Greetings to all,

I am here and here I am.

I had originally thought my mission was going to be easy but now I have hit certain roadblocks, SO, I have joined this wonderful forum.

What do I collect? Only the RADDEST GNARLY GAMES. No Mario, Zelda, etc for me.

Skate or Die? Yes
California Games? Yes
T&C Surf Designs? Yes
You know the deal.

Also games where the cover art is like wow ok we get it, its from the 80s, relax.

I find videos like this insulting to my personal tastes: 



That cover art is stunning. And I want it. I am going to report that vid.

Let's just get it out of the way. Sealed. I have one minty CIB (Paperboy) and it keeps me up at night.

Some sealed items i'd like to find:
Skate or Die 2
Town & Country II
Rollerblade Racer
California Games II

THANKS AND LET'S HAVE FUN!

Rad McRaddington IV

You're not the only one who finds AVGN trying. And that's not hot pink.

Check out Treasure Master.

What is your definition of gnarly? Jeez I feel like a square asking that.

Lots of NES games/game art has that awesome 80s vibe, especially those that pull from 80s action movies. But is gnarly more like an xtreme sports vibe? Like Meta Gear is ripped from a movie poster of Michael Biehn but it's not that neon look, or American Gladiators has that kind of sporty gameplay but the cover art isn't very over the top.

True! and I was thinking that initially as well...going for just the art/80s vibe, or going for the sportXXXXtreme side... I settled on sports/sport-ish  

For example my latest grab is:

Explosions, eagles, Schwarzenegger ripoff holding a bigass gun, squid, and Ferrari F40. I don't think you can get more 80s.
