    Default What games/systems are you currently collecting?

    After my post yesterday about What type of collector are you? had so many responses of "Random," it got me to thinking yet again, but this time about what people are currently collecting. We all have such diverse collections and I'm guessing even if we are focusing on a few things today, it could change tomorrow. So what is currently in your "wanted" lists?

    Whatever I see, want, and have money for. If I saw an affordable copy of Badlands for the Palcom PX-7, I'd buy that.

    Recent series I've been buying: Ninja Warriors, Turrican, Contra, Splatterhouse (all light-hearted games LOL ). Genres: lots of sidescrolling action titles.

    Recent systems I've been especially buying for: SNES, Mega CD, PC-Engine CD-ROM, some Mega Drive, Game Gear.

    N-Gage for me. Since the games don't come out for it that often I've just been keeping pace with it. I've actually tried to slow down my collecting habbits in order to play the already many great games I have that I've barely played.

    I'm mainly trying to track down older stuff. NES titles like Panic Restaurant and foreign treasures like Ufouria and Hammerin' Harry. I'm always on the lookout for Saturn goodies like Guardian Heroes, Dungeons & Dragons Collection, and Dragon Force, too.

    I've decided to make this a low to moderate year for collecting and don't want to buy more than about 20 games total. So far I'm keeping pace for that. With that said, I think I need just a few cartridges (probably no more than 5 or so) to bring my SNES collection up to an even 200 at which point I'd probably call that collection finished. I was going to do that also with Playstation 1 but I've reached 200 and have continued to buy the occasional game there. Perhaps I figure that there are still good PS1 games out there that interest me while I pretty much already have all the good SNES games. I also have all 3 current systems but seem to mainly buy for the XBox with the occasional GameCube purchase.

    With so many systems that I own it's hard to narrow it down but the one game that I am really on the lookout for is the original TOEJAM & EARL game complete for Genesis.

    I don't pass up any game I don't have regardless of system if it's less than two dollars.

    I mostly look for SNES, Genesis and N64. I used to want complete games, but now that I have a personal inventory of 900+ boxes I'm buying loose like crazy.
    We saved some guy's life. Killed some vicious murdering lichs and blew up something big. I'd call that a pretty good night.

    My NGPC if I happen to stumble into the few remaining games that I need complete (8) and my PS collection. I'm over 700 titles and still have a good 500 to go but its slow work that has taken years in the first place. A few more wont hurt anything.

    And when I get bored and was spending moola like mo tomorrow I also was really going after PS2 and kinda going after Xbox and Cube. My PS2 run is well over 300 games right now and the others are both over 100 titles respectively.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    I'll buy anything I don't have if it's cheap enough.

    I'm still chipping away at the NES games though. I've only got about 50 more to go and I'll have a complete collection of US released NES games.

    After finishing my Euro SMS collection, I'm currently pausing for breath a little before launching properly into the 300 or so missing Mega Drive titles.
    Also picking up Mark III and SG1000 games on the side, aswell as anything that catches my eye in the wild.

    As always I am always collecting for PS2, but right now I am concentrating on upping my PSP collection. An expensive system to collect for but well worth it

    That pretty much sums me up, too. Although I've Sort of been thinking about trying to get into collecting for the N64, mostly because I've been seeing and buying alot of cheap boxed N64 games at the flea market and BlockBuster.

    Wow. I'm really surprised by the amount of people going for handheld stuff right now. The N-Gage is probably the most surprising to me! I was thinking about that too, because something with a small library that is pretty rare is cool to own

    Also, thanks to the mods that locked my other identical topic. The boards went down right as I tried posting this, and I had no idea if anything went over or not... It just loaded for about 10 minutes...
