I’ve been making use of Planet VB for years and finally I think it’s time to introduce myself and become active in a community that has been giving me so much already. My name is Marçal, I’m originally from Barcelona but I live in Madrid, Spain. I’ve been interested in videogames and history for years now, and in my website (http://retromaquinitas.com/) and twitter (@retromaquinitas) I’m always trying to be informative about all videogame consoles. I have a quite large collection of machines and games, focused mainly on Nintendo consoles (with the NES at the top).
The VB, however, has always run deep inside of me. I’m a Nintendo guy, no question, and its unique case caught me since the first time I tested one. I had quite a normal collection until I met Alfissta here; I purchased most of his collection two weeks ago and with a couple extra purchases (one being Jack Bros through this same forum) I completed both the JP and US sets.
As I already took a lot from Planet VB, I’ll be giving something back in the coming weeks. I donated today and I’ll be adding all the articles I can find about the VB in Spanish magazines (as soon as I have enough time). I also plan to write a full article about the VB and Planet VB (if that sounds ok to the community) that would be published in one of the (retro)magazines I collaborate with. I’ll keep the community updated on this in any case.
Hope I’m welcome here and sorry for taking so long to get in touch,
