Do you have any personal COLLECTING "rules" you adhere to?

[jrokshady]

Any game that comes on a disc I must have the case/box/instructions.

Any cartridge game I just want the cartridge itself and don't need the box or instructions.

No stickers, cracks, marks, or writing on any cases or on any game in my collection.

For all disc based systems I have at least 3 spare cases in excellent condition in case I buy a game that has a bad case.

I have to have controllers for every controller port on my systems. Having a Nintendo 64 with only 2 controllers would necessitate buying 2 more controllers.

I will never buy a redundant system. Because I own a Turbografx-16 I will never buy a Turboexpress. I have a Genesis, so there is no point in buying a Nomad. Same goes for redundant accessories like the Master Gear or Master System Converter. Backward compatible systems don't count.

If a carrying case is available for a handheld system I must get one. If an AC Adapter is available for a handheld system I must get one.

I must have all add-ons that enable the playing of more games on my systems. Turbografx-CD, Jaguar CD, 32X, Sega CD, Expansion Pak on N64, stuff like that is a must for me.

If I ever win a lottery of $1,000,000 or more, or inherit or make that much money, then I will buy one copy of every single game ever released in the USA.

I'm not trying to change your mind or anything, but isn't the 'point' of the Nomad and Turbo Express to play the games on the go? I mean, I can see SEGA Master II, or top loader NES, Genesis 3, etc.. Those are better example since they're home consoles revisions, with less features to boot.

There is a chance that could cost more than 1 million. But it's hard to guess. It depends on what condition everything you bought would be in. Getting all PC games could also take a very long time as there were so many. You could probably build a decent coin op arcade in your home with that as well. Build onto your house and throw mad arcade parties!!!
