    Default Collecting

    Right now I'm focusing on the NES but I sometimes also buy games for the following systems:

    game gear
    SMS
    megadrive
    SNES
    Lynx

    I just love to search for these games and buy them for a nice/fair price. Too bad they don't have too many here in the Netherlands, but fortunatly there's always the US

    I basically collect all systems, but my main focus is on Odyssey^2/Videopac. I grew up playing Videopac and I hadn't even heard of the Atari 2600 back then. From my own experience, it seems very possible that the Videopac even outsold the Atari 2600 over here in The Netherlands.

    I am just starting my collection, so I'm focusing mainly on the NES, but I do pick up items for my Atari 2600, and I play quite a few games on my PS2 and Gamecube.

    Hmm, where I lived the Atari 2600 Jr. was pretty popular. One friend of mone had a Videopac though.

    I try to collect for everything, but that's a difficult task when you're a broke teen. Oh well.

    NES - 228 currently
    SNES - about 30
    Genesis - about 35
    Sega CD - 4 (not much for a collection, is it?)
    Saturn - 15
    DC - 15
    Lynx - 11

    If there's anyone near me, I'd be happy to trade notes

    Default My collecting habits

    Since 1980:
    Arcadia 2001 (one of the few who collects for this one)
    Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Jaguar, Lynx (favorite being the Lynx)
    Bally Astrocade (love Incredible Wizard)
    Colecovision (love it, but hate the dirty cart contacts problems)
    Fairchild Channel F (bought one of these horrible things again -
    (it was cheap and I couldn't pass it up. )
    :P Intellivision (this is by far my favorite system to play games on)
    Odyssey2 (my favorite system as far as sentimental value)
    (and it was my first big system).
    Genisis
    S Nintendo
    PSX
    Vectrex

    The most recent stuff I just starting collecting is the GB (all the different ones - GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP)

    NES: My all-time favorite. Having money in my hands its hard not to buy carts for my NES.

    SNES: I like this one too, but this does not come close to the NES.

    Odyssey^2: My first videogame!!! I cannot stop playing games like Killer Bees, UFO, Pick Axe Pete, etc...

    My other systems are:

    Odyssey^3
    Intelllivision
    Intellivision II
    Atari 2600
    Playstation
