        Too late. ;-)
        Kefka is one of the most memorable villains in the Final Fantasy history or even in the whole jrpg culture ever. He looks a bit strange and he is completely insane megalomaniac, taking over the world (yeah sounds cliche). The game is Final Fantasy VI. :-)

            I'm expanding right now. I'm bit with the hoarder bug. You should see my gaming PC. Not only does it have all these, but also games that aren't playable on the Pi.

            Total: 17,854 (According to the "All Games" Filter).

            I actually have more I'm working on scraping and adding right now. I have a full Game&Watch collection, and a SegaCD collection I'm working on. I also have a full NintendoDS and PSP collection to go through. Only THEN can I relax and start deciding what I want next. I know I'd like to get some DOS games, and then work on some Dreamcast. A buddy of mine from work has some PCE-CD games I'd like to play. There's also stuff like Amiga and ZXSpectrum I have no experience with. And once I figure out how to make it work, I'm going to be adding a collection of Atari 800 and Atari ST games (the 2 systems I had growing up with) too.

            Who's Scruffy Looking?

                Wow, I thought I was excessive. I do try to keep it to things that are in English (although some of the really early stuff I don't worry as it really doesn't matter) but on my primary build I have:
                Atari 2600: 505
                Game & Watch: 59
                SG-1000: 83
                NES: 1031
                Atari 7800: 57
                Master System: 264
                TurboGrafx 16: 94
                Genesis: 763
                Game Boy: 609
                TurboGrafx CD: 45
                Lynx: 75
                NeoGeo: 137
                Game Gear: 257
                SNES: 780
                Sega CD: 113
                Sega 32X: 33
                Playstation 1: 1140
                Game Boy Color: 532
                NeoGeo Pocket Color: 42
                Game Boy Advance: 1017
                According to All Games collection: 7636

                I do also have both Sega & Nintendo exclusive builds but their collections are the same as their respective systems above. I think when I get moved I will finally start heavily into my Odroid build for Dreamcast, 64, NDS, PSP, etc and at some point I would like to add some MAME stuff or do an arcade standalone build. On my NAS I keep basically full ROM sets for everything I can find... the compulsion is kind of ridiculous.

                  I don't see the point of this. Scrolling through that many games isn't fun. Take the gamecube for instance, out of the 600 games released, there are only say bout 5 or 6 that are playable.

                  Wait, what? 5 or 6 playable games on the GC? Er no!

                  However I do agree that having too many on the Pi is a pain. I've tried to hand curate my collection down to a more reasonable 64GB, and personally I think that's a good limit for the Pi. Any more and it's overkill for me, plus it slows Emulationstation down too. I'm currently trying to manually curate my MAME collection and it is proving hard work, but it has to be done. There are too many obscure puzzle games and mahjong games, clones and many other games that don't work and will never work on the Pi. They have to go. I've got it down to about 1700 right now and I think I'm nearly done. Hope I am anyway! Be nice to just download a finished set but everywhere you look it's complete set or nothing.

                  I do support the idea of going much further with a more focused setup, say a few dozen titles for each system comprised of games that you know you'll want to play, but I do like the discover-ability of having a nice large MAME set. Like for example, this morning in fact I discovered a marvellous 1983 game I'd never played or even heard of before and it is truly superb - Blaster. Rather than feeling like a retro game it plays more like a modern take on a retro game. Absolutely superb gameplay, and without a good set I would never have found it.
