Pixelboy Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yep, he's known as gooddealgames around these parts. And he also has his own online video game store, Good Deal Games (gooddealgames.com). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 His run at the record was profiled in the latest issue of Video Game Trader magazine, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would say that the individual and personal collections of John Henry, Joe Santulli and Sean Kelly probably far outdistance Mike's and that is completely discounting what Joe and Sean have in their respective stores. There is absolutely no shame in this fact either as Mike's collection is amazing as are a number of others that have been shared in video on here and other sites. I'm just glad that all I care about collecting for is the CV & ADAM considering how much time and effort this takes. I couldn't even imagine the time required to maintain some of these monster collections, let alone say just all the pre-crash systems.

Manoau2002 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I don't really understand game collectors who will buy anything as long as it resembles a game. I have no desire to own 23 different footballs games for the playstation. (or any games for the playstation for that matter)I understand collecting with a reasonable goal. (Own every Colecovision game)But there is a point where it it stops being collecting and turns into hoarding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree That's why I collect only what I like (ColecoVision, NES , few SNES games and Arcades cabinets of course) Ok, I admit, ..... I also have a pretty decent Playstation 1 collection as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sell all those PS1 games, put the money in the bank and use it to buy a better and bigger house than you would have. That way you will have more space in this new house to add arcade cabs when the time is right... although a fully decked out MAME cab would be plenty for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
