I like to set clear definable goals ahead of time, so I don't just end up buying things blindly or forgetting about games I'd like to own. For example, there are six more DS games I'd like to get and then I'll consider my DS collection to be essentially "complete".

One problem I have is the fact that I have been sinking so much money into consoles that I have none left over to buy games. For example, I only own 2 Master System games, 2 Neo Geo Pocket Color games, and 1 Turbo CD game. But like I said in the original post, that's going to change as I now own all the consoles I feel I need to.

Play-Asia occasionally gets used WS games for decent prices.

EBay seller game_agora has a lot of WS games for good prices (although he tends to jack up the prices on very rare games, like SRW Compact 3 and the WonderWitch developed titles when he has them), and will combine shipping costs. A good handful of my WS collection came from him.

I wonder if Racketboy would be interested in a Wonderswan Games guide. I could probably do a pretty good one.
Thanks. That Genki site looks pretty decent, though I've never ordered from the UK before. And I've had good luck with Play Asia in the past.

I've hit one myself recently! I set out to find and collect all of the Capcom NES games and got them all knocked off the list! I've played about half of them all the way through and hopefully will get them all beaten by the end of next year maybe.

I've actually been working on my consoles as well. Just got a Dreamcast and have been on constant awareness to scope a deal on a TurboGrafx. There's quite a few others on the list as well, so it'll take a while!
I have less than 20 total games, eh, not much of a collection. But uh, I have collected all 7 Resident Evil paperback novels by S.D. Perry! :D
They have escaped into the mansion where they thought it was safe, yet.

You had an article piece about the story of obtaining Section Z :D
Yup. That would be the one. :mrgreen:
Since not too many people obtained an issue,I will cherish it as a personal memoir written just for me. :lol:

I enjoyed all the material in the mag,It felt the warm hearted and approached with much devotion you guys simple talked about what you know best :mrgreen:
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
