for me it started when my older brother went to volunteered at a garage sell (i was about 7,8 or 9) and he came back with a comforter from a hotel,a nes with one game one controller and all of the cords and something that i can remember for free we played with it for a bit and then put it a way years past and then three years ago i got it out of its box and with more mature eyes i played with it and love it and that is how i got in to video game collecting |

Collecting or playing? I got into playing games when I was really young, my mom brought home an Atari with some games she got from a garage sale. She loved garage sales and was getting atari games every day so within a few months, we had a couple hundred games. Then the Nintendo came out and I was mesmerized. It never stopped from there. As far as collecting, I think it started with the PS1. I mean I saved games here and there from all my systems but the PS1 is what made search for games continuously for RPGs to add to my stock pile. I bought most of my games right off the shelf. Only as of late, have I started working on collecting NES carts. I collect Dragon Warrior stuff cause its my first RPG. I also collect Final Fantasy stuff but there are so many games/items out there that it would be insane to really try to get everything (especially since I cant stand some of the games that were released). |

I have always loved video games, and I have always hated parting with them. Because of that, I guess you could say my insatiable hunger took over and before I knew I had built one of the largest collections in town. If I could get paid to play them I would. |

Mine started with going to my best friends house and playing on the Atari 2600, I then bought my first computer which was a ADAM. I would haul that thing downstairs when family came over. We played the hell out of Slither, Tappers, and Cabbage Patch Kids. I got tired of always hauling that computer down so I bought a ColecoVision. I never wanted to get rid of it due to being my first dedicated Video game system. Forward a few years later I get married and am now faced with a step son. I buy him his first NES, Then he wants a SNES I offered to get him one in trade for his NES and all Games, he was going to trade them off to get a SNES. Then the N64 came out and same offer etc.... up to about the XBOX. He will inherit all this one day so in hindsight he will get his stuff back. So that is how I got my start into collecting. |

There really wasn't one specific moment in my life that I decided to collect video games but I have always collected something, used to be marvel cards then dvds before moving on to video games. The closest thing to a single event was when I got a job at a second hand store. |
