So I'm not really comfortable with the tool yet, so I decided to make a little thread here, and trying to bring up some interesting discussion. I have too much free time right now..
I assume people that hack a game own some actual games, so this is where you can post a list to show off what you have, add a little story about how you got into gaming, and inspire other people to get into games from different generations.
Whenever you buy new games, just edit your first post.
I understand that posts might be a bit too long here, but I'm hoping that despite the small community that this site is right now, this won't be one of those awkward threads where two people post and then it goes all wrong..

So two years ago, when I was 14, I finally convinced my parents to get me a console. But it couldn't be a ps3 or xbox 360, because those had violent games (my parents took me for an innocent person)! So I got a Wii, and I got a few games for it. Mostly big titles like mario and zelda. Then my sister wanted internet connection to do something with online multiplayer I guess. That's where it happened: I got on the shopping channel and saw virtual console. That's when I did research on all the consoles of the past. I didn't know where to begin! I tested some emulators, and found out that these games appealed to me much more than the current generation. So I bought myself an NES. That's when I found out that being a European sucked if you wanted to get into the older consoles. Bullshit about 50hz, letterboxing, high prices, stuff I'm not going to explain here. And that brings us to the present. Me selling my wii stuff, trading in my NES games for amerikan versions and getting an import NES console. I have to save up money for a little longer, but I'm almost there!
If you have seen my username, you should be able to guess what my favourite series is...
