Greetings! I was so excited to find this community on the web. I've been an amateur video game collector for a few years now - well, all my life really, but only now seriously. I was the kid who never threw the boxes away, etc.

Anyway, since gaming started with the whole collector's edition craze, I was right there buying them. Initially it was because they generally came with a soundtrack or making of DVD, but I've amassed so many of these things that's it's getting serious. Fortunately, I have a very understanding wife. I also have some non-collector's edition vintage PC games.

I'll try and get some photos together, but for now (I'm at work) I'll just list some highlights of my collection. Note - I've always been a "remove the shrinkwrap" sort of collector. All of my games are used, but I do try to keep the boxes etc in good condition:
