I'm a huge video game fan. Over 6,000 games are in my library and just about every single game console
and hand-held released in North America resides in my collection. A lot more information will follow
on here shortly, in the meantime you can check out my
game list here which I maintain
with the excellent
Game Collectorz software.
My game collection currently includes the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Jaguar, and Lynx. I have
the Intellivision I & II, Colecovision, Sega Master System, Sega CD, Genesis, Dreamcast, and Game Gear.
I have an Amiga CD32 (technically the world's first 32-bit game system), the Commodore CDTV and
even a couple variations of the 3DO. The Leisurevision, the Bally Astrocade and the Fairchild Channel F
comprise my odd machine collection. For Nintendo I have the NES, SNES, 64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy, SP, DS,
Gameboy Micro and even Virtual Boy. I have the TurboGrafx-16 and Turbo Express in addition to the SNK
portable (and even an MVS SNK Stand up arcade machine). Speaking of arcade machines, I have an actual
working Deluxe Space Invaders, Galaga, and 1942 cocktail machine. I have the Sony Playstation, PS2, PS3
and PSP. I have the original Xbox (in various flavours) and the 360. The Philips CD-I machine whirrs up
every once in a while and then there is the incredible Vectrex too. Before you ask, of course I have
an Odyssey 2.
I picked up my 1000th PS2 Game - Chicken Little: Ace in Action
on October 4, 2007 and received a great deal on it from Microplay. Chris (the manager, pictured here) has been great at supporting my
collection and I highly recommend buying from independents like Microplay rather than big box stores where possible.
Interestingly enough, I bought my first PS2 system and game (Jak and Daxter) from the same Microplay around 5 years earlier.
Check out that great shirt too! My collection of PS2, my largest, is around 1200 games (June 2009).

Check out my
Pac-Man table which currently resides in Gameroom 1. This table was designed by Erin McFadden of
Dame Decor. She can
design for you something similar, including redoing the look of entire rooms! One of my fellow friends is getting a Galaga table done.
Although this picture does not reflect it, the table now has some cool Pac-Man coasters created by Lost Mitten - you
should really check out her handmade creations.
In Fall 2008 I completed my Microvision collection. This picture was taken on the coffee table before it became the Pac-Man table (see above)
In March 2008 I completed my Dreamcast collection.
In 2007 I completed my Virtual Boy collection.
In July 2009, my PS2 collection went over 1200 games causing quite a stir on Kotaku (click on photo to get the full effect)
