How long have you been collecting for Video Games?

[SwiftDeath]

So I joined this site last fall and had been collecting video game steelbooks and collector edition guides for about a year at that point

Had some CE's but not many, didn't actively collect them

Since I've joined though I've gotten rather passionate about collecting a lot more things.

CE's, Press kits, art, promos etc.

I'm curious how long people have been collecting as I am really starting to feel like I've come to this late and will never catch up

I'm starting this thread as I think a lot of people probably started collecting before they joined this site

Feel free to post about your time collecting too

More than ten years for me.

Very impressive

So at what point did you think of yourself as a collector?

Do you remember the console you were on at the time for instance?

Well you could say I started collecting since I got hooked on computers and gaming in general, I was eight at the time and it all started with the Commodore 64. I basically haven't stopped since.

I'm 35, so that makes it 27 years! Holy shit, didn't think it was that long, haha.

And here I was thinking whether or not to include that last category

Rarely see retro game collections on here after all

That's because there is no where for us to display them
My outdated retro is in my intro section

Thanks for the link! I still can't believe how he managed to have all those 360 consoles. Plus that fallout statue made my jaw drop literally!
