Remember this? The lucky child and pretty much every video game ever printed. RedWolf over at VintageComputing was able to track down the owner and conducted a short email Q&A. "He's a bit reclusive (answering only 10 of 17 questions asked)," writes Red "and not exactly a master at typing the English language (I've had to clean up his answers quite a bit)." Huh, the greatest video game collector evar is not the greatest grammaritarian evar. Imagine that. (Is grammaritarian even a word?)

Vintage Computing and Gaming: What do you do for a living? Videogamecollector: Collect video games, for now.

VC&G: About how many games do you have in your collection? Have you ever counted all of them precisely?
VGC: I'm not sure if I really want to know.

VC&G: What has driven you to collect so many games?
VGC: It seems to be the rush of finding something I don't have. Or you can call it my addiction.

VC&G: Is the young boy in your collection pictures your son? If so, what does he think of your collection and video games in general? Do you ever let him play any of your games?
VGC: Yes, my son plays games. He has a few hundred games in his room that he plays.

A few hundred?! Notice how the Video Game Collector just tosses that out so casually.
