The last few retro system that are on my WTB list are the Vectrex, Jaguar, Neo Geo CD, and Master System. I'd LOVE to get a Vectrex, but that one is probably the least likely. I'll definitely get at least one of those 4 this year, but I'm unsure as to which one at the moment. Just have to wait and see which one pops up at the right time for me.

Probably none. But if I did u would get a Saturn + XRGB or a portable because my HDTV wont cause portables to look crappy the way it does with retro consoles. :D

Neo Geo AES, Atari ST, PC Engine and Amstrad GX4000, maybe Neo Geo CD. I'm starting to run out of space though so hopefully I wont have any room for more consoles/old computers after I've got those. I really want to stop purchasing game systems and start focusing on game collecting.

None. I have enough consoles to last me a few years.

Still would like to eventually get a 3DS XL however.

Twin Famicom.

Black and Green console.


This has been the one and only console I really REALLY want badly. They've been pretty scarce on ebay lately, and have poked around on yahoo japan auctions hoping to find one reasonable.

I don't know, I don't have a lot of retro consoles I'd like to purchase since I have so many.

I will mainly focus in on games this year. However, I'd like to re-buy a NES since my games are feeling unappreciated but that might happen or not this year.

Other than that, I'd like to get a TG16 but that won't happen this year.

Possibly a snes model 2, and if an Nintendo DS is considered "retro", that too.

Nothing really I pretty much have all the retro systems in my collection I'm looking for. The only exception is a Vectrex if I can find one cheap!! :lol:

Lots of good ideas on this thread. A mod chip for my Saturn may happen. A VGA hookup for my Dreamcast. But those are not new systems.

A Vectrex would be nice, but kind of unlikely.
I'm always looking for an Intellivision, though I've never seen one in my thrift and re-sale shopping trips. Only come across the occasional loose cart.

I'm most likely going to get another solid state pinball this year if I can save enough. Hoping to talk a friend into selling me his 1980 Stern Seawitch. Failing that, I'll see what I can get at the Texas Pinball Festival.
