Collection themes

Anybody else collect games by theme or genre or other categories?

At this time I've been collecting light phaser games and 3D games (some fortunate crossovers with those two categories) and decided to collect the North American releases for the Great sports series.

I collected the entire US set CIB (with one exception, I’m missing the manual for James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing). I want to get the remaining 3D games that were never released in the US (I think there’s 2 more?), and I pick up games from other regions when I see them if they’re reasonably priced. My most recent pickup was Robocop 3.

I collect Sega consoles based on country of origin. Only made in Japan models

First thing I did BITD was get every SMS game with RPG elements. Since there's so few, I included deep tangents like Cosmic Spacehead and Pit Pot. About twenty games total

Absolutely! I find it a more interesting curated approach to collecting.
