For the most part, no. Out of all the ROMS I have for the console emulators listed on my homepage, I'd say about 98% of them are for games that I owned/still own. I pretty much bought every game that interested me for each system I owned, going all the way back to the 2600 (back when the parents paid for the games), through to the N64. Even JPN games for PC-Engine, MegaDrive, and SFC, back when buying imports wasn't as common a thing to do.

I haven't bothered downloading the "complete sets" for anything, as I usually had a good reason for not buying a game when it came out (IOW, crap game). Off the top of my head, about the only one's I have now that I didn't have before are and FDS stuff, Dracula X (PCE), and Castlevania and Gradius 94 for X68000.

I haven't gotten into anything MSX or Amiga, or other systems I didn't own, except for the two games above.

On this same note, I feel no "extra joy" in playing pre-PSX console ports of arcade games, unless the console version had significantly different or additional gameplay compared to the arcade version.
