I have an obsession now, a fetish if you will, but it's something that I have to do, something that I have this unstoppable driving force within me to achieve.
I'm going to collect EVERY PAL Dreamcast game that was ever produced!!!!!!
EVERY title!!!!
There's nearly 300 of them, but I'm gonna do it, that is my quest, my mission in life.
I just thought I'd let you all know, and thought it would make a nice change from "I'm going to collect stamps" or "I'm going to be a civil engineer" or "I'm going to climb Mount Everest".

That's the whole point. If I had money, I'd buy every stamp there was overnight and complete my collection, then what? Nothing, it's all collected.
The nice thing about DC games is that they are getting cheaper by the day now, and if I start collecting them either new or second hand now, bit by bit, then in a few years my collection, as the DC games get rarer, will shoot up in value. So I don't need a great deal of cash to do this.
I'm budgetting on maybe 1-4 games per month, so we're looking at a decade or so of fun here, not an overnight thing, and ANYONE can do it, even if you're on the dole you can pickup second hand games at a boot sale for £1-£3 every so often.
The main thing is, collecting games is a lot more fun than stamps, because when you play with a stamp you can't shoot anything.

I nearly have EVERY NES and SNES game released in the UK!
Although the game which makes me most proud is the fact I got hold of Maxi15 on the NES!
YEAH!

I am currently on a mission to get every megadrive game, and currently have 130.
Oh well, only about 600 to go...

(I'm beginning to think hiring FM wasn't such a good idea.)
Well, don't blame me when our budget suddenly vanishes. You're the one that hired him.
