Why did you guys start collecting games? I want to start collecting myself...

I'm a collector, period. I happen to also love games. So it didn't take much for me to get started. ... Is it worth it? Hell yes! I get a lot of enjoyment out of my collection and time spent finding out about new things.

As far as what to collect; well, I think it is just a matter of perspective and your own personal preferences for collecting. Unfortunately (for me) I didn't figure out what my preferences were until I'd been collecting for a while. You may have to spend some time/money before you figure out where your passion(s) really lie.
