I go back and forth constantly about whether to do a complete US Dreamcast set. It's my favorite console of all time and I constantly find myself drawn to nearly everything about it. It's just hard for me to spend my money on crappy titles or titles I have no interest in, even if they are on the Dreamcast.


But no, I have no complete sets at the moment.

I love the PS2, but there's no way I would complete a collection. I'm only a collector insofar as I take pride in owning nice copies of many different games that I deem worth owning (and a few I've come into owning through other free means). Honestly, I don't think I'd even want to own all the PS2 games. There are just so many undesirable titles. Plus, having only a small part-time job makes it hard to take collecting very seriously, so I just buy things I like and really want to own, and then stroke it a little by adding them into various collection websites ;D

Sometimes I even think 332 titles is overboard, but I just ordered a couple more from Japan last night...

I don't really aim for a complete collection for any system, as I don't want all the crap titles that accompany each consoles library. That being said, I go for a complete collection in regards to every game I want on said system. The system I'm currently doing that for is the Gamecube, it's my favorite.

Nope. That's too lofty and expensive of a goal. I just buy games that I want to play or were favorites from childhood.

I don't have any complete collections for one system and don't think I would ever want to.  As others have already stated, there are a lot of crap games regardless of which system it is.  I will pick up crap games, but only if they are dirt cheap or free.  Hence why I got Kabuki Warriors for Xbox yesterday.   :P

As for particular franchises, then yes I do go for complete collections.  Final Fantasy, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Ratchet & Clank....there are tons of great gaming series that I try to get every game for it regardless of the system it was released on. 

I also collect games from certain developers.  Naughty Dog is a good example.  Just missing Way of the Warrior for 3DO by them.

My NES set isnt too bad either. I think Im at 725 licensed/unlicensed games.

Other than that, I have a pretty extensive DQ collection and a few minor sets complete (GC Zelda, PS1 RPG, Sealed Freak controller series, Imagic label series for 2600, etc).

Depending on what the definition of "complete" is...

I have a full set of US releases for the SMS (cart & case, still missing a few manuals), full set cart-only US release for the Virtual Boy, what I consider to be a full set of cart-only Vectrex US releases (I consider Minestorm II and Mr. Boston to be variations and am missing a few overlays), and am one game away from a full set cart-only US release for the 7800.

aiming... pretty much every system :P

I am close to having a complete NES and DC collection (both only 2 for a complete) not counting the holy grail games on NES.
My PS1 collection is only missing 37 games for a complete.
Only missing 49 games for a complete N64 collection.

The only systems I have complete is Virtual Boy, Tomy Tutor & Microvision at the moment.
"Happy game hunting!!!"

Wow this is a tough one for me. I love games and I am pretty sure I will never really complete any of my collections. However, right now I am really thinking about aiming for a complete Sega CD collection.
