Video game collectors come in all shapes and sizes. Some people want all the games from their childhood or they want to have all games in a series. Going for a full set on a console is not something unique, there are “plenty” collectors out there with a complete collection for the NES, Super Nintendo or any of the other old school systems. For the Playstation 1 however, full sets are very rare because of the enormous amount of games that got released for the system. Jason Dvorak is the only known collector to have a complete NTSC (USA) set for the Playstation 1.
And when we say complete, we mean every game and every variant known to man!

The King of Collectors: Full Playstation 2 NTSC Library Sealed!
Most kids of the 80’s and after played video games in their youth and some of these kids kept the games of yesteryear for nostalgic reasons. What happens if this kid continues to buy old video games for the sake of having them, for the sake of completion? A video game collector is born!
Now, odds are that you’re a video game collector yourself since you’re reading this intro. Our kind has different types of collectors: people with certain criteria (RPG, sealed, unofficial etc) and completionists. These completionists want every game in the library of a console, which can be a fairly easy feat for some consoles and a near impossible task for others.
Our community member Ahans76 is someone that went for the impossible… and pulled it off!
In this interview we talk with Ahans76, who to our knowledge, is the only collector in the world to have a full NTSC Playstation 2 library!
Read on to find out why he started collecting and how he pulled off this amazing feat.
Oh.. did I mention the entire PS2 library is sealed? Minor detail right? ^^

So I bought the Sphere360 accessory for the PS1
Silent Hill variant
Let me start by saying that sites such as Game Rave are a treasure trove of information for a “cherry picker” such as myself. I LOVE looking for variants. I don’t think I need to post a link to Game Rave as I am sure we all know the site. Thanks again and again, Jason. Continue reading
Violence, Feelings and Death in Games.
This is a very strange topic for me to even consider but recently i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. There have been some really awesome moments in slaughter, the No Russians episode in MW2, dismembering people in SoF, having sex with a prostitute in GTA and then kill her to get your money back or doing cool stuff as Kratos in God of War.

Sealed collecting, the logical next step?
Untill a few weeks back, I’ve always refrained from buying sealed games unless they were very cheap. I’m a collector first, but I’m also a gamer and I do wanna play the games (or atleast have the idea that I can play them). However, something changed.. Continue reading
