Hello!

[cspears22]

I wanted to introduce myself since my permissions were finally approved today!

I am 28 years old and live in Kentucky. I have been gaming since I was 3 years old playing on the NES displays at my local Wal-Mart. My father told me he thought they were just for show until he realized I had a crowd of people standing around me watching me play Super Mario Bros. and actually completing levels.

Since then I have played all major platforms, and although I mainly play on the Xbox 360, I do love to occasionally throw in a classic from the NES, SNES, or Sega Genesis game and relive the old days. Because of this, I have started building up a collection of all my favorite games on those three systems and have toyed with the idea of collecting games and platforms of all kinds.

I found this site via Google when I was looking for sites dedicated to the hobby of collecting vintage games and systems.

My all-time favorite games are:

The Legend of Zelda - NES
Bubble Bobble - NES
Pigskin Footbrawl - Sega Genesis
General Chaos - Sega Genesis
Tecmo Super Bowl - SNES
Pretty Much All Mario Bros. Games

I look forward to meeting lots of cool people who enjoy this hobby and using the resources available from this site for adding to my collection!

Finally someone around here who appreciates Bubble Bobble on the NES. It is one of the best arcade ports on any system.

Welcome!!! "since my permissions were finally approved today!" I thought this site approved new members automatically. It seemed that way when I joined. Did you guys start cracking down after the whole Robby Douchewell incident? Or are you trying to make sure that there aren't too many trouble makers like me joining in!

The first puzzle game I ever played was Tetris and its the only one I ever enjoyed. Bubble Bobble? Really Uk you do love your puzzle games!

Super Tecmo bowl for the Snes? No way the NES version was the best and will always be the best in my not so humble opinion. LOL.

Welcome Cspears. I would like to hear why you think that the Snes version of Tecmo Super Bowl is better than the original. You better have a damned good excuse! He he he.

Hahaha. Bubble Bobble is epic. I have beaten that game with my little brother so many times it's crazy.

I didn't say Super Tecmo Bowl on the SNES was better than the original, it is just my personal favorite. I was just a kid when that game came out so I had to beg for my parents to buy new games. I used my gaming purchase that time on that game and loved it. I easily played over 150 games against my brothers and the AI when I was young.

Now that I am older and buy my own, I agree that Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl were better, but not my favorites because of the sentimental attachment.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!

Welcome! Look forward to seeing you around the site.

My cousin and I would play Bubble Bobble all the time. Bub and Bob are a staple of classic gaming (to me) like Mario and Sonic.

Aw, man! But the C64 port!!

Welcome aboard. You'll find several of us are big NES fans here, and I'm glad to hear you are building a nice little collection and not going the emu route.

I will be honest here. I really didn't expect this kind of following for Bubble Bobble. I am surprised this many people love it like I did. It is making me fall in love with this site even more .

I only listed a couple games but there are tons of favorites of mine.

A few more are:

Dodgeball
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Contra
Ikari Warriors
Baseball
Track & Field

The more I think about it, there are way too many to list!

Thanks again for the warm welcomes from everyone.
