What Do/Don't you collect and why?
madrocsz:
Just curious, should be an interesting topic
Personally -
Collect:
All Nintendo consoles and handhelds
(NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy/Color, GBA, DS, 3Ds)
Most sega consoles
(Genesis, CD,32x, Saturn, Dreamcast)
All sony systems
(PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita)
Microsoft Systems
(xbox, 360)
Also a sucker for reproduction carts for these systems
DONT Collect
Atari - My first system, but to me true console gaming didnt happen till NES, aside the graphics I just find the games completely archaic and down right suck. Ugly everything about this system
Intellivision/Colecovision/Vetrex/Odyssey/every other 70's and early 80's console - didnt own them, similar dislikes as an atari
CDI - Lol self explanitory, also crazy expensive
Jaguar - Kind of hit or miss on this one, can't talk myself into it
Sega Master System - never owned one, I find boxes horrible looking ( collector side of me) and simply due to inexperience with the console
Virtua Boy - I got one of these for christmas and it made me motion sick playing it when I was a kid, hated it since lol
Imports - Just not my thing
Considering Collecting -
TG16 - only my friends had them back in the day, so don't know much about them other than the games are a tad pricey
Game Gear - been putting it off because I have one, with like 20 games, I just have to find it
Any suggestions?
Moviefan2k4:
I don't really "collect" anything, in terms of having it just for its own sake. That said, I do have an autograph book, and a little over 100 films on the Blu-Ray format. As far as gaming systems go, I have a Super NES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii, all refurbished. Most of my games are for the Super NES and NES; just looking for a refurbished original at this point.
CommunistGamer:
Same here.
If i own anything to to play not to collect.
So I will pick up anything that seems fun, and get the system for it later.
Mick Dundee:
Do Collect
Just about any RPG (strategic, turn based, action) for almost any system.
Why: I prefer a fun story and the ability to level above your enemy to pound them to the ground with ease and they seem to keep/gain value
We have a lot of movies (DVD+Blu-Ray) but i don't see them as a collection
Why: My wife and I really enjoy movies
LOTS of dust
Why: I don't dust often
DOES NOT COLLECT
most Shooters, Racing, Sports, Educational, Sim
Why: See WHY for DO collect RPG....and reverse it
ATARI, Coleco vision...anything BEFORE NES.
Why: Being born in 1983, having a low income household, and 2 YOUNGER siblings made game systems scarce in the home for a while.We had an SNES, TG-16 and Sega Genesis all at different times mostly due to my parents buying beyond their means. As time went on we got a Saturn, PS1, N64 and then from there I was on my own.
Virtual Boy
Why: Never interested me
Jaguar
Why: See above answer
Game Gear
Why: I dont think there are any games I would even play for it.
Unemployment
Why: I have a job at a warehouse that distributes puzzles that come from Germany (Mostly)
Many Many MANY of my games I have never played. According to my Backloggery I have about 900 games with only around 10% beaten and about 700+ un-played
I see it as a real fun, good looking investment....and I like to spend my money WAY more than save it.
N64 Guy:
I collect for fun n64 almost done
Snes,nes,gamecube, xbox,360,wii,ps3
