Before, I would get games to play and collect. I loved getting the newest game, finishing it, then getting a new one. Those were great times.

However, as time transpired, I kept getting more and more games, to the point in which I could not play them all. To date, around 90% of my collection has yet to be played.

The problem of getting alot of games is that, besides never playing them, I get immediately bored with them when I do play them. Before, I would stick to a particular game, no matter what. Now, if I start playing a game and I don't like it, it will be "forever shelved", meaning that I may never play with the game again. Also, my patience has diminished quite a bit during the past few years, to the point that if the game is even a tad hard, I quit. It must be a GREAT game for me to continue with it.

Sometimes, I think I should stop collecting and play the games I already have. Hell, I bet I have enough games to last a lifetime.
I could not agree more.

But then again, I am the owner of multiple fullsets (Virtual Boy, HyperScan, N-Gage). I normally only go for American games. I just think it is awesome to see every single game lined up. I think libraries of a system are awesome. Now if you have all sports games for snes, that is not all that impressive (unless, of course, they are all complete in box).

I do enjoy looking at rare compared to quality. If somebody has some uber rare game, even if it is a crappy game, I think it is more awesome to see one of those than if somebody had every final fantasy game on ps1.

There are multiple types of collectors, and the joy of this site, is that regardless of the type of collector, it is all good here.

I enjoy looking at others collections regardless of size. For me, personally, I love fullsets because for me it is still all about the hunt of the games. It is very fun to do
