I'm not really a collector, in the sense of trying to collect everything for a given system. I just enjoy good games. I do buy complete in box items exclusively, though. The systems I collect for are: Atari's line of 8-bit computers, plus their 2600 and 5200; Mattel's Intellivision; and Coleco's ColecoVision. I also have a Playstation 2, a Wii U, and a 3DS, but I don't really collect for them. Outside of video gaming, I enjoy theme parks, watching movies, playing tabletop board games and RPGs, and reading science fiction and fantasy books.
Maybe you would have gotten away with it, but then you'd have to live with yourself. Could you live with that? Could you? LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
