Personally I'd prioritize NES and SNES over the other systems you mentioned. Sega CD is nice but the library is small and has a lot of duds, plus a lot of the really high quality games in its library are really expensive.
Yeah, but I have to not use craigslist, ebay or amazon. My finds are in the wild only. (I count brick n mortar stores as wild too, what they have ranges wildly.)
I also want a Game & WAtch.

When I got my first N64 it was in the wild and it was broken I couldn't return it either. The 2nd one I bought on Amazon and it WORKED. but was missing things. I frankenstiened the two together to form what I have now.

CDX is hella expensive. And Sega CD is more expensive than NES, SNES and 2600, around the same as a Jaguar.

My advice would be that you forget about Virtual Boy. The idea is intriguing but the chances are that you'll hardly play it. I've played mine for about 1 hour or so, it's hard to find a good position for playing it and it makes your eyes really sore. Not sure if other people here have the same problem but a plastic part on front of the system presses against my nose while I play it unless I'm in perfect position (and when I'm in that position, my neck cramps). And that thing doesn't really have any good games on it (maybe Jack Bros and that japanese horror/shooter game but both are very rare and expensive).
But then again you can emulate NES and SNES games on your computer really easily while the Virtual Boy is an unique gameplay experience, so don't be discouraged if that's what you really want to go for :) For the most part stuff that gives you bragging rights/is obscure and neat just wont give nearly as much bang for your back (if any) as the boring old regular systems every one knows of.

Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box

I actually bought one of my 2013 systems that I planned to get the other day:) A boxed Sega Master System. The only other system I am planning on getting this year is a tubrografx-16.
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

It's a model 1.

You've got some good titles there. Shark! Shark! is a good one, AD&D is awesome, Utopia is fun once you figure out how to play.

Now I have someone to talk Intellivision with! :lol:
