Heya Luca, welcome! You've come to the right place if ROM hacking is your area of interest~ You'll find plenty of games to keep you busy at the Emulation section so make sure you explore there whenever you're able. <3; Lots of 'em are waiting for you to try them!
Ooh, an early gen fan I see! I think another place you might enjoy here is the
Metal/Color Gen. Games section if you're looking to discuss the first and second generations. Plus given how many people love the earlier games, you'll probably run into a lot of other members similar to yourself! ^^ If you ever have any questions about the section, you can always private message the wonderful
Sydian, who is in charge of that part of the forum. She'll be happy to help! ..but of course I'm merely making a suggestion so it's up to you. There is a ton to do here so there's bound to be at least a few places you're interested in trying out. :D
It's cool you're a console collector too, if I wasn't so stingy with my money I'd try to get all the consoles for the heck of it too. I'm not a very serious gamer though, so it'd be a huge waste of money for me, but that doesn't change the fact that it's awesome to collect them.
Anyway, that's all from me, so have a wonderful time here~! You can always contact me if you want to chat about anything at all! :3
