I’m not much of a collector of games, but I’ve seen a fair few collections in my time. Absolutely nothing – nothing – compares to this. PlayStation enthusiast Ahans76 is apparently the only gamer in the world with a complete collection of every single NTSC PlayStation 2 game ever made.
PlayStationCollecting has a full interview with Ahans76, which is worth reading.
“My entire collection consists of first editions,” he claims. “What first edition means is when a game came with a white Sony seal on the top of it. This is the version of games that I have. Some older games got a second release and the white Sony seal is not there. I did not collect those types of games. I made sure that all the games that own have the white Sony seal. Also no greatest hits versions, unless they made a game greatest hits with “extra” content. I think there are only 3 games like that and I do have them in my library. Those games are Devil May Cry 3, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition and Namco 50th Anniversary. I also have the original version of these games in my library as well.”
Ahans76 also had some advice for potential collectors.
“My tip would be to collect what you want,” he said. “Don’t be forced to collect anything that you don’t have any love for. My entire video game collection is post-NES. I wasn’t old enough for the Atari and don’t care about the Atari so I don’t collect any of them. I do have some rare older games in my collection like Minestorm 2 but that is just for the rarity.”
