Been a collector for many years on and off - I can't remember exactly as it's been 15 years since I last seriously collected, but at the last count I think I have >450 unique 2600 carts with a few full sets (Activision, Spectravideo, one other that I forget...) - and, yes, I have Chase The Chuckwagon :D
Otherwise, really into the retro scene with a couple of Amigas I need to restore, and a tricked out BBC Micro which has WiFi courtesy of a PiZero emulating a Hayes modem over the serial line, allowing me to cruise the BBSes like it's 1989. I also have something like 15 consoles of various generations boxed up in the loft - lost count over the years. I play mostly on emulators these days, but love the collection of hardware I have.
Just me over here, living my happy nerd life, 3D printing useless yet satisfying stuff and modifying the hell out of everything I can.
Cheers!
