Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.

I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.

I'm curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D

I don't really collect any one thing in particular, but I do have small collections of videogames and books.

I guess I've got a multiple mouse plushies. Not sure if I have enough to call it a collection though!

A small collection is still a collection :D What kind of videogames, just one platform/time period or all over the place?

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mostly PS4 and Switch games. Although I did buy a PS3 the other year and I'm gradually building up a collection of classics! I also have some Gameboy, GBA and DS games (but no cases unfortunately). What vintage consoles/games do you have?

I pretty much grew up with PS3 and Wii games and I still have a lot of PS3 games (only rivaled by my Xbox One collection), the Wii games were pretty much all lost along the way unfortunately. When it comes to vintage stuff I've got a PS2 (mostly to play Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4 on), a PS1 (Silent Hill 1), a Gameboy Color that's pretty much mint in box with some also mint Pokémon games I rarely play and a Nintendo 64 (European Pokémon edition) for which I have yet to buy any games.

I also have a few GameCube games but unfortunately no GameCube.

I sadly sold most of my Wii stuff a number of years back. And prior to that I'd traded my PS2 in to get the Wii when it came out.

Main reason I got a PS3 was to play MGS4 and the other Metal Gear games. I'm happy to emulate anything else that I can get to run.

Sounds like you've got a decent collection! Hopefully you can find a Gamecube at some point (are they expensive nowadays?)

Depends on the condition but they can get pretty pricey (at least here in Germany).
