We had an Atari 2600, then I got an NES for Easter one year. Played the hell out of Super Mario 1, Duck Hunt and 1943. Got Cobra Triangle shortly after and then my Nintendo Power sub and Dragon Warrior. I'd say after that it's been a blur of gaming. Eventually I started being able to buy games for myself and amassed a collection of games. |

I've been playing since my parents gave me a 2600 for Christmas 1982. Since then, I've always been a gamer. In the mid-90's, I moved towards PC gaming for about 5 years, but eventually came back to consoles. I didn't really start collecting until after i graduated from college and had more free time and disposable income. I got bit by the nostalgia bug and started picking up old games and systems, which eventually turned into a hobby. |

I've been playing as long as I can remember, as I stated in the Top 5 thread, since my parents had a ColecoVision even before I was born. As far as collecting, it started with just never selling things back. Then I met Ronalopolis, and he was more of a Sega kid, and he wanted to expose me to those games, as I had never really played anything on the Sega. Then one garage sale season, he and a friend came back from a sale with a TurboGrafx, many Intellivisions, a 2600, a couple of Odyssey 2s, literally over a hundred games, and I don't know what all else, all for $50. We had a blast that night, splitting games out and playing games we'd never tried. I realized then that garage sales could be a cheap way of getting games I had always wanted to try. His love is consoles, so he was always on the lookout for new systems, and every time he'd find one, I'd find some game I'd heard about to go with it. 10 years of collecting later... ;D |

I think I really started playing as early as I can remember, the year I was born my dad HAD to have the SNES, apparently according to my mom, I would actually play it fast forward a few years and my earliest memory of playing SNES was when I was about 5 with my dad beating DKC. I only really got into collecting maybe a few years ago, I've always had quite a bit of games but am now regretting trading so many of them cause now I'm buying them back again |
