My goal is to play every game I want to play or just seems so weird I can't pass it up. (sneak king/deadly duck)
If I really like a title I will buy its re-releases to see what they changed and hopefully get to experience it again. I would love to own a retron 5 so my older games look good on my newer tv.
I consider myself an Atari fan so I would like to have all those systems. I still don't understand why no one (as far as i have seen, it may be out there) hasn't completely redesigned the 5200's controller to not break and work better. I would also like to see an "all in one" atari system.

Best Electronics supposedly has a fix for the 5200 controller. I don't much about it yet, so I don't know how well it works. It's on my list to pursue because I have three non-funcitoning 5200 controllers. If I find out more, I'll let you know. If you find anything, give me a heads up. ;D

Here's the website.

This sort of reminded me about the fact that I'm not going for a full set for any specific system. However, I would like to go for full sets of certain types of games. Such as a full Mario, Zelda, or Sonic set. I have much more interest in doing something like that. I'm not activly pursuing any of those right now, but I would never pass up on any of those types of games if I find them under market value.

hoverboots:
Yeah. Much smaller scale, but I have all the adventure time games as well lol... As mediocre as they may be.

But I will admit that there are a few games in my collection that I don't like to play much, but they do have some kind of sentimental value in one way or another & so I keep them.

This is pretty much the basis for my collection habits. I mostly collect Nintendo stuff because that's what I had growing up but I'm planning on expanding in to the Genesis once I finsh my Nintendo collection.

I'm trying to limit my collecting to games that I personally owned as a kid or games that my friends had but I never did. I have no aspirations of collecting a whole set of games (i.e. every N64 game) but I would like to have a nice collection of games for my entertainment room for both playing and displaying.

I only really started collecting games last year so I'm just shy of 100 games right now. I don't really see myself breaking the 250-ish mark across all of my systems, mostly because Mrs. Niner doesn't like my hobby but also because I don't want to exceed the number of games I could realistically play. I don't want games just to have them, you know?

I do occassionally end up buying games that I don't particularly want because they are included in a lot or the seller wouldn't separate out the games. I still box them up and put them on the shelf with everything else but they receive a lower priority in terms of when I box them.

Just getting games that I want which is about 500. I'm 3 games from being done and about 150 manuals from being complete also. Now I'm just getting picky about controller and wiring setups.
