Your current game collecting bug...

[DeputyMoniker]

I know we have plenty of ongoing threads these days but I always get a new collecting bug and Id like to have one thread to talk about it. So post your bug too!

Out of nowhere I've gotten the Game Boy bug. I read in Game Informer that someone considers Pokemon to be the greatest game of all time. It got my attention and I'm now in the market for an old Game Boy & Pokemon Red.

Got the Xbox bug about 6 months ago, been at it since. I thought I was going to have another bug start a couple weeks ago when I bought 30 PSX games, but most of them are on ebay right now, so that one did not last. I will most likely stick with collecting Xbox, if I start collecting something else, my wife might Kill me. . It's good to collect just one thing, that way you can use the stuff for other systems to fund what you want.

Ha. My love changes every few weeks. It's good to focus on one thing...I could never collect just one thing though.

[xtremegamer]

it's hard to part with some of the stuff I found, but I would much rather have a game I will play than ones that are just worth more.

I have been recently leaning back to serious import shmup collecting. I just gotta stay away. I currently have a cart of shmups at play-asia that's going to set me back $750. Someone talk me out of it I have no control.

Follow your heart, brother. Spend that money!!

You're definitely barking up the wrong tree around here. I say get 'em. Enjoy the games. You only live once.

Well, we're definetly not the right people to talk you out of it. EVERYONE here has no control---hence collecting assloads of games we'll likely never play. If its a good deal, go buy em!!

I've always been a die hard SEGA fan myself, with the Mega Drive being my all time fave system, but I'm currently interested in collecting for the Super Famicom again (like the 4th time). There's a lot of BEU games I didn't realize had come out for the system that I have to collect it. Only this time I've got to space out the purchasing a bit.

I'm trying to get the rest of the pinball sims I want. So far this year, I've acquired:

Pinball Quest (NES)
KISS Pinball (PSX)
3D Ultra Pinball: Thrillride (GBC)
Disney's The Little Mermaid II: Pinball Frenzy (GBC)
Sonic Advance + Sonic Pinball Party (GBA)

The NES bug still continues. So far, I've acquired 11 games:

Adventure Island (loose)
Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers 2 (loose)
Contra (loose)
Iron Tank (loose)
Kung-Fu (loose)
Mappy-Land (loose)
Pinball Quest (loose)
Shadowgate (loose)
The Simpsons: Bart vs. The World (loose)
Sqoon (loose)
Tetris (loose)

Small potatoes compared to some of the NES hauls I see in the finds threads, but I'm kinda picky. I've really gotten back into the NES since I got a Top Loader last October and the bug hasn't died down.

I have a small Gamecube bug. For the longest time it was hard to find anything I wanted, at least on the cheap. Then within the last two months, I got City Racer and True Crime: New York City on Amazon.com, and splurged a bit on Need For Speed Carbon. I need one more to put me at 60.

I've been into the Genesis bug again, and my Genesis is at home while I'm at college. In the mean time, I've bought Comix Zone, Pigskin Footbrawl, Toejam and Earl, Zombies Ate My Neighbors and boxes for two of my favorite Genesis games: Mortal Kombat and Bonanza Brothers.


In the mean time I have also caught the Jazz bug.

For some reason all of a sudden I wanted to collect for the Intellivision. The odd thing is I don't even own one :P. I started to do some research and it sounds like a very appealing system, and a system that I might actually be able to get a some what complete collection for. I actually bought my first Intellivision today. Can't wait for it to come.

But I'm still into collecting stuff for the Atari 2600 and 800XL w/ 1050 floppy disk drive.

Snes and genesis!

I've decided my next MVS game would be Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings 2. And while I'm at it, I'd pick up some more carts I've been meaning to get.

But all my attempts to get Aero Fighters 2 have failed miserably, so the MVS bug was squashed before it really got started.

On this note yet off topic at the same time, today i got in the mail....tengen vindicators and rolling thunder ...clash at demon head, guardian legend, star tropics, section z, low G man and gradius.All commons i needed.To add to this thread further i think i am getting the NDS bug since i just got a system ...making two for this house ...two weeks ago.Though i have no illusions of complete collections for Ds at this point.

Current bug? The collect nothing bug, and play my 360 all day

[goemon]

I've been on a scrolling shooter kick recently. I've picked up:
DonPachi
Strikers 1945 (japanese version)
R-Type Delta
Einhander
Twotenkaku
Gradius Gaiden

I think I'll get DoDonPachi and move on to some RPG's and strategy games I've been looking at. Gotta keep some variety!

I'm busy collecting anything and everything Bubble Bobble right now. If anyone has anything send me a pm! This includes rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars, Bust a Move etc. I am still slowly trying to get one of every NES game (I think I'm at 375 or so). Also trying for every N-Gage game. I've been buying a lot of Shmups lately. And a few Neo Geo games here and there. It may seem like I'm all over the place but this is probably the most organized I've ever been

Dreamcast games.

I got my DC five years ago from my then girlfriend. I played it until she broke up with me. Then it went to storage.

I digged it out when I started finding Dreamcast stuff at the flea market. So far I've got around 55 games... and then there's my GBA, with 35+ games...

[MarioMania]

I have a Sega Bug..for the Next 2 Months I want only 32X/Dreamcast/Saturn/Sega CD

I'm going to get a few Game Boy Items in April
