Re: Introduce Yourself: What's your User Name based on?
Thanks for all that info Ward, certainly makes for enlightened reading. Welcome-ization, all around! Jeff-20's been (gently) after me to come play on these boards, for a few months, but Real Life kept me from it until now. Adam Trionfo visiting, over here, usually brings out the old game systems fo...

Re: Introduce Yourself: What's your User Name based on?
Thank you so much Ward for your early work of collection and for your list, which was THE document I (and many of us) used to build our shopping list :). You're welcome-ized! Also, don't you think after Mayhem's post that it may be time to update it? :mrgreen: Adam Trionfo is here, at my place, for...

Re: Introduce Yourself: What's your User Name based on?
Oh wow... HEY WARD! :D Anyone who doesn't know who Ward Shrake is... this is the guy responsible for the Cartzilla list, preserving so many Vic20 games in the 90s (some of which I still have NOT seen physical copies of to this day), and basically keeping the Vic20 alive. I was also the person who t...
