Purple Yoshi (January 2002 - Present)

Job: Admistrator, Founder, Worker on every section Age: 18 Gender: Female Location: Canada E-mail: purple_yoshis_page@hotmail.com Favourite Yoshi: Purple Website: www.purpleyoshispage.com Favorite Video Game: Ocarina of Time Misc Information: I first got into Nintendo in 1992 when I recieved a Super Nintendo for Christmas along with Super Mario World and Mario Paint. The rest sort of writes itself: I got more games and started a website. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to play games these days, nor do I have the interest that I used to, but I still love Yoshi like crazy. Outside of that, I'm a University student majoring in English. My passion is music, both playing and listening. I took piano lessons for 9 or so years, but stopped this year because of school. I still play sometimes though. As for listening to music, it's something I find myself doing almost constantly. My favourites are Pink Floyd and Neil Young, but I love so much, I couldn't possibly begin to list them. Other than that, I like to write in my journal, and sometimes random opinion pieces. And of course, seeing my friends is the most important thing to me. Next to PYP that is. *wink*

Shadowlink (August - September 2007)

Name: Shadowlink Job: Writer Age: 18 Gender: Male Location: Southern United States Favorite Yoshi: Classic Green Favorite Video Game: Skies of Arcadia: Legends Misc: I've always been a huge fan of Nintendo games since even before I could crawl. I used to watch my sister play Super Mario Brothers, which meant that even though I didn't get to experience the joy of playing games first-hand until I was about four or five I basically still grew up with Mario and Yoshi. These days I play games religiously on multiple systems whenever I find the time. In the past I've written for the long forgotten fan site www.marioguide.com as "Shadow-cube" though the only place you can really find what I've done there is on archive.org as the site has been deleted.

Next year on Christmas my brother and I received a Dreamcast with Crazy Taxi. I then went to a yardsale and found a SNES going for $10 with the DKC, DKC3, Kirby Superstar, Tetris Attack and a whole boatload of other SNES games. I bought it very quickly. Around 1 year later, I got a Gamecube with SSBM and Mario Party 4. :) On Christmas the same year my brother got a PS2 and I got a GBA SP.
