Nice!
We are the same age! 
So in 78/79 or so my parents had the Bally Astrocade. I still remember playing it, and a bit later at my dad’s friend’s house. Between them they got me hooked at those early ages on all things of the sort. My they got VIC20s after that, followed by C64s when those released. Also had 2600s, Intellivisions, etc. I think I was about 5 when we got our 1541 floppy drive. Later on we started all dabbling in PCs in the XT/286 era, had Amigas, and other things.
I’ve since owned just about every significant computer/game system, and for the ones that I didn’t own, I’ve emulated or started using on my MiSTer now. 
I’ve been collecting demos since around 1986 or so. But also collecting game ROMs since emulation started picking up in maybe 1995ish or so? When people talk about preservation, I quietly think to myself, not to worry. I have it all.
