Almost done!
Looks like ColecoVision is about all that's left now.
My collection as it stands is:
Atari 8-bit Computers and 130 games
Atari 2600 and 88 games
Mattel Intellivision and 58 games
Atari Lynx and 54 games
Sony Playstation 2 and 19 games
Atari 7800 and 16 games
Atari 5200 and 14 games
Atari Jaguar and 14 games
NEC Turbografx-16 and 14 games
Sega Genesis and 12 games
Nintendo Entertainment System and 11 games
Nintendo Super NES and 8 games
(Nearly all the games are CIB. There are exceptions, but they're mostly home brews and pack-ins. The biggest exception consists of about half the Lynx carts, which came packed in with Lynx consoles I bought for $60 in the closeout days. Yes, I bought a lot of Lynx's back then.)
My current want list holds a few games each for several of the systems above. And, of course, the ColecoVision and some dozen and a half games for it.
But this is a seasonal hobby for me, and spring is near. It's about time to hang up my controllers and head out to the amusement parks. But when I come back to this in November, I'll be able to enjoy all I've added this year, including the 5200, 7800, and Genesis, as well as a few games for the 2600, NES, and SNES.
Next year, I will hopefully get the ColecoVision system and games, plus a few more games for the other systems. Then I'll be able to take the collecting much more slowly. It's been a busy and costly three years, and I've put a lot of time into building this collection and getting it all set up so I can play any system at any time with no more trouble than flicking a couple of switches. And it's been tough sticking to my goal of only buying the games I know I like. But I'm almost there now.
Just one more year...
