Once upon a time, I used to own a boxed Atari Jaguar. This was well past its day and firmly when the console was retro and already collectible, but just before it went silly price-wise. Anyway, I never found that many great games to buy for it, and all the ones I would have liked such as AVP were too damn expensive. I did have Tempest 2000, however, and I ended up keeping the Jag set-up solely for that one game (I found that it was THAT good). It literally became a T2K machine.
I did eventually see sense down the line and get rid of the whole lot but I still missed Tempest lol
Anybody else experienced similar?

I kept a games.com to play that lights out game I still have it and the only 3 carts I've ever had.

Some stuff I've only had 1 or 2 games for it but was never intended to be that way, just hadn't found or got around to adding more, these days though whats left usually has several titles or just gets sold.

I've still got my PC-FX for that magical day I see an original Zeroigar for a decent price. It's probably not even that good of a game but I've had the PC-FX for nearly a decade at this point  |

I don't have similar. I have an identical tale. Bought a Jag for Tempest 2000. I do have a handful of other games (including AvP), but it's almost exclusively been used as a T2K machine, the cart has been in the slot for years. In retrospect that's possibly not good for it, it's probably rusted together by now. I didn't sell mine though. I wouldn't mind, but I have Tempest 2K for PC, as well as Tempest X3 for PS1, yet I always go back to the Jag one. |

I only bought 3DO for Super Street Fighter II Turbo and kept it for just that one game until Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection came out for Switch.
I only bought Sega Saturn for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and kept it for just that one game until Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection came out for PS3.
The only game I've ever owned for Xbox 360 is Don King Prizefighter. Bought a 360 just for that one game since it never came out for PS3.

Yes, I had Super Turbo on the 3DO and it was an amazing arcade port for the time, one that the SNES wouldn't be getting. The only thing I disliked was that the standard 3DO pad was terrible to play it with. You needed both shoulder buttons and one of the central (inconveniently located) menu buttons to play with the proper 6-button setup. Still, the arranged CD quality soundtrack was incredible and is my favourite version by far. So glad it is included in Hyper SFII, even though many don't realise it debuted on the 3DO all those years ago. |

So glad it is included in Hyper SFII, even though many don't realise it debuted on the 3DO all those years ago. I'm a Ryu player and on SNES I always set the shoulder buttons as my medium strikes (L for punch, R for kick). Medium punch is the button I use the least, almost never at all. Yes, 3DO pad even less ideal than SNES pad, but it was manageable for me. L as light punch, start as medium punch and R as hard punch. Three face buttons as the three kicks. Actually worked pretty well for me since I rarely need medium punch. So as weird as it seemed on the surface, in practice the 3DO controller worked just fine for me. With that said, now that I have Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and tournament fightsticks, I could just never go back to playing on 3DO, so I sold the system along with Super Turbo. |

I kept my OG Xbox just to play Panzer Dragoon Orta. The rest of the games went in the enormous bundle I sent to Chillout Games in my Big Reset/Catharsis Clearout episode, back in about 2014 when I stripped-back my entire collection to Saturn-only status 😢. Lol the courier must've hated my guts that day 😀
I've built the collection back up (sort of), but only buy games I'm going to play nowadays. No more hoovering up everything I see for a machine, no matter how cheap it may be.

I've kept my Sony PSP primarily for one game. Dungeon Maker. Played that more than any other handheld game that I've owned. Good mix of level designing and editing (since your tasked to build a dungeon to entice demons into it, which you then battle) and JRPG. Didn't even know there was a Nintendo DS port until long after, which is vastly inferior due to ditching the 3D in favour of 2D (top down), the action RPG battles switched to traditional separate screen turn based battles (ala Final Fantasy style), and they got rid of all the mature content in favour of a more kid friendly style. Yeah no thanks. Compare:  To:  I rest my case there  . Anyway, the PSP original is excellent. Complete hidden gem, as I've never heard anyone talk about it. |

Don't think I've come across Dungeon Maker before. I dug my PSP out of storage and charged it for the first time in a couple of years just this week, so I'll need to give that a go.

I think I own it but can't be sure as I have about 200 PSP games but it looks familiar |

Worth a play. Especially if your into making levels for games, as it has that angle. Plus the better designed the dungeon is, the better the demons that will flock to it.

I did not do what is asked about in the topic, but I did a maybe even more odd thing.
I sold a console but kept JUST one game.
When me and my brothers sold our Atari 2600 (to get a Colecovisiob, for the record), I insisted to keep the game Phoenix.
I was about 10 years old, and that was I think the first game that I had bought myself with my own pocket money.
I did not even think of Coleco expansion module to use the vcs cartridges (which on the end we never bought).
It just meant to me.
