collecting is only as rewarding as the games you find, and the harder the search the greater the reward...

If you expect game collecting to last a life time and do not see yourself growing out of it then you should have time to explore all the angles.

Console collecting easy easier for the most part, though getting more difficult. Less common systems like the CD-I can be tough to hunt for, akin to PC games.

You might start collecting PC Games from the early 90's, they are cheap and easy to find. Then work your way back and forth from there. PC Collecting also requires a more tech. You might have to build your machines or troubleshoot them...hunt for drivers, etc...

i think collecting for PC's is the next level after console collecting, but that is not to say it is superior, just more complicated...
