I've been itching to GET a GBA SP recently so I can play some old school arcade games on the go.

Sega Saturn and Tempest 2000.

[Atari2008]

Channel F - crazy I know but I used to have one about two years ago, now I want one again especially so I can play Pac-Man and the Multi-Cart.

 

Also Odyssey2 - no connection to the system. Just felt bad that it was always panned so I want to give it a shot. That one I already own, now I want the homebrews.

I've been itching for atari 2600 games. Shopping around for cheap lots with a game or two I need.

 

I don't know why I bother. I never bother to actually play or even hook up the 2600, and am generally disappointed when I do.

I think it's the thrill of the chase. I definitely shop for games far more than I actually play. I like to think that one day I'll sit down and play all of them.

I've definitely got N64 fever. I've also got laseractive collecting fever, now that prices have gone up, sigh...

[Turbogfx]

In terms of shopping, it's most definitely NES. I just started my collection on that console, so I still need a lot of classics. So that's really fun.

 

In terms of playing, it's usually the Vectrex which draws my attention. :-)

Really depends on the week. This week it's Master System.

[The Usotsuki]

Might be the Apple ][+ here.

[Reaperman]

Yesterday while shopping for 2600 games that I'll never play, I fell off the Master System wagon, and bought a bunch of those that I'll never play either.

I've plugged my master system in a grand total of once in my life.

 

Good games though.

Genesis and Saturn.

 

Recently picked up Shining Force 2 and Akumajou Dracula X (japanese version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night).

Had the urge to play Ghostbusters on the Genesis. After about an hour I was reminded that I suck at Genesis games and nearly threw the cart across the room.

I love that version of the game. It's not a hard game in general, but Maria rolls over most of it like a tank.

It might just be my imagination, but I think the music is a little different/better too.

I do this too. Collect for consoles that I either don't play or rarely play. I'm trying to figure out why. What's your reason?

I didn't already have half of them, the price was right, and I must have some form of hoarding illness. I enjoy shopping and 'getting a good deal,' but all they're really doing is filling up space on my display shelves.

 

For the record I also have the sicknesses of 'buying things intending to keep them sealed,' 'buying individual games I already own in similar condition,' and 'buying games for systems I don't own.'

I have the sickness of 'buying things I'll play later on' but then I just keep on buying and rarely play.

 

Also, I like to buy things that are made in limited runs, like homebrews.

 

They're not filling up space if they're being displayed.

 

I try to avoid buying games for systems I don't already own, because then it gives me an excuse to buy the system, LOL.

[RedRaider]

I currently have the Tri-Fecta going on:

 

Colecovision

Vectrex

Intellivision

 

On the hunt for CIB systems and games.

[Punisher5.0]

M2, Neo Geo AES, and 64DD

I know all about buying things to play later. I am planning on having a gaming filled retirement one day.

The last time it was Atari, then Super NES/Super Famicom, back to Atari. I haven't even opened up my package from Atari2600.com yet

That's a good plan!

 

I feel accomplished today, actually played games for about 90 minutes.
