Heyo,

i am a northern Canadian collector. i honestly dont have enough time to catalog my games onto the site yet... so i only added my small collections so far, (genesis, Wii, 64, PS) i am honestly scared when i decide to put my pc games on the site, and then my peripherals. i have boxes and boxes of addons and such for all my systems....

i am currently working on my NES collection, it currently sits around 230 games, 40 or so boxed, and only 4 Factory Sealed Games... my PC game collection is always growing, at last count it was at 1700 unique games, and 2100 total games about....

my future wife was kind enough to let me have the entire basement for my "man cave" other than the laundry room... so when i get more work done on it i will probally be posting pics as i am very proud of it. i currently am typing this on a 128" projection screen... i have my computer, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii, Dreamcast, PS, PS2, PS3, and genesis all hooked to it.

i currently use the downstairs bedroom to rebuild computers, so there are about 12 cases in there right now.... understair storage is used for the fiancee's cocacola stuff,

then the downstairs rec-room is split into my gaming station and a wet bar i built that is not quite done yet.
 
slowly but surely i am adding more and more of my games and such... but i got here a little late in the game and well, i like to play games more than catalog them....

10: anything Lego! lego island, the lego mmo that is now defunct, Lego saga games i love em all!
9: NES play action football: one of the few sports games i thoroughly enjoy!
8: Super mario RPG Legend of seven stars SNES: honestly, one of the best RPG's i have ever played, simple, fun, funny, childish, but still challenging enough...
7: Age of Empires: sentemental placement we broke the protection on our schools computers in 1998 and installed this game... played a lan network game with players at random locations across the school.
6: Lemmings: wow... this game is fun. if never played, go play it! save them or kill them, up to you!
5: Civilization 2 PC: almost caused me to get kicked out of university....
4: StarCraft PC: SC2 sucks in my opinion.... Starcraft 1, thats another story. i currently own 12 copies of the game, i have 21 codes to access B.net with, because i physically wore out 7 disks by playing the game too much. i built 7 extra computers to build a lan in my house so i could play with my friends.... i still can wipe the floor with them in this game. 7 vs 1
3: Sim City 4 PC: mmmmmm build a city...
2: Crystalis - NES RPG, the first RPG i ever played start to finish. this one has a nice place in my heart... i will find myself responding with Crystalis when someone asks me what my favorite game ever is, the only reason it isnt number 1 is cause it isnt my fall back game.
1: Defender of the Crown: a simple game for NES and PC, i own both copies, old and easy, its my go to game when i am bored and start to think "i have nothing to play" something about this game makes me want to play it all the bloody time... and it isnt even that great!
