games since the first Pong arcad machines. I have owned most consoles and computers, from Channel F to Nintendo 64.You know what?I'm more retrogamer today then i was 20 years ago. 20 years ago i still chased new technology and brand new games. Today it's only about the old games and old consoles/computers.Todays PC is more a multimedia machine then a computer (me think), used for just about anything from watching TV, emulate old gaming systems, surf the net, making music or editing photos, and much more.
