Marry someone who is also a gamer 
My wife owned the PS2, Dreamcast and Megadrive and we consolidated our collection of Gamecube and Wii stuff.
Everything else is either games I owned and kept growing up such as the N64, Master System, Lynx etc. Or it's games I begun collecting and hunting down at second hand stores and trash markets. Some of it was just luck, like the Commodore Collection which takes up about 2 or 3 large storage tubs was bought for about $50, including all the necessary hardware. The PS1 stuff was even better, bought from someone my wife worked with for a measly $20. Some of the games in the collection he sold to us are worth more than $20 on their own.
