Post-collection depression/crisis syndrome

[sunteam_paul]

Does anyone else have dreams where you walk into some random shop and spot rare/unowned PC Engine games hidden away somewhere? Or is it just me?

Blue - I can't agree more.  I have started that new quest!   
I beat Tenchi o Waruo in one shot the other day - I love that game.  Was attempting to do the same with Double Dragon 2 last night but I got my ass kicked... I wish that game has a save feature.

Started playing Go-Go Birdie Chance today.  Great game.  I was just playing the solo-golfing mode and found it amazingly fun and relaxing..  Glad I picked it up when I had the chance.     And also thought about beating R-Type but am too spent today to attempt that... (weather was 41 C today at Shanghai... yet my wife's Japanese wife-club dragged all us hubbies/friends and had a BBQ at the hottest damn day. I think I got heatstroke ).     

Playing and beating every PCE/Turbo game is how to beat the depression. Counter your accomplishment with an uber-accomplishment!

Roy - yes, I really need to visit SF soon or my buddie will likely toss out all those packages he is kindly holding for me 

Hi Tokei. Those were doubles, so my collection wasn't affected. The Turbo collection is still growing, I'll have 6 more games in the collection next week. It's tough trying to focus on one system, there are still so many good games to pick up for the Dreamcast, Master System, Nintendo 64, etc. I enjoy all of my consoles and obtaining the games is a hobby that will keep me occupied for many years. You probably have a ton of goodies waiting for you in SF, don't you?

I started my TG/PCE collecting almost three years ago to the day in 2007, and when a couple games I'm waiting on arrive I'll be at 78 games. I don't ever really expect to ever fully complete my PCE collection, but completing the TG collection of games is definitely more attainable. I like the slow approach to collecting because I get to play the games as I get them, though I still have a lot of games I still need to play. My main goal is to get a 50% clear ratio on pcedaikasusen and go from there.

There is this old run down place on my way to my parents cottage way up north, that has the biggest and crappest looking yard sale going for the last 5 years on these random weekends... always wanted to stop in as i have dreams of me finding a box of Magical Chasees and other goodies all waiting for me!!! ... even got as far as daydreaming who i would give them to for cheap... hahahaa

I guess i better stop in 1 time

Good stuff

I started my American collection in 2001 (Duo, 7 games, tap, Arcade Card), then sold everything in 2004 to pay my rent. I've been collecting PCE seriously for about as long as ceti; but I tend to stay away from teh American games. Of course I've found a few hueys in my travels, but I'm only collecting PCE because it keeps things simple. I don't have the storage or the drive to collect anything else.

Yeah, I have had those dreams on many occasions, usually it's Turbo/PCE and Neo Geo games, then you wake up to see that those games aren't in your collection after having visited a store in your dreams and you're quite disappointed for the rest of the morning.

lol, I get those quite frequently. I hate waking up and not having the games though!

[Tatsujin]

Lol. just had discovered this thread.

But I do not know humains, I'm still way too far away from a complete collection to split my head about such things

Just this much as an add, I still do enjoy it a lot

It's been a while, but I've also had such dreams.

The reality doesn't allow me such dreams
