About Captain8bit

Billy has been gaming since the Atari 2600 and Intellivision, but "true gaming" for him started his first NES. He fell in love with gaming at that moment and his passion continues to this day. He has been a serious collector since 2004. Billy's favorite system of all time is the Super Nintendo followed by the original NES. His favorite games include, Zelda a Link to The Past, Super Mario World, Super Mario 3, Mega Man 2, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy 7, and Battlefield Bad Company 2. Jay is a gameaholic. People say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. But what if you know you have a problem and don’t want to get help? He spends a lot of time collecting anything retro, and more time playing.He has had many interventions over the years, but to no avail. Is he sick? Twisted? Demented? No.he is a gameaholic. Jays favorite system of all time is the NES and PS2. His favorite games are Super Mario 3, Resident Evil 4, God of War franchise, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!, Grand Theft Auto franchise, Tekken franchise, Donkey Kong Jr, Mario Brothers(not Super Mario Bros), and trivia video games.
