The collector Michael Thomasson, who entered the Guinness Book of Records last December as the owner of the largest collection of games - he had more than 11,000 of them in his possession, although the count officially stopped at 10,607 due to Guinness rules - was recently forced to sell his truly rich collection .
The 41-year-old historian and video game designer and 2D animation teacher recently decided to put family first and offer his collection to the highest bidder. 3000 US dollars, as much as he spent on average annually to feed his own collecting passions, was clearly too much for him to continue to maintain a parallel life. Reality takes its toll and he has already realized this well, because he doesn't manage to play more than three hours a week in addition to his family and work, which is normal for the "gamer" generation change.

Although it will be difficult for him to separate from truly historical specimens, he already has a built-in defense mechanism, as this is not his first separation from his 'little ones'. It was years apart from the first collection 1989, so he could buy himself a Sega Genesis console, and from another nine years later, when he needed one money for the wedding. Like any addict, he returned to his old glory days, but it seems that this time he will really recover, as he says goodbye to some truly historic specimens that date back to 1985. He says that it is not easy for him, but 750,250 US dollars, as much as he got from an unknown provider, will quickly dry the tears.
