Oh, hell. If I started typing in my collection, I'd be here for a week.

The only major systems I missed between the Atari 2600 and the Dreamcast were the Atari Lynx, the (non-pocket) NeoGeo systems, and the N64. I skipped the N64 because there's nothing on it that I wanted to play, and the other two just never fell into my lap. (Note that 90% of those systems were bought used and at steep discounts via flea markets, clearance sales, etc. -- I'm not Mr. Moneybags, either.)

Current addiction: back to MAME for a bit, as I just finished filling the holes in my .59 collection. Between MAME, Visual Pinball/VPinMAME and the 400+ Game Boy Advance ROMs I picked up this weekend (insert some arrr! arrr! noises here, mateys! USENET -- when you've got DSL, it's not just a MUD for very slow typists), I have plenty to keep me occupied in the emulation world. Freedom Force (PC) is on deck when I have the time to get into it. Meanwhile, my AI in VF4 (Wolf) is up to 7th Dan, and I'm slowly but surely weaning him of some last remaining unproductive habits.

AI training in VF4 is hard work, and quite frustrating early, but it's very cool when a trainee starts getting the hang of it. The first time my Wolf got hammered early in a Ranking Match, came back with a combo I taught him, then finished the opponent with a picture-perfect Austin-style KICK WHAM STUNNER, I nearly wept.
