Andromeda Stardust Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Both back in the day. TG16 for Power Golf. I loved the music. Golf, really? Kids make some odd choices sometimes... I bought a TG-16 for the Bonk series and now the series has become too expensive for me to get. So my TG-16 sits with just my games that came with it (Devils Crush and Keith Courage in the Alpha Zones).Hi. I managed to score a TG-16 on eBay earlier this year with Kieth's Courage and Bonk's Adventure. I also picked up Bonk's Revenge, Devil's Crush, Alien's Crush, Time Warp, Pacland (Nostalgia - I played this game on my Lynx as a kid). Then I looked at some more games and how expensive most of the good stuff was (Bonk III, Air Zonk, etc...), and quickly invested in an Everdrive. Just recently I scored a Parasol Stars. All CIB except Time Warp. If memory serves me correct, Time Warp was a late release and came with a cardboard sleeve instead of a jewel case. But I guess you could say I got the TG-16 mainly for Bonk's and some Crush Pinball. Edited November 7, 2014 by stardust4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Nintendo 64. I bought it because at the time Robotech: Crystal Dreams was allegedly on it's way. Of course, that game never materialized, and probably would have been less than good even if it had come out. I never did find anything I really liked for the system during it's lifetime. Even now, I think there's probably only about 5 or fewer games on the system I'd consider worth playing. Dreamcast. Someone I knew was selling a non-working one for $20, so I decided to buy it and see if I could coax it into running. I did and promptly acquired Soul Calibur for the system. Other than Grandia II (a title I never could get hold of for the system), there was never anything else I found entertaining on it. Regardless, I've kept a DC around for years exclusively for Soul Calibur. Of course, that's been pretty pointless ever since SC2. GameCube. I had money burning a hole in my pocket and I happened to see Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee. I bought the system for that one game alone. This one has a bit happier ending than the others, because I did eventually find some other games worth playing on the system. X-Box 360. When I bought this system, the ONLY thing that seemed interesting for it was Dead or Alive 4. There was nothing on the upcoming list that looked good. I happened to be in a WalMart early on the New Years Eve following the launch when there were all the "shortages" of systems. On a whim I decided to hang out with a bunch of other people who were spending their New Year's Eve acquiring a game system. Eventually there were some other games worth owning the system for.

Cobra Commander Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I would get another DC just for Sega Bass Fishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashv Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I would get another DC just for Sega Bass Fishing. I bought a DC (used) just to play homebrew. I don't have a single official game for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I bought a DC (used) just to play homebrew. I don't have a single official game for it. Well, I mostly play homebrew on my Ataris... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 But I guess you could say I got the TG-16 mainly for Bonk's and some Crush Pinball. My TG-16 collection is now down to 3 games after my purge - Alien Crush, Time Cruise, and Galaga 90 - two pinball games and an arcade classic. Just how I roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how I roll What, no Devil's Crush? That's the best one! There's also a sequel for Super Famicom called "Jaki Crush" that's equally as good. Also check out Dragon's Fury and Dragon's Revenge for Genesis. Some really badass pinball games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karyyk Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I bought the original Playstation just for Final Fantasy VII, more or less. There were some other games that seemed mildly interesting, and others that I'd come to love (Suikoden, Xenogears), but I doubt I would have taken the plunge if not for Final Fantasy VII. I also just bought a Playstation TV for TxK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I bought an original B&W Gameboy just to play Tetris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbackmatt Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Gran Tourismo is why I actually rented an original Playstation from Blockbuster in college. GT3 is why I bought a PS2. I didn't buy a PSP until GT Mobile came out for it... and sold the kit not long after. I asked for a Genesis just to play Sonic. I almost kept a TG16 just for Galaga 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I bought the 3DS just to play Animal Crossing last year on Christmas. It had Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon pre-loaded already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The VCS. For Combat and Basic Math. I was learning to count and add about that time, maybe a little earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I don't think I ever bought a system with the idea that I'd only play one game on it. (Besides my Sears Telegames Pong, anyway. )TI Invaders persuaded me to buy a TI99/4a, though, if that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkoShirabe Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The only one I bought just for one game was Saturn for Magic Knight Rayearth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Not necessarily one game, but I did buy a Wii U for the Mario games. I bought an ex a Gamecube just so she could play Animal Crossing, if that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Added to this list: Although I had the game already, I bought a limited edition Halo 4 360. However, it didn't have the game with it or an extra controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sega 32X for Doom. To this day its the only cartridge I own for that system. Stupid move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkrownd Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Microvision for Blockbuster. Same for me, actually. And also, it was only $5 at a garage sale. AND, the Microvision remains the only "console" I ever bought! Edited January 21, 2015 by bkrownd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I bought an N64 in 2003 just to play Mario Kart. I never regretted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Okay, I have to admit that I got started on the Dreamcast because of Soul Calibur. I soon found out that there are a ton of other great titles for that machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Sure lot's of us bought a game system for one game but then discovered tons of other good stuff to play on it. But how many systems exist that are true one-hit-wonders, ie you by the system for that one game and it really is the only game in the library worth playing? Dedicated consoles/handhelds that lack removable media don't count obviously. Edited February 5, 2015 by stardust4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
