While packing all my shit up to move I found the first pic I ever took of my old garage when I started collecting these games. This was around April 2003. What a sad, sad setup, ha. Glad I have the pic though. I remember that like it was yesterday...

Anyone else have the very first picture of their collections?

Sad is right. Was that pic taken with a Polaroid camera? Damn.

My pic isn't so old, but it's a "first" nonetheless. It was when we moved into our new house and I finally had a space for the games besides the garage.

A corner of my office in the basement. Oh yeah, in case you are wondering, my office was the original tuck under single car garage in my house...I wouldn't call it a Garagecade, but still..

Pic #1: my basement around 1985, about 16 years before I finished it off.

Pic #2: Halloween 2000. You can see Burgertime, the back of Asteroids Deluxe and Battlezone. Firepower pin in the background. Started collecting in 1998 and had 18 games in the living room before I finished off the basement in Aug of 2001.
