How's everybody doin'? I'm in my mid-thirties and hail from Kentucky. I haven't been in a forum since around 2005, so I might take a while to get back in shape, so to speak. I am thrilled to find a forum dealing with retro video games, a passion of mine. I received my first NES in 1989, and haven't looked back.
I own an NES, SNES, N64 and also have a Super Game Boy. I'm just simply Cartridge Guy, I guess. I never got into the disc systems, ever since my college roommate had Driver for the Playstation, I fell in love with the game, and it would always freeze in the same place.
My other hobbies include popular music from the 1950s through the 1980s, old Topps baseball cards, and history, so much so that I got a Master's Degree in it. I am fascinated by the history of anything: what happened in the past that makes today what it is? And so forth.
Oh, and animation. I still have that simple, child-like fascination with pictures that move. Classic theatrical cartoons from the 1930s through the 1950s are it for me. Too bad the DVD collections cost so much nowadays.
Growing up in the mid to late 1980s, my sense of humor can get a bit stupid. Countless hours with Pee-wee Herman, Ernest P. Worrell, and Binky the Clown from Garfield and Friends ensure that, so I apologize in advance.
Anyway, I'm glad to be here, and I'll figure out the profile thingy sooner or later.
By the way, the name refers to my favorite sports teams; it seemed kind of harmless at the time. On the other hand, it makes it seem I helped to build Stonehenge or something.
