Hello everyone, I browsed the internet(s) and looking for a nintendo retro community to be a part of and this site is most certainily the best I found.  It is easy to navigate and ver professional in its approach, so shout out to the admins.  

Quick back story, I was around for the first NES and SNES, my two fav systems, and I had a small collection of unique titles (mainly RPG's and harder to find gems) that I aquired from outdoor flea markets in the hills of North Carolina.  Got up to around 200 NES titles and 100 SNES.  Basically all the RPG's of SNES and a varied collection of NES genres.  Not to mention Playstation, N64 etc.  But I joined the Air Force when I was 20 and sold ALL OF THEM thinking I would need money for m new endevor.  $300.  That's all I got.  Games like, Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, all mega man's, Breath of Fire 1&2, FF2,3,MQ, three copies of Valkyrie Profile for PS in there black cases and shrinked wrapped on SALE at Wal-mart for $15 a piece ( ), Both Lunar COmplete games in collectors box with all items, and many more.  

What I did keep was the gaming magizines because I couldn't sell'em.  So I still have about 500+ GamePro's, Electronic Gaming Monthly, PSM, Nintendo Power, etc.  So if there is a market for old game magz 
I have them!  

Currently I am playing Nintendo Switch and Wii (still) and NDS on my cell phone emulator.  Looking forward to talking with you all!

At least it's not as bad as my uncle. Sold a Genesis, SNES, NES, N64, Saturn, Lynx, and all of the games and accessories he had for it for...$0.

Sold it to some lady for $600 back in the late 90s. Went to go cash the check the next day and it bounced. Contacted her and her info was false.

That is terrible.  Glad I took cash when I did sell.  Hope to rebuild now, not looking for complete collections, just a good handfull of old favorites.

The Isle of Koholint is but an illusion...
Human, monster, sea, sky...
A scene on the lid of a sleeper's eye...
Awake the dreamer, and Koholint will vanish much like a bubble on a needle...

Hey, welcome! And yes, I think you can move that paper on here if you want. In fact... which NPs do you have, are the posters still attached and if they are in an all-around good condition, feel free to check out my FT (For Trade) thread in my signature and I may make a trade for those Nintendo Powers.

I live in NC. This area is dried up now. It's very hard to find anything in the wild around here. I see you're in Arkansas, so maybe there is hope for you there.
