Well of course I understand that side, I'm a big gamer and that means I like exploring a bunch of avenues to play games. I am a collector too which I know is in itself a bad word around here, but I collect with the intent to play and also allow others to play as well. My area is setup with the best resources I could muster in order to hook up and enable use of the consoles for actual play rather than just a room filled with bookshelves and sealed games no one can touch you know?
Just unlike some, the turbografx is not the only system to which my interest is in, it's one of many systems I am working on so that I can just browse a library of games and say, that one to whatever is on the shelf when the mood strikes. I missed out on it as a kid and the games I have played seemed very fun, so I'd like to expand my options while staying within my parameters set for all the rest.
Regardless, I see no reason for people to get so upset over someone who operates differently then them. Personally, i'm not big into people who only collect sealed games because as I am, I really enjoy playing them and sharing with others the stuff they might have wanted to try, but I don't go jump down a persons throat for collecting sealed, it's their money and time to use as they want, and if I was able to lead them the right way I would. Just common courtesy versus being a jerk.
Unfortunately I am not rich enough to buy every good game on the planet, denying imported games was one of the cost control methods I employed when I began buying older games because I knew i'd never have the finances or space to represent every system I wanted fairly, so at times the US version of something cost more, but ultimately will result in me spending a lot less. Obviously I wish I didn't have an OCD about that, but some things aren't easily helped :p I do appreciate the names though, one person has been messaging me with info but i'll keep them in mind too if they can help.
