What are your favorite systems to collect for? I know, I've said this a million times, but I don't consider myself much of a collector. Sure, I do buy and keep pretty much everything that interests me (when I've got the clams, that is), but I've never really went out looking for something in particular. NES, SNES, Genesis, it's all the same to me. But there is one particular kind of game that I enjoy finding more than another, almost to the point that I'd end up buying (relative) crap as long as the box is pretty.
PC games.
Like many of you, I am a child of two worlds: arcade games (mid-eighties to mid-nineties) and consoles (early eighties to current). Unlike in the UK, low priced computer systems never caught on past the C64, and even then that would be a hard sell to my penny-pinching parents. So finding PC software from ANY time period, be it eighties or current, is always thrilling for some reason. One of my favorite finds of all time was when I discovered that the local EB Games sold used PC games. This was just before they were sold to Gamestop, like around a month before or so, but nonetheless I managed to purchase well over 50 games during this period. Everything from the Crusader games to the Silent Hill games and even full boxed copies of the Baldur's Gate games! I must have drove my poor wife crazy, bringing home a couple bags of stuff every Friday for a month with a mad gleam in my eyes.
Well, what about it. Anything you guys tend to look for more than others? A guilty pleasure perhaps?

So I'm an odd ball. So I am usually the last to post on a blog/forum. So I only post about weird games on weird platforms. So I have a strange relationship with commas and parenthesis. So what? Hey, at least you don't have to car pool with me to work, right? So have a heart, eat a blueberry, and don't forget to drop the empties in the box on the way out. I get deposit on those. |
