Amazing collection Rupert. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you think it cost to create such an extensive collection? I couldnt honestly say. Ive been collecting fairly solidly for about 2 years now. The spending has eased a little as I don't see as much that I need, allthough the things I still need tend to be dearer items.

So Smurfs 2 and Mai Jong?

Please tell us how much you 'probably' paid in these 2 years, and what kind of job you do, this must somehow have cost a fortune, but then we know what we have to save

I don't think he should be forced to tell you any details of his private life. Mosts SMS games can be got for well under £5 and I'm sure Rupert has the common sense to utilise this.

Rupert has concentrated on sms, and the results speak for themselves. Loads of people spend as much or more than him on retro gaming, but buy lots of games for lots of systems, which while great in its own way, isn't as impressive as a single system focused collection with unique items.

I know of alot more people who collect for other formats who spend much much more than me. Like playgen says I only collect for one system so perhaps it just appears to be more impressive than the same amount of stuff but for loads of systems - plus perhaps the way I have it displayed presents it better - many collectors have there games boxed away, I'm lucky to have an unused section of the house to keep everything how I want it. Do you collect for the SMS? why not register to the forum and give us an intro of your interests/ collecting? My dad collects stamps - beleave me, video games are small fry in comparrison.

dibs on your collection rupert!!! I'm not selling it just my spares which are allready in the wants and trade section (probly page 3 now) and my GG stuff (newly posted) and most MD stuff (soon to post). I'm hoping to have my office pretty much free of games, I want to re-decorate it.
