What console's libraries are you an expert in?

Anything that is gaming related that doesn't fit well anywhere else

I'm not quite ready to call myself an "expert," but I do know a whole damn lot about Sega Genesis, the Genesis library, revisions to Genesis hardware, add-ons for Genesis (including Power Base Converter, Sega CD, 32X) and especially Beat 'em up games for Genesis.

I can't call myself an expert because there are a lot of shoot 'em ups for Genesis that don't know. Honestly, I think there are too damn many similar shoot 'em up games on that platform. There are more shoot 'em ups on Genesis (which all look the same to me) than there are platformers starring cute mammals.

I'm also pretty knowledgeable about NES library and accessories and Arcade games.

I know quite a bit about all of Sega's hardware and software, particularily the Saturn. However, I'm only really an "expert" with Sony's stuff. Especially the PS1 and PS3. I love my PSP too, but, I'd be lying if I said I knew a ton about it.

I know very little about Nintendo's stuff because, well, I just could never really get into it, though I've owned just about every console they've made besides the Virtual Boy.

I wouldn't call myself an "expert", but I do know a lot about JPN Saturn.

The console I own the most games for is the cube (39 games- just counted). I have played a good portion of the N64 library, but only own about 8 games for it. I want to learn more about the GB/C/A library, as well as the dreamcast. Maybe develop expertise in some obscure console like the Vectrex to boost my retro cred.

Can't say I'm an expert on any one area in particular. I'm more an across the board collector. I know a lot about the history of gaming in general.

But I probably had the most experience with NES. Over the years I owned a crapload of NES games. (and when I went to the Air Force, my brother sold my huge collection, my current collection on NES games pales in comparison). I owned A LOT. Like I owned every Mega Man, every Castlevania, every Mario game, every Lolo, every Adventure Island, every Ninja Gaiden, and so on as well as plenty of random titles. I definetly know more about NES than the average gamer, but I'm afraid to say I'm an expert in the presence of some of the collector's here.

Currently I have the most games for my PS2, but I wouldn't say I'm an expert on it's library at all.

I have 427 caught in my Diamond version. Though I know way more than I need to about all of them.

My only issue is trying to learn all these new ones now. It's coming along well though. :)
