" Out of all the games I've played in the last 35 or so years,  I've never experienced true vertigo, and not even while playing  inFamous and getting that hidden shard at tthe top of the tallest building.

 

That was, until I played  the multi-plat game, "The Saboteur", & started climbing everything.in the game. It wound up being a virtual vertigo fun-fest

And  BTW, they even have a achievement/ trophy for climbing to the very top of the Eiffel Tower & then trying to jump off into a tiny wading pool near the bottom. Darn thing took me about 35 splats onto the concrette before I actually made my Olympic 10 point dive into the center of it..

" Nick,  Thanks.

BTW, I did list my 360 above,  it's the 250Gig Call Of Duty; Modern Warfare skinned bundle.

As for the Wii, that collection will probably start next year, and hopfully with the re-buying of my old Atari 2600, Intellivision, and Collecovision consoles & games.  Plus I still want/need to add the Turbo-Grafix & the old Sega handhelds into my collections too, along with any of the other systems I missed along the way.

But, I just need to either come up with lots & lots more money somewhere, or start begging for donations of all things gaming related, :-)

" Hi Nick,  I joined just so I could respond to your article.

I know you feel strongly about your games but  I think you've got to do what your heart says to do, & what feels right for you.

Look,  in the old days(I'm 57 now) I had the Atari2600, a Intellivision, & a Colecovision console with loads of games to go with them. But foolishly, I was young & dumb & sold them all.

And you know what? Now I regret doing it every single day.

So, every since then, I've kept every console I've gotten my hands on. And I still play all of them(except for the SNES, which I had to pack away for lack of space & input/output jacks)

Yes, that one mistake early on turned me into a gaming collector, and right now I own 20 consoles & handhelds...

SNES,  

Panasonic FZ-10 3DO(the sleek model), 

Jaguar w/64 bit CD apapter, 

Genesis, 

Saturn, 

Dreamcast, 

2 GameBoy Colors, 

Gamecube, 

Xbox, 

250 GB CODMW2 360 bundle, 

5 PSP's , 

PS1,  

PS2, 

& a PS3 (fat 60GB)

I also own 1716 game......er......I better strike that......make it  1720 games now,  because  I forgot I bought 4 cheap "used" PS2 games this week..

Anyway, one day I'll probably will/donate my whole entire collection to the Smithsonian Institute so it can keep our gaming history alive. forever. But until that day, I shall keep on collecting & accepting more gaming donations for all consoles &/or games to fill out my collections, and besides, I still want to play most of them at least once before I kick the bucket, LOL  Plus, I want/need to amass a much larger collection than I have now, before I wind up donating it all.  

 But alas, my funds will  never ever be enough to afford even 1/16th of what consoles, handheld, & games are still out there over the last 35-40 years.   *HUGE LONG SIGH*

 

Anyway, like I said before, do what your heart tells you to do & you'll be fine, no matter whatever your decision turns out to be.
