Collecting Video Games... my most recent obsessive hobby. Actually I've been a lifelong gamer. My first gaming experiences were the Mattel and Coleco handheld LED games and playing Space Invaders or Defender at the local 7/11. When I graduated junior high in 1982 I received my first home video game console; the Atari 2600. In the years that followed I progressed to the C64, NES, Sega Genesis and Sony Playstation.

Sometime in 1999 or 2000 I was surfing the web and stumbled onto Digital Press, a very cool video game website. This led me to dig out the old 2600 and play the classics once again. I was hooked and started to search for 2600 games I missed out on as a kid. During my searches I quickly discovered how many other video games there were to be had. I figured, what the hell. I might as well collect those too.

To date I've collected over 40 unique consoles and close to 3,000 games. My collection is featured on Digital Press , RF Generation and items from it are featured on Fatman Games and
The Handheld Games Museum. My collection was also featured in the February 2003 issue of Tips & Tricks Magazine. A big thanks to Joe Santulli of Tips & Tricks and Digital Press.

This page is not filled with video game history or technical specs, I'll leave that to those better qualified. What you'll see here is the stuff that's actually in my collection, what I think of it and how it came to be in my collection. Enjoy!!
