Video Game Collectors Thread: pickups, trades, WTBs, collection pics, etc. 1 1

[october]

There seem to be a lot of video game collectors on here, so I thought I would start a thread where we can show our collections, talk about stuff, trade and share our latest pickups.

 

Here's some of my collection. I mostly go after VF to NM complete in box NES, SNES, Genesis and Neo Geo games. I collect a little bit of PS1 and X-Box as well, but not much.

 

Just in case anyone has any that they might part with, currently looking for complete in box in nice shape:

 

NES:

Contra

Mega Man 3

Ninja Gaiden 3

 

SNES:

Mega Man X

Wild Guns

Ninja Warriors

Space Megaforce

Final Fight 1, 2

Dracula X

 

Genesis:

Punisher

Here's some stuff for trade (or for sale) if anyone sees something they need.

Effin' awesome, man...some nostalgia there!

[manetteska]

Nice games (and foot)!

 

FF II (IV) -- very awesome.

 

Earthbound?

Earthbound?

 

No Earthbound (yet). That thing is pricey complete in box!

 

Never played it as a kid, but I have heard it is awesome.

I have a working vectrex with several games if anyone is interested. I think I also have an extra controller as well. PM with questions.

I missed Earthbound, too. My friend got me into RPGs with FF III (VI) and then I went back and played II (IV). Played Mystic Quest, but somehow missed Earthbound.

 

Been trying to find a good (i.e. not on the computer) way to play it since then. Will have to see how easy/difficult it is to setup on the Wii.

This thread is for me too! I will get some pics up. Did a trdade with october and yes, hsi collection is great.

 

I have MM3 IB but unlikely to meet your standards. I need that Zombies and Ninja Gaiden.

I noticed that Chrono Trigger is conspicuously missing from your list. If you've missed that, you should play that before Earthbound, it is one of the best RPG's ever and the best SNES RPG.

I like playing on the original hardware, but emulators are great for some games....like Final Fantasy 1. I remember having to drag myself out of dungeons to save, which would take forever. That "save state" on my NES emulator came in handy.

 

If any of you are into vintage computer games, check out Good Old Game (GOG.com). They have updated a ton of old stuff to work on current OSs. I've been playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Castles 2, Lords of the Realm 2, and a bunch of other ones I loved as a kid.

I have a copy (it's in the pics somewhere) and it is indeed a great game.

Being into comics, I remember playing a cheesey Nintendo Superman game for NES. Not the Death and Return one, the one before. I remember him spinning around to go subterranean. Good times. I also remember getting Metriod for NES and thought what a great game that was with all of the hidden rooms with the awesome weapons.

 

The game that really blew me away was FF1. I couldn't figure out how to play the damn thing for about a day and then it clicked. It was groundbreaking for me.

I played that one, too. And its "sequel" on PlayStation. Also played Secret of Evermore and Mana.

 

And Ogre Battle! I don't think I have ever finished that game, but I clearly remember playing it dozens of times, with fond memories of scouting the forest for Ghosts and Skeletons to recruit.

 

Playing Natural Doctrine right now for PS4.

Chrono Trigger was the one with the dog sidekick, wasn't it?

To anyone that hasn't watched Angry Video Game Nerd on Youtube you are missing out. He plays and beetches about a lot of older stuff. I think I've probably watched them all twice over, and I haven't played games (outside of Resident Evil) in years.

My boxed games. More nes centric and not as elite. I need a better storage/display solution. Too much stuff.

 

I had no intention of getting into snes boxes aside from zelda but... here we are...

Might as well throw up a WTB too, mine is fairly easy.

 

I'm interested in anything Phantasy Star Online related, especially if it's Dreamcast related. I have all the game releases and such, most of the applicable magazines, the keyboard, but if anyone has like retail posters (not from magazines) are minty-in box related items I don't know about I'd be interested.

 

Also interested in Final Fantasy 7 oddities, specifically promo items. Like I recently bought a gigantic banner Best Buy had from the 90's advertising it in the store, not interested in products that were actually for sale.

 

I have a LOT of the Dreamcast (in general not just PSO specific) items already but if somebody has vintage promo posters for games or retail standees etc, I'd be interested as well.

Nice display and collection.

 

Game collections are hard to display without them looking like a bunch of clutter. That looks really sharp.

Plus no DRM. You buy the game, and it's yours.
