...reducing your games and systems collection to just one system?
This isn't a dessert island question, more like musing on the stuff you have and how often you use/play it.
I've found that having lots of stuff does not always mean lots of fun. Having a choice is nice but the more you have, the longer it will take to pick a game you wanna play and then you often end up with the tried-and-proven favourites because you're quickly getting tired of skimming through hundreds of titles.
Remember the days when you had just one system and a couple of games? The idea to have more than one was just inconceivable for most of us so we squeezed every bit of fun out of the machine we had. We bought magazines, swapped games with friends, rented them for the weekend and had fun with our buddies into the wee hours.
Well, a few decades have passed since then and of course things have changed a lot but wouldn't it still be nice to go back to that mindset and reduce things to the max, so to speak?
