I have noticed that many of the new members, including myself, have found Vizzed.com by accident. What I am curious to know is, "how did you find this place by accident?" I will explain how I found Vizzed just to give an example. Last month I wanted to play a Pokemon game from the actual series, but I wanted to know if I could just play one online. During my Google search, I found a link to a Yahoo Answers post of someone asking about Pokemon Roms -I do not know what a Rom is, to be honest. What was selected as the best answer for the question happened to contain links to this very website. I got to sample Pokemon Emerald for free, and was immediately hooked on it. A day or two later, I realized the Vizzed Board and, after some contemplation, registered for my own account. So... how did you find Vizzed by accident?

EDIT: Just as an FYI, I aim to read every single post on this thread as I am already fascinated by the responses I have seen so far. I give you my thanks to those who wish to share their experiences, and those who already have, on this thread.

I sort of found this place on accident. I noticed a dorm-mate playing Mario Kart 64 on his computer over his shoulder one day and I googled it a few weeks later out of curiosity. I don't know if this is the same site, but that's how I got here.

I was actually looking for a working Mother 3 ROM and translator patch. Being a proud, red-blooded American, I decided that the best way to go about this would be to use my ninja skills to manipulate the Google. Digging through Google for a while landed me here. I found a fully-translated Mother 3, a massive collection of some of my favorite old-school games, and all of you crazy kids!

What I meant by accident is....I was trying to play the game Killer Instinct...I've played it online before , I just happen to forget the name of the site I used. Anyway, I goggled "Play Killer Instinct" online for free....and this wonderful site popped up. I came on...played Killer Instinct and noticed there's hundreds of games to choose from...so I played a few more. I ran out of free vizz....then I was asked to join if I wanted to remain playing these games...I registered and discovered the vizzed board as well. I was not expecting to talk with anyone, strictly gaming...I was wrong. Now here I am.

I think I found this site from searching up ROMS or something like that. Of course, that was like 2 years ago, with my old account (of which I forgot username and pass to ). I decided to come back because I was bored... and, look where I am now!

I used to play Tecmo Super Bowl 3 on my computer a lot in my spare time (bear with me, I'm going somewhere with this). Then something happened to my computer so that when I tried to shut it down, it would say that it was updating but when never really update. After a while I got sick of it and wiped the hard drive without too much thought as to what I was losing. Turns out I wiped all my roms, including Tecmo Bowl. It did fix the problem though.

Anyway, I didn't feel like illegally downloading the game off my college campus' internet service, so I looked for a site that would let me play it without downloading it. As luck would have it, google quickly took me here. So all things considered, carelessly wiping my hard drive turned out pretty well.

Wanted to play a game, googled it, found this place.

I found this place because my FF file crashed. Seeing the internet had a vast system I thought I would find a file as well working as mine I looked at NEScafe but it had to many errors. I found vizzed board and after my file completely fail I play in Viz for a wile there was a this thing that I could only play it 5 times a week I think. And decided to sigh up after that the next problem was I needed Viz so I spam not know the trouble I cause I became a trusted member. Long story Huh?

I found this website when I was looking for free online games and I seen a yahoo answers question and showed me a link to vizzed.

Yeah, I got here by accident. I wanted roms. I clicked a google link at the bottom of the second page of "Super Mario Kart" rom, and it took me to here.

Yeah, I googled "Pokemon shiny gold" and this was the first result I found, so I joined up here

Me too. I googled "play pokemon blue" after my copy of Pokemon Blue that I owned broke.
I came to this site, and I wanted to join, but it took me 6 FRIGGIN MONTHS to convince my parents to let me join.

I found this site like WarpStarFerret looking for Mario Kart 64 even though I didn't see anybody playing in. Just had an urge to play it because I was bored and no longer have the system.

I had been on other sites for a while, drifting from one to another trying to play games, particularly NES games. I found vizzed completely by accident, and when I saw the huge variety of games they had, I flipped out. I never even thought that you could play GBA in browser, and I had just downloaded a SNES emulator and a few games. I never even have to use that stupid thing now that I have vizzed, LOL I'm so happy I found my way here, but I'm in constant debate on whether I should be posting or playing. The past few days, playing won out, and before that, posting. I really just feel like playing now, but my goal is to get onto the first page of the memberlist, and with the VCS I'm rapidly falling behind, so I have to force myself to post.

vizwiz123 : Convince them to let you join? Did you not have your own email, or how did they stop you from joining?

BTowns : I didn't have my own e-mail address at the time, and they stopped me by.......putting a camera in the room where the computer is to see what sites I go on. Trust me, they recognize Vizzed when it pops up on the screen

vizwiz123 : Wow that's a little... overprotective? Psychotic? What are they so afraid of, not being able to punish you if you go on a site they disapprove of? Are your parents very religious or something?

BTowns : Well, I kinda pissed them off earlier that day, and I tried joining when they weren't around, so they got even more pissed and put the camera up. It was basically punishment, really. And no, they aren't psychotic or religious.

I didn't.

One of my friends showed me... eliminator96, he's inactive now.

My friend showed me this site and I made an account to get him points. But then I found out that it was actually fun to post on and that most of the people here are awesome, so... Yay! I'm glad he found Vizzed and showed me

I found this site by accident also. I was looking for Super Mario World for my baby bro (he is nine right now) and I stumbled to this site. Too bad I did not know about the blogs and post to this site until November 2010 (been a member since Nov. 11, 2009). Now I go on this site as much as I can on the computer, my psps (I have 3), or my cell
