As a few of you may know, I have an addiction to collecting anything gaming, as such I pretty much grab anything I find in the thrift store. One thing I always have a small internal struggle with however, is whether or not devices from VSmile and Leapster are worthy, or even some of the old retro systems from gamings infancy where anyone and everyone had a gaming device. I even find myself drooling over japanese game consoles like the FM Towns Marty or MSX, even though I can't understand the language one bit.
So far I have not picked up any of the 'early child/learning' consoles(with the exception being the Sega Pico, because Sega!), and I do grab the consoles I find from the early atari age, but I've noticed that there are soooooo many clones from that era, a part of me questions whether or not it is even worth picking those clones up.
So what do you guys think? What makes some consoles collection worthy and others not?
