Holler said the family discovered the break-in when they returned home Sunday evening and found that a shelf once filled with games had been emptied.

The collection had sentimental value for Holler, who said his mother gave him his first NES console when he was 11 years old. He spent nearly four decades building the collection, often searching stores, traveling across Washington and attending gaming conventions.

Holler said he had collected more than 860 games and was just three games away from completing the full NES library.

His son, Chris Sterling, said he grew up joining his father on searches for games. Now, the family is hoping to find the person responsible for stealing the collection.

Holler said the theft has left him ready to call the hobby “game over.”
