I wondered when someone would notice. :lol:

I have a Wii, N64, 2 GCs with GB players, NES, Microvision, GBA, Saturn, numerous computers, and a Genesis Plug n' play.

A non-TMSS genesis is on the list to get next when I find one locally. At some point a want to get a Dreamcast and import Puyo Puyo 4. I'll get a SNES when I find one cheap sometime and I'm in the mood to buy one.

I don't like sony. I got a psone game to try out psone emulation. I got GHII for the ps2 to rip the tracks for frets on fire.

I had an oxbox once for about 3 days. It didn't read disks right so I returned it. After reading and hearing about all the trouble xboxes of any kind have I've been avoiding them.

I did it to plan ahead, take care of the games before you get the console, it maybe a waste of money, but at least you have games to try if you want to test if the console works.

Went to a con last month and saw four beatiful Super Famicom games at a vendor table, $10 bucks each. I bought them, but have no Super Famicom. :/

Oh, and this probably doesn't count, but I had lotsa PS1 and Gamecube games before I had either system (used a PS2 and Wii to play them).

Ok, I've been wondering this ever since you joined, and I have to ask: Did you rip off my username? It looks similar enough that I have to wonder if it's a coincidence or not.

Haha, no I didn't rip you off. My username is just an amalgamation of three catch phrases my close friends and I use. It's also my YouTube name and was the name of my short-lived World of Warcraft orc.

I had a weird dream last night. I owned like 10 different DS games even though I don't own a DS. I have no recollection of whatever else happened in the dream. That was it.

Other than that, I've never actually bought any games for a console I didn't own.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Found TurboGrafx 16 games before I had the console. 10 bucks for Bonks adventure, ninja spirit, legendary axe and pac land all complete. Was too hard to pass up and they are the reason I bought the TG16 lol.
