Thanks for the welcome guys.

I am pretty keen to go to the convention actually, Ballarat is about a two hour drive from where I live, will just have to make sure I am not working on that particular Saturday.

Nintendo fanboi = Nintendo Fan boy, someone who believes video gaming began with the NES. Smile

Fanboi, love that term but I guess we should also bear in mind that someone who started their retro gaming less than 20 years ago would think that NES was the start of it, for me the Atari was the start and the game was PONG Wink

G'day,
I'm in Melbourne too! Hope to see you at the con. And although I love Nintendo, I'm old enough to know that when people say, "the 64", I don't think they mean Nintendo 64! No offense to the younger retro gamers out there, we can't ALL be cool, thirty-somethings!
