dammit Syd, don't dodge my scathing comment.

In my defense, those games were bought over a three and a half year period, and many of them were bought for well below original retail. Also, the following ones were gifts:

Cruis'n (Unsolicited)
Balloon Pop (Unsolicited)
Bratz (Unsolicited)
Sonic Unleashed
Mushroom Men
Onechanbara
Virtua Tennis
Deadly Creatures
Endless Ocean
Wii Fit
Link's Crossbow Training
Rock Band 2
Ghostbusters
Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games
Sonic & The Secret Rings
Tales of Symphonia 2
Shaun White Snowboarding
Soulcalibur Legends
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll
Zack & Wiki
Godzilla Unleashed

And Guitar Hero: Van Halen was free.

Also, this is my primary hobby. I rarely buy MTG packs and singles anymore. And I live off ramen noodles and store brand diet soda.

I am still confused as to why Syd doesn't work for Nintendo yet.

Probably because I didn't buy Wii Music.

In the IRC the other day, I said I had never seen or played Wii Music and Cameron had a great line describing it: "If you throw a grenade into a high school band room, that's pretty much what Wii Music sounds like."

I like how there's a fake NES controller next to a bunch of real NES games.

I got most of this stuff through countless yard sales, flea markets and some of it as a kid. I'm don't own any games that I don't love, so if I don't have to have it, I flip it on Ebay and get something I want. It's fun collecting, but I would rather have a collection of games I love to play, not just rare ones. I'm 19 games shy of having the Sydlexia SNES top 100 games...one day I shall find EVO sitting in a box at a yard sale, one day...

You also have at least one arcade machine too, right? Your collection is amazing.

I want an arcade machine or two, but I'm hung up on which ones to get since there are so many good ones. I could probably just buy a cabinet and run MAME on it, but that would kinda violate the topic in question. <_<

Perhaps Hydro Thunder, since you can't really emulate racing games with the real experience....

My top two picks for pinball/arcade machines to own would be Revolution X and the Gun N' Roses Pinball. Revolution X, I imagine would be relatively easy to obtain. The GN'R machine, not so much. It is very popular with collectors.

I want simpsons pinball, I would find a girl who loves me, marry her, father a child, and sell it for a simpsons pinball machine.
