I never had the Inty as a kid, it wasn't that big over here I think.
I was just curiuos to the system when I bought one for cheap woth a few games. I tested it two years later and the first game I tried was Shark! Shark! I immediay fell in love
Wanting more games I started buying loose ones but then I got my hands on a few boxed games! Oh that look nice in my bookcloset! So now I'm collecting boxed games.
I have spend to much money on games recently proving to myself that I'm prone to losing myself into collecting. I really have to call myself to a halt.
At the moment I am auto-mutalating myself with bacon as a punishment!
Homebrews, bought both D2k and Carol this year. These games are produced with so much love, game and packaging, that I am now crying over all the homebrews I missed out on. Especially King otm, Space Patrol, and Yogi.
So there you have... This is why I collect
