It was probably 1985 or 1986 was at Daycare and the owners son named Robert was a teen then and brought in Atari where he had a room set up for it (later added NES) and first game I tried was Superman on Atari 2600. Dad got me a NES in 1987. Still have it still works. From there it just grew and grew tho I was not allowed another console for 11 years so 1998 with SNES I played games in arcades and PC at friends houses and other consoles. Well ok I got a Game Gear in 1996 so 11 years on a console not system. That's when things started to gain momentum with gaming magazines and more consoles and games. Then few years ago decided to say hey I gotta play them all (the ones that interest me of course) I still have every gaming magazine I ever got. I got more books and magazines and merchandise and posters and t shirts and whew whatever man. Plenty of people with far more than I have but given my very constrained budget and I don't buy just to have more I buy what I want to play. I buy to play. I do not buy for value or rare just because. If a game ends up high demand or rare cool but I am not selling so does not matter. Proud of what I have not how much since as mentioned plenty with far far more. Many have seen it by now but click Game Collection in my sig to see the monster.
