Hanging Up The Spurs

Alter Egotist

Hi all,

With heavy heart and sadness I'm just dropping by to say i'm hangin up the spurs. I haven't been on here in quite some time as some of you may or may not have noticed. My health is ever decreasing and I'm just not able for it. Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all your help and good times. If anyone needs advice on NES stuff or to keep in touch a few of the guys have my email address.

My collection is being kept but I'll eventually be putting everything i have thats a double up for sale if which i have a stupid amount to pay for my medical expenses when i can take the pictures but for now hello and goodbye for a while from a hospital bed. Thanks for the fun times.

Christ, that doesn't sound good. I hope things start looking up for you and your health improves. Puts things in perspective really about how much your retro collection is actually worth compared to your health

Ah don't worry about me. I won't give up without a fight yet! But yeah my collection has gotten a bit outta hand. my doubles are probaly better than most peoples full collections at this stage because of all the trading up i did over the years. Just gonna concentrate on my health for a while now and sell the excess to pay the bills

Sad to hear man! Hope things pick up for you soon! Retr0 is right, times like this makes you realise that pieces of plastic and silicone mean nothing compared to your health!

All the best man, sincerely. Hope to hear from you soon

Best of luck man, hope everything comes out alright for you.

Anything you decide to flog, make sure and give all us folks first dibs, so you won't be dealing with Adverts time wasters!

It is always sad to see someone give up something they love, not by choice but through necessity, but don't be a stranger, buying dodgy dating games for the Snes is only one small part of the scene here, your opinions on how terrible recent Sonic games are just as important!

Look after yourself man, and like applebaseddrinkhominid there says dont be a stranger

Really saddened to hear your health issues are persisting. From what you've told me before you sound like you've a lot of good people around you - so don't give up

I still continue to play the hell out of that Famicom by the way!

Look after yourself dude, & we'll fully expect to see you back here some day when all is well
