What console's libraries are you an expert in?

Mine would have to be a toss up between the PSP, 3DO, Super NES and Intellivision.

SNES, without a doubt. I've played (and beaten) nearly every English language/translated game for the system, and a bunch of Japanese games that don't require language knowledge to play.

Same for the original Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, and soon to be Game Boy Advance.

I thought noise is converting to PS1 -PS2 -PS3 religon. Yes, Hell did freeze over :lol:

For me, not an expert at gameplay but I do have experience on systems at my signature link. For me its not the console itself, but finding the more obscure features of each system. PS2 HDAdvance, Gamecube SD Gecko or converting a PAL game to NTSC to benefit from exclusive features. The joy of discovering new undocumented hidden ways to play a game such as modding to get Twin Stick function, using a Mouse or a Trackball instead of a regular controller. Sharing the discovery for others to try also rewarding.

Lately also the mad frenzy of finding treasures, Video Game Finds.
My current favorite game: PAL Alien Hominid converted to NTSC. :D
I hope that I never be an expert, that is when you stop learning.

Not really any, maybe the PS1 more so than anything else only because it was my primary console growing up.
I'm always learning about the ones that interest me though, ask me in a couple of years ;)

The Gamecube is probably where I am the most familiar. Honorable mention for the SNES.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

The Korean Mega Drive library. I've got close to 80 releases now and am still collecting and searching. My knowledge is more about box art trends and changes and learning about the scene and Korean releases, but knowledge is scarce. I'd call myself an expert on it.

Have you played Lennus 2? I discovered Dynamic Designs last year but still haven't gotten around to much of their stuff, they seem to have a lot of completed and ongoing projects though and Lennus 2 for me stuck out a lot because of the art style... looks crazy:

Treasure of the Rudras is another game I've been meaning to really get to for years, lol.

Other than that, I'd also say I'm pretty comfortable with knowing most about the SNES. It's my biggest library next to the PS1, but man the PS1 library is just insane and there's still much for me to cover. So I probably wouldn't say I'm an expert there yet.
