    Curious if anyone else has the same fascination as I do with Nintendo, and Super Nintendo games.

    I picked up a Super Nintendo system and collected about 20 games or so as of right now, and just scored a killer deal on an original Nintendo "top loader" system, with a great condition box complete, and a lot of 24 games.

    I'd be interested in buying other peoples ninendo items too if they are looking to do some spring cleaning.

    I don't, but I've been contemplating it if I come across stuff. Been watching a lot of videos of game collectors on youtube.

    I regret not grabbing the Super Nintendo I found in a closet in the house I lived in in college. I saw it the first day and forgot to take it.

    I'm not much of a gamer anymore, but I do have a PS4. I'm going to pick up games toward the end of their releases when they're on sales/clearance.

    I have an NES, Genesis (and a Nomad!), Dreamcast. Looking to add an SNES and others, but I don't have a rec room to put it all in yet.

    I buy many of mine at local vintage videogame place. GAMEWORLD
    They have everything from Vectrex to original Atari 2600s, Intellivision, Turbografx, Neo•Geo, etc! I don't have a lot of time to play games, but I have huge nostalgia feelings for the late 80s-early 90s systems.

    That's awesome Ry. For some reason I've been really intrigued by the Sega Saturn. If I find anything for a decent price I'll probably start collecting for the same reason you mention.....nostalgia.

    I'd like to find some of those rare games. I'm sure there's still some out there in the wild with people who have no idea what they have. I actually have an original copy of Final Fantasy 7 for PS1. I'll be hanging on to that for a while.

    Still have the SNES from when I was a kid. Still love playing Mario Kart, although not quite as good as my former self. :)

    Although I had NES and SNES, I was a Sega fan at heart. Had Sega Master System, Genesis then a Saturn and a three years ago a Dreamcast from a friend. I remember trading my Atari Jaguar in on launch day for a Saturn.

    On Saturn I would play Virtua Fighter 2 and Sega Rally Championship the most. I never had NIGHTS. I think if they would have had a simpler architecture/OS and been price competitive with Sony it would have done better against the PS1.

    I sold my SNES, but kept my old Atari 2600 and Atari computer. Both with original boxes and boatloads of games.

    I'm a little "old" for NES / SNES, but as a lifelong gamer, I never grew out of it (that's how I ended up getting a SNES from my wife, before my kids were born).

    Now a family man, we loved the Wii, but the kids are getting older so we now have an Xbox. My armoire is loaded - Wii, Playstation 1, and the Xbox, plus a few Nintendo DS... :)
