Had a chance to buy a Tapwave Zodiac with Duke Nukem, Doom II, and THPS4 for 60 bucks one time. Got a PSP instead.

PSP is obviously a better system but I can get those things for nothing now and Zodiacs are like 200+ dollars loose.

Only a few for me:

1. I wouldn't have sold off and bought back my Genesis collection twice.
2. I would have focused on PCE & Saturn more than Neo Geo.
3. I would have avoided buying the same game in multiple formats.

Honorable mention: I regret not buying Kiruna Encounter AES/JP for $75.

I probably should have played PS1 and PS2. I skipped a ton of shit on both those platforms for personal reasons.

I have held onto the games that I have always wanted. KOEI stuff, for it all sits on top of my shelf. Complete and in all their glory. I dont even play anything ether. I have just kept things that I have played over and over. And I dont know if ill ever get rid of any of it. As for everything else. I have it all on my hyperspin setup. Its honestly amazing. I think in due time I have become much more focused on what I feel is important, while retaining the ability to play what I have and havent. Its quite a refreshing feeling. I think I can attribute it to becoming more wise in basic decisions.

This!

Why did I ever think it was a good idea to have the AES, MVS, and CD versions of the same game?!?!

I took it a step further. Got the MD, PCE and SFC versions as well. What a waste.

Nothing. Got a modded Xbox in '02? And never looked back.

Like playing my candy cabs, but only keep about 8 games on hand. Right now with pcbprices the way they are, I'll be holding onto more and may have to raise my limit.

I'd like to say I wish I would've held on to my entire PSX/Saturn/Dreamcast collections (300+ games) that I gutted back in 2004 when I lost my job and paid bills through fleabay for a year. However, while I'd love to be able to flip all of the Working Designs PSX games and the final/big 4 US Saturn games (Panzer Saga, Rayearth, Burning Rangers and House of the Dead) for 2015 prices, that shit kept a roof over my head and I likely wouldn't be playing any of it anyway. I do legit wish I would've held on to my Radiant Silvergun and DDP Saturn though.

Other than that, I'm kinda fine with what I've got.

I think I should have bought less stuff, especially systems that have SD carts or multi carts.

I've been meaning to sell my US AES SSVS unfixed and US AES Sengoku 3, pick up 160 in 1 MVS cart and call it a day. Still have yet to happen.

But what I really would like to change is: Play the games. My backlog is huge and I dont eve attempt to play anything. But then with 2 little kids there is no time (4 year old and 11month old).

I'm still kicking myself for selling off my NES in the early nineties to fund my SNES.

I was very meticulous about my games even as a kid, so everything was super minty and well kept. These games would have been worth maybe $1000 in that condition on the Swedish market right now. (Yeah prices are fucking crazy with minty Bergsala imported NES games)

SMB1, SMB2, SMB3, Zelda and North & South with the boxed NES.

Sold for something like the equivalent of $100 right now... :oh_no:

Thinking more: Prioritizing.

There was a point years ago where I wanted every title in a series, even if I did not know anything about that series or played it. I heard it was good at some point, so i wanted everything. It was a good 1000+ title wishlist and no direction whatsoever, which made me buy a lot of games I had never played nor cared to play. I was able to sell a lot of it off for what I had paid for it, but there were many titles i took a loss on that wasnt needed if I had only gotten a focus on what I liked and prioritized.

The Good:

I have purchased most of the items I sold back then

The Bad:

Should have NEVER

Sold off my Genesis and Sega CD systems along with a lot of games to my cousin for $150
Only purchased a few MVS and 1 candy machine
Should have purchased a Turbografx and games

The Ugly:

I gave away a large collection of NES console and games to a friend

The only thing I regret is not picking up some of the pricier AES games when I started. I always thought I'd wait until a good deal came along, and now they're out of reach. I guess I'll just continue to hope for the majority of people to find something new so the prices crash. I don't care what my collection's valued at, I'd just like to be able to add a few more games.

Apart from that I bought collections when I wanted to play them and sold them when I'd had enough. Nothing to regret really.

Wish I would have bought Flinstones 2 on NES for $110 in 2010; wish I would not have sold my Star Fox competition cart; wish i did not sell my mega man 7 cart for $40; wish that I did not sell off about 20 AES games a few years back; glad i kept slug 3 and 5, Spinmaster, viewpoint and a few others, though.
