Do you collect anything? How did you start? (lemmy.world)

I find that most people in my life have at least one "thing" they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

Tiger R-Zone games, and the consoles. It’s a nice collection, because the library is pretty small.

As far as I know, I’ve got one of the most-complete, if not the most-complete collections out there, and one day I’d like to donate it to an archive or museum for caretaking. At this point, the only confirmed game I’m missing is the incredibly rare soccer game (“Football”, as it was sold—and rightfully so).

The system brought me a lot of joy as a kid, despite its simplicity, and I think the difficulty to collect it makes it easy to be forgotten to history.
