My first purchases as a collector!
« on: May 22, 2020, 01:11:54 am »
Today, I officially start my collecting.  I got (I think) some good deals on eBay for four games.  All are cib.

Faxanadu (NES)

Disney Adventure in the Magic Kingdom (NES)

Mixed-Up Mother Goose (Apple II)

Pepper's Adventures in Time (MS-Dos)

Neat stuff :) Do you have any aims in collecting? Are you going for certain systems for example? I have been a PlayStation Collector/Gamer for years, but I've found myself recently collecting more Xbox back catalog titles :)

It varies. 

I watched a friend play Pepper a very long time ago and I always wanted to try it for myself. 

The Mother Goose box has the original cover with Roberta Williams, so I had to snatch it (I also looked for Softporn Adventure with the hot tub cover, but that was a no show).

I have a fun memory of (rage) playing Magic Kingdom with another friend from long ago.

And Faxanadu just looked neat from the gameplay screenshots.

I'm mostly going for childhood nostalgia, first. Or any game my younger self would have enjoyed.  If I also see a rare find with a good enough deal, I'll try to go for that too. 

That's going to be my phase one.
