Title: If you could have a complete collection for one system which one would you pick?
Post by: jcalder8 on April 28, 2012, 08:27:44 am

My first choice would be the Intellivision. It was the first system that I ever played so it has always held a special place for me because of this. Also there aren't that many games for the system so it would be fairly easy to get them all and there aren't many expensive ones either.

My second choice would be the Xbox 360 just because I enjoy playing the system and I already have over 400 games.

Sega Saturn, hands down. My goal is a complete CIB collection for the Saturn and I already have 70+ games out of the ~300 that were released. It was one of my most played consoles ever, with NiGHTS, Virtua Cop, Daytona USA and The Lost World: Jurassic Park all getting loads of play time. I eventually even got to the point where I could beat Virtua Cop using only the normal controller, since I never owned the Stunner.

NES - simply the most iconic video game system of all time. 768 total games would be amazing to show off.

Plus all the peripherals and nintendo power magazines and everything else. Could be a seriously amazing collection to view.

I'm going for 3 different complete sets: Sega Saturn, Sega CD, and NES. I've got 90 of the 255 Saturn games, 46 of the 147 Sega CD games, and 260 NES games, but I've always planned on that set taking me tens of years to complete, so I don't rush myself in that set. The Sega sets I plan on finishing within the next few years. I could have tons more, but I always hold out for nice copies, with limited to no case cracks, and of course they have to be complete, unless it's just a smoking deal like $1 or something for a good game.

I'll tell you what though, this site has been infinitely helpful in tracking my collection on the go, it's kept me from buying doubles on a number of occasions. Three cheers for vgcollect!

I would probably go for SNES. The SNES was really a big factor in the upcoming of jRPGs

If I was going for jRPG, Id pick the PS1. You can get FF 1-9 (minus 3 of course), Breath of Fire 3/4, Both Lunar games, the full arc the lad series, Xenogears, Tales of Destiny 1/2, both Chrono games, Dragon warrior 7, etc ... I could go on and on. Its seriously the single best rpg system ever imo. And the fact that you can play the games on ps 1/2/3 is even better!

I'd go with SNES. Hands down.

HAHAHA I love that you like the classics.

I would have to go with Atari 2600, I would love to have a complete collection for that system.

SNES, but only just barely over the Genesis.  Aside from Sonic games I mostly ignored my Genesis in it's day.  Now I'm discovering alot of great games, and I realize I underestimated the system far too much.

Saturn for me as well, money-wise I'm pretty close to completing the NTSC set.  I've got quite a few PAL and about 40 of the more fun JP games so far.  Still need to update the collection on here.

Nintendo 64. Seems easier to complete ;)

I think it would be really cool to have a complete Atari 2600 collection with every single label variation!

On one hand, the SNES has many of my favorite games and a lot iconic starts, so I'm tempted to say that.

On the other, I'd say I've spent more time with my DS than any other system, so I'm tempted to say that.

I think this is why I generally collect series instead of systems. (All Zelda games, almost all Harvest Moon games, working on a Megami Tensei set, etc.)

SuperGrafx.  All 5 of em' :D

Easily NES.  Right now I'm at nearly 40% of the NES catalog and hope to hit 50% by the end of the year.  It's been slow going since until I recently conceded, as I was only collecting boxes/CIB NES games and passed on plenty of loose carts.  My wife called me a "box snob".

Recently, I've become interested in collecting Sega Genesis.  I never owned one and I assumed that SNES would be my second favorite system to collect for, but Genesis has been pretty fun to collect.

Without a doubt, the Nintendo Entertainment System. 
There is no system that defined a era in time like the NES.  It would really be amazing to have shelves filled with cart after cart.  There are so many good games, and games with so much history.

Either the Dreamcast or the Genesis. The Saturn, NES and SNES come close beind.

I would say the TurboGrafx

NES, TG16 and SMS for me.

I'm not too far off on two of them I guess.
