Thought it would be nice to have a topic where site-members can post what platforms/games they're the most knowledgeable about/have the most experience & expertise in...
For myself, my "top 3" would be the Playstation 1, 2, and 3.
After that, my 'runner-ups" (which would all be a tie) would be Game-Cube, PSP, and Nintendo DS.
I thought that this would be a good topic/good thing to know since, for example, say that I came across some games for sale for the NES or Genesis (which I'm not at all experienced in/knowledgeable about)...I'd easily be able to quickly find/pm the most appropriate people here for help w/ value, versions, recognizing an imitation, etc.
And on the other side, anyone w/ questions about Sony consoles & games would know that I might be able to help them out w/ something or answer a question for them.
-
Interesting thread. Maybe you can make a list in your post listing everyone's areas as they post so then you don't need to search every post.
For me it's the Xbox 360, I fairly knowledgeable with the limited systems and more so with the games.
-
Well, mine is a bit more specific. My main spot would be PS1 RPGs. Ive spent a long time collecting them and know a fair share about them. I also know NES and, of course, Dragon warrior/quest stuff. :) I did spend quite a bit of time on SMS as well.
-
I know the DS pretty well. Even though I grew up in the age of SNES (which I can hold my own in too), the DS has been my favorite system for a while now, and it seems like we can't go into a used game store without me walking out with a DS game and Ronalopolis complaining with "I've never even HEARD of *insert game here*. Are you sure you don't just go in there and find the strangest titles and pretend you want them?" (For those new to the site, Ronalopolis barely posts, but he's my hubby.)
Besides DS and SNES, my strongest area of expertise is probably developers/publishers. For example, if you mention Atlus, I can probably name games you've never heard of that Atlus has developed/published, name which ones are rare, and give you approximate prices. Same goes for 5th Cell, Level-5, Natsume, The Behemoth, XSEED, Cing, Zeboyd, and many, many more, as well as the big names like TECMO, Marvelous, Square Enix, etc.
Story: At PAX, I saw this guy in a Skylanders sweatshirt. I thought maybe I could buy one for myself, so I walked up to him and asked where he got it. He responded that he works for the company that developed the 3DS version. When, without skipping a beat, I asked him how it's like working for Vicarious Visions, he just stared at me. Guess he didn't expect me to know that off the top of my head. :P
-
My top 3 are probably SNES, PS1 and PS2.
I can hold my own when it comes to the GBA as well, but there are sooo many titles that I get a little lost from time to time. Luckily, much like the DS, most of the items I don't know too much about are shovelware.
I like to collect for, but know virtually nothing about, anything Sega related.
-
I like how some of you have been more specific than I was.
So, to be more specific & clarify...99% of what I know about my above-mentioned systems is for that system's RPG's.
Also, I've gotten pretty good w/ which ones of those rpg's have guides (or more than 1 version of a guide) & somewhat decent w/ the rarity & values of said guides.
I like the idea of one post listing everyone's 'specialties', too.
I think I'll wait until just about everyone's posted (that's gonna' post) and compile a list to that effect.
-
Xbox, Xbox 360, and RPGs. Football in there too.
Should add I have several XBMC Xboxes. I am pretty savvy with configuration and scripting.
-
I repair, restore and mod old stuff. If that counts?
-
I'm very experienced in buying selling diagnosing and restoring pinball machines. If anyone should have a question or be in the market for a machine, don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Also fairly knowledgeable about Neo Geo, both home and arcade units. Not a pro, just a huge fan.
-
I'd say my strong areas would be Saturn and Game Boy. I have a fairly large game collection for both systems and have done a bunch of research into both of them. Though I know hardly anything when it comes to the hardware and when it comes to the GBC my knowledge fails miserably.
I have pretty good knowledge on Game Boy accessories though.
I built my own name arcade machine too. So I have a lot of know how on how to work name, hiding window xp and using custom interfaces. As well as where to get arcade parts and joysticks.
As far as genres are concerned. I'd say I am pretty good with arcade, xbla, and other console shmups. But I know nothing about games on systems I don't own.
I'm also pretty knowledgeable when it come to Castlevania, its games, mythos and most variations/ releases.

I'll trade you one Mario Bros wide body in um...project condition...for an awesome 1990s pinball machine. You'll have to figure out a delivery system though, as my car is not suited for such endeavors.
-
PS2 and Dreamcast for sure. I also know quite a bit about specific franchises, such as Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, and Dead or Alive.
-
Anything Final Fantasy really. I've done my fair bit of research, have searched ebay thousands of times for obscure items and such.
-
For many years it was NES / SNES, but once I got a PC... well, that sorta became my area. Especially once I started working at another site I no longer work at. :p
That is not to say I don't like consoles, but for years it was much cheaper for me to stay a PC guy.
-

I have pretty good knowledge on Game Boy accessories though.
We should really compare notes sometime then. I know a ton about handheld hardware, especially what special editions exist and what countries/stores/areas they were restricted to. I really need to put a picture of my game boys up; it's become more impressive since I got the Manchester United GB (Only sold at the stadium in England). Never even thought to list all that among my expertise.

Cool...you may be able to help me clear something up then :P
As I was adding the PS1 versions of LUNAR: SSSC & LUNAR 2: EB...I noticed that my version of the 1st one was the "Armen Madirossian" Fan art version.
Now, I remember hearing (iirc) that there were 4(?) different Fan art versions of that game released.
Can you confirm/clear this up?
Also, would each Fan art version have a different SLUS # and Barcode #?
-

-
http://www.lunar-net.com/sssc/armen.php
Thanks.
I actually found another (more-detailed) listing for it on Game Rave.
Apparently, my copy has the exact same SLUS # (...just with a "D" added to the end of it).
I wasn't able to find any 'comparison values' of the "regular" edition vs the "fan art" edition...do you have any idea?
-
I wouldn't call myself and expert, but my strongest suit is anything NES related. Let me say, most of my knowledge is about the games and accessories. I don't know much about history, wiring, or technical stuff.
-
My most knowledgeable systems are the NES (which I no longer collect for) and the Saturn, expanding into imports. I've also done entirely too much research on Castlevania, Working Designs and anything Shining Force.
-
for me
tycoon games
rare And obscure computers and consoles

There are not any different price values for the different pictures on the disks (Just like the Magic Knight Rayearth for Saturn can have the image of any of the 3 girls on it).
-

Yeah...that's what I would have guessed.
-
I know a lot about the overall history of games. The only systems I know a lot about though are the Nintendo systems and Atari 2600. As far as series go I know a lot about Pac-Man and Zelda.

Some do have different values, for example Albert Odyssey. The Disc with Gryzz only tends to fetch about $20 more that the group art version
-
I know that the various disc variants for Dragon Force also snag different values. I believe the moat pricey of the 4 is the one featuring the dragon on it.
-
Specialization? Probably NES... Not very original :P
I'd say I don't exactly have a specialization, I just know random stuff about many systems as long as it's not retro computers. I'll say it's not too hard to find games I'm not aware of on almost any given system.
I've also been studying various aspects of gaming history... for the lulz.

I might trade you a boxed copy of PIN*BOT for NES for your Mario Bros. machine as it sits now ;) No but seriously....you aren't getting one of my pins :) But I can certainly help you find one, and restore it! For a nominal fee of course...my expertise can't possibly come for free :)

Actually, I didn't even know (or ever hear about the variants) when I got the game a long time ago...this just happened to be the one that I bought...I wouldn't have known one version from another then anyhow.
-
NES, SMS and TG16...
I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of only these 3!
-
I don't really have a particular area of expertise. I tend to know a whole lot about nothin', or nothin' about a whole lot; your pick. ;D I've learned quite a bit about arcade machines from tinkering here and there. Finally got a pinball to start tinkering with. Outside of game-related stuff I have a bunch of experience with audio and video systems. Been working on learning a bit about lighting now.
Darko,
If you're interested in getting a pinball, I'd recommend dropping by the OK Coin-Op Collectors forum. Might want to hit up Arcade Sales and Rentals or Jimmy from Metro Pinball and Video, they could help you track one down and even troubleshoot a bit. And there's plenty of people on there that are local or semi-local that has had a lot of repair experience. Worth checking out.
-
As far as games go RPGs I have played way too many of them and my skills at the rest have seriously deteriorated.
I maintain all my consoles myself so I am fairly knowlegeble in that, except that darned Intellivision.
-
I know a lot about the overall history of games. The only systems I know a lot about though are the Nintendo systems and Atari 2600. As far as series go I know a lot about Pac-Man and Zelda.
I would just like to update this and say that I just received my degree in "I have not played a whole lot of Wizardry games, but I spend way too much time on the Internet reading about them and I could probably give you more information then you want to know about Japan Wizardry spinoffs!" So if you want to know anything Wizardry that is not story related (Been avoiding spoilers as I plan to play through the series) I could help you out.
-
I'll update also and say that I have realized that I don't know as much about the Saturn as I thought. I do know a good bit, but only pertaining to US releases. I have some experience with various cards for it too though and will always point potential importers toward the Action Replay 4M Plus over anything else.
I still have a good bit of knowledge about the Game Boy, but I have a lot to learn yet.
I'm still a hobby Mame builder, so I'm good with helping with that stuff. Currently waiting on funds so I can finish my 3rd one.
Still this: I'm also pretty knowledgeable when it come to Castlevania, its games, mythos and most variations/ releases.
And I'm fairly good with shmups for the 360.
I'm also good with the Metal Gear series, I've played everything and read up on a lot of things too. Same goes for the Assassin's Creed series, except I didn't finish the last 3 games (need to do that). And I'm pretty solid on the .hack series, everything from the games, books and anime.
-
Ill update mine as well. Ill still claim PS1 RPGs and DQ stuff. Ive spent a lot of time lately dealing in SMS though and am pretty knowledgeable now on it as well.
-
General gaming history. I've read a bit on the subject and watched a lot of documentaries. My Swag - Print Category of my collection on the site shows a few I've read that I still have. Stuff like The Electronic History of Gaming (HIGHLY recommended), The Ultimate History of Gaming, and others. I've always been fascinated with the tumultuous history of gaming.
I'm probably also the go-to guy here on the site for Marvel and DC Comics stuff, I'd imagine. I've been reading them since I can remember. I've amassed quite the collection over the years and still make it to the local comic shop every Wednesday for new issues. I'm also pretty active in the online comic community.
Also, WWE and WCW history. I watch the hell out of those WWE documentaries and old DVD collections. And have actively watched wrestling for years (although I've tapered off my WWE viewing the last few years and instead watched more TNA).

Have/are you playing the PS2 Wizardry game(s)?
I've played & loved Tale of the Forsaken Land -but- if you're also playing the JP only ones...I'd LOVE to hear what you have to say about its sequel ("Busin")...
-
For me it's anything Atari and also the Tandy Color Computer, or Coco, as it's known by it's fans. I know there's a few of us who collect for it who come here but I don't think there's many of us. It's not nearly as popular as the Atari or Commodore machines but I grew up with it and love it and the games on it.
-
I'd say mainly Xbox 360, that's the system I've played on the most.
-
PS2, Dreamcast, and Gamecube
I have collected the most hardcore for these three consoles, and have played a ton of games on them (import and domestic).
-
My thing is handhelds with changeable media. I have a few of those ;D
-
My specialization is knowing the hottest chicks in 16-bit graphics. I wrote my dissertation on it. Artemis from Phelios, we salute you.

I have not played the PS2 game, the main problem I am having is that I want to build a perfect party in Wizardry 1 so I can transfer it through the first two games, but the grinding is taking forever. I have put it on hold until baseball season starts so I can level grind on the side for three to four hours every day. After that I will be going through the series a lot faster and hope to reach Tales of the Forsaken Land by the end of the year. If you are interested you can actually play through the Japan sequel by following this guide (http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/918608-busin-0-wizardry-alternative-neo/faqs/27334). As far as I am aware no fan translations have been done for this game, but there are a few listed here (http://www.romhacking.net/?page=translations&genre=&platform=&status=&languageid=12&perpage=20&title=wizardry&author=&transsearch=Go) for other games. Some of the Japan remakes of the original games can be near fully translated to English through menu options such as Wizardry Llylgamyn Saga. I find it fascinating how much Japan loves the Wizardry series. Just look at the Japan list on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizardry) compared to the US games!

Thanks for the link to the FAQ!
Problem is: I don't have the game -and- iirc, the PS2's not region-free; is it?
You also gonna' play Labyrinth of Lost Souls?

I don't think it is region free. For my Japan PS1 Wizardry games I was able to run them on my laptop with a PS1 emulator so you could try that. I played the demo on mobile and enjoyed it, but would rather own it on console. I will definitely pick it up when the PS3's become dirt cheap. Labyrinth of the Lost Souls also had some Japan only sequels!
-
wow, sense I collect pretty much all video games, I guess you can ask me most anything?
If I had to pick subjects I don't know a ton on is LCD games (like game & watch or Tiger) I never really got into those.
I can't get all technical on ya, like "my game system died, how do i fix it?" I can give you an idea whats wrong, but cant tell you how to exactly what you need to do unless its a common issue and I have fixed it myself. but if you want me to help mod your XBox I really couldn't tell ya. lol
I don't collect a lot of video game memorabilia, like statues, posters, cardboard cutouts etc. I only buy this stuff if i find it cheap and I really like it. I have many cool things the game companies sent me over the years I reviewed games. But I honestly couldn't tell whats rare or worth money. :P
Arcade cabinets or pinball machines, while I always thought these where cool and would love to own many of them, but due to price, space and constant upkeep I don't collect these. So I really couldn't tell you what a good price is on one.
Last, while I have many Japanese and European game consoles, I've only been into imports in the last five years. I can tell you from experience on the consoles/games i own but if you asked me "what is a going price on a pokemon japanese version game?" I'd honestly would have to look it up. I usually like to hunt for games that where never released in the states.
But if you have any questions on import consoles, those I do have a lot of knowledge on.
I've been a video game collector for over 25 years, I collected games before it was cool.

Who did you used to write reviews for?
AND...Ya' can't fool us, buddy - we all KNOW that your 'specialization' is in "Non-Stop, 24/7 Game-Buying ;)
-
Oh yeah, one more thing to add to my resume : Skylanders. I have dealt with Skylanders for months now and am pretty knowledgeable on them. :)
-
I'd say mine "expertise" is 2D and 3D fighters and SNK
-
I'd say I know a whole lot about Pokémon besides the intense breeding and EV/IV training. I don't know if I can call myself a "Nintendo DS expert" yet, but I do know that it's my favourite system and that it's the one I have the most games for, so I guess I know an acceptable level. :)
-
well In a non video game world i would say i am a Chicago expert, in video game land I would say my specializations would be the NES since that is what I grew up with, and recently I have been collecting a lot of Famicom/famicom Disk System stuff.
-
I'm not exactly sure If I have any specific expertises in games... I have a little bit of knowledge in a little bit of everything but nothing extensive.

Pokemon Breeding & EV/IV Breeding is very easy.
-
My specializations would have to be Nintendo consoles, since that's what I'm most familiar with and the area which I follow and have the most info compared to other consoles in my collection. I'm also fairly focused on shmups, and although I don't have the optimal library for that stuff yet, I have a lot of information that I've picked over from the few games I have... for now.
-
I seem to have the golden touch at cleaning up and fixing old systems.
Systems I've restored / enhanced include:
ColecoVision (would not power on or display a video signal. I ended up rebuilding the power supply)
NES (installed a USB CopyNES so I can hook it into my PC and Debug games)
TG-16 (wireless AV mod)
XBox Original (replaced faulty DVD drive, upgraded hard-drive, and more...)
GameBoy Advance (Replaced broken screen)
PS3 (Replaced power supply, cpu fan, applied new thermal paste) all to prevent the inevitable YLOD.
Replaced countless Gameboy cart save batteries.
I'm certainly not an electronics expert but I have a soldering iron, voltage tester, and the ability to troubleshoot and follow directions pretty damn well.
I also usually document some of the more complicated stuff I do partly as a service to others but mostly so I don't forget how/what I did.
If you've got a system you've lost all hope on I might be able to help. I'm also willing to trade repair services for stuff in my wishlist. :)
