There are all types of collecting in this hobby and none of them are bad or wrong, but personally I have never seen the appeal of going for a full set for any game console due to the large amount of crap, shovelware, old sports games that every console has. The closest I have to a complete set is my Dreamcast collection which is currently about 2/3 of the overall US library. I'm not going to lie, there have been a few times where I though, "I'm so close, I might as well just get all the rest of the games. Besides, I have nearly all the really expensive and rare stuff already." But as soon as I find NBA2K for a buck or some other mediocre Disney title, I can never bring myself to purchase it.The thought of a bunch of garbage junking up my collection and sitting nexr to a game like Shenmue or Power Stone just doesn't sit right with me. This is true of every console I've ever collection for. I like to make sure my collection is all about quality at the end of the day, not that I have every game, the good and the bad, for a given console. --- End quote --- what about neo geo pocket small amount of games, pretty much no trash at all to be fair. |

Than again not as fun as console games to be fair and ofcourse the price for neo geo pocket games thanks to the bad past sales wich make them supply pretty limited. Some of the better games complete go for quite allot, The games are fun but with the same amount of money you can get allot of the great desirable high end titles on other old systems wich in my opinion are allot better but that is expected. It's a system to collect for if you have to much money to spend. |

I was excited when I got the NGPC but I did not like playing the games. The lack of a back-lit screen was it for me, ruined by having such things on Game Gear and GBA for years. So I may joke that NGP sucks or is trash myself, but it is just I ended up not liking the experience of the system. I am sure that scenario plays out for many people who get exited about the hype of a game or system, then go to try it out and are underwhelmed or don't like it. |
