That's an awesome collection you got, about ten times the size of my collection. But that's OK I have only been collecting games for about six months now.

That is one hell of a collection you've got there.

Are you more of a hardware collector or just have one massive collection?

I don't envy your task of adding all of your games in the collection tools Shocked

Anyway enjoy your time at RFGeneration, and I'll hopefully see you around the forums.

Very nice collection you got there, and a great history to go along with it!  Given that history, I would say you define the word collector Wink  There's always discussions going on at various forums regarding what defines a true collector, and I would say someone who's been going at it for 20-30 years is definitely a true collector Wink
