This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What do I need next for my Video game den?

My newer consoles are hooked to my HDTV.

D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

A Sega CD.  I'd recommend also getting a model 1 Genesis for this purpose, as you want a Model 1 Sega CD.  The model 2 Sega CD is a disc destroying and failure prone creature of evil.

Flash Carts.  SD2SNES, Mega Everdrive, Everdrive 64, Everdrive N8.

An Atari 7800.

The next console on my list is the Master system.

After that I'm torn between a turbografix or a 2600.

I do have a line on a genesis model 1 w/box. But I'm pretty ambivalent to the CD (and 32x for that matter). I could be sold though.

Oh, Turbographix, aka PC Engine. It was quite advanced when it came out. They are pretty expensive now.

I was very involved in several titles on that platform in the early 90s. I especially liked Air Zonk for its silly flying characters.

I love my Sega CD, but then I got some of its best games.

I'd get a SMS, sega master system, for completion sake. But how about a Genesis Power Convertor to play most of the games and focus on a TG-16 and TG CD, as that'd be harder to find.

And as always, MOAR GAMES! That's way more important than just systems. I'm nowhere near finished with any one of my console libraries, and the SEGA CD is the smallest and most complete of what I have. GBA is going to be an utter pisser. If that's your entire collection in that cabinet, I am most disappointed.

You have the GBA Convertor for your Gamecube?

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

I try and be really picky with the games I buy, just because I know I can blow my budget picking up everything. But I am slowly building out my collection.

You need a Vectrex and a multicart. Book it. Done.

I'm not sure I want to get into pre-crash consoles just yet.

If you were married, all that stuff would be in your basement. Or your station wagon.

I agree.  In all honesty, I have too much. I speak from experience when I say that you can certainly HAVE 1,000 or more games, but you certainly CAN'T PLAY 1,000 or more games.

For the collection go for quality.  Having a small collection means that everything is meaningful.  Having a large collection just means you have a lot of stuff you never have any time to play.  Save the hoarding for the flashcarts.

Incidentally, I think I understand the reasoning for the top loader and toaster NES both being hooked up.  What is the rationale for the model 2 genesis and a model 3 being hooked up simultaneously?  Or is the model 3 just up there for cute factor?
