Gee, Carl. That's a pretty big Avatar you got there. I'd hate to get into a repeat of the whole argument I had with Csmosfm a few weeks ago, so go ahead and make it smaller.

186 games is a great start! Keep Going and soon you'll have a huge collection. Just out of curiosity, what systems are you focusing on?

Not to be rude, but kinda small for a one year collection. I was a year in and had about 1400 games. Hit more flea markets, thrift stores & pawn shops. Start picking up anything you find cheap and that you don't have....remember also that you can trade off what you already have if you find it cheap or make profit off of it on eBay.
Keep it up, its a good start, but you need more.

christ, you had to have spent a helluva lot on games either way. i've been collecting for a little over a year and a half and i'm not even that close(see sig) even with the feebies i've gotten. i'm guessing you dont play a lot of them?

Actually, no, for some reason its extremely SIMPLE to get cheap games here. I go out one week, come back with a car load of games, then come back out again a week later and grab a car full agian! It's lovely here!
As for playing them, nah, due to work schedule and game hunting time....I get very little play time. I mostly emulate at work because it's the only time I get to actually do anything. :(

Only odd thing is that I find a TON of certain systems (NES, Genesis, SNES, N64, A2600, etc) but theres certain systems that just don't seem to bring me much luck (O2, A7800/5200, Saturn, etc). I only have 4 O2 games myself :(

Ok collection for a one year collector. I am not really getting any new games because of the japanese guides I am saving up to buy.

I started collecting in about July last year and am now up to 538 games for various systems. And until then, the only systems I had were Nintendo's and a 2600. I'd say 500+ of those 538 were bought just this last 8 months. Geeze.. How much have I spent I wonder? I find it best not to think about the price lest we start wondering what better things we could have done with that money. (I'm thinking new TV, new computer, I coulda had a TiVo last year instead of last week and a GBA as well. But hey, who cares?)

I'd have to say he has some good variety atleast...he hits most of the main systems, with a handful of games for each...everyone has to start somewhere.

I have seen many games at flea markets and such but all too expensive. Like at goodwill there were about 20 sms games but were 4 bucks each. Didnt know what was rare at the time so didnt get them. I got about 17 total systems 3 which are boxed, 116 nes games, 22 which are complete, 67 sega games, about 45 are boxed, 33 snes games, 6 are complete, a few sega saturn and a few sega cd games, and a few game boy games. I have spent less then $200 on it all so I think I am doing pretty good sso far. I wish I had a car so I could hit up more flea markets and goodwills.

I haven't finished putting all my games up there, though. If only they would update the VIC-20 and C64 sections...

Do you guys have to pay to be a member of ign to get your collections put up? I want to get mine up, so that I can have an easier record for myself. And damn, car loads, fell free to send me some n64 games dude.
