I have almost completed the US released Sega Master System set.  Out of the 114 games released in the US I have 109.  Just missing Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion, Ghouls N Ghosts, Aerial Assult and Sonic the Hedgehog.

It's usually a few of the handheld entries in a series that I'm missing, for instance the GBA Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance is the only one I'm missing in the series. There are others, but they don't spring to mind, and that's the problem - it's easy to forget about a portable adaption of a home console game!

A buddy of mine is a filthy filthy reseller on ebay (but I don't mind because if he knows I'm looking for something, he'll keep his eyes peeled and usually pass it along at his cost or not much above) and he once calls me up "Hey... do you own a CDi?"

Turns out he bought The Zelda Adventure (the rarest of the 3) for comparatively peanuts and wanted to get some pics/vid of it running before he resold it.  Good god that game was terrible, even the 5 minutes of it we played.  But hey, live action cutscenes!!
Attempting a complete NTSC-U NES set.  Sell me your games!

I don't see how a live action Zelda with a poor angle, where you smack monsters with a wand, and the land is "Camelot", backwards, could be bad. Oh and btw, the last boss is from doom:
 
How could this not be the best game ever?  There's even time to scratch youself as each room loads, incase you get an itch ever 5 seconds.

I have all the games I want for NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, GB Color, GBA, DS, GameGear and PSP.

 Granted, what I wanted for those systems isn't an extremely difficult to get amount of games that are super rare.

 There are only a hand full of other games I want for my collection. I believe less than 20 for all systems.

I have had my NTSC NES set completed for some time now, with the exception of stadium events (I have the PAL version).  I started collecting for it 15 years ago so I managed to get most of the games at very reasonable prices.  Near the end the most I spent on one game was $200 for Flintstones Surprise at Dinosaur Park in mint condition.  I got the majority of them in bulk but had to buy the last few individually.  Now I am just trying to case all of them with the covers here.  I only have about 100 cased of the 677 so I will be here for a while yet.

I’m only 643 games short of a full NES collection   ;) ..........(Not counting unlicensed games)
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I am a fairly hardcore Zelda fan, and have actually taken the time to not only amass the CD-i games, but to beat them as well.  Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil are rough, but pretty easy when you get the hang of them.  What kills me about Zelda's Adventure is the hit detection.  She swings outward with her *left* hand I think, so you have to make sure enemies are in the swing pattern.  Sure, this is the case with any top-down Zelda game, but in Zelda's Adventure I swear the hit detection is just excruciating.  It arcs away from you, and barely hits right in front, so you need to angle yourself so enemies are at like a 45 degree angle.  The problem?  THERE ARE NO 45 DEGREE ANGLES!  You can only move on an up/down/left/right grid.  No full 3d motion.  That said, I am a total masochist and played it to the end.  And as such, I am one of the few people who can actually give it a fair, balanced and complete review.  It sucks.

I've got 2/3 of the USA nes set. 

I doubt I'll finish it though as the majority of the games I need aren't very good and are in the $20-$100 range.

I'd rather spend the $ on good games for other systems that I will actually play.

I'm done collecting every game of the Shaq Fu series. The task was tedious and expensive. Now, I can live my life with peace and dignity because I own the greatest video game series on this earth.

That was awesome. 

And here, all these years I was listening to the opinions of people who really didn't know what they were talking about.

I could tell it sucked just by playing it at Radio Shack (When it was next door to Musicland, on the other end of the mall from the Pocket Change arcade.  Good ole days).

It looks like she's smacking everything with a wet noodle. And plays like you're controlling it with said wet noodle. And nobody likes playing with their noodle.
