Hello everyone!

I'm new to the forum and started selling some games here, so I thought I'd better introduce myself just like everybody else.   

I have been collecting games since 2004, not as long as many other folks here but long enough to call it my way of life - wherever I go, I am looking to either buy games or to meet with people I know that enjoy collecting and gaming. After some rough starting years on low budget, in 2008 I decided to sell all my domestic games and focused entirely on my passion: Japanese Imports. Ever since them, I've been a 100% Japanese import person, excluding current-gen games as well as NA/PAL exclusives  

My main area of focus are shooting games (shoot em ups) and arcade games/ports. I am also a big fan of Famicom and GameBoy, with a decently sized collection of imports for either system, while my major focus of collecting is probably the Sega Saturn with (currently) over 700 Japanese games & demo discs. 

I will be posting my collection in a dedicated topic sometime soon to contribute some good content

Probably a million recommendations, depending on genre/platform   
Generally I cannot recommend enough the world of 2D Saturn arcade ports and PlayStation imports. Especially on PlayStation there were lots of tiny games and low-budget productions that never made it abroad but were nonetheless great and worthwhile. Pepsiman, Oh No!, LSD, Mad Panic Coaster, Ore no Ryori, Lup Salad, Samurai Deeper Kyo, X2 (much improved compared to the PAL version), the list goes on.

Welcome! As you already know, I'm a big fan of imports myself  

Glad to have you here with us! My collection is mostly saturn, ps1, ps2, but I have a few other imports as well. I'm focusing primarily on taikenbans but also lots of other interesting items. I'm looking forward to seeing what all you have.

Welcome aboard!
