    Default I reached my 100th Genesis game!

    Ah, Finally I have a collection of one particular system that has actually gone somewhere.

    I got Phantasy star II to make my 100th non-repeat genesis game

    What was your 100th non-repeat game for any system?

    The only system for which I have in excess of 100 unique games is the Atari 2600 (296), but I can't remember exactly which title pushed me over the century mark.

    Anyway, congrats on the achievement. Between 16-bit, 32X and CD's, my Genesis library is the 2nd largest in my collection - approx 80 titles. This is a little surprising to me since I'm predominantly a pre-NES gamer and I wasn't a fan of Genny at all in its day, but I've come to appreciate it much more since then. It's a great system.

    Yeah, congratulations. How many of those games are "good" in your opinion? Some people only buy the games they enjoy and if you've accomplished that then you're on a good track. Also, are they primarily CIB or boxed games?

    I'm at 90 boxed Genesis games, of which close to 80 have all the pack-ins. Loose carts, somewhere around another 70 of those which I'd like to complete some day and sell off a few I don't care much for.

    Default just a guess

    i never really kept close enough track to see when my nes collection went to over 100 unique carts but id like to think it was that mint copy of final fantasy that did it hehe.

    well what really helped me was the fact I got 30ish of those games free.. so I have a lot of sports titles. Otherwise the rest I bought because I loved them when I played my sister's Genesis or I'm back tracking a series.

    So I take it you like sports titles to that degree or has it been brutal? I've always thought about what it'd be like to keep a record of every game transation to build a general trend of a collection. Generally I see people stocking up on sport titles then slowly accruing particular genres, series or publishing company games.

    nono, I got those for free. I hate sports titles. A company was getting rid of them so I took 'em.

    Freaking insane, bought my 100th SNES game in like... 6 weeks? Can't remember off the top of my head, but for a period of time there, I was seriously buying like 4 games a day off teh 'bay.

    And certainly not a bad game to honor the milestone with

    The only system that I went over 100 games with was the Genesis. At its largest, my Genesis collection had 189 unique titles with about 85 of them being complete. Unfortunately, I have liquidated most of them and now have about 40 or so left with about 20 complete. My biggest collection now is PS2 with about 80 with the Saturn being not far behind at 50 - 60, with a mix of US and Japanese games.

    Congrats!!!, I remember getting my 100th N64 game during this summer(the only system I have over 100 games for so far).

    The game was ShadowMan, and it was worthy of the 100 mark. It's a good feeling indeedm hitting the 100 mark for your favorite console. I can't wait to hit 200.

    Congrats man, I'm almost there with Genesis games. I think I'm at about 75 with only 2 sports games. Unfortunately, I can't find boxed genesis games lately.
