Herman, "The Game Scholar", fell in love with videogames the first time he played Pong at a local bowling alley in 1972. He began collecting videogames in 1979 after he purchased his first Atari VCS and then began writing his first book on videogames: ABC To The VCS, which wouldn't be published until 1996.
