Hi everybody!
I am Glefferson from Brazil.
Well, I don’t know exactly what to say to you, so I am going to speak how I started my collection and what videogame means to me.
About 13 years that I collect old videogames. It all started when a friend of mine wanted to pass me back offering a his very old console in exchange to one pair of new SNES joypads and one cartridge that I had. This console was a Master System and it came with “Sonic The Hedgehog” in its memory. It was the first time that I knew Sonic. I fell in love for the first sight! Right after, at the same time, another friend showed me his Master System, that was an older model (Master System II by Tectoy, that is the same model by American Master System I, with the difference that everybody knows). And he had some cartridges and a pistol… And then I bought the console and the games for a very small price! Some time later, I found out a blockbuster in another neighborhood of my town that there were dozens of Master System games, that they rented in Master System time. And they were selling the cartridges for a price of a bottle of Coke. My other friend didn’t believe in my luck… He thought that I would never find games for that console…
Since then, I have been looking for cartridges and consoles in second hand shops and old things in my town and region. Luckily here we always find things like this in these shops, some shops even dark and far away, that make us feel afraid… But my first Atari console was a little different. I crossed my town on foot to go to another friend’s house. His uncle had an Atari 2600 “Darth Vader” abandoned on his garage floor, it was crashed and mistreated. I bought it and I fixed and restored it! I have it until today! Along the years, I kept on buying other old videogames consoles in these shops that I mentioned and some games too. But the most part of games and consoles I got from my friends that wanted to give a little help to my collection. Although I found my last console at a garbage site… About 3 years ago I knew a guy that also collect old videogames, but he buys brand new and complete items and buys them from sellers all around the world. And that’s when my collection begins to be a more serious thing, because I bought a lot of things from him and we participated of the several auctions over the internet.
Well, among my consoles, my favorite ones are the Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis for you), and the legendary Dreamcast. This last console touched me when I received it by mail. It was an 11 year wait…
I’m very happy to be participating of this community! I hope I can make many friends here!
I only ask that you have a little of patience with me. It’s been only four months since I started learning English…
