[QUOTE="thegroove13"]

I'm hunting down the full libraries for the NES, SNES, and Sega Masters. I was shocked when I realized there were so many titles in these libraries, but even more shocked when I realized that I had actually played most of them. For me it is bringing back my childhood and hopefully playing the games with my kids some day.

Other systems get collected on because I want to play the games or because they were given to me.

Umm...yeah. I was a bit of a nerd and had no life back when I was in middle schol and high school. I couldn't rattle off all the names, but when I start popping the games in the systems I'm like, "Oh, I remember playing this. I never really owned them. My friends and I traded around quite a bit and rented a bunch as well.

Fulltime job here.

Family, bills, and such has really limited my purchases. I was buying up games like mad when I was buying and selling video games on ebay. I think I need to get back into that. I've got an itch to work on my NES collection and really go after the Sega Masters.

Wonder why it took so long for my wife to finally get fed up and get rid of all my stuff...

:P

I echo this. Too funny.

My assumption would be that one of my friends was playing a joke on me and I would just need to find out who the culprit was. And then the paybacks would begin.

Keep going.

I like getting the latest system that comes out. It's the video game junkie in me.

As far as cost goes, there are plenty of games I'd like to add to my collection that cost just as much and way more than a 360 game or a console. Some day I will own you "Peek a boo Poker", "Hot Slots", and "Bubble Bath Babes".

I'm not into collecting the whole library in the new systems as much, but I do buy specific titles that are fun, or challenging, or that all my friends are playing.It's going to take me some time to build up those old collections and not many of my local friends play the old stuff.So in the mean time, bring on the new stuff...as long as its good.

I've never seen anyone else who knew about zebraheadwaflerevolution

A fellow Zebrahead fan?

I've been there from the beginning.

They put on a pretty fun concert.

I pretty much listen to all kinds of music. It just depends on my mood. We have launchcast radio at work, which is through yahoo, and you can listen to any genre and mood that you'd like.

I tend to lean towards bands that combine genres.

My favorites are 311, Zebrahead, and Reel Big Fish.

Rayman 2 (DC) is a pretty decent find. It's also the only game there I'd ever considered purchasing besides Hunter (which I already own).

I could see someone buying F-Zero, Magic and Star Fox Adventures (*cough* zelda:OoT *cough*) too if you're into their respective genres (I can't say I am). But Wolverine's Revenge, PN 03, Generator, a console port of Railroad Tycoon?

Space Raiders made most critics "worst of" list. It is rare though, so if you were a diehard collector, who collected things based on rarity rather than quality or just really, really liked space invaders, I could see buying it. I wouldn't though.

Quality, not quantity.

My sega gen/CD for 12USD still has you beat. ;)

I don't have any time to play games either. Sometimes I feel stupid buying more games when I can't play the ones that I have, but then the collector comes out in me and I buy it anyway.

I really wish I had more time to play, I have some great games that I haven't spent any time with and I really want to get into those games.
