I originally started collecting at the age of 7, when I began to buy NES games at Funcoland. It wasn't until I turned 12 that I began to collect for other systems, starting with the Sega Master System and the Genesis. About a year later I got into the Atari scene and I started collecting import games not long afterwards. These days I collect pretty much anything but I still focus heavily on 8-bit and 16-bit consoles and computers.
