Thats almost exactly my life for the last 4 years.   

Does this mean you got those last few games that werent released in Canada?

Very cool Leon.  I am in Swindle magazine this month as well.  It is a pretty small article but being publish is being published.  I got my copy in the mail today in fact. 

"The Gamer keeps pulling Sarah Kiriliuk back to the basement!"

Is it just me, or does that caption seem a little... unwholesome?

I can just imagine you dragging her by her legs as she screams and claws at door frames, trying not to get pulled down the stairs to the basement.

Is that the two of you in the picture, or did they hire models to pose with your NES boxes?  And which game is the one one you can barely see the edge of on the left side of the picture?

Very nice article, thank you for sharing!  I had a great time reading it.

Fixed!

Rest:

- the picture is me and my wife. 
- the collection is currently at my parents house.  It will be moving into my house at the end of this year (my wife and I just purchased our first home).
- the picture is of me and my wife, on top of my parents kitchen counter.  The newspaper photographer came with 2 D1-Mark III Canon lenses and lots of L glass (for you photo bugs). This is the photo that they decided to use due to space constraint on the page.
- "keep pulling into the basement" is an "inside joke".  My arcade machine, computers, TV, work bench, etc is all in the basement.   

As far as date is concerned.  I know she was a bit off, but you gotta remember, it's from her perspective.  No editorial editing or factual editing was done by me or the post.

So, which cool games did the Canadians lose out on?  (I know I could search through Stan's list, but a few prominent examples would suffice.)
