Hello.
I'm glad I have finally found your forum.
I have been a collector of video games since 2001. I have over 200 SMS games, 30-40 original Game boy games, 50 playstation 1 games, 50 odd Saturn games, 30 game gear games, 30 Mega drive and 10 mega CD games. I have a few old magazines from the era too.
As you can see, my first love is the Master System. I first played on one at the age of 7 in 1993 when we got one from boots I think with gift tokens. It had Sonic built in and we bought Rastan and Populous for it.
It broke of course and years later I remembered back to my enjoyment and started to collect them all! Originally just to have more games to play with so I wouldn't get bored but now I have nearly every game. I don't bother with rarities I just want one good copy of every game with the manual, cart and box in fine condition. I have a few American versions I bought by accident like Moonwalker, Fantasy Zone 2 and Rampage but I also have the UK versions as well. I especially hunted down the American version of Captain Silver as the game was edited on that version. I have some pretty rare titles such as fantasy Zone the Maze but am missing T2 arcade game, smurfs and some others like the 3d games. I'll get them eventually I hope. I collect other games especially gameboy as many SMS games were ported to the gameboy like double dragon and rampart and it's interesting to see these games on different consoles.
I have some glasses, many pads, two sticks, two phasers and 1 competition pro rapid fire controller.
Collecting Playstation games is not easy either as to find cases that aren't smashed to bits is a great difficulty believe me.
My favourite games are all the Wonder Boys, Captain Silver, Populous, Land Of Illusion, Shinobi, Rastan, Air Rescue, Sonic 2 and Kung Fu Kid.
Thanks for reading
