Likemany gamers, Tom Turner got into the hobby early in life. “When I was quite young, after one of my parents died, I spent a lot of time with my uncle who was only about eight years older than me and we spent a lot of time playing point-and-click games on his Atari ST,” he tells us. “When I was probably about nine the first console I owned that was mine was the Sega Master System II with Sonic The Hedgehog built into it.”
Going into adulthood, that naturally developed into collecting. “One of my ambitions when I was 10 on the GameCube. And just as a passing comment, I went yeah, if you get that for under 100 quid you’re doing well. And by the end of the week, it turned up in the collection. She spent £97.97 on it. Suddenly it was collection.”
