I think I've always enjoyed collecting stuff. From when I was a kid back in the late 80s/90s, up to now.
And my childhood memories are centered around gaming (on 16 bit systems like the SNES, Mega Drive, Amiga) and great shows of the era like TMNT, Transformers and Ghostbusters.
In 2015, when we had our second son and free time was limited, I started collecting Nintendo DS games. Handheld gaming just fitted into the short periods of time I had available.
Over the following years, that expanded into collecting for a variety of systems, and I now have a game collection that will keep me busy for as long as I am interested!
In October 2023, I also started collecting TMNT figures, another throwback from the late 80's and 90's! Fortunately, I have a very understanding wife... and two sons that I get to enjoy the hobby with!
