    Hello my friends (i have some friends here... well i am not sure i owe money them from a while) , hello my designers , coders, collectors, distributors, resellers, dealers, e.t.s , spam bots, moderators and all the forms of life that visit this forum.

    I am Scaramouche, from Uruguay. Some of you may be remind me from other forums like www. divorced-med-due-to-handhelds.com or www. onesonismoreexpensivethan100handhelds.net . But well, if you don´t know me from these forums, i am introducing.... my pills in my mouth (is time i´m sorry) and i am introducing myself as well.

    I live in Uruguay a very small country in South America.. we are smaller than a Game Boy Micro man... We have few population: we have less population than GAME.COM titles.

    I am a modest collector compared with legends as J.L. aka Sickertus or SylDC, but well.. i think after getting a purple Gameboy Color boxed ( you are impressed aren´t you ;) ) i deserve a place here.

    So here i am, and i hope to meet other collectors (i not even mention girls because i know how these forums are.. to see a girl here is more difficult than see a Horse pissing on a western movie)

    My collection is at : http://consolasportatiles.info

    Here we go.. and welcome you all!

    Even though Scaramoche looks like an android, and sounds like a James Bond Villain, he's quite normal, and very friendly. What is not normal, is the size and scope of his (handheld) collection. A living, breathing, wise-cracking, handheld gaming encyclopedia who revels in both well-knowns and obscurities. Done business with a billion times or more. My interest in games is waning, folks like Scaramoche make me want to stick around a little longer. Welcome, amigo.

    Gracias amigo, i don´t agree i sound like a James Bond villain. If any James Bond villain speaks like me to mr. Bond, probably the agent probably kill himself before try to escape or be killed as we see in the movies.. :p

    And what is this Android reference? Nobody here knows what is fencing about??? Come on, lot of video games use fencing techniques. And is perfect to keep mosquitos far away from the face :p

    (my AVATAR is real picture during my fencing class,.. i belong to Russian Fencing School so any rusky member can tell you what the message on my Avatar says . )

    But the important question here is:

    Will you do the fandango?

    That being said, bienvenido al foro, bro.

    EXACTLY! You won an EPOCH POCKET GAME COMPUTER exclusive flashcart, developed only in Okinawa during 1987 with 25 unreleased games included... you can come here to Uruguay to get it wen you want ;)

    And about the Fandango.. this question follows me my whole life. Every place i enter people ask me if i will do the Fandango. Every Freddy Mercury asked me that question... i don´t know why people want the Fandango asap. But ok, give me some water and earth and I WILL GET IT PRONTO, no problem at all amigos. I suppose you want to get a Fandango bath , like an SPA?

    A fast note about my NICK: Scaramouche is the main character from a Rafael Sabatini´s english novelist . It was a fencing professor , there is even a movie based on this character. As long i practiced fencing (sport fencing in the past, right now ANTIQUE FENCING , or COMBAT FENCING) i adopted Scaramouche as my alter ego for gaming world.

    Would probably be cheaper than shipping to/from Uruguay.

    That said, Welcome!

    I see our men can´t relax at any place..
    To ADMIN: how can i delete my account??? :D :D :D
    (just kidding)

    Hey, will be a pleasure to know my "paisan" , who is she? We have great gamer girls here. A big retro game store here is manage by a Girl who is in fact a hardcore gamer and collector herself.

    Thanks all for the welcome you are all an fresh and cool community: since my last hospitalization i don´t feel as comfortable as here and you don´t give me any pill :)

    Now: a curious note... our country´s name is not in fact Uruguay is Oriental. Our citizenship is "oriental". Full name is Oriental Republic from Uruguay. "From Uruguay" was just an explanation about in relation with WHAT we are Oriental. We are at the Orient of the Uruguay River so Uruguay is just our border River´s name. Our first name as country was Oriental Band. Then after some time Oriental Republic (from Uruguay). So we are Orientals in fact not Uruguayans but you know how the common use is... in my opinion i prefer our real name ORIENTAL because people is all the time confusing us with Paraguay or asking us which is the link between Uruguay and Paraguays if we both are to sides of the same country (we not even have a common border... they speak a different language , they are a different ethnic group etc so nothing to do with our brothers from Paraguay)

    And of course the main reason to prefer ORIENTAL , my yank friends will no able to make more the "you are a gay" joke. (even featured in THE SIMPSON) :D :D :D

    Anyway i think my city´s name is cool."Montevideo", sounds very tech. ;)

    ...........so you are all gay asians then?:shrug:

    Joking, I get it, although I used to think the name Uruguay had something to do with Paraguay which if I remember correctly used to be a big country until a war broke out.

    I think you are confusing Paraguay with the United States right now LOL (kidding )

    And no we are not asian gays... this is only a myth to attract tourists (kidding)

    Well, Uruguay (or Oriental) is a small but relatively rich country in the area, due to strong banks. That´s why we are called the "South America´s Switzerland " (and of course we have a lot of cows like Switzerland, and we are a fiscal paradise like Switzerland as well, :p)

    Paraguay was invaded in the very far past by Brasil, Argentina and yes Oriental (we).Yes 2 BIG bears and a small tiger attacking a little cat. Tactic was perfect of course (guess who won ? ). The triple alliance was supported by U.K. but U.K. didn´t send troops themselves.. you see? That proof we used to be very advanced on that times: NATO is using the last decade exactly the way we used to fight a century ago lol

    I understand the confusion... names are similar. Is like Uzbekistan, Kazajistan , Pakistan .. you listen that names you think all them are some kind of Russians with a big Stalin style mustache. The fact is all these countries are very different , different races, different cultures, language, etc.

    Same here: we are in Uruguay a more than 90% european origin population (most of us from Spain, Italy and Germany) with a strong influence from the minority of Afro american community (about 8%) . (the remaining 2% i don´t have idea what they are.. may be E.T. , zombies or even mutant ninja turtles)

    Our weather is relatively cold and the summer is template and short (only 2 months) so as you see we are not the typical latino country full of colors , hot , happy music, etc. Our cities are more sad, cold, gray is the color at every place, people is more serious is not easy to see smiles in the street around. Our music is sad and nostalgic (the Tango, shared with Argentina and developed in both margins ) .

    I used to live in other countries like Mexico or Panamá and the contrast with Uruguay can´t be bigger: hot, colors, salsa, music, spicy foods, fried food, simpatico guys and girls,etc.

    Anyway Oriental (Uruguay) has its own magic. I will share photos later :)

    Regards

    Scaramouche
