What do you collect? V2.0

[AlexKidd]

I know I have already posted in this thread before but while I own 20 something systems and have been collecting for all of them I have limited my collecting. I now collect mainly for nintendo systems(every one except virtual boy, don't have one) because I enjoy playing those systems the most and I'm sick of collecting stuff that I don't play. I will buy the occasional turbo grafx or 2600 game but mainly nintendo from here on. Hopefully I'll save some money.

It depends what I'm in the mood for. Overall....my NES and SNES have been the main focus of my collecting. Lately, I've been working on my Atari 2600 collection.

I collect mainly for the NES and SNES. I file every game that I have, such as when I purchased them, where, the price and where I bought them from. My Playstation 1 collection seems to be growing quite large so I need to start filing them as well.

The two main systems I collect for are the SNES and the N64. I'm mostly into playing games, not collecting them. For example I have an SNES flash card that plays almost every SNES game, so I am only collecting those games that the card doesn't play. For N64, I collect whatever games are both unique to that system and are fun to play. I refuse to collect for CD based systems, I've had bad experiences buying them in the past so I would rather just collect burned copies of the games. As well, I try only to collect loose games for the most part, because like I said I'm interested in playing the games.

I don't really collect for a specific system at the moment. I do however try to pick up as many rpgs and survival horror games as I can find, it seems.

[SeiruKoji]

I collect many systems and games. I even have controllers, games, manuals, cables, etc to systems I don't own. I also collect toys, videos, cereal boxes, and other things related to games and game characters.

Other than that, I collect a little bit for:
Genesis
Gamecube
GameBoys (all of them; DS, Color, etc..)
2600
7800

Plus, I've collected for the following (completed US collections, so I don't really 'collect' for them anymore:
Intellivision
Virtual Boy

Mostly right now for the SNES. I think I've got all my old games back on + some.

The psx, ps2, saturn, nes, are others that i collect for, but I'm not all "gung hoe" for them.

My true love is the SNES. Since I had one when I was a kid and I enjoyed it, I really wanted to collect for that. When I first started collecting I didn't even have a SNES because I had sold my old one. I collected everything that I didn't have when I was a kid like for the NES and Genesis, because I thought it would be cool, but I don't like them as much as the SNES.

I've been mainly collecting for SNES now. Trying to get all of the games I used to have (A couple more to go.. like Smash TV, UN Squadron, Mystical Ninja) and also I'm collecting pretty much any game I can find for the SNES. To me it's just a fun system to collect for.

Just started collecting the N-Gage today. We have 6 out 39. This is the first collection both me and my fiancee started together
We are also working on the PS 1 which we currently have around 400+ games.

[clawx]

I mostly collect for the NES, but i'll buy games for the SNES and Sega Genesis too, if they look intresting or I played them as a kid or they are rather cheap.

[freckledpeas]

I collect all game systems (minus clones and pongs). I don't think I'll ever have a complete collection for any system that I currently own, but thankfully, I don't really have an interest to. For me, as far collecting is concerned, as it's the hardware that makes me happy.

I've gotten into hobbies in music so I've started drifting away from collecting crap and started only really wanting to hold onto the game systems and my favorite games on each. The rest of the games? ahh there's too many to collect, not enough money and not enough space. I want my money back!

Still I think collecting systems rather than games is more interesting as you tend to really want to keep games that are a particular system's strong point anyway. Some systems really do well for certain genres while others not so much.

[RetroYoungen]

Wow... haven't seen THIS thread in a while! Anybody else have any updates?

I'm mostly focusing on newer consoles and any/all of my handhelds nowadays... my tiny collection of DS games is growing nicely enough, with more than a few gems. As for older stuff, I still pop in the occasional FamiCom title and hooked up my Sega CD a little while back (had to remind myself that I did indeed enjoy my time with Vay and - gasp! - Sewer Shark), but I'd love to actively go hunting for more portable-ish things.

[rgw825]

The only system i really collect for is the Intellivision. All other systems i only buy games that i want to play. But if i was to collect for other systems in the future it would probably be the NES, Atari 2600, 7800, and Colecovision.

[Game Freak]

I collect for NES and SNES, but buy mostly any other Nintendo-system game that looks interesting.
