OK, it's true. I am 36 and my last game system was an Atari 2600, but I did have a Commodore 64 before that! I feel like I am writing an article for an AA meeting, but for games.

Anyway, my wife talked me in to getting a Wii recently. It's fun, but it's not like the old Atari games that you couldn't break the cartridge. We have a 5 year old and I can imagine him destroying all the games we have bought. I came here to learn how to back this stuff up.

I am a geek(electronics engineering technician) and play my games on the computer, but really new in to the whole Wii thing. Not asking for help right now because I am big on doing searches instead of asking for help(typical male, I know) but if someone wants to send me info or links, I wuold not be opposed.

Anyway, I am here lurking and it's nice being here. Especially if I learn something good. Even better if I learn something geeky!!
