Hello and well met!
I am Edomaden. I've been a collector since college, but a gamer since I was knee high. I have games for every system from Intellivision up to PS4, but the bulk of my collection is from NES to Playstation generations.
I'm a rather OCD collector and try to get as close to everything complete in box as I can. If I'm missing something like the registration card, I typically don't sweat it, but everything else has to be in box for it to feel truly complete to me.
To that end, I've had a difficult time negotiating NES CIB and have for several months, been putting together a spreadsheet of everything that has come packaged in those boxes. It's been a very exhaustive experience, luckily the work done by 'the_wizard_666' on gamefaqs has gone a long way to completing this journey. In one of my multiple internet searches I came across this site and immediately fell in love with it. Since joining I've been added my spreadsheet of packaged items to Nintendo games.
So if you're browsing NES and find 'Came Packaged With' under Description, that's me. I'm very thankful for the admins approving my edits to that so far. It's at the least a note to collectors on what to expect with a complete packaged game. I've also been filling out other missing fields as I make my way through my collection. I'm enjoying contributing to the site so I'm in no rush to finish my collection....it is over 1000 games now....
I also have a Youtube page of video game endings: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB17Y5f_Ab4Hv7ebNdI3Ayw?
I am also looking to perhaps one day publish a book about game collecting- the experience, gaming history, and the notes from my bloody complete in box spreadsheet.
So if anyone wants to chat games, I'm a great source of pointless trivia, history and knowledge.
