2 Saturns (one is not modded)
2 SNES (one is broken, trying to fix it)
2 PSX (my friend gave me an extra when I helped him move.. it has the I/O port in the back in case my current one with a goldfinger craps out at anypoint)

I just got rid of my 2nd Snes.

And I have a model 1 & a model 2 genesis. I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of all my duplicates; games and systems. Space is now a premium.

I have five gamecubes with five gameboy players, three NESs, a couple of PS1s and more than a dozen Sega Genesi.

While building my Saturn collection, I bought "lots" most of the time. That combined with my once-upon-a-time desire to own every style of Saturn console means I have 25+ Saturns lying about. I've sold a few here and there.

Most of the systems I own I at least have doubles of excluding current gen systems.

The main reason why is with these older systems, you never know how much longer they're going to last. When you don't need one is the perfect time to look for one. You can hold out for a great deal and pass on the so-so deals. You don't have that urge to buy the next one that's available since you're just looking for a nice backup.

Used to have two DS's (old model and Lite), but now I just have two Saturn's. One is modded to play Japanese imports, and another can do CD-R's and everything.

There are no PS1s, but this was a loose stack of stuff I did last summer.

3 Dreamcasts. Well, only 2 are working. When my DC finally died, I bought a couple just in case. And I've kept the broken one for spare parts or whatever.

Ideally, I would actually like to buy a 'spare' console for each one I own. Just in case they ever break.

Is that a model 1 Genesis and Sega CD? Haha, can't say I've seen many of those around...
