  • ...and that's the bottom line
I kind of picture it as a TV show, where the collection gets broken up and my undead spirit teams up with Whoopi Goldberg to travel the world attempting to reunite the collection.

...solving crimes and helping restless spirits and their loved ones along the way :)

lol, that show sounds fantastic.


I'm glad I'm not the only who's thought about this kind of stuff.

I've thought about donating to something like child's play or a kids organization or something like that.

I guess it just saddens me that no one will ever have the same passion for the Donkey Kong Country SNES series that I do.  Everyone has their own reasons to love gaming.

I've thought about giving it to other gaming friends, but still eventually it will end up in the hands of someone who doesn't care as much as we do.  Who knows maybe we can all start a museum or something, I'm sure between all of us we have nearly every game out there.  I'm no where near some of the more hardcore people, but I think i have something like 300 games at the moment.

Honestly, thanks to download services and emulation, you can guarantee that whoever gets their hands on your collection will probably appreciate it. In this day, you likely don't even WANT cartridges for example unless you're a collector of some kind.

I talked about this to my girlfriend a lot of times. Never in a serious way though.

I think after im dead I won't care anymore what happens to my collection because I'm well DEAD!

Probably to my future kids. Games are meant to be played after all. I just like making them look nice as well.

This is funny, since I was just talking to a coworker about this earlier today.  My wife would have first dibs on everything of course, but since she's more of an SNES and PS1 RPG person, she probably wouldn't want the bulk of my collection, which is Sega stuff. 

I'd have all my Sega consoles and games that she wouldn't want go to a close friend of mine who's a old school gamer.  Heh, he'd finally be able to play all those Sega CD adventure games he's always eyed.
