OFF TO THE RACES

While we’ve often featured collectors who collect games based around specific genres or franchises, we’ve never had a collector like Jon Gage before.

Jon actually has two collections. One has morphed into the Norwich gaming cafe One Life Left the other is focussed around Formula 1 games and it was fuelled by two things. “As a ten-year-old in 1991, my first console was a Sega Master System 2, and with,” Jon tells us. “ was the one game that made me fall in love with games and indeed, driving games in particular.” That passion for racing was fanned further due to Jon’s father, who introduced him to real-life Formula 1. “I have fond memories to this day of sitting with my dad cheering on Nigel Mansell against the great Ayrton Senna as Murray Walker exclaimed manically as each lap went by.”
