Well, I've been thinking. Since I've spent some time in the chat room here and looking around the site, I've decided I need to focus on one system to collect for. I really can't afford to collect for 3 or 4 systems, so I've made my choice: the Atari 2600.
The games (common ones, anyway) won't break my bank account, and since there's so many fans of the 2600 around here, I shouldn't have too much of a problem getting the games I need from the good folks at Atari Age. I probably will focus on "complete in box" games for now, with some loose thrown in so I don't have to manhandle the box to play a particular game.
As far as my PS2 and Gamecube? I will play what I got, but I haven't actually touched them for a few days. I keep coming back to my 2600 over and over again for games like Asteroids, Pac-man, Space Invaders, and Missle Command.
I probably WILL focus on collecting for my DSi over time, as money allows, but it's not a priority. Well, my 2600 isn't a priority, either, so I figure I have about 30 years more or less to get a good collection built up.![:D]()
As someone stated in the chat room, and I'm paraphrasing, "It's hard to collect or multiple systems, and better to focus on the one that gives you the most enjoyment"...admittedly, that is my Atari 2600.
