Yep. I've had several complete sets without owning the systems. Just have to have one of each type of packaging.

My whole 2013 collection goal is based upon this thread, basically collecting systems for games I currently own. I figure I can always find missing pieces of the puzzle later on when the price is right.

So do u guys shy away from disc games that have scratches?
no, unless it's really really bad. the only thing i try to avoid are deep looking circular scratches. radial scratches (ones that go straight from center to edge), from what i understand, aren't as bad as the ones that follow the curve of the disc. i've had some with dozens of radial scratches work fine, and others with only a couple small circular scratches not work.

I have an SMS that may need the card slot cleaned/repaired if you're interested, since you need an SMS.
Nah, I already sold the games. I don't really have much interest in owning one. I always wanted to Sega Saturn but couldn't find enough games I would enjoy personally to warrant a purchase. The only system I'm actively looking for is an Atari 7800 or maybe a PSP for the right price. Thanks though.

I do. Most PS1/PS2 games I buy cost me 1 or 2 euro each. Repairing one disc costs about 7,50 euro!
So unless it's a rare (expensive) game, I'll walk away as fast as I can.
On topic: Yes, I picked up various NTSC games, although I don't have those systems.

Sure do. I owned the entire Atari 7800 library for a year or so before I owned a 7800 system.

Whoa. Crazy... but impressive.
Like most of you guys are saying, I'll pick em up if they're in good condition, and definitely if I plan on getting the system. I've grabbed few (three) Dreamcast games, but no Dreamcast yet.

I am like most on here. I will grab games, if I intend on picking up the system, but only if I find them for cheap. I will also pick up games I do not intend on owning a system if I know the games is valuable.

I have several games and accessories for platforms I do not yet own. Most of the games and accs I buy, I intend to use and play when I finally get the hardware for 'em. Some stuff I'll flip for much needed gas money to continue doing my twelve-store thrift crawls. And I almost always buy' em cheap. 'Cuz... well, 'cuz I'm cheap.

I have a couple of Game Gear games and not the system. I'm not huge into Sega in general so I'm not in a rush to get one.

I bought a boxed program recorder for a Atari computer once because it was cheap and kinda cool, and I have some games on 5.25 in floppy disc that came thrown in with other stuff(I've got a old external Apple 5.25 in drive, I don't know if there's a way to rig it run on a windows PC or not)

I do, but I usually only pick them up because they're cheap enough and I figure I'll find the system eventually. I've got 5-6 PS3 and PSP games and I don't have either system, but I picked up each of the games for right around $3 a piece. I have 15-20 N-Gage games and no system as well.

Absolutely. I had 2 Play Choice 10 PCBs before I had the machine. In general, if its a good game at a good price, I buy it regardless of whether or not I have the system.

Yeah, I buy games for systems I don't own. I like getting new systems as part of this hobby. One or the other has to come first. I want to keep buying systems so if I don't have one now I figure I will in the future.
I'm very patient about my collecting, so I just pick things up when they are a good deal and match them up later when their counterparts are a good deal.
Right now I have 3DO, TG16, PS3 and Jaguar games waiting for systems to show up.
