I collect games which I hear are good. I really don't have any preference for any particular system, but I just recently noticed that I only need 6 more Vectrex games to have a complete collection, so I'll probobly be trying to get those soon.

I collect nes for the most part, but find myself picking up other stuff here and there.
I collect for every system I own - 2600, 7800, NES, SNES, GB, GBA, SMS, Genesis, Saturn, DC, TG16, PSX and PS2. I also collect different series of games... right now I'm working on trying to get every version of Castlevania, Gradius, Strider, Splatterhouse, G'NG and Kujaku-oh that I can find.
I collect only stuff I wanna play (the list is long enough as it is!) for the Atari 2600, the NES, the SNES, the Gameboy/Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance (I have a GBC and a GBA), the GameCube, the Sega Master System, the Genesis. the Game Gear and the PSX. Computer-wise, I'm into Mac games, from System 7 to OS 9 (I have a IIcx and an iMac).
All I'm missing is a Colecovision and a PS2 (that's for when I have a steady income again), and I'll be a happy camper.
Now to make place for all that in our 1-bedroom apartment: that's the challenge.
Right now I'm interested in collecting all systems then building a good selection of games for each one. Right now I have 13 systems hooked up to one TV. I'm using 2 (PS2 style) 5 input s-video switchers and about 4 stacked RF units. If I had unlimited time and money I would buy everything.
Atari 2600 (127 games)
Nintendo 64 (42 games)
Colecovision (38 games)
Playstation 2 (89 games)
I collect for any and all systems, and anything video game related. I stick to the thrifts and fleas looking for the cheap find. Occasionally I'll splurge at a game shop or eBay if it's something I really want.
The systems I have the most stuff for right now are the 2600, NES, Genesis and Dreamcast. I don't have a complete library for any system yet but intend to one day. I figure if I get within 10 games to complete a library I'll zero in and finish it off or try anyway.
Right now I've got about 40 different systems and aroung 2500 games. My collection lacks focus for sure!
Lately I play more than collect. I've widdled down my collection to my NES, Saturn, Jaguar, Color Computer, PSX and Dreamcast. Like others I can't pass up a good deal, so if it's a game (or system) I don't have and the price is right, it's mine.
I collect for just about every system. The main systems I'm collecting for at the moment are the PC Engine, NES, SNES, and Sega CD (Trying to complete the collection once again!).
What I focus on seems to change every few months. :changes:
But, right now I'm mainly collecting for the Jaguar, Lynx, and DC. Gotta love the price on most of the DC stuff right now.
I collect anything I find cheap.
But right now there are 3 systems I always look for: NES, DC, and Sega Genesis.
I have 90% of NES games, 50% of DC games, and 60% of Genesis games. THe Genesis games are getting harder to find complete. :cry:

I know this is a old post but I am new here.
I mainly collect Genesis, 32x, Sega cd and Dreamcast but I will pick up anything if the price is right. I have around 20 systems and 600 games.
I mainly just collect for the NES because that was my first system. Right now I only have 130 different titles, but it's still growing.
If I see a good deal, I'll pick up SNES, N64, or PSX games. I dont even associate the word "collecting" with the newer systems. That freakin $50 price tag is killing me.
I'm another of the "player" kind. (i.e. I only collect what I will play)
I guess you could say I collect Saturn imports, because I've never gotten rid of one, and I never will (not even my crappy, disc-only X-Men: Children of the Atom.)
I own the following systems: NES, SNES, GBA, N64, Gamecube, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, Game Gear, PSX, PS2, and Wonderswan Color.
I hope to someday own: Neo-Geo (can't decide AES or MVS), TurboGrafx 16, TurboGrafx CD, and Sega Master System (mine just broke.....)
I posted on this once before, but it must have been deleted in the "Great Crash of 2002." As it says below, I collect NES, SNES, Gameboy, and a little bit of the N64. I guess one could say I'm a Nintendork (however, contrary to what others on this board say, we CAN spell). I've only been seriously "collecting" for about a year now--before that, I had always just had a "bunch of games," and only fell into collecting as I realized I had more games than anybody I knew. So, I figured why not try to get as many as I can?!
In that year's time of being a "collector" I've managed to amass a good start to a solid NES collection, and a decent sized amount of other Nintendo systems as well. I found an old 2600 this weekend, so I just might have to start a collection of those :wink: , but no plans as of late. So far this is what I have, I know its paltry compared to some on this board, but like I said, I've only been doing this for a year)...
235 different NES titles
36 SNES
24 N64
52 Gameboy (GB, color, GBA etc)
Oh, and now I can add 13 Atari 2600 games too!

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
i buy what i play. the "problem" is, that list grows exponentially every few months, lol, and i play too many rpgs, lol! i sold off/traded/gave away most of my pre-crash stuff (2600/7800/odyssey/starcade), but i kept my colecovision & vectrex for some wistful nostalgia. used to collect game+watch handhelds/coleco tabletops, but a load were stolen a while back, and i've never replaced them (now i just have no room for the smaller stuff- go figure)...
i'm heavily into imports for the ps/saturn/3DO/turbo grafx/mega drive/super famicom/ etc. but i have about 30 other system here not collecting dust for extended periods of time. just picked up a fm towns marty, so, i'll be tracking down stuff for that soon (shooters/arcade games/whatever's interesting)...
I collect everything as well, from Pong systems up to Dreamcast and beyond. I've got:
(7) N64, (80) NES, (39) Intellivsion, (21) Master System, (106) Atari 2600, (66) Genesis, (17) TI-99, (37) Dreamcast, (2) 5200, (2) Atari XE, (16) Colecovision, (3) Leisure Vision (Arcadia 2001), (3) O2, (6) TG16, (2) CoCo3, (5) SNES, (1) Jaguar, (6) Lynx, (1) 32x, (12) Sega CD, (25) Playstation, and (8) GameBoy/Color/Advance games.
If you look closely at the numbers, it mostly what I can pick up on the cheap that own the most of. Add in the systems (30+) including pongs, and the beast is growing. Over 450 games. Considering I had just over 100 last year around this time... wow
For me anyways.
I get games for any system and of the systems i have 2600, 7800, C64, Intellevision, SMS, Genesis, 32X, GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, N64, Saturn, DC, PSX, game gear, and game.com I am collecting 7800, nes, and am finishing my game.com collection.
