Primary system for collecting?

[cheesystick]

After seeing orrimarrko’s topic on system rarities, a question raised in my mind: What is everyone’s primary system for collecting? I do understand that many people collect for multiple systems, but if you had to choose just one, what would you say is your main priority? The biggest obsession?

I do realize that listing every system is near impossible.I spent a large amount of time creating a gigantic poll, but only came to find out that there is a limit on how many poll options you are allowed to include, (how was I supposed to know?) . I scrapped the whole poll idea and decided that members should just simply post the name of their primary system. I can tabulate the results on a later date. I hope a lot of people respond to this. I think its going to be heated between the NES and the Atari.
Thank you!

Sega Saturn

Case of my limited transportation options, I'm with NES and Dreamcast right now with some random Genesis or Snes on the side if/when I find something I want.

At this moment in time, it's Sega Saturn.

NES, and if not the NES, then the SNES.

SNES is a good one because it hasn't been firmly established which games are true and blue holy grails, so you can still find games for it at very reasonable prices. Hell, the Mountain Biking Extertainment shit that DP said was the rarest games for the system can still be bought brand new from the companies' website.

Any system
What ever I can get my hands on for a good price

I guess if I had to pick one system it would be the old standby, Atari 2600. However, I'm having a blast collecting Genesis right now, so who knows?

Just because you can buy em new doesn't mean there are less of them out there than most other SNES games...

I'm still on NES, always will be, but it's mostly stuff that doesn't pop up too often and/or I can't afford at the time. (Like the NWC grey that popped up for $1400)

Right now, it's Genesis. Good and cheap.

Sega Saturn for me, too... I'm halfway to a complete collection of US games and I have a dandy collection of imports (all the shooters and most of the Capcom stuff)



Glad to see Joe's in on the Saturn!

[nesman85]

NES.

[josekortez]

Dreamcast, especially now that they're cheap.

[wberdan]

ColecoVision.

Vectrex would definetely be second
