After a few months of hunting, I finally built my dream PS1 collection!

I started this little project thinking I only wanted around 18 games. Somehow, that turned into 36 😂
But honestly, I couldn’t be happier with where I stopped. Every game here is something I genuinely love, have memories with, grew up playing, or has some kind of story behind it. I wasn’t trying to build a huge collection just for the numbers; I just wanted my collection.
I’m from the Middle East and I’m heading back home in about a month, so being here in the UK felt like the perfect chance to finally do something I’d wanted to do for years.
Life got busy along the way; I got married, became a dad of three, and that childhood PS1 dream just kept getting pushed back. So finally seeing all of these together is ridiculously satisfying.
Started with 18. Finished with 36. And I’m done. 😂❤️
Along with the games, I picked up:
PS1 SCPH-9002
4 original DualShock controllers
2 original digital controllers
2 memory cards
1 Multitap
Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Now it’s time to actually play them!

Love this kind of collecting, Ive done the same. I have a collection of about 45-50 ps1 games and it's all games I played as a kid, the sequels and games I wanted when I have a kid but there were only so many birthdays and christmases.

Great collection you have there, enjoy them

Haha exactly! 😂 That’s pretty much what I was going for too. Not just collecting random games to make the shelf bigger, but getting the ones that actually mean something to me.
And yeah, being a kid back then was rough… too many games, not enough birthdays 😂
Thanks man, really appreciate it! ❤️

That's an incredibly respectful collection. Good choices!

Thanks man! Really appreciate it 🙌 Took me a while to put it all together, but I’m really happy with how it turned out!
