Ever Get a Game Before the System to Play It?

Cosmic Fantasy 2, got it when Working Designs died, got a Turbo CD just a few months ago.

Yup, I bought Super Mario World from a kid at school before I even had a SNES.

I spotted 3 CD-i games at a Goodwill a few months ago and couldn't resist. Still have to get my hands on a CD-i console though.

Star Wars Arcade 32x. Came in a bundle with a copy of super hang-on and a genesis game genie for $2.50 total. Also a saturn madden game for 25 cents.

Also saw a CIB space harrier 32x for $8 but didnt get it due to not having one. If I see it there again next time, I'll nab it.

Yep.

I have 2600, 7800, Master System, Sega CD, and Saturn games and I don't have the systems yet. I know I'm going to get them so if I see a good deal on a games for them, I'm going to grab them. No sense in waiting to get the system before getting the games.

Bought an import GBA game off ebay, didn't think I'd win the auction, but did, then had to go out and try to find a GBA (was still hard to find one without having to buy a bundle of extra crap with it at the time, well, other than pink ones, which were all over).

Bought PS2 Resident Evil Code Veronica X because there was some preorder bonus with it I wanted, but didn't wind up getting a PS2 for like another 6 months.

Had a lot of magazine coverdiscs before I had the systems as well, if those count. For instance, I had an Xbox and so would always buy OXBM, but didn't stop buying it when they went to 360 coverage, even though it was something like 2 years before I'd get a 360. Oddest one was probably this one OPSM issue that came with UMD with a demo on it. At the time I had zero interest in PSP. I did eventually get one (after it had been hacked and I use it mostly for stuff other than PSP games anyway) but a really freakin long time after getting that demo disc.

I have frogger for intellivision, a Sega Master System game (forgot off the top of my head and too lazy to look it up right now), a dream cast game, and i don't even own any of the those consoles.
