L0rd Raiden
CAG Veteran
Hey, I'm Raiden.
Obviously, I'm new here. I have partaken in several videogame forums, and so far, this one is the best. Most of my friends call me Raiden because my last name, when translated into Japanese (I'm a college student taking Japanese as a minor), actually becomes "Raiden". I researched it, and I discovered that Raiden is also the one of the names for the Shinto god of thunder, along with several videogame characters named Raiden. So Raiden (in one form or another) is what I usually use for gaming/internet stuff.
Anyway......
3) When I was 16, I visited my grandmas house one day to say hi, and I left with a huge (2x2x1 foot) box full of an NES, NES games (some complete), dozens of issues of Nintendo Power (including issue #1), and assorted controllers. I always knew she used to play NES a lot when she was a little younger, but I never knew how much. Most of the games were RPG's, and she had little hand-drawn maps everywhere.
2) Again, from my grandma. Last summer, me and my family helped her move out of her house and into assisted living, and one day, my mom brouhgt home a big box, and she said
"here, look inside". To my great surprise, the box had roughly 20 complete atari 2600 and Colecovision games (including Donkey Kong and other well-kmown classics), in impeccable condition, plus a Colecovision and a module that enables it to play Atari 2600 games.
1) At a pawn shop near my house:

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest
Final Fantasy 2
Final Fantasy 3
PS1
Alundra (complete)
Persona (complete)
Legend of Legaia (complete)
Beyond the Beyond (complete)
