Do you feel content with your collection?

My collecting has really kicked off since last summer. Before then, I didn't have too many old games (NES didn't work, SNES games were good but over-played, etc...), and my game collection was basically a ton of ROMs/Wii Virtual Console titles.

Last May, I had a ton of things happen in my life that got me to start buying old games. Sure, the ROMs are great, but it's cool to have the original carts.

Since last May, I've bought tons of games and consoles. I've got a hell of a collection right now. It's enough that I could probably spend the next year or so playing games.

The problem is, there's always something better out there.

So, am I content? Yeah, I am. But there's always something I'm missing. I've got Final Fantasy II for the SNES, but not FFIII. This drives me nuts. One hole gets filled, another opens up.

So, am I content? I should be. I am. It's just that I like going out and finding more games.

I'm pretty happy with the collection I have now, but I know it'll never be complete. There will always be games I want. Even if I get every game on my want list, I'll keep adding games to that list as time goes on. I would love to have a neo-geo someday, but I am fine without it, but once my want list goes down, and my income goes up, it will make its way into my want list and collection.

yeah, for me, it's very system by system
my saturn, dreamcast, ps2, and xbox libraries are all pretty satisfactory, save a couple games here or there.
but other systems, say my newly acquired gamecube and pc-engine, i'm not even close.
and then you've got the snes, nes, and genesis, where there're plenty of games i still want, but they're not at the forefront, but if i see them, i'll still snag them.

I only keep games in my collection that I like, so I'm happy with my collection. However because there are a lot of other games I've played that I like but don't own, then my collection still isn't completed.

The Sega Genesis for example. There are a bunch of games I need to purchase for this system and hopefully I get around to purchasing them before they actually do become expensive. Sega CD I own three games(Lunar, Lunar 2, Dark Wizard) and my collection is already almost complete, but it just so happens that the ones I like that I don't own are the really expensive games.

There's also a couple PSX games that I currently don't own that I want but I want in mint condition and priced affordably. Some I used to own but sold because they were my least favorites and I really wanted another game that came out, or some I've never owned. It's not a complete collection, but it'll be all the games I want to own so it'll be complete for me. Atleast until I decide to collect variations of Alundra which one day I'll want to do.

Some systems I will eventually collect for but currently I don't. TG16, TG16CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast(I used to own PSO but I gave it away as I didn't own the system, I was just borrowing it.)

GB, GBC, GBA, SNES, NES. I'm missing a ton. I've started collecting CIB only so over half my NES collection needs boxes and manuals.

I'm pretty content with my collection. I have probably around 200 games and maybe five consoles, a nice mix of old and new. I don't like tons of shit laying around, so I will never be one of these collectors who has an entire room or section of a house full of games. I'm not the type of person that will hit the game stores, flee markets, and yard sales on a weekly or monthly basis and buy tons of games just cuz they're cheap. At the same time, I'm always on the lookout for something that catches my eye, and will pick up older, vintage games here and there. I only average about a half dozen or so new releases/year.

[PC-ENGINE HELL]

Honestly right now I have more then Id ever want, which is why Im ditching the Genesis related stuff. Im happy enough with my Pc-Engine, Nes, Pc, and NeoGeo Cd stuff. Most of my gaming is done on Pc these days, but every now and then on a weekend Ill hit one of the systems.

I'm not content with my collection (I have too much stuff now and want to sell most of it) But I do feel the way you described, Whatever I collect now is just for fun and is not just to have stuff. I'm only interested in collecting Saturn and Pinball games now.

NEVER SATISFACTIONS

Although I definitely am at the point where I have a huge backlog, there's still tons of stuff I'd be interested in buying. Hrm, I wish I was a better player, too...
