Hi guys,

I play games since I was 4 years old. The first games I played, like most people, were Snake () and Space Impact (). I can remember playing then in my father's Nokia phone.

With 4 or 5 years, I won a Mega Drive with classic games, including Sonic, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Super Hang-on and others. I remember playing Sonic the whole day 

With 7 years I started playing flash games on computer.With 8 or 9 years I learned how to download games. And when I was 10 years old I learned how to use emulators. Then I started playing all kind of classic games: NES, SNES , Master System, Mega Drive(I downloaded games that I didn't have), Nintendo 64, Game Boy etc.

Until 14 years, the only thing that I had to play was a PS2 and my 2001 computer, because I donated my Mega Drive. After so much time playing classic games, because they are the only thing a 2001 computer could support, I learned a lot. But when I was 14 years old I got a new computer. I got Clickteam Fusion 2.5 and started learning how to make games. I'm working in a Gradius and R-Type based fan-game, and started learning Pascal. Now I am 15 years old.

Welcome to Vizzed!
As I saw , you're interested in making games . Good luck if you're going to make one.
Enjoy your time here!

Welcome to the site!

That moment when you first think of Snake as the Metal Gear Solid character instead of the old game represents you're not that young anymore. That game was absolutely addictive for its time, and probably the greatest reason why most of us wanted our own phone. 

You learned how to download games at 8? And learned how to use emulators at 10? Man, I hardly discovered all that when I was double that age. You made me feel like a slowpoke

Nice to see you're an avid gamer of the old classics. You came to the right side to play more of them tirelessly.

I hope to see you around the forums some more, and remember, we staff are here to help should you need us.

Enjoy your time with us!

Prado001 : Welcome to the site Prado! I hope that you enjoy your time here! With THOUSANDS Of games at your disposal FOR FREE, I don't think that will be a problem.

I was impressed by some of the games you listed off. I'm a huge fan of Streets Of Rage, Golden Axe and Super Hang On myself! I also love Space Harrier.

Maybe we can netplay some games together sometime soon. In case you weren't aware, Vizzed has a "Netplay" option that allows you to multiplayer games against other users on the site. Available for select consoles. You can find the netplay chat lobby here https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/netplaysessions.php

Feel free to PM me directly if you have any RGR or general site issues or questions. Always happy to help out when I can.

I hope to see you around the site more in the future!

Welcome aboard to Vizzed!

I'm a fellow newcomer, as well. Only came in about a week before you, and started posting here a whole two days ago. I hope you enjoy the site here, although it doesn't seem like that should be any kind of issue.

Thanks by the reception!

I will like very much to play with you when this problem of the black screen on the games loading stops!

I forgot to tell that I'm Brazilian

I started playing video games around age 4 as well, if you count educational games. I started playing regular video games when I was 7, since my dad introduced me to Pac-Man when I was that age.

Welcome to vizzed! It's cool that you're creating a fan game. Good luck with that project Have a nice time on the site!

Prado001 : Hi Prado, I just joined too ^^ you seem to have cool hobby's. Maybe we'll be seeing each other around!

Prado001 : Are you still having problems getting the RGR plugin to work? If so, what are the problems that you are experiencing? I can most likely help you through them.

Jordan, when I load a game, there's just a black screen, no matter the amount of time that I wait.

Edit: here is what is displayed in the log:

10:03:07.771 - Vizzed plugin init script starting

And then the emulator stops here.

I tried both Google Chrome and Firefox. Same error.

My Flash Player is updated. Does the RGR plugin use Java? Because my Java is outdated.
