Hah, indeed. The reason I thought to make this topic was that I was pondering over justifications for CDi and LaserActive and thought to myself, "Are there any?" It became odd that I was desperately seeking out even glimpses of a gem within the library of a system just to justify a purchase that I truly don't need.the7k wrote:It's going to take me getting VERY hammered to justify having a CD-i taking up room in my place, however.
Of course, the second motivation for the topic was to see if I could be pointed towards any gems for systems I was unaware of... I could probably justify a few more consoles if I enjoyed fighting games more, but despite owning a plethora of them across Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS2, I just can't get into them. That ousts Neo Geo Pocket. And truthfully older portables have never been my thing. Ly nx is getting a homebrew shooter that might justify it, though, and Judgement Silversword might be the killer app for Wonderswan.
The other glaring omission in my library of consoles and games is pre-'83 consoles. I have a Atari 2600 which is more or less a dedicated Warlords machine, a ColecoVision almost solely dedicated to Slither, and a Vectrex with a multicart and Vectrexians (the only game I have an overlay for, sadly). It's hard to justify something like a C64 or MSX when I haven't even rounded out my 2600 or ColecoVision. As an aside, ColecoVision is getting a homebrew expansion module which will add memory and save capabilities, and with it will come some upgraded MSX ports.
