HI everyone! So I've just set up my account here, and I'm looking forward to getting to know many of you in the community.
I'm a man who loves retro gaming and the 1980's. Like I'm sure many of you can relate, I have a lot of nostalgia for my childhood and I sincerely miss the feeling of hanging out with my friends and grinding out some old NES games. I had no idea there was a community of speed runners and older school games until just the other night I happened to stumble upon a streamer, "CLChambers00", working on Castelvania III. He mentioned this site to me, and I'm honestly giddy as a school girl at the idea of meeting and competing with other game lovers.

Castlevania is one of my all time favorite games. I even have the cover art of part one as a half-sleeve tattoo on my right arm. I have so many fond memories of that game, and many other NES games that my mom and I played together while I grew up.

I will turn 37 next week, and as of my life today I'm a husband, father, and daytime IT Specialist. However I will be a gamer until the day I die, and I try to fit as much of it in as I can.
I play A LOT of World of Warcraft. However retro is in my blood and I look forward to sharing that with other like-minded people.

I'm not sure what game I will start with for my runs...thinking Castlevania one, but we'll see. That game is still the only one that haunts me as I've never beaten ol'Drac without a game genie LOL.

If you guys would like to get to know me more, you can check out my YouTube channel. I do have some vids up there, though I'm new and nervous, and I plan to start on Twitch here in the next couple weeks.

Thanks all, and again HELLO!

You sound like me! I love WoW (been playing since 2006) and retro gaming. NES is my all-time favorite, and I just joined this site today. I'm planning to run Super C as my first speedrun game. Welcome to the community!

Welcome to the community (both of you)! I played a lot of WoW on and off since 2004, but amazingly enough have never played a character past level 50ish! I just love looking at the beautiful fantasy graphics. As for retro games, hand over fist better than modern games IMO. Super Nintendo and Game Boy are best!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! 🙂

Looking forward to seeing your scores soon. Good Luck!

I'm a student myself right now, and I'm going through the education system right now. I already know that you can read a lot of essays on various topics here https://supremestudy.com/ without much trouble. You can find any material here and then use it for yourself. That's why I highly recommend you to get acquainted and now you won't have any problems for any student.

how did you find this?

@Act_Act_ probably dug it up with a shovel I guess?
