Yeah i have a MAJOR collection of games, arcadia 2000, atari 2400, genesis, saturn, dreamcast, nes, snes, n64, gamecube, wii, xbox, 360, ps1, ps2, ps3, etc. etc. I have almost 3 to 4 consoles for each system. For the nes, snes, ps1,ps2, gensis, i have close to 200 games each system, the others over 100 games each system except the arcadia and in all of those games i doubt i have anything of great value. I collected these thru the yrs for my 3 kids. I told them when they turn 21 they will get a "set" of consoles but they have to share games.

I would love to finish out the complete dreamcadt game list though. I have like 140 out out 238 games i beleive.

Only here to annoy...
