Everyone was young once- And when you were young, you probably played video games. Throughout history, we have amassed quite a collection of video game collectibles. Video game collectibles are video games, video game consoles, video game accessories and video game memorabilia that are vintage or antique, or that are collectible in some other form. Different people have different preferences when it comes to video game collectibles. Some people choose a specific console that interests them, and they collect every game, game guide, accessory and piece of memorabilia that is associated with that console. Some people have a specific game that they like, and they collect every version of that game and the memorabilia that is associated with it.

- A collector interested in console video game collectibles may choose to collect the NES, the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Then they may collect every Nintendo game, every controller, every guide, every piece of memorabilia, and any other related objects that they can in celebration of the NES.

- Another collector may be interested in video games as video game collectibles. Say a collector appreciates the Zelda series of games, so they collect every Zelda game regardless of the console it was released on, as well as Zelda books, movies, posters and other themed items that fall in with the Zelda concept. There are a number of popular game series out there that incite this kind of collecting, such as the Super Mario series, the Contra series, Castlevania, Zelda, Bubble Bobble, Kirby, and many other game themes as well.

- Other collectors choose video game collectibles that are especially rare. Some may collect arcade machines that are no longer in circulation, others may choose vintage pin ball machines. Some collectors may go for the rarest video games, or the rarest working consoles. Different video game collectibles have different meanings to different people – And the people that look for these video game collectibles are just as diverse as the types of collectibles that are out there.

Getting started in video game collectibles is actually becoming easier with the online marketplace, and the appearance of vintage video game stores, where the “old school” consoles and games are still available, albeit in a “used” or “pre owned” state. If you have a passion for video games, and you are looking for something that you can collect while furthering your interest in a passion, then it might be wise for you to consider the ins and outs associated with video game collectibles. There are so many video game collectibles out there, that you can grow your collection the way you want to, and you can enjoy your collection as well.
