Just curious to see what retro consoles you all are currently focusing much of your time and money collecting for the moment? Fell free to list specific titles you are after as well if you'd like.

Up until about 3-weeks ago, I was heavily snatching up Dreamcast games left and right, however I've slowed down a little, mostly because many of the games I need to complete my Dreamcast game catalog are of the expensive variety (Cannon Spike, Tech Romancer, Project Justice, you get the idea). Fortunately I did find a copy of Skies of Arcadia for only $2.50 today, so that was really nice :p

The system I am currently trying to collect for a bit more heavily is the SNES. I'm sure playing Secret of Mana right now had a lot to do with it, but the SNES cannot be ignored, it is simply an incredible system to own and play games on. Here is a short list of SNES games I am trying very hard to track down for the best prices possible:

-Super Ghouls n' Ghosts

-Stunt Race Fx

-Starfox

-Chrono Trigger

-Zombies ate my Neighbors

-Super Punch Out

-Earthbound

-Kirby's Dreamland 3

-TMNT: Turtles in Time

-Actraiser

Those ones are sort of at the top of the list, but there are WAY, WAY more that I'd be happy to own and play.

The Super Nintendo I have 50 SNES games. 33 Sega Megadrive/Genesis games. NES and N64 32 games each. Gamecube 31, Xbox 30. Playstation 1 54 games. Playstation 2 147 games. (didn't count PSP since I bought all of my games when it was Sony's current portable)

So SuperNES and Playstation/Playstation 2are thethree systems I will mostly buy a game for when retro shopping. While the least likely is Gameboy Color which I have a mere 4 games for.

If I had to pick one system I most want to buy for is The super Nintendo out of all my retro systems.

Focusing on the Mega Drive right now. Way too many holes in the collection that need patching up. It's tough as I pretty much only have eBay to rely on unless I get lucky during the summer and find some good stuff at car boot sales. Summer is coming up so here's hoping.

Not terribly retro but I'm also focusing on my PS2 collection, I have a list of probably 20+ games that I'm looking to pick up for it over the course of this year, but I'm not in too much of a hurry as there isn't anything too rare on that list.

With my extremely limited funds, whatever I can buy. I'd say the N64 considering I own around 55 games for it.

I haven't really been focusing on anything retro at the moment. I'm going to try and pick up a top-loading NES pretty soon, but the prices always deter me from the purchase.

I never focus on anyone system in particular as don't collect for the sake of collecting but rather to get games that I want to play. So if I find something good I want, I'll pick it up. That being said, I have been giving my SNES a little more love than the others lately since it's the "newest" system I've purchased in a while and I never owned one when I was younger.

As for consoles I'm looking to simply add to the collection, I'm looking to pick up an Atari 2600. There hasn't been any good deals for one in awhile. But I'm currently buying games for my new Dreamcast. Any obscure Dreamcast games that are good?

My Game Boy Advance is my main squeeze right now with regular Game Boy and Game Boy Color coming next. I was just picking up lots that seemed like they have some decent games but now that I am getting to have enough of these little guys that they're a pain to store I am starting to focus a lot more on things that I really want to play. RPGs in specific have piqued my interest as of late. Handhelds are ideal for RPGs, like reading a book.

Just won a Sega Saturn auction on eBay after feeling nostalgic (used to own one many years ago), so I'll no doubt be paying out for plenty of Saturn games over the next few months.

I am always looking out for decent titles to expand my PS2 collection. Recently I bought a Gamecube with a couple of Mario titles for only £10, so I've been focusing on that too. As well as that, anything retro! I work in a games shop, so I often see good games come in and am able to pick them up straight away.

I managed to get Twilight Princess for GC but would really like the other Zelda games, as well as a GC memory card!
