As it is already Christmas (just after midnight US East Coast) as I write this ... and I am still working on my annual report, I don't have a lot of time.
But I can safely say I am a collector. Why else would I have an APF M-1000 or an RCA Studio II or an Aquarius Computer.
Overall, I estimate I have 2000+ games and 30+ systems.

I am Mario. I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
Same here mostly a collector, NES specifically.
I have over 300 carts for the NES. Some highlights
All three Ultima's Complete in Box (CIB)
Final Fantasy CIB
2 NES action Sets with different Boxes (CIB)
1 NES Toploader
1 NES Control Deck Test Cart
1 Supervision 110 in One Cart (Pirate)
Bubble Bobble 2
Chiller (2 player zapper title can use 2 zappers)
NES 4 score CIB
All 6 Megaman titles
Dragon Warrior 1,2 & 4
L'emperereur CIB
All 3 Ninja Gaidens
All 3 Castlevainias
All 3 Mario Bros (technically 4)
Those are less than a quarter of the games that are worth more than 20 bucks.
All told my collection would probably sell for 3k-5k on ebay easily.
EDIT: To answert the OP: Yes I consistantly buy games just to collect them. Even more recently I have become extremely anal about the games I buy this gen. I stopped buying used because they tend to be missing things (manuals cases) or have stickers attached to the paper inserts which are too much of a pain to remove.. I always keep the box to the system or game (I made my brother keep his Rockband box in my closet rather than toss it.) I try not to trade or resell unless the game absolutely sucks and I could buy it later at a rediculous bargin.
I have 1,005 video games and have probably played 40% of them
Yes.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia. Thanks WordsofWisdom!
I own every single video game system in the world, and I only have over 100 games. How do you explain that?
I bought FF VII brand new for $100 recently just because it's so rare, not so much to play.
Very little of my game collection is there for collection sake, and most of the titles which fall into that category I'm seriously considering selling. Only a collector would be interested in some of these games...
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
While I buy all my games to play, as I have only a tiny amount of money, I have to sell them afterwards, but many do remain in my collection, and sometimes I buy I game rather than rent it so I can have a collection
I have purchased a lot of older games just for nostalgia/collecting. Unfortanutely most of them arent worth a whole lot. Whenever i see old game that i sunk a lot of time into when i was a kid a always grab them for fun.
Stuff like:
Totally Rad (NES)
Ironsword (NES)
Hydlide (NES)
Sonic CD (Sega CD)
Ducktales (Gameboy)
Phantasy Star III (Genesis)
Nothing really to write home about but stuff i remember loving as a child regardless of how awful i think it is now.
