@Palipillino I started when I got my grandpappy's N64 collection, which was just a few games large. N64 emulation was pretty bad, so I built out a list of games I felt were representative of the console or which I had nostalgia for, and once a month I'd knock a game or two off.

That's been the pattern, more or less. I'd eyeball a new console, buy it after a lot of debate, then build a hit list. At this point I'm not really looking to add more consoles, so I just skim my list of games once a month and pick up whatever I'm feeling or can afford.
