SMS, Genesis/Mega Drive, Saturn, or Dreamcast

Awesome collection!

I should do a recount of what I have, too.

Thanks, I'm pretty proud of it but some of you here put my collection to shame with the sheer volume of titles you have. But then I try to not use eBay most of the time. I really enjoy the crate digging aspect of the hobby but it's just getting harder and harder to find titles for my retro systems, especially my SEGA systems. I go to used game stores and all the SNES games are like ordered in a glass case but all the Genesis games are unceremoniously piled in a bin. Also, I'll be lucky to see maybe five titles each for Master System, SEGA CD, Saturn or even Dreamcast and even if any of them are any good at all, I probably already own them.

The order which I got my SEGA systems is...
Genesis
SEGA CD
Nomad
32X
Dreamcast
Saturn
Master System
Game Gear

The order which I got all my systems is...
Atari 2600
Game Boy
Turbografx-16
Genesis
SEGA CD
Nomad
N64
32X
Dreamcast
Saturn
Game Boy Advance
Master System
Game Gear
DS
PS2
Wii
PSP

I no longer have my 2600 and I haven't done a count in many months but it should be about 290 games across all platforms at this point (not including PC). I try to keep a pretty distilled collection of the best of the best for each system because I also have a pretty extensive collection of DVDs, records, as well as books and space is limited. However, none of my collections for any system is yet complete and there are still systems which I'd like to start new collections for.

Hey, I like that. Listing as it was purchased. Here's how it works for me:

NES
Game Gear
SNES
Genesis
TurboGrafx-16
Saturn
PlayStation
Nintendo 64
Dreamcast
PlayStation 2
GameCube
Xbox
Master System
Sega CD
Sega 32X
Wii

So, if I get one, should I get an FZ-1 or FZ-10? And where is a good place to get those games...?

They are both just as good. The CD-tray has never failed on my FZ-1 in the 16 years of use mine has had. But the FZ-10 does have a built in memory manager. But those are easy to come by on discs. It's more about looks than anything. But don't bother with the Goldstar, crappy CD trays, compatibility issues with a few games and hate CD-Rs.

niiice list. I've been considering getting an NES or a SNES lately but what I REALLY want is a Turbografx-CD. Sure there are probably less than ten games I want for it and most of those are shmups, which as gorgeous as they are I can rarely get past the first few levels so I'll never see it lol. But none the less, that would be nerd-tastic to own.

[Warp2063]

Well, I ordered myself an FZ-1 and an FZ-10. The FZ-10 claimed that it only has an RF adapter and that the controllers have frayed wires (although the unit itself was in good condition), so I decided to grab an FZ-1 as well with a proper composite RCA cable and good controller. (Note: I didn't realize that the systems didn't have specialized video-out ports like most game systems nowadays when I ordered the second 3DO.)

FINALLY got around to listing my systems. Maybe I'll get around to taking pics at some point. Now I need some good 3DO games. The included football games don't do much for me, nor does Family Feud, and I don't feel like building a Theme Park. I played that game on my grandfather's Mac years ago, anyway.

Note: I didn't realize that the systems didn't have specialized video-out ports like most game systems nowadays when I ordered the second 3DO.

Yeah, RF, RCA and S-Video jacks. Plus some games are in Dolby ProLogic for your listening pleasure.

One of the two controllers that came with the FZ-10 had an earphone port on it. I want a game that takes advantage of the audio capabilities of the system.

I need suggestions!

I think it would hurt my brain to figure out the order of purchases since I buy and resell alot of systems too. Hmm

I had to think about it for a good long time. I started writing that post a day before I finished and posted it, and made a paper list in my free moments throughout the day. I also spent time researching when certain things came out on Wikipedia; I tend to remember when I got things in relation to other events, rather than actual dates. You don't have to put your list in order if you don't want to.

Off the top of my head FIFA International Soccer had ProLogic surround sound, Total Eclipse was a game with great music.
