A friend of mine in NYC has a fantastic collection of games, mostly focused on Japanese platformers and RPGs, and Kimimi here on VGC has an absolutely staggering assortment of Chinese and Japanese games, along with an ever-growing lot of arcade boards. I'm certainly not starstruck (sorry, Kimimi ^.^), but it's inspiring to see people like them who act almost like curators, carefully choosing what goes and doesn't go into their collections, while people who fill theirs with random crap seem more like compulsive hoarders. Quality over quantity wins out every time. --- End quote --- I Don't think you have to worry about Kimimi reading a post of yours here...haven't seen her (around here) in ages :( |

Aw, too bad. She posts a few times a day on Twitter, but I think she's just been focused on her blog and hanging out with her kiddo lately :) |

We can't all own a Magnavox Odyssey and Neo Geo AES. (And this is also why I don't have all my games complete in original boxes, I buy them to play them) |

If you love video games, and are buying video games, doesn't it make more sense top buy games that actually interest you, instead of like, 30 Pong clones that will just sit on a shelf and collect dust because they're rare and serve almost no purpose beyond historical curiousity? You mentioned the Magnavox Odyssey... how many people who own one these days ever actually play the thing, or have a real fondness for even a single game released for it? |
