If I need a game I just pull out the box and game and then put it back. I use kallax shelving and skubb boxes (organized by system) to keep everything nice and neat. I store it in the finished portion of the basement. Realistically I could probably cull most of my collection and keep only items that are nostalgic to me or I know I would never find again and love to play such as Gimmick!

The wheel wasn’t anchored properly and fell over right on to my foot.Īre you collecting now, if so what anything specific? I was working on a Speed Racer conversion kit and was having trouble getting the wheel to line up with the control panel. Have you ever broken anything due to frustration from a game? Be honest, we won't tell. Have you played it? It’s a great game! (He's not wrong.) What made you decide to buy that particular game? The first game I remember buying myself is A Link to the Past. What was your first game you bought yourself? The NES I saved up half of the purchase price $50 and my parents paid the rest. 1997 for PC games, 1999 for Arcade Games, 2008 for Retro Games
