The collection thread! *No pic, no post*

As for the consoles gathering dust, it is very very sad.
I have to get into the gamesroom and do a wholesale clean out of dust and dirt.
Of course this will also include the forcible eviction of many spiders from the vents of the Saturn and DC, the PS and Xbox, go now, find some other consoles to squat in, little feckers!

Actually, I lifted the 3DO a couple of months ago to free up the controller cable, to better play the fine game Return Fire, when I was surprised at a spider the size of a Volkswagen scuttling underneath.
I then heard a voice, a bit like John Coffey in The Green Mile, saying, "Please put the 3DO down, there's nothing else to see here", at which point I left him alone.
Haven't played with it since, I'm not pissing that thing off again!

This is my Nintendo 64 collection and my SNES collection in more simpler and poorer times. I have mint-condition boxed games of Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Majora's Mask (Zelda: Ocarina of Time is in it for a strange reason) at my Dad's.

And there are a few other games on various systems I just threw in there because they're with me at the moment, including the awesome PS2 version of MGS2: Substance and MGS3: Subsistence, and Twin Snakes but also have another non-platinum copy of the game.

retrOgamer, that is an incredible amount of stuff, Id be afraid to wake up at night to go to the toilet in case i bumped into something and it all came crashing down, amazing collection:)

MvsC3

Also o1s1n, an incredible collection, what is the yellow and black handheld in the bottom left of the picture? I have only added a few more Master System and boxed snes games since my pics were last posted under KKV's name.

is that Atari porn?

Nintendo porn, Should probably get a better pic at some stage. Have added Super Paper Mario since this was taken.

CiDeRmAn

Batari, I had no clue you were such an Atari fan, it really comes as a complete surprise!
I would find somewhere better to store them, it's only a matter of time before some muppet stands on them, thinking it's some sort of retro themed floor mat!

Also, was it an expensive collection to put together?
What are the priciest carts? What did you pick up for feck all?

batari

Thanx CiDeR, don't have a games room like yourself yet, more of a games wardrobe at the minute!
Yea I'm getting to the stage where I'm looking more for the rarer PAL games now, I suppose the most I've paid would be between €10 - €15, on the likes of Ikari Warriors, Snoopy and the Red Baron, Motorodeo is one that doesn't come up on eBay too often and I actually bought that locally for next to nothing. Same with the Synthcart, got that locally and it's a Homebrew that sells on Atariage for around $25 I think. And the Spacevision games and Planet Atari Tennis and Centipede games I got in a bundle from Cork, they were found in a dump down there!
I suppose all the Homebrews I've bought from Atariage are the most expensive, all between $20 - $25 shipped.

Problem now is I recently picked up two NTSC Atari's, so do I now start collecting the NTSC versions??:pac:

o1s1n

If you are going to go NTSC, you'll have to buy Air Raid to complete your collection. Probably best to stick with PAL

jetblack1981

Is Ps2 game acceptable?
No joke, I must have the largest in Ireland.
And yep have Ico in rerelaese box and
shadow of collosis(sp?) in a blue box, as I have only the disk.

o1s1n

The largest collection in Ireland? I have to see this. How many ps2 games you got?

Atavan-Halen

I think everyone just has a glut of PS2 games though :P

jetblack1981

Ill do a count and get them ready for the pics.
Never counted, guess Ill have to do it now.

CiDeRmAn

Yeah, you're going to have to back up that boast up dude.
I have a nice collection of PS2 titles myself, so lets see the games man!
And a palette of Army Men games doesn't count!

landsleaving

Think I have close to 200 PS2 games after my blitz on all the shops getting rid of games cheaply and I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't even near the most of everyone here.

CiDeRmAn

Likewise, I'm up near the 200 mark, if I ever had enough memory cards to keep saves for all of them I'd, well, I'd have a lot of memory cards.....

o1s1n

Indeed. I don't really collect ps2 games and have about 100. You just accumulate them.

Retr0gamer

I don't collect them either and only buy the games I want to play. Got nearly 150 of them I'd say.

o1s1n

Does that include your ps2 harddrive and network adapter? :P

jetblack1981

164
Its not the largest but its still pretty large.
Pics coming up

Honestly there's not a lot I don't own. I had all the Shin Megami Tensei games on it but went out and bought them anyway and I have Rule of Rose and am looking for a copy. There's not much on it that I don't own and all of the ones I don't own I amin the process of looking for.

Except Front Mission 5. Squaresoft can got **** themselves if they think I'm paying for a game that's the best in a series I love that they didn't bother to localise.

CiDeRmAn

You know, you say that now, but if it somehow popped up on your radar, you'd buy it, like the game-crack addicted junkie you are!

True, if I came across it for 15 euros second hand I'd be on it quicker than Wayne Rooney on a geriatric hooker.

MvsC3

Dont collect PS2 games myself but have about 50 or so, looking through them, they are a lot of compilations, Capcom Classics collections, Taito Legends etc etc.. and one of my fave PS2 games Ridge Racer V:)

Get your coat and go, go now!

I just don't know why they think they can come in here, make provocative statements then sit back and watch us froth from orifices best left un-frothed!

It's almost as bad as that loser misguided chap who was making up videogames to freak out Retro! Remember that muppet misguided chap!

Retr0gamer

Aw yes, him. I kind of miss that twat. I sure bring out the worst in people for such a quiet shy chap.

In fairness, some of his game titles were quality. I don't lol often, but I loled for a good few of them..:pac:

o1s1n

It had to be an alternate account for someone here. I'm looking at YOU, augmerson ... >_>

Jack burton

Well ym ps2 collection is pretty bad, only about 40 games, I never got in there when they were being sold off cheap, likewise with the PS1, just need to go raid some attics I suppose

No FIFA?! FFS!

I don't see Rugby 2004 there either. If adverts is anything to go by every PS2 in Ireland must have come with a free copy of it. Even I'm stuck with one.
Any suggestions for alternate uses for the thing?

Retr0gamer

My concern is what's going to happen to all those copies of LMA manager that seem to clutter the PS2 second hand sections?

o1s1n

Fired off into the depths of space I hope.

landsleaving

I'm pretty sure after the apocalypse the shattered remnants of mankind will use copies of it as currency.

o1s1n

Speaking of which, has anyone started hoarding bottlecaps yet?

Retr0gamer

I'm banking on videogame cartridges and CD being a form of currency.

I did but i want to make a table top out them, it will be the most valuable piece of funrniture in the future, I'll live like a king!

No bottlecap collecting for me, I'm just collecting the parts to build a railway rifle. All your caps are belong to me then.

Loving all the boxed NGP games! Excellent stuff dude.

DickyC

Thanks for the positive replies.

Here are a few pictures of my gamecube stuff. I am still working on this one as I feel I am missing a couple of games I would like to play through.
