Title: Hello from Portland OR
Post by: loveisafist on June 08, 2014, 05:07:14 pm
Hi folks,

I finally stopped procrastinating and decided to sign up to the forums today.
I got six games recently from a buddy of mine for no charge:
2 Hydro Thunders
Golden Tee fore
Silver strike
Time Crisis 2
House of the Dead 4 (traded this for a pinball)

All of these games had one issue or another (parts missing....etc)

Anyways I just wanted to say hi... :)
