Retrogame Collection
Are you a Retrogame Collector? I don’t consider myself one. Funny right? How can anyone with so many physical games not be? Maybe I am one now and just refuse to admit it. Either way, I’m new to the hobby. I may have been gaming since 3 years old on an Atari 2600, but I never kept my games long. In retrospect, maybe I should have. Aside from just 2 or 3 games I couldn’t let go from those days, everything in my current retrogame collection is less than 3 years old. I haven’t been doing this long and consider myself a noob in the hobby. And honestly, I don’t care about their monetary value. I wish they all only cost a few bucks as it would have been much cheaper to buy them all! Just seeing the old box art again and looking through the manuals brings back memories of each and every game I owned. Once the nostalgia bug hit me and I wanted to play all of my old favorites again… one thing lead to another. And here we are.
So this page is dedicated to my retrogame collection. Mostly Shmups, Shooters, Shoot Em Ups, whatever you like to call them, but many other old favorites too. I post most of my collection on Instagram, but my goal is to have some of my favorite shots here for anyone to enjoy. As a huge fan of PC Engine Shooters, and having completed my collection of every single one ever released (over 100! of them), I also hope to slowly catalog them here in photos and description.
I don’t make it a habit of showing off my games or flaunting them directly in my Youtube videos. I like to make cool videos about them, something of substance that can bring more love and awareness to them, and while I’m at it, show the specific game if I own it as part of the video. But I get many requests to do gameroom tours and videos showing the collection. In lieu of that, this page is where anyone can check out the goods.

Check back soon as I am adding a ton of new photos of my PC Engine, Mega Drive, Neo Geo, Super Nintendo, and many other top shooters from my collection.
