My love for Nintendo Videogames started with an old electronic device and a few blinking pixels.

In my very first years I got my first handheld: a Game & Watch — the ancestor of everything portable that came after.

Long before modern handhelds like the Nintendo DS even existed , this little device opened the door to a world I didn’t fully understand yet… but instantly loved.


This passion grew alongside my older brother. Together, we explored new worlds, starting with our first NES — a Christmas gift that would define countless memories.


From Super Mario Bros . to Kirby and The Legend of Zelda , those early adventures shaped my taste forever.

As time moved on, so did the consoles. The SNES era came next — where I spent more time watching than playing, learning every secret just by observing.


Later, during my teenage years, I finally had a handheld of my own again: the Game Boy Pocket .


At some point, life happened — and the collection was gone.

But collections, like memories, have a way of coming back.

Today, I’ve rebuilt what was lost — not just as nostalgia, but as something deeper. I enjoy every part of the process :
the hunt, the cleaning, the restoration, the organization… and of course, playing.

There’s something special about bringing these old cartridges back to life .
Not just playing them — preserving them.

For me, this isn’t just collecting.

It’s keeping a piece of gaming history alive. 🎮
