I load up on SNES and NES games when I find em cheap. That's almost the only thing I play besides the PC.

55 NES games
12 SNES games (and not 1 I would throw out!)

There are other systems, but those two I play the most.

Attack of the acronyms!
NES I'd guess 50ish games
PSX Only like 3 games nowadays...
PSone See above.
PS2 Very few, less than 5.
GCN All the games released for the system ever (10).
GBO One?
GBC (limited edition Pokemon, rare!) x2 Zilch. :oops:
GBA Two
NDS Five


Okay, so I'm lacking in the games department. I still have all the games I need though.

I don't get to play with it much any more, but I like playing Populous and Lemmings. Sadly I don't have the desk space to leave it hooked up anymore.

I remember when you posted that, you lucky bastard. I just happened upon my 1000 at a thrift store, $5 for everything. If I had more good games and a better monitor (I use my 1702), I would make space for it.

I don't collect video games, but I do collect Macs…

Performas:
200 (4/40)
6400/180 (32/1.8)

LCs:
LC (10/60)
LC II (10/250)

Compacts:
(200 listed above is also a compact)
Classic II (4/40)

Power Macs:
(6400 listed above is also a Power Mac)
8500/120 (16/2 + 3)
G5 (2.3 GHz dual-core, 512/250)

PowerBooks:
Duo 2300c/100 (56/1.3)

If you're really interested in what those numbers mean, check the years and figure whether they are in MB or GB. (Hint: the RAM is all in MB)

I've got a few consoles...

Playstation (and 2 PSones) with something like 40 games, 10 controllers including 2 Mad Catz steering wheels, and 5 memory cards. This whole set was amassed over the course of almost a decade.

3x Atari 2600 (heavy sixer, light sixer, Sears heavy sixer) with too many stes of paddles, 2 authentic joysticks and a joystick that loks like a grenade. Oh and about 80 unique games too (I don't count doubles.) Let's hear it for buying a big trash bag full of Atari stuff at a yard sale for $10!

PS2 with 5 or 6 games

2x GBC with 10 games (and a GB Camera and a printer)

Intellivision with 6 games. I think it's dead. No big loss.

NES with 10 or so games. I need to fix it again.

Genesis version 2 with roughly 12 games. (I like Virtua Racing)

I also collect some Macs

SE/30 (8 mb RAM, 80 mb HD)
Quadra 650 (32 mb RAM, 500 mb HD)
Motorola StarMax 4000 (?) (128 MB RAM, total 5 gb HD. We moved all the stuff from a bunch of different machines onto it when we got rid of a pile we weren't using)
Power Mac 7200/120 (? MB RAM, 2 GB HD)
Power Mac 7600/132 (? MB RAM, 2 GB HD) I used this one for AV for a while, after we dumped the 8?00 tower for some reason. Yes it has AV inputs and outputs on the back.
2x PowerBook 1400cs (? mb RAM, 1 GB HD) One has a clear BookCovers cover on it. I think both are 133mhz
2x PowerBook Duo 280c
PowerBook Duo 2300c

And finally the most interesting of them all:
PowerBook XXXX (It's a PowerBook 5300 Seed Unit. Basically a late prototype they dispatched for field testing.)

I'll post mine later.
Well at least some body knows I'm here.
I currently have 86 systems and I think I've hit 600 games. Don't get me started on space issues :lol: I have my bed room, spare room and half a basement full of "stuff."

So I just pwn3d all of you in the face, but you guys asked for it.
