As it stands now I have a majority of the games on that list (including a complete Earthbound! -grin-) plus a few rares that NEVER get played. I guess I need to decide if I care more about being a "collector" or if I would be just as content being able to play these games on the original hardware. What were they smoking when they made this have a complete SNES collection? How long did it take you? Loose carts or complete think you guys hit the nail on the head. Rocky Roden is freakin' insane!
