    Hey guys, Tchoin reporting in.

    I've been lurking the boards for a few days, found Arcade & Retro after stumbling upon the video "BITS" by James Keating (as I'm a new user I can't post URLs yet) about collectors in Ireland.

    I'm from South America and have relocated to Ireland (Dublin) almost a year ago - been looking for any retro communities/boards for a while since I arrived and could not find any until getting here by chance :)

    My whole collection at the moment is split in several boxes sitting in a cold storage unit back home... but, it's a good opportunity to start collecting PAL titles!




    tl;dr: Hi I'm Tchoin nice to meet you all!

    From South America then? Dare I say we have our first die hard master system fan on the forum?

    Oh and Welcome!

    Welcome to the party pal, bring a love of Sonic 2 and a loathing of Streets of Rage and we'll get along just fine!

    Welcome aboard

    I think we're a pretty small but die hard group of collectors on here. All the people off that documentary are regulars here aswell. Myself included.

    Haha, not really, I'm more of a big N fan :) - I'm from Uruguay, where Nintendo had much bigger presence than Sega (unlike Brazil for example), but I do love me some Sega as well, Dreamcast specially.

    Sounds like a cool deal :P

    A couple of years ago you'd see those buggers lying around every single flea market. Now they are hard to come around, a fellow collector from my country has around 7-8 carts (kind of "investing" for future trades he says). Little Samson, Panic Restaurant and Flinstones 2 were in abundance as well, now that the "retro gaming culture" hit the country (around 1-2 years ago) they've all been scavenged.

    I know lol, just being sarcastic, don't get me wrong you guys have long had the beauty of Scart but at the price of some ugly, non-practical, soul-less game covers and cases/boxes.

    Thanks all for the warm welcome!

    Don't forget the slowed down gameplay & large screen borders :(

    Sadly, Cidey isn't joking, he's one of those weirdos that doesn't like Streets of Rage or Golden Axe. But we still accept him.

    ;)

    Welcome aboard the good ship retro!
