I remember his site, but that's about it. Oh, and the "tsr is fat" meme that went around at the time. |

I've met him. He is a mountain of a person. Talks as much as a mountain too. That's really it. Can't have a conversation with a person that never speaks. |

The blurb in my profile is true. I could have but purposely didn't meet |tsr. Me, my rommmate and older brother went to a NAVA meeting in early '99(?). I convinced them to go b/c I wanted to buy an Aladdin Deck Enhancer off of Etler (Deck Enhancer + all Aladdin games complete for $80, I still have 'em). We noticed |tsr by accident on our way out of Etler's store. Me and roommie were lingering near the front while my brother finished his game of Time Pilot in the back. They had both been pressuring me to leave from the second we arrived, they weren't NES collectors and were bored af. Apparently, |tsr was having a swap meet in the corner w/ a few other dudes. I got the impression all his companions disliked him or didn't respect him or something. He had just returned from Japan and didn't bring any famicom games to the meetup, so maybe they were pissed about that. I recall at one point an asian dude yelled at him super-loudly "|TSR DUDE, WHAT THE F---?!" Me and my roommate recognized the name but we were on our way out anyway so we left. We didn't realize it was him until the dude yelled at him. A few days later |tsr made a forum post about the NAVA meeting and how "these two guys showed up and recognized me and didn't even say hello!" and I was like oh snap that was us. The End. |tsr is fat. |

I think literally all of us found the "scene" through that website so indeed he deserves a lotta cred for that. Those forums were especially fun. But then the forum went down... and NESescity is the mother of invention. I always wondered about that spelling. Was it supposed to be Necessity with "NES" but also "city", or was it just an uncorrected typo in a word intentionally spelled wrong to begin with? |

That sounds about right. I didn't get down to his store until 2001. OMFG WE COULD HAVE HAD A PROTO SCENE MEET UP. Or not. Fwiw, tsr lost a lot of weight. At least since his site closed and like, 2004. But he's probably fat again because it's funnier that way if we think he is. |

My intro to the scene before #nes98 was actually Demi's ROM hacking/emulation message board, where a lot of people just basically bashed |TSR and Zophar from Zophar's Domain. Back in 97 or 98 that's really all there was as far as NES related content. Many shitty romhacks were made featuring TSR as a replacement for whatever fat/huge bad guy was in there. Think Gutsman in Mega Man 1, Bowser in SMB, etc. |

Is TSR a furry yes/no? I am betting yes because his Gamepro avatar when he was writing for them was a goofy fennec fox character which is a pretty suspicious thing to assign yourself when everyone was using nicks that were almost exclusively puns. |

Most definitely. I found his site in 2000 and finally had the balls to join a board by 03 after a few years of lurking. Good stuff.

Quite literally what popped into my head when Damien mentioned Zophar. I wish I was kidding. |

Duuuude I remember you now. You were active on NA around the same time I was (AceEbb). Did you use that same avatar on NA? Did you buy a lot of numbered edition homebrews? |
