I have been collecting video games since I was a child, I have acquired quite the collection over the years. I have focused mainly on Nintendo and Sony items, as those were brands that I grew up with. My first game system was the Atari 5200, which was one of the most poorly designed systems ever created. On December 25, 1989 I finally received a Nintendo Entertainment System which I still look back upon with fondness. When I received a Super Nintendo in 1993, we sold the NES I had, along with most of the games. Fortunatley, my grandma purchased a NES for the reason of "she wanted something for me to play when I came over." To this day, I believe the real reason is she just wanted to play Tetris and Dr. Mario. I still have that old NES in my collection and it works after a few blows on the cartridge.

My collection ranges from the common NES games like Super Mario Bros 3, to the rare curiousity like the Virtual Boy or the Famicom Disk System which is from Japan.
