Wat verzamel je en wat is je doel?

I collect game consoles and games I am interested in for each platform. I collect for Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, Xbox, Neo Geo, and TurboGrafx.

Wanneer ben je begonnen met verzamelen?

I started collecting late 2020.

Hoe kwam je op het idee om video game voorwerpen te verzamelen?

I was finicking with some old consoles of mine when I got the idea to look into older games from my childhood systems that I may have missed. I was introduced to retro games by relatives with the NES.

Wat is je favoriete verzamelstuk en waarom?

Both my 3DS XL and my New 3DS XL. I picked up my original 3DS XL in 2013, getting the special Luigi Edition model, and got my dark red New 3DS XL in 2015. Growing up these were my favourite consoles, and in large parts still are.

Welk verhaal of welke ervaring is je het meest bijgebleven tijdens je verzamelperiode?

Summer of 2023, I was on vacation and went to a local antique store. I netted a CIB copy of Startropics for NES. Later I put it in a bag with some leftovers from a restaurant. Unfortunately my leftover salad spilled and left an outline on the bottom of the Startropics box and the smell of salad. I spent the rest of that day cleaning it and used body spray to get out the salad smell. Today, the outline is gone and the only way you'd know the box was damaged is that it still smells like body spray.
