I haven't decided yet. Atari XEGS? Vectrex? Steel Battalion control set up and games? Commodore 64? PC Engine Duo? The new Atari 7800 expansion module being created by Legacy Engineering? Atari Jaguar CD? Atari 5200 Track Ball? All of those and more are being considered. But I can't buy anything big for awhile, because I just bought a new Panasonic 42" 1080p Plasma.
I really want a Tera Drive, for collectivity purposes only, of course. However, right now I'm focusing monstly on building up my Japanese PC game collectrion.

I just did a retro purchase today Looney Tunes Home Alone 2 for my Gameboy :P (just wanted some random GB games) and Majora's Mask for only 12.99 The next investment will probably be some more GB and PS1 games.

Vectrex...man that was a really interesting gaming experience. I never owned one, but a collector friend of mine had one and it was just crazy haha.
I'd love to have another Sega Genesis, although almost all of the games I want on that system I have on compilation games like Sonic's Ultimate Genesis and such.
It's a choice between these for me: -Sega Saturn Light Gun -Sega Dreamcast Gameshark -PS2 Gameshark as for soon to be gained games (I owned all of these at one point and traded them stupidly to FuncoLand, at least they gave better prices than Gamestop): -Marvel Super-Heroes: War of the Gems (SNES) -Contra (NES) -Mega Man 2 (NES) -Metroid (NES) -Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos (NES)
I've thought about using my dreamcast--which I just got back after an extended "missing" period--as an arcade of sorts. I have an older dlp projector that I like using for the lower resolution consoles and wanted to set it up in a fashion where I could have two dreamcast fight sticks in standing positions--with the screen being about five feet.
So I guess as far as purchases: I need two fight sticks, a vga cable, and all the classic DC fighters. (oh wait crap, powerstone has four players, doesn't it.)
I will continue to get games and accessories for both the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Genesis. A week ago, I remembered seeing a Virtual Boy with three games being sold for around $120. It is for sale at at vintage game and media shop. I might get it if it is still there. It comes with Wario Land, Mario Clash and Mario Tennis.

Wow, 7 years ago I picked one up, with 3 games, for $20. I remember when the system was initially being phased out, Toys R Us was selling them brand spankin new for $19.99. Yeah, I should have picked some of those up.

I have been always buying the vintage Nintendo Famicom Console (this is the first NES console ever released, 1983 in Japan, 2 years before the US released the NES) and I will keep buying this console from Japan. I sell them here in the US. But sometimes I keep some, just take a look at my small collection of these in my image-signature below.
Hopefully, with my Dreamcast purchase I can pick up Skies of Arcadia with it as well.
One thing I really like about vintage game collecting is that it is truly a hobby. It's not just heading toBest Buy and picking up a $60 game. It just amazes me what I can buy with $60 when I am looking to increase parts of my collection!
I just recently purchased Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES) and Final Fantasy Chronicles (PSX) from Amazon.com and my next one will most-likely be Final Fantasy Anthology (PSX), Alundra (PSX), or Azure Dream (PSX).
Probably picking up a Metal Gear Solid 1 copy for my PS1.

I think that's next for me too, along with Twisted Metal 2. I did own both at one-point and traded them in way back when Gamestop was still a great store and was known as FuncoLand.
ill never know what vintage stuff i buy , but i want these 5 games
1 top gear 3000
2 ren and stimpy big bakaroos
3 mario is missing
4 mario rpg
5 zelda 3 -snes version -i have the bottom two on wii but still i look for the carts
mariokart64fan
Just letting you know ahead of time, Mario is Missing isn't what you might expect, it's pretty lame in the longrun, but if you know what you're getting then that's alright. Super Mario RPG is awesome though
I'm really looking into getting Suikoden 3. I use to have the demo, and enjoyed it. I also really want to get my hands on a Dreamcast Arcade stick. I've got all these fighting games, and more often then not the regular controller can be cumbersome.
its tough to decide, maybe an SNES or a Dreamcast, or a 3DO. Not sure yet.
Helghast_Merc
SNES!!!
There, I decided for you. :D
I agree. And if not SNES, then Dreamcast. 3DO shouldn't even be a factor in that decision-making process. 3DO is a great system for a collector, and is probably one of the better "lesser" systems. But SNES has a large library of games, great exclusives, and are common to find. And Dreamcast has the same thing going for it, while not as many games, it has plenty of very unique and fun games, and are common to find. 3DO is rare, expensive, and it's library while not bad it's not nearly as good as SNES or Dreamcast's either.

It's really hard I hear to find a working Jaguar CD. Angry Video Game Nerd James Rolfe still can't find a working one, lol.
I'm currently replaying Metroid Fusion. As a result, I'm considering getting a Gamecube with a Gameboy Advance player attachment. If I can find one at a reasonable price (or at all), that is.
I really wish I didn't get rid of my Gamecube when I got the Wii. :(
