I noticed last night that there is a distinct difference in the way myself and my wife buy games. I'm more into the NES, and she's more into the newer generation of games. We each have a few exceptions of course, but that's pretty much how it is. What's really cool, is that when we go game hunting, we kind of help each other out. When we go to the NES section of our nearest video game dealer (by that I mean an old school and new school dealer), she looks through them and tries to find games that she has heard me mention before, or one that I'm looking for specifically. When we go into the newer games, I'm pretty much looking for her. As I said, there's some I would like to get that I look for, but it seems that it's mainly for her when we look at the newer games. All three of us are always looking for TMNT games on any system for obvious reasons ;) Jeremiah also really likes to play GameBoy games (original or advanced), so when we look at those, we tend to look for him. I think it's a good thing that we all have differences in collecting/gaming. This way we can all experience the differences of each system be it modern or retro. It serves for a well-rounded gaming household... I'm quite happy with it myself :D Has anyone else noticed differences in preference for each individual in your household, and do you help each other find the games you like?

That's really nice, Roth. :) Congrats to such a cool family. :D
My wife doesn't collect, she just wants to play good RPGs and Saint Seiya games. But! She knows what I'm searching for and sometimes helps me finding cool stuff. 8)

I love NES, my husband doesn't.
A love our Atari 2600, he is neutral towards it.
He loves his Sinclair Spectrum ZX, I think it's crap.
I love my Genesis, he's not overly fond of it.
We both love our PS2, N64, Gamecube.
We have a SNES, but I've never played one due to our power cord was eaten by his cat (before I moved in).
So that's kinda how it works around here.

Well, my brother doesn't collect ...yet. However, he loves the N64. Now, to exploit that weakness.
 The SiniLegion wants YOU!Signature mostly fixed by Luke. ;)
