What do you collect and what is your goal?

What do I collect?
I collect anything/everything with a focus on the rarest/most obscure items possible with a strong emphasis on prototype hardware.

What is my goal?
My primary objective is to provide useful resources and information on otherwise lost/forgotten/unknown items and their history, particularly items of particular interest such as that of unreleased hardware. However besides the research and procurement of unique items, to also offer an source for general information on particular items within my scope. Feedback is welcomed and highly encouraged as are questions.

When did you start collecting?

Honestly I cant recall, but it was a long time ago.

How did you get the idea to collect video games/consoles?

How did I get the idea to start collecting?
It started out as a passion, growing up playing video games and my eventual involvement in the industry. Where I really started to garner interest in the more obscure items would have had to have been due to my time working R&D and QA testing, getting to experience unique pieces of hardware then, set the stage for my involvement now. Overall its the combined result of passion and deep personal interest.
