Wink Game journalist from Belgium collecting games, press materials and related stuff

Hello everybody,

I'm 37 years old from Belgium, a gamer since I was a 7 year old kid (I started off with Atari 2600, way back in the eighties).

The last 16 years I worked as a game journalist for specialized gaming magazines and newspaper. During those years I've kept almost everything (read: EVERYTHING) game companies have sent me.

Think complete games, special editions, promo copies, standard and debug consoles, stickers, posters, merchandising, T-shirts, figurines, preview discs and an awful lot of press kits. And so on.... and on... and on :-)

I've visited during all those years a lot of events like E3 and GamesCom, got invited into a lot of game studios. These are also interesting places to get some really cool stuff.

There are currently 1112 PlayStation titles in my collection: PSX, PS2, PS3, PSP and PSVita. But my collection is much bigger. From Atari 2600 to Nintendo Game Watch, from Sega to N-Gage. At this time most of my collection is put away in cardboard boxes since I have no space yet for a dedicated mancave :-)

But if you let me know what you really would like to see (or trade), feel free to ask. I'll see what I can post.

I thought I was the only crazy guy collecting all these press materials, but today a new world has opened for me. I'm not alone, thank God :-)

Since today I'm also active on the PlayStationCollecting-forum.

Today a lot of my stuff is in boxes after refurbishing my house. But I have really cool stuff. I will post some pics it a soon as possible.

Questions or requests? Don't hesitate.

Cheers

skoolboi aka FrogEy3

I'll check it out. But I only swap or trade things that I have more than once.

I really have to dig in my boxes :-)

No worries

While I'm certainly interested in that sort of thing

I'm just as interested in seeing pics of what you do have

Although I understand what it's like to have too much stuff then you could possibly display

mate and enjoy your stay here! You must have really interesting experiences being game journalist and visited all those amazing places.

Really want to see pictures of your collection if it's possible and you have some interesting collectibles outside the boxes.

If you're interested in steelbooks: I have one for the last Tomb Raider, but it's only the steelbook without the game or booklet
