Leading off the "would you sell your collection" post discussion (and especially Club Ninja's eloquently stated thoughts) comes the burning question of the hour:
What games do you ignore?
We might be talking series, entire genres, games from specific publishers, systems, or perhaps ALL games that aren't from specific series. You tell us -- that's why I'm asking! Hopefully you will also open a little window into your own personality -- by telling us what you don't care for or dislike, you'll hopefully shed some light onto what you really do have a passion for.
--------------------start personal ramblings--------------------
To start the discussion off: Megaman. I know the quality's there, no doubt, but I don't have a desire to play any of the games, nor buy them. It doesn't bother me one bit that I haven't played any of the games -- that's one less series to clutter my mind and leave me grasping for the names of my coworkers :) Of course I haven't any aversion whatsoever to the series -- cutesy characters and rudimentary gameplay haven't ever turned me off.
Another: Mario. Now THIS, this is certainly a tragedy. I haven't bought a new Mario game since I played Super Mario 64 back in 1998-ish, a game I enjoyed a great deal (though I probably spent more time in Mario Kart 64 -- multiplayer racers combined with a favorite game series tend to do that). I'm thinking about getting not one or two, but ALL the classic Mario games. Someday, when I have the money. Hopefully I'll find the PC-88 version in due time, as well.
Yet another: Most every racer, whether futuristic or not, unless it is:
a.) On the Sharp x68000 system (I buy most everything but "adventure" games for that sytem - I would buy an adventure game for it, but this stuff isn't exactly adventuring like Zork ;)
b.) An arcade style/futuristic game on one of the late 80s/early 90s Japanese systems
c.) One of the F-Zero or (quite strangely, since I buy few Acclaim games) an X-treme G game
I've messed around with two of the pro wrestling games on the N64...I like PC-Engine games but have no interest in the TurboGrafx 16...I barely acknowledge that CD-based games exist, but would buy a RAU-30 + card + CD-System for a SuperGrafx just so I can play Dracula X and Daimakaimura on the same system.
Finally: Most all GameCube games. I have a grand total of four GameCube discs, one of which is for the GameBoy Player. I don't play much of anything on it regularly outside of Phantasy Star Online (offline). GameCube games are too new for me, whoops.
