I get this sometimes too, on occasion. I also get that weird, almost-burgy guilt when I'm coming to the end of a game, and I'm already thinking of the oceans of other games I can play afterwards, like I'm shorting myself of the experience of a full game.

Now, if only that was life's most pressing concern, it'd be a richer thing.

My wife watched me play Flicky last night and said "It looks like a baby's bedroom."

Thanks to the extension cable I had to buy for my Turbografx, it's gone from having controllers with uncomfortably short cables to being the only system I can easily play from my computer desk.

I really should look into getting extension cables for all of my consoles.

First system I've ever owned that I felt I absolutely needed extension cables for.

For some reason, I really, really want a Famicom Disk System now. If I ever go to Japan, I'll be sure to pick one up.

I've considered getting one before, but the problem with the FDS is that both the consoles and disks are unreliable. The systems have certain faulty parts (the drive belt) and the disks have a nasty tendency to get dirty or even demagnetize. I haven't ruled it out completely, but it just sounds like a hassle.

today I put in my list my 200th playstation one game.

It was: Cubix robots for everyone race n robots.

Granted I've bought lots more that that amount. I have lots of doubles and disc only copies. But its the 200th on my list.

I Still have about 40 or so games without the boxes, but I have all the time in the world to get them later.
