System launch titles are one thing I've always found interesting though (Dave has too, see: his blog). Whether the games are good or bad, it's always interesting to look at this X amount of games and remind yourself the gaming landscape at the moment in history when a new console arrived.
Oh I don't disagree, I find launch titles quite interesting. It's the type of thing I would try to collect if I had more disposable income I guess. For now the best I can do is buy games I really really like, and not much else.

And whenever someone mentions "Dave" I think you guys are talking about me for a second. I read your post and was like WAIT I DONT HAVE A BLOG!!!!!!1

I already have Pinball for the CD-i with no intent of ever buying the system.
Is there a CD-I emulator that will read CD-I discs? Worth a try.

Not a good one, I've already looked. Maybe someday someone will give me one or a good emulator will be created.

I voted for Pinball as well. I'd like to read how your Pinball hunt goes just to learn for myself. I've recently gotten into console Pinball games myself, and have barely scratched the surface.

I voted N64 just because it's the one I'd be more likely to go for myself. Is that a good enough reason? haha

The pinball one sounds the most interesting, but damn, the Playstation one is the most ambitious sounding

I find genre better reason to choose collecting goal, so I say pinball as well. Would be more interesting both gaming and collecting wise. The rest are mainly just collecting and making shelf look nice, and all pretty much equally good choices. In that case I would choose Playstation launch titles as that has some historical value to it.

Seems kinda boring to me, honestly. I mean unless you just really enjoy pinball, testing a huge load of pinball games would get old after a while.
