What no Game Gear? Pussy! J/K Props on the systems. between me and my roommate and my GF I think we got all those systems covered. Cept the Turbo Grafix. My mom was adament about not buying that expensive ass piece. Also why the 32X and the CD? they came out so close to each other and the 32 had like no support your parents make mine look like scrooge!
My little brother had a Game Gear, it was a SMS, plus the battery life sucked. Then again, I did buy the Nomad, which my little brother now has. Thing is built like a tank, still works perfect.
I got my Turbo-Grafx-16 for 199 when it was new, which was a good deal at the time. My parents bought me the NES, SMS, and TG-16. I traded for most of my systems. Bikes, Rollerblades, Boogie Boards, Butterfly/Paratrooper/Bowie Knives, mini bikes, dirt bikes, etc. If your mom thought the TG-16 was expensive, imagine what she would have thought about the Neo Geo. I saved and bought that on my own.
The SegaCD was out long before the 32x. I acquired the 32x from Funcoland when I worked there. I acquired lots of things via the defective box... heheheh. I basically got it for Doom and Star Wars. Interesting thing about 32x was that it used the Genesis to draw the backgrounds in 16-bit, while it rendered the foreground graphics in 32-bit.
Oh yeah, I also had Jaguar for about a month or two, but traded it away. I never owned a 3DO but it did have some kewl games.
I now have a huge rom collection ( my ftp is roughly 500GB, about 40GB of that is roms ) and PS2 , N64, and Gamecube.
If you want to check out some kewl lesser known emu's do a search for Daphne ( laserdisc arcade emu - Dragons Lair, Space Ace, etc - roms are huge ), Vivanonna ( Ridge Racer Arcade Series emu ), and U64emu ( Killer Instinct Arcade Series Emu ). I've also seen a few of the large HD image roms released lately for Mame, such as "Area 51/Maximum Force" . In a few years, with a couple of raises, I'll buy a house and have a dedicated arcade room with some old classic arcade games and a Mame Cabinet.
