About racketboy
I'm just an easy-going and fun-loving guy from Michigan and have been a student and web builder on the Internet since 1997 and have loved every minute of it. My first website was a Calvin and Hobbes fan page that was relatively popular (Calvin and Hobbes MaDnEsS), but it was hard to come up with fresh and original content for a subject that no longer being produced.
I've dabbled in a few web projects since then between professional, academic, and personal ventures. I originally shared my gaming information in message boards, but in 2004, I started my Blogger project named RetroGaming with racketboy. Because of the growth of my blog and the traffic I'm receiving for my store, I launched racketboy.com to be a more stable and professional place to host my projects. Now, that I have a full-time job, I'm cutting down on the store and focusing more on blogging and building good content.
As for gaming, I grew up being the kid that never had the latest and greatest gaming consoles. I started out being an arcade junkie in the late 80's and early 90's while my friends had their NES systems. Around the time the Sega 32X came out, I finally got my first console -- the Sega Genesis. That was one of two times I've owned a console for which games were still being produced for. I lived off of Funcoland purchases to build my collection. After the Genesis left the retail scene, I picked up a Sega CD and that kept me occupied for a while. Once the eBay scene bloomed in '98, I picked up my first Sega Saturn. I finally had some excellent reproductions of some of my arcade favorites.
