Anyone have any unusual sub-collections?

[blipcs76]

I'm curious if anyone around here collects anything bizarre or not-the-norm.  For example, I can think of 3 odd gaming-related sub-collections I'm building:

- Arcade marquees
I've got about 10 arcade marquees, which are really nice decorations for my game 'room.'

- Video game movies
Slowly, I've been collecting every video game based movie I've found on the cheap.  The worse they are, the better; awful stuff like Super Mario Bros. and House of the Dead.

- Video game board games
Only three in my collection so far (Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Zaxxon), but there weren't that many actually produced.

Bad games, game movies, game soundtracks.

That's about it.

I still pick-up VHS and Cassette tapes at Goodwill, because their dirt cheap and I still have a working VCR and cassette player.

I tend to collect Strategy guides, but usually only for games I own. I do have a goal of getting all the Castlevania guides, but it's hard finding info on which ones had them and which ones didn't.

I also have a good selection of Video game related Action figures.

I have a shit-ton of strategy guides and Nintendo Powers. What I. Really like to find is the Nintendo Power strategy guides.

you know SMB is not all that bad of a movie, if you ignore the super mario references you will get a mediocre sci-fi with some vary cheesy dialogue.


i'm trying to collect weird some what video game related items like that space invaders LP but that thing is rare

I really want to collect Famicom handbills. I just got my first one a few weeks ago. Some are pretty expensive, so I have to take my time.

So you have Crystalis on NES, and Crystalis on Game Boy. Is there other Crystalis stuff I'm not aware of?

There's a strategy guide, isn't there?

There are also Japanese / European versions of the games (well, the NES one).

Strategy guides were more often found in Nintendo Power or Tips and Tricks Magazine back then. I'm not sure if it had a strategy guide, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.

I could've sworn I read that this game had a standalone strategy guide but maybe I'm confusing it with something else.
