    I'm a 46 year old retired laborer and among my many hobbies I LOVE gaming!
    It all started around 1980 with Atari Pong...then came the NES (years later),
    the SNES, Playstation, the Game boy advance and finally the Game Cube.

    I like all kinds of different stuff, mostly cartoonish, some challenging.

    My favorites (in no particular order) are;
    Mario (everything), Zelda (snes, GBA, Gamecube), Metroid (all), Earthworm Jim, Road Rash (GBA), Sims (all), Spyro, ALL racing games and many of the latest cartoon characters.
    I also own a labyrinth of PC games.
    I will try anything once and I am usually very hard to beat.

    That's about all for now, thanx for an AWESOME website!!!

    Welcome to ROmUlation, why are you retired? 47's still young, I mean Gaming is like working, but it doesn't seem like work. Be free, and live young. Be an optimist, remember, you were the single sperm that made it to the egg out of millions of them....



    [sarcasm] I'm gonna be a motivational speaker [/sarcasm]

    Welcome to RomUlation cutncards! :)
    Great to have you onboard.

    That means you started gaming with 18 years of age? Pretty old, but well I guess it was a different time back then.


    Like I said before - never underestimate the elderly. ;D

    Thanx for the warm welcome!
    Why am I retired at 47?...because I didn't want to wait until 65 to have fun!!!
    The trouble with the rat race is - even if you win, you're still a rat! ;D

    speaking of retirement, I hope you have the average $6 million stored away in order for you to maintain the same standard of living for the rest of your life, meaning that you never cut back on spending, ever.

    $6 million is the standard for when retirement is at 60-65.
    at 47, it's a lot more.

    Just because I do not need to work for someone else does not mean the income stopped!
    I said I'm a retired laborer...I didn't say I was retired.
