Collecting

[Darkhill]

Any other vidjagame collectors out there? I'd love to talk collections, mainly rare games/consoles. What do you have in your collection? What is your pride and joy?

I'll start-

So far I have: 360, PS3, Wii, PS2 (all obvious), Gamecube, Xbox, N64, SNES, NES, Sega Master System II, Mega Drive (Genesis) II, 32X and my favourite piece, my Mega (Sega) CD II.

Of games, I'm probably most proud of the copy of Sonic CD I picked up with the Mega CD.

I currently have a 360 and a PC.

I used to have at varying points: NES, Sega Mega Drive, Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox.
As well as varying gameboys I can't recall the names of.

I'm not into collecting. Except book series. I hate not having all of a series.

 

[hypothetical fact]

My limited collectors edition of halo 2. The shop keeper said it would be worth more in future and I refuse to believe that I got ripped off.

Machines R us, you reminded me I forgot to list handhelds. DS standard, GBA and GBColor.

I'm never too sold on "collectors" editions, seeing as they're always the first editions brought out on anything that sells well enough. But I'm sure your copy will become more valuable by as little as 100 years from now, so that's to look forward to.

Right now, I'm chasing down Sega's often ambitious hardware. Their hardware program during the First Console War always reminds me of Nazi Germany's aerospace program during the dying years of the war. Before its time, advanced and interesting, but ultimately loony and doomed to fail. I'm hunting down a Dreamcast now, I always wanted one, and come on, they had the vision to make those VMU things.
