Pikmin Overlord:
I too only collect games that I intend to play. However, since about the year 2000 or so, it's been much easier to find older games that I never knew about.
I kept virtually every game from my childhood, and was once content with that modest collection, but since I've began collecting many of the games that I never acquired when I was younger, my collection has easily quadrupled. I wouldn't say that it's been cheap, but if I consider how much I've spent on each game against how much it cost when it was originally released, it's really not so bad.

The one genre I really enjoy is the platformer, and there is no shortage of great ones on both the NES and SNES. So, I have a large backlog of excellent titles just sitting on my shelf until I can get around to playing them. The sad news is, I'm dying to own games like Little Samson and The Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak because I really want to play them, yet their rarity makes that extremely unlikely. Unfortunately, I won't be satisfied until I own all the great games that I want to play.

Honestly I collect games I grew up with in my childhood. I play most all of them when I have the time. My N64 collection is still growing since it's the console I grew up with the most as a kid. That doesn't mean I don't like consoles I didn't grow up with like the Atari or NES but I found a few good games on them that I enjoy. Modern games don't appeal to me at all so what's the point in buying them, I mean granted I do want a launch PS3 to extend the life of my few PS2 games, same with getting a 360 for my small Xbox collection, and the Wii for my Gamecube collection, although the cube is built tough as it is. Sure there are a few game for the modern systems I like but not enough to start a huge collection over. Will I ever get rid of my collection, absolutely not, I will pass it on to my kids so they can hopefully had the fun I had when playing them.

I wish you the very best :)

No Herzog Zwei, No Rocket Knight Adventures, No Shadowrun (SNES Shadowrun is a completely different game) , No Castlevania Bloodlines, etc. Plus there's the Genesis controller, specifically the official 6-button pad. I friggin' love that controller.

Don't about the Castle of Illusion games. They're often touted as "the best Disney licensed games outside of Kingdom Hearts".

It's funny. SNES is my first console ever, and probaly the most nostalgic for me, but I really don't think I can even get to 50 without scraping the bottom of the barrel.

It depends what you like I guess. The snes was my teenage years (had a nes, gb and c64 before that) and these were the games I enjoyed the most but i dont have many sports titles either. Just starting to buy some rpg's now :)

That and all the ports/remakes/compilations that have come out over the years.
