Heroes of Time: Getting to Know Flavio Quattrone

Hello! My name is Flavio and I have been a video game enthusiast since I was a child. My passion for Resident Evil started thanks to a childhood friend of mine: the first time I saw him playing at his house, I was completely fascinated. The atmosphere, the tension, and that different way of telling a game struck me right away. From that moment I began following the saga and, over time, it became my favorite.

Nowadays I especially like horror games and retro gaming. Collecting is a way to preserve those memories and continue to live a passion that has accompanied me for many years. Each game I keep in my collection has a particular meaning and reminds me of a different moment in my life.

2. Collecting as a hobby means maintaining a deep connection with our past. What are your all-time favorite titles? Tell us about your collection.

My collection is mainly dedicated to Resident Evil, because it is the saga to which I am most attached. The installments that I hold closest to my heart are Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil Code: Veronica. In addition to these, I also collect other horror games and retro titles that I consider classics.

I don't collect just to have lots of games, but because each piece has a story. When I look at my titles, I relive many memories tied to this passion, and that's what makes my collection special.

3. By having your title graded you have made an important choice. How did you come to know the world of grading?

I got to know grading by following other collectors and reading more and more about the world of retro gaming. At first I was curious, then I understood how important it was to protect the most beautiful pieces of a collection. This was my first experience and I must say that I was really curious to see the final result.

4.⁠ ⁠What were the main reasons you wanted to rate the title you brought to us?

I decided to grade my Resident Evil for Sega Saturn because it's one of the pieces I care about most. Since it's still sealed, I wanted to preserve it in the best possible way and protect it over time. To me it represents not only a rare game, but also an important part of my passion for Resident Evil. Grading seemed the best way to enhance it and preserve it as it deserves.

5.⁠ ⁠When the title was finally returned to you graded, what did you feel?

It was a real thrill. When I saw it in its case with the assigned rating, I felt a great sense of satisfaction. Knowing that one of the most important games in my collection is now protected made me really happy. I believe that anyone who has a passion for collecting can understand that feeling.

6.⁠ ⁠To conclude, which aspects of our service did you like the most?

What I appreciated most was the professionalism and the care with which the whole process was managed. I have always felt that I was entrusting my game to people who share the same passion. The final result also impressed me a lot, and seeing my Resident Evil for the Sega Saturn finally graded was a great satisfaction. Certainly, if in the future I decide to have other games from my collection graded, I will rely on you again.
