What's the main system you collect for?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I used to collect for N64 and atari 2600, but I havn't picked up a game for either of those systems in over a year.
1. GBA
2. GC
3. N-gage
4. N64
5. 2600
Then everything else

I completed the 32X collection a while back and and am finishing up the PS1 Longbox collection presently (only 9 left!). I'm not sure if I want to go all out for something after that or not. I'm fairly happy with where most of my collections are aside from the games in my want list - so I don't see the retro collection growing a whole lot more. Collecting a complete set for the O2 has crossed my mind though...

I pick things up here and there for any system without any real aim most of the time. If I had to narrow it down to one, I would say the Saturn is the system I will "hunt down" games for. It may not be the system I own the most titles for, but I went above and beyond to get a lot of the ones I have.

I collect hardware rather than software. I'd rather have a ton of systems with a few good games each than a complete collection of any given system. I also collect 3rd party hardware, like mod chips and flash carts. As a result, I can play pretty much any game I want on any system I want.

If I buy a game these days either, I played it as a kid so it has nostalgia value in just owning the cart. Or it's a legendary game that happened to fall into my hands very cheaply. Or it's a game that just doesn't work on a modified console.

That exactly how I am! Most of my systems have less than 20 games for them but I buy games individually rather than in bundles. I also collect for the most recent console I have, just recently I got an Xbox, so I'm collecting for it now currently.
