START: A long time ago I was part of another forum that died because reasons, and I used to have a lot of friends there or people that I liked to talk, I am a believer that joined this forum was another chance for meet more cool people, so like always I like to ask this question. Whats is your most important goal or priority collecting videogames? After all I guess we all have an objective that we want to accomplish before passing away. My only real objective right now is collect most Konami games and thats pretty much the only stuff I am buying right now, I have 115 Konami games and I want to have most, the reason is because I have an emotional connection with the company, they inspired me and helped me when I had depression and a lot of stuff more that I will save myself right now. After that I guess collect most Sonic games and other favorite games that I wanted.... So whats your goal for collecting? whats your objective? The item that you need because you truly want it, I know that maybe talking we will get to meet better each other Thank you for reading my post I have always liked to play everything with a positive mind and being kind with people that is kind with me. |

For the most part, I'd say, I'm collecting games that I have fond memories of. For instance, retro-wise, I still collect for my Sega Game Gear. On my list are essentially games that I've played or are linked to TV shows or movies I loved as a kid.... Micro Machines, Donald Duck Lucky Dime Caper, and Indiana Jones. The rest will be played via an Everdrive cartridge. I don't anticipate ever having a full collection of games for any single system. I also don't anticipate having more than around 50-ish games per single system.... amend that to 50-ish physical games for modern systems. I've even found that often I prefer doing projects (crafting) based on retro games or games I loved just as much as playing the actual game. Case in point, I've been creating shadowboxes for my favorite games of all time; making a wall of fame so to speak. I've done one for the original Ninja Turtles game for NES and I'm finishing up one for Jurassic Park on Genesis. Next after that will be Uncharted. It's a time killer, but I have great fun designing and building them. |

To collect whatever I can for the more common retro consoles, since I rarely buy games from online stores, I shop locally unless I'm desperate to have a certain game. I now am close to being satisfied with what I got already. and now I still buy things locally to support a local game and electronics store, with buying games that don't have high cost the ones I don't have a proper working copy of, also games that look interesting, I for example buy everything golf wise that don't cost to much. Unfortunately my health is not the greatest and I find it vary difficult to play my games. Due to a constant airborne allergies and migraine headaches on top of other things that make it hard for me to play my games. |

It's been only around 5 years I've started VG collecting. At first my goal was to get most games and consoles I had when I was a child, then get the ones I always wanted or that I discovered and loved via emulation. I don't collect any game I don't intend to play. My priority is arcade games, shmups, run 'n guns. I absolutely love the Switch for that, and always keep an eye on the many limited-time release publishers out there, which are my absolute priority; I would hate to pay scalper's prices if I ever miss the release of a game I'm interested in (not that it didn't happened already). I know I'll have time to get the more popular titles at some point later. |

I want to build my own Gaming Museum on my property. A place where friends, family, and fellow gamers can hang out with their kids and not just see, but play all the games. I want it to be a sanctuary of sorts, a temporary escape for people who are troubled by things going on in their life. A drug den for gamers, kinda. I imagine a very large room, bean bag chairs, Many TVs both modern and CRT, and shelves, so many shelves full of video games for every system. Think, like a library only with a more relaxed feel. I obviously haven't worked all the kinks out in my big plan yet, but I still haven't got nearly enough games to fill even three shelves. So that comes first. I try to learn everything I can about each game/console/memorabilia I get my hands on. Date of release, behind the scenes info (The old Phalanx man was Bertil Valley, born Jan 01 1913, died April 09 2004, and aside from being the Banjo Guy, he owned a construction company, and he was a also a volunteer Santa Claus for 25 years.) I guess I do want to "own" everything. But I don't want to collect just for myself, that'd be boring. I want others to enjoy it too. I want to make people happy. And video games are my passion, so why not share it? |
