Main topic

News: ET Landfill opened up!

First gaming console and/or exposure to video games.

Erik-PC games! Classic early 90s! FPS/RPGs/Action games Friends had a NES/Sega Genesis. I didn't own a console until the DC

I use a Wii for GameCube and 60gb PS3 for PS2)

Feelings on the rumored Retron5 price increase and Amazon not receiving any launch consoles.

-Kinda stinks for those who didn't pre-order. Does this mean I'll have to wait to mid summer?

Where do you normally get your retro games?

Ebay? Trading sites? Garage sales? - Craigslist
