Title: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: jcalder8 on February 20, 2012, 10:15:43 pm
I love the badges on the site but I thought a thread could be fun too so my first achievement is:

I just passed 150 DS Games! I actually had this as a goal for this year I just did not expect it to happen so quickly.

I have just passed the 50% point for a complete North American Final Fantasy Collection :D (and I have a fair share of Japanese games too)

I believe I have every Nintendo branded accessory for the original Game Boy, minus some of the carrying cases, most CIB. Also, I'm 1 game away from having a complete North American Castlevania collection (Not counting Multi-platform releases, or box variants). Of the Castlevania collection, I'm 4 games away from having them all CIB too. :)

I just recently surpassed 700 unique North American NES games!

Just need about 50 more games or so to complete my collection! (Yup, and most are at least 50 bucks -_-)

Interesting collection. I myself am a pretty large FF fan (got a tattoo of the opening screen for FF7 and my kids are named after the game : Aeris is my daughter and my son's middle name is Barret.)

To stick with the topic, however, I have almost every NA rpg released for PS1 ... down to a few left.

Hmm...this topic is making me think I need to set some goals! I don't really have any to speak of. I recently completed a small goal to get a complete GBA FF set. Not that big of a deal though!
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: foxhack on February 22, 2012, 05:57:56 pm
Well...

All my GBA games are complete in box? Except for Arcade Advanced, I seem to have misplaced the cart for that one.
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: darko on February 22, 2012, 06:55:29 pm
OH...I thought of one. I have all my GBA games that are NOT complete in custom cases! Sounds stupid but they look great!

What do you think of the DQM games?  I rented it but wasn't in the Pokemon state of mind (haven't been for a few years actually) and wasn't able to get into it.
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: scott on March 08, 2012, 02:46:05 pm
@desocietas I've not played them yet. I've been wanting to get them though. I kinda want to start with the 1st one though, rather than jump in with Joker.

I'm working on building up an Armored Core collection. Which I guess would include other From Software mech games.

At the moment I've got AC2, AC3, Silent Line, Nexus, Last Raven, For Answer and ACV - leaving AC1, Another Age, Nine Breaker, Formula Front and AC4 and Chromehounds before I have to start branching out to other regions (Project Phantasma, Master of Arena, Metal Wolf Chaos, maybe even Steel Battalion some day).

Actually come to think of it, my SMT collection is pretty sizable too.. all the PAL games except for P3 vanilla and P2IS, but I do have the DDS2 Collector's Edition, and I have MT1 (boxed, with manual), MT2, SMT1 and SMT2 (boxed, with tray).

Im down to 1 stupid DW IV box missing from my full DQ/DW collection. And I believe that over the weekend I passed the 50% mark of total NES carts. Glad that 3 of those happen to be battletoads/DD, Duck Tales 2, and TMNT tournament fighter.

Thanks everyone.  Now that my collection has reached this point, I'm starting to find it hard to find room to display them all.  I refuse to stash them away in bins or boxes.

I need to finish up my game room, then I'll have room to expand my collection without concern.

I have the same issue. I've basically had to stop buying guides unless I find one that I've actively been searching for. I think I'm going to have to go through and box some of my stuff up (NES sports games, etc). I hate to do it but it's amazing how much space this stuff takes up.

This is why I buy storage whenever I find it. I could add another 400 games and still have some room left over. Of course this does mean that I am taking up room with empty storage.

If I could just give myself a good reason to buy Devil Survivor: Overclocked, I'd own every NA release of the Shin Megami Tensei series.

...Unless DemiKids counts (I can't remember), then I have to find the Dark Version of that, as well.  xp

- just out of curiosity, how many (NA SMT) games does that total?
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: amauriel on May 27, 2012, 03:19:11 pm
I've been working on that myself (All the Shin Megami games) and I had completely forgotten about DemiKids!

A friend of mine loved those games but I've never played them. He says I'd like 'em.
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: gaiages on May 27, 2012, 07:18:17 pm
- just out of curiosity, how many (NA SMT) games does that total?

Let's see, the complete list is:

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (DS)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 (DS)
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (DS)
Revelations: Persona (PS1)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (PSP)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin (PSP)
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PS1)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (PSP)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)
DemiKids: Light Version (GBA)
DemiKids: Dark Version (GBA)

...Whew!  I think that's it, and the italics are the ones I'm missing... Also of note is that I have the Special editions of the original Persona 3 and Devil Summoner 2, and not the special version of Digital Devil Saga.

EDIT:  There is also Revalations: The Demon Slayer, a Game Boy Color game.  It's a little hard to tell if it counts, since in Japan it's called Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible... which may not make it a Shin Megami Tensei game, since it came out before the first SMT game.  That's up to you guys if you think I should add it... I'm going to grab it soon anyway, just for the sake of it.  xD
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: amauriel on May 27, 2012, 09:27:35 pm
Yeah, I want the Last Bible games, just because they sound awesome. I speak enough Japanese that I'm planning on getting the 5 games from Japan, rather than just getting Revelations: The Demon Slayer (Or maybe I'll get that from here, then get the spin-offs only in Japanese.)

I've been working on getting the ones that were released here, then any ones that did not make the trip over, I'm getting in Japanese. (Not bothering with the Japanese compilations or remakes of their games unless something major changed though.) Also, I've so far only been working on the main series, haven't done things like the Devil Children or Maijin Tensei games yet.

I dunno, I've got A LOT of games still on my "need" list, whereas you are wrapping yours up. Gonna get Jack Bros.? (My personal can't find, don't wanna pay eBay prices, Holy Grail game.)

Ah geez, I haven't even heard of Jack Bros. until now.  I... well, want to get it, of course, but I have a feeling I won't be able to bring myself to buy a Virtual Boy game.  xD  Especially since it likely is a premium price, too...

Good luck with getting the Japanese games, though.  I don't know a lick of Japanese, so I'm not going to try and collect the ones that didn't make it over.  It's nice for a collection, but with the English games I still want, it'd at least be a while before I set my eyes across the sea. :D

So what is your favorite NES game?
Favorite NES game that you have found through collecting?
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: soera on June 23, 2012, 11:16:20 am
I have a few NES games I like. Dragon warrior (obviously!) but Final fantasy, Ultima quest of the avatar, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Battle of Olympus, Bionic Commando are a few of the others.

As far as a "new" game I like I found through the collecting, there hasnt really been any. I heard some of the super expensive games are fun however but I havent gotten too many of the high dollar games yet.

One thing I have realized is that the NES has a much more vast library then I had ever known about before I started getting into the collecting of them. In Oklahoma during the NES time, the market was really limited. Never had I see any of the Panesian games or the Wisdom Tree games before. I never noticed the fact that there were probably dozens of toddler based (Sesame Street, Fisher Price, etc) and games like Barbie and stuff was never anything that would have been on my radar either.

There is a badge made up for database submissions, but Matt hasn't set it up yet. But this topic is more along the lines of milestones pertaining to your personal collection. Like, "I own every game in 'x' series" or "I just hit '#' of games for 'x' console" or "I finally own all the games I originally traded off stupidly, again".

Just hit 50 DS games. Might not seem like a lot, compared to others, but I'm happy with every game in my list. The 50th game was Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, which I've been looking for locally for awhile.

Yeah, I did a double-take when I saw the pricing on it :P

Also, I'm pretty damned familiar w/ my local Gamestop's stock of DS, PSP, GC, PS2, and PS3 games...and while I was ringing-up this sale, I even remarked to my friend who was working the register that I'd never seen this game here before (or ever expected to:)

He said it just came in the day before (can only imagine what they paid the poor person selling the game to them...probably...what...around 50 cents - Damned Thieves)...and had he seen it before I did...that, well...I never *would* have ever seen it  :o

...At least he didn't try to pull one of the 'trademarked' "Gamestop-Moves" of...
"Oh, I'm sorry sir...seems like we actually don't really have this one after all"
 >:(

I've seen it done before w/ good, rare, and valuable games when customers try to ring them up :(

Also, as a side-note:

I've seen a PSP game ("GS-New" (w/ just the adhesive sticker on it to show that it's "new"))

called "Hakuoki"...or something like that.

For (at least) the last month or 2, it's been sitting there w/ a $39.99 price tag on it...never heard of it XD!

Anyone know anything about it (as in great game, rare, valuable, small print-run, etc)?!

Just curious!

Thanks :)

$3.00 price-tag next to the name "ATLUS" = a no-brainer, even if I've *never* heard of it  ;)

Heh, I've played the other Summon Night games for the GBA, and they're good.  I have the DS one but haven't cracked it yet.

called "Hakuoki"...or something like that.

Hm, Metacritic says it's good.  Is it the LE or regular version?  Also, it being an Aksys game... I'd be tempted to get it just for collecting's sake.  Glancing at the reviews, just some info:
- NA release of a multi-platform series
- an anime based on the game series was made
- otome (geared towards female gamers) with "choose your adventure" sort of gameplay

Thank you, Descietas.

I looked into it a (very) little bit...and then had to look-up wth "otome" is/was :)

The game in question is the boxed-LE.

Just seemed like a pretty high price for a PSP game to be holding onto like that...

My biggest collection achievement is probably having more than 1000 games in total and on Steam I own around 920 if I remember correctly. A few months back I was the 77th biggest collector apart from the Valve employees.

My setted up achievements are now to own 500 PS2 games and finishing +100 of them.

I used to own the Suikoden 3 LE, but I sold it a few months ago - it looks more impressive from the outside than the Suikoden 4 LE but I thought the extras were pretty naff, alomst as if they just slung a few things together and hoped nobody would mind (and the bonus music CD was awful, a real disapppointment!).

Some of my biggest achievements in collectings:

1. Acquiring some of the rarer consoles like TurboGrafx-16, Sega Saturn, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Sega CD (and then having my Sega CD stop wanting to read discs  >:( )

And I know they aren't exactly rare, but they do go for a pretty penny: I also got Final Fantasy Anthology, Final Fantasy VIII & IX in a lot on eBay for only $15 complete! It was in the wrong category.

4. I own the entire Super Mario series up to Super Mario Galaxy:
-Super Mario Bros. 1-3 (NES)
-Super Mario World (SNES)
-Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)
-Super Mario Land 1-3 (Game Boy)
-Super Mario Advance 1-4 (GBA)
-Super Mario 64 (N64)
-Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube)
-New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
-Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Well, all of them except Super Mario Deluxe (GBC) and Classic Mario Bros. (NES). And I don't own a Wii U or 3DS, yet.
you don't have all of them yet

super mario bros. special for nec pc-8801 and sharp x1 (http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._Special)
super mario all stars 25th anniversary edition (http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_All-Stars_Limited_Edition)
super mario bros 2 japanese version (http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros.:_The_Lost_Levels)
vs super mario bro (http://www.mariowiki.com/Vs._Super_Mario_Bros.)

but then there are the rare ones that i dont expect anyone on the site to get

all night nippon super mario bros (http://www.mariowiki.com/All_Night_Nippon_Super_Mario_Bros.)
nintendo world championships

I don't import, because I don't know a lick of Japanese nor do I have a Famicom or any other Japanese system even if I could.  And I consider having the SNES version of All-Stars no different than the Wii version. It has the same games on it. I remember being quite disappointed that the Wii version had the same games. And I do have Lost Levels on my copy of All-Stars.

I pretty much never buy multiple copies of the same game, unless it's a handheld version of a console game or vice-versa. I figure why blow my money on a game I already own, when I could buy a game I don't own.

Never heard of Super Mario Bros. Special until now. But considering I'll likely never see those systems much less own one, I'll probably never get the opportunity to play it, unfortunately.

With the addition of 2 more should-be commons, I just reached 650 NES carts. My collection is coming along smoothly and I have a decent mix of games. Only about 100 left til Im complete but some of them will never find their way into my house unless the Almighty himself shines down some miracles (Stadium Events, Myraid 6-1, Cheetahmen II, Panesian trio, etc). Pretty happy though as I still have some cheap titles to add so its not going to be *that* bad to the end.

Post by: scott on February 19, 2013, 11:32:20 pm
With the arrival of Kid Dracula for Famicom. My Castlevania collection is now as complete as I want it to be. With one version of each North American console release, plus a handful of important Japanese titles! I don't think I'm going to go for variants. And I don't care about the old computer games. It's just too much money to toss at it. Plus I'm happy with the look and size of it at the moment.

Maybe one day I'll be able to add the arcade boards to it. But for the time being, I am all set on old releases that I want and can just pick up new games as they come out. There has to be a line drawn somewhere, and this is it. ha

Ya, its funny. You think of a series of games and then once you get them all next to each other, you realize just how many there are.

So...what's your total count (games only)?

How many/are there any that you didn't get and/or import?
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: scott on February 20, 2013, 11:06:31 am
My total count of Castlevania games? Or total collection count?

My total # of games for Castlevania is 49, including loose carts, my CIB copies and variants. I count 27 physical releases, and there a couple mobile phone/iOS games. As well as a few arcade games. And there are 2 new games coming this year, one for 3DS and one multiplatform for 360 and PS3.

I'll have to get back to you on what my total # of games in my whole game collection is.

I'm not sure what your second question is? There are a few old computer versions of Castlevania for Amiga and I think C64 and Tandy? But I'm not interested in finding them. I would like to eventually get a copy of Vampire Killer for MSX, but only if it was a good deal and CIB.

EDIT: I have 844 games in my full game collection.

_____ Castlevania games,

_____ Castlevania OST's,

_____ Castlevania art books, promos, swag, etc (and, I was even kinda' curious about the "break-down" of the games; as in)...

_____ Castlevania games on ___ platform A, ___ on platform B, ___ on platform C, etc.

It's generally sort-of moody orchestral sort of stuff, but exceptions abound. If you've really only heard a little of the Symphony of the Night soundtrack I strongly recommend listening to -

Dracula X Chronicles

Castlevania 64
Lament of Innocence
and the arrange album "Dracula New Classic"

That's a really nice Castlevania collection, Scott...how long would you say it took you from start to finish (just the Castlevania collection, again)?

I've always loved Castlevania games and have been playing them since the NES days. The 1st one I ever bought myself was Symphony of the Night -Greatest Hits, but I didn't start searching for them all until after I saw some info on Dawn of Sorrow and pre-ordered it. I loved that game as much as I did SotN and it planted the seed. Around that time I bought a NES from Matt with it all 3 NES games.

That was 2005 and I started collecting CIB disc based games and loose cart based games. I got in on games like Belmont's Revenge and Legends before the cart only version was spendy. And the same with Castlevania Chronicles, I think I only paid $15 for it and it's pretty mint. I actually got some pretty slick deals on my original collection and for awhile I was happy with it. I didn't start going for CIB everything until after we started up VGCollect and I saw forte and madmax's Mega Man and Final Fantasy collections... So about 2 years ago? So I guess I've been working on the Castlevania collection for 8 or so years? But it only took me 2 or so years to polish off the games I needed CIB.

So other games I would like to eventually add to the collection:

Vampire Killer (MSX2)
Haunted Castle (Arcade)
Castlevania - PlayChoice10 (Arcade)
VS. Castlevania (Arcade)
Castlevanie: The Arcade (Arcade)

Of course the arcade games would just be the boards. I wouldn't go for full cabs.

Some of my biggest achievements in collectings:

1. Acquiring some of the rarer consoles like TurboGrafx-16, Sega Saturn, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Sega CD (and then having my Sega CD stop wanting to read discs  >:( )

2. Some of my more rare games (nothing too special, though):
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)
-The Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection (PC)
-The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (Gamecube) - Not sure why exactly, but this one is expensive now.
-Mega Man: Legends (PS1)
-Parasite Eve (PS1)
-Radiant Historia (NDS) - Soon to be sold.
-Resident Evil 2: Dual-Shock Edition (PS1)
-Splatterhouse (TG-16)

3. I'm so very close to 500 games. Like only 3 titles to go.

4. I own the entire Super Mario series up to Super Mario Galaxy:
-Super Mario Bros. 1-3 (NES)
-Super Mario World (SNES)
-Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)
-Super Mario Land 1-3 (Game Boy)
-Super Mario Advance 1-4 (GBA)
-Super Mario 64 (N64)
-Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube)
-New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
-Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Well, all of them except Super Mario Deluxe (GBC) and Classic Mario Bros. (NES). And I don't own a Wii U or 3DS, yet.

I can now add Bucky O' Hare to my list of rarities.  8)

Loved that game as a kid, and didn't realize that it had gotten so high in value.

I just recently broke 700 NES titles (at 705). Considering how my game wall is set up, Im going to go for 10 more titles and be done (each row holds 65 games and 11 rows is 715 games). I am totally done with my Tengen releases, all 6 Mega man games, all 3 of : Ninja gaiden, Contra, Adv island, Lolo, all 4 AD&D titles and some other milestones. My last 10 games list is as follows : Bible buffet (last Wisdom tree title), Chip & Dale RR2 and Mighty final fight (final capcom games as well as last Disney game), Ultima Warriors of destiny (last of the 3 Ultima games) Linus Spacehead (last Aladdin title), Ultimate air combat (final Activision game) and then Jetsons, Cool world, Wacky races, and Wayne's world. Then my NES game wall will be complete.

Got a few other personal milestones that I am working on: My last 2 Gamecube Zelda titles are on the way to the house. Im 1 game from finishing my SMS display as well. Not sure where Im going to go collection wise from there. We shall see :)

Man, you're so close to a complete NES set. It would be tough for me to say "done". On that set, there are so many that are insane to get, you have to be satisfied. But I don't think I could be done that close to the end.

After the NES and the SMS collection, you should go Game Gear. It is a lonely road. Not many of us. But we are the collectors that can never live the button-down lifestyle of Nintendo and Sony collectors. No, we get it all. The terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure we might offend some of the bluenoses with our cocky strides and musky odors. Oh, we'll never be the darlings of the so-called "city fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and say "what ever will be done with this Sin2Beta".
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: soera on April 05, 2013, 11:15:47 pm
It would put me close enough to do that I would be happy with the collection. I dont really want to go for a full set the more I think about it cause if I really did get close, I wouldnt ever finish it with the thought of the Panesian trio, Stadium Events, Cheetahmen II, Racermate, Flintstones 2, Myriad and Caltron, Samson, etc. 10 games listed right there and it would probably set a person back 15k to get them. Just illogical. I havent paid over $100 for any game in my collection and dont plan to anytime soon.

You mention the game gear which is an interesting thought. Not sure I could do it though. Never ever owned one. I could begin the quest to get the other kiosk Ive always wanted : http://segaretro.org/Master_System_Kiosk.  :o :o 8) 8)

And sometimes a garbage game is worth a couple of bucks. Lord knows I have gotten a decent amount of playtime from Night Trap. And I dare someone not to have a hilarious time with Cho Aniki.

To be honest, bad games is one of the reasons I am so excited about collecting for the Sega CD.

However, I do feel sorry for someone going for a complete Wii set. The system has some great games, but man, is there ever some shovelware.

Well, to each their own.

I'll never own a complete collection for any console. Because I'm of the mindset of only buying games I'll actually play. I have a few I'll never play that came in lots I bought on eBay or something, but nothing I intentionally bought. Those are the ones I'll trade.

I think as collectors, we've all gone way past buying only games we will actually play. I have a VERY modest collection on this site. If I played a new game from my collection each day, I would only get to each game once a year for however long I have to play that day (maybe an hour). I have under 300 and will not realistically be able to really play each game I have. An hour a year is not really playing the game in my opinion.

If actually playing every game I own was the case, I would rent and/or trade in games.

Yeah, I have a lot of games and I don't think I've scratched the surface with many of them. And there are even fewer that I've beaten. The worst part is that I play a lot of RPGs, and they are time consuming as hell.

I gave up on going for complete sets and am going to be putting up the Saturn games I don't want on ebay, after I move. There is just so much crap figured in when you go for sets.

I agree. The Sega16 forum is trying to play and beat every genesis game in 2013 as a forum. Unfortunately, this covers ~180 sports games. That is a little under 25% of the library. That statistic seemed a little unreal, but turns out to be fact. Could not do that complete set.

But I do like going for them on some of the smaller systems without a lot of sports games. These tend to be short lived or niche systems though. The ~30 game systems can be fun and quick. The ~200 game systems are more in my range. However, other factors can come in. The saturn would be tough due to cost and a bunch of sports games.

I do have games in my collection that I bought and haven't played. But I do have the intention to play them at some point.

I wouldn't, for example, buy Nights Into Dreams on Saturn. I know it's highly collectible, and a cornerstone to many people for a Saturn collection. But I frankly didn't like the game.

Nonetheless, I still consider myself a collector. Same thing goes for comics. For example, I won't buy Spawn because it's all style and no substance, IMO. But I have a collection of over 4,000 comics. (I think I have read every comic in my collection, though, unlike my game collection).

While I don't have the numbers a lot of you guys have, I do have a pretty modest collection of games, IMO. Definetly more than your average gamer.

Ya I have a lot of games that I haven't even played. Mostly, the PS2 games I got for that arcade cab, DS games and some GBA games. For the most part, I try to at least play the game the day I get it. But haven't been able to put any time into gaming lately, which saddens me.

If you don't like them, then why pay even a penny for them?
For me some of the joy comes from buying and owning the game rather than playing it. I like owning 70 Wii games and the enjoyment that I get from that pays for the game. I figure over my lifetime even if I only get an hour worth of enjoyment from the sole fact of owning the game that I can easily justify the cost at a dollar.

I broke 1500 items on VGC this week (without adding all of my strategy guides).

O, Dark(O)ne :P

I've probably still got ~200 - 400 items to still add...but they're all "Swag"(s), guides, ost's, bonuses, etc...and...I'll have to *really* be in the *right* kind of "mood" before I even tackle getting started on that...

To be honest, that's kind of like people who collect things without "real" uses (other than being pretty), like porcelain figures, spoons, or whatever. If you like owning them, then it's worth the money spent!

Though I only collect games that I like and would want to play, I know I might never play more than half an hour on some of them, but since I own them, I know that I can play them if I feel like it at any time, and that's what I like.

I've loved handheld systems since the Game Boy. Its nice to be able to take the game you're playing anywhere and be able to pass time with it.

Plus I've always believed that the smaller screen (starting and especially on GBA and DS) made the games look better than if they were TV consoles. The Game Boy Micro for example has one of the nicest screens available at the time, compared to the pre-backlit GBAs and launch DS.

Handhelds/laptop are pretty much all the gaming I can manage these days - the idea that I can hog the family TV for an indeterminate amount of time to play some RPG is laughable  :'(

Apparently, I broke the 900 games mark recently and didn't even know it. I can't tell what my 900 was, but I think it was one of the Neo Geo MVS carts.

Very nice! I rarely come across SMS games anymore. I still do from time-to-time (unlike Saturn and Sega CD games  >:( ), but it's rare occurrence anymore. I only have a dozen SMS games. I'm still kicking myself for passing up that copy of Outrun, because I thought I could find it on Genesis (I haven't).

Guys! Guys!

Guys!


I just hit 300 games, right on time! (I was trying to get to 300 before 2014, to start the new year on a good achievement  ;D)

Sorry, I'm kinda really happy about succeeding, haha. It was my goal since around september. My mom helped me too, she wasn't supposed to give me anything this christmas, but she bought me a game and bribed my brother into giving me one too  :P (he was gonna give me a gift anyway, so he made it a game)

Kolibri makes 25 32X games.

This is about the only milestone number I will encounter since I am 11 games away from all of them. Not that I will have them all since I will not shell out the cash for 2 or 3 of the titles at market value. And I don't see deals coming along soon.

Nope, those are the 3 I probably won't pick up. I may start a change jar and snag World Series on a deal. But that's about it. The others I would have to get in a trade or just stumble upon.

Yea I know.  I feel bad for purchasing the 2 I got but they were from the same seller so he talked me into it.  If I ever get a double of the world series or pitfall I'll trade one to you.  What about you're Game Gear collection?  Before, you were keeping up with a completion percentage?

I still am. But my signature was getting crowded. So, it had to leave my sig.

Honestly, I started getting good deals on SMS, 32X, and Genesis games. This took my focus away from the Game Gear. However, my focus will hopefully be turning back to the Game Gear soon. My Game Gear is being modded by a friend to produce video out. This way I can play on a TV and record footage for youtube.

I'll report back on the mod once it's done. We'll see if it is a success in a month or two.

Sorry. Missed this. He would do it for a fee. Modding consoles is what he does. He was recommended to me by a fellow youtuber. So, I'm sure he does good work. However, I feel odd recommending him or giving stuff out until everything is done and I can fully vouch for him. Once it is done I will give a review and shout out. It is not something I would suggest if you aren't doing it for a reason. I am getting the video board from a guy named Tim in Australia. He does great work. Then I'm sending my stuff to the UK. Shipping alone can be costly. I'm just a huge Game Gear fan. And I want to see how it is done and view the solder points closely. As I did not follow everything from Tim's guide.

Yeppers, at least for the US set. And only one of the is REALLY hard to find.

However, the Master System is one of the only systems where completing the US set seems to feel like it's just a decent chunk of the games. It continued in Europe for a long time. Most people consider the full set to be one game from at least one region... US, Brazil, EU. This is somewhere around 350-400 I believe.

It's the definitive system with people defining the full set as all western releases. Not that I agree fully. But thought I'd mention it.

Yeah, I look at some full sets, such as Stew's, on Sega 8-bit and a all region set CIB is crazy big. The 114 US set is a great selection as it cuts out the crap such as Flintstones or Back to the Future.

Still not bad Turf.  there is what, 750 total or so for american NES games.  You are still pretty close with 600.  I say keep going for it man.  That's an achievement!  You can use some tax money to get flintstones or something.

And fyi, by "complete" I don't mean have every single game released on the system. I have nothing against completionist collecting, but I personally only collect games I have in interest in playing some day. Code Veronica is the last game I need before I have every gamecube game I could ever want.

I think Im pretty lucky in the fact that I only really enjoy one genre and thats RPGs. Pair that with the fact that I dont tend to multiple buy the same game for different systems and I can map out what I want pretty easily. SNES was Super Metroid, Link to the past, Tecmo secret of the stars, and Super Mario RPG. Saturn is Magic knight Rayearth. Sega CD is Vay and Popful mail. Genesis has Crusader of Centy and Sword of Vermilion (although this one is available on some compilations, I found the copy I have complete with guide for cheaper than it normally goes for cart only).

I'm not focused, at all. I just buy games I want. It just happens that most of the multiplatform games I want I already have on PS2 or Xbox. And GameCube exclusives were very cheap for a while there.

I also collect Microsoft.  :P See! I'm diversified.

I used to not be focused at all. But I always felt like I had the sampler appetizer plate of games. There were several systems that I owned for years and never really experienced. So, after I started buying stuff again after college, I decided to really focus. It's been nice.

I will move on at some point. I've got a huge foundation, which is the easiest part of collecting. Game Gear and 32X is starting to get tougher. Sega CD and Saturn are always tough. Genesis and Dreamcast is still easy gettin'. But, I can see them all getting tough sooner rather than later.

I will probably still stay focused. But I will add something in a few years. It might be the defining games of the NES. It might be a portable game collection, it might be a 3DO collection. I don't know. Since, I've been riding the subway, I have been eyeing a PSP or DS. I feel like I could get a really good cross sectional and longitudinal experience of Nintendo just from its portables. I've been REALLY close several times.

But then again I have thought about expanding the SEGA collection to arcades. If I had the space and money, SEGA electromechanical games would be my new focus area.

No point to this post really. Just gathering my own thoughts.  8)

I'm not hyper focused either, at one time I decided to go through the entire library of certain consoles and pick out the games I wanted. There are many titles that I have little to no desire to get, and also games that I'd like to have, but would only buy if I found them for a super good deal. I currently do not have many more games that I would pay Ebay prices for, meaning my collecting has substantially cooled down over the past 4 or 5 months. At one point I was adding around 500 games a year to the collection, but I'm thinking that I might barely break 150 this year.

If you want even bigger looking numbers, he's got about 10.1 times as many games as I do haha :) (I've got 310, don't look at my signature; there's a lot of swag and consoles and accessories counted there)

Congrats, by the way! That's really amazing. I bet that looks crazy in your room!

Just out of curiosity - did you buy most of these games new at retail, on clearance, used? I'm a Xbox 360 collector too so I'm a little curious.

I try to pick up most of mine clearance, but have had to buy a few used over the years because of such limited retail releases.

I remember when Record of Agarest War Limited Edition was coming out and I was thinking I better pick that up before it skyrockets in the aftermarket and it would make it hard to ever realize a complete 360 game collection for North America releases - then I saw it came with a mousepad that was a little disturbing. I passed on it. Oh well - it's still around $70 used and $150 new. Not as bad as it could get.

I have picked up 99% of them on clearance and used. I try not to spend more than $5 each but if it's a game that I have been looking for I'll sometimes pay more.

Picked up a box of NES games, which finally pushed me past the 50% mark in the NES catalog.  Now the really steep uphill climb can begin :/  Plus it only leaves Donkey Kong and Stack-Up as my only remaining black box games to pick up.

I officially have all the Nintendo Gamecube games that I was actively searching for since starting to collect for the Gamecube around 2-years ago. I found Resident Evil Code Veronica X today for $30 at a local game store, which officially ended my Gamecube collecting. I am both happy and relieved it is over because Gamecube collecting seems to be getting more expensive by the day lol.

I hope I don't get in trouble for this one, I'm not sure if we're allowed to post links to similar sites, or not.

But I'd LOVE to see VGCollect implement something like this:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?action=profile&name=BurningDoom&folder=Collection (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?action=profile&name=BurningDoom&folder=Collection)

That stats page is really the only reason I still have an RFGeneration account. I can separate games by system, by genre, by publisher, and by type (hardware or software).

If it ever gets done here at VGCollect, though, I'd like to see a few more separations since we have more than just hardware and software here. I mentioned them above (Games, Systems, Accessories, Strategy Guide, and Other).

I can definitely relate.  I had a cleaning in early Dec. that turned into a crown, that turned into needing a root canal - but by that time the only oral surgeon in town that accepted my insurance was closed because they were moving into a new office, so I had to wait about 3 weeks to get that done.  Was on pain meds all through the holidays.  So I share your dislike of the dentist.  ;)

I had a lot of dental work done back in 2011, I think there were 4 or 5 root canals in that, and though I am glad I got it done after putting it off for so long I will never go back, ever. I fear the dentist more then anything on the planet.

To add to the thread, I recently found the CE guide for Final Fantasy XIII. Wasn't something I was REALLY looking for, but I wanted it, and found it in a used book store for $2.

Glancing over your list, I have 4 recommendations for you.  The first two because they're games I really enjoyed - the original Maximo (I see you have the sequel) and I-Ninja.  I-Ninja was a very fun and creative 3D platformer that was very underrated in its time. 

The next two not necessarily because I think they're great games, but because they're both cheap/easy to find and games that most people would naturally have in a collection approaching your size - Jak 2 & 3.  Again, I think after Jak & Daxter the series fell off a cliff, but...

I need Monkey Island, Road Avenger, Wonderdog (red box), Wolfchild, and Afterburner III. I think that's all. I'm totally not a completionist, but I always had this ambition because it was so doable.

100 PS2 games!

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21697512/IMG_20140314_190641.jpg)

Just hit 100 games for the PS2 and I think I picked a good one to cap the milestone with. It was a race between Xenosaga III and this one, so I decided to get Xenosaga III as #99.

Been wanting to pick this up for awhile, but didn't really want to drop $50 on it. And since I prefer the PS2 over the Xbox and I already had the 1st game for PS2, I didn't want to get it for Xbox. But, I ended up snagging this beauty for $22 shipped! Everything is pretty mint, the manual has a slight nick on the edge, but that's no big deal at all.

Thanks! Not in the US, they talked about releasing #5, then Enix USA folded up shop for the first time and no release. :/ There was no DW games until the 3 Monsters games and the two re-releases close to 8 years later. The next NEW DW release was VII, which came out in...2001.

And yes, IV was awesome. Get it on either DS or NES. :D

Tragic. Did your shelf collapse?  :P


So I've just realized that I topped 70 Wii games, and I can still think of a bunch I wanna get. There really is no shortage of good content on the Wii.

With this last group of Vectrex games, I now have what I consider to be a complete cartridge set (I count Minestorm II and Mr. Boston as variants and will not be purchasing them). I'll only be doing carts and overlays for this system but certainly wouldn't turn down a manual should some surface. Just three more overlays and 18 manuals to go.

That is awesome! I always thought it was really hardcore to own a Vectrex. To my understanding it has a very small, but high quality library as well.

I just hit the 500 mark as far as physical games, system, strategy guides go!  To me, that sounds like such a high number, but when I look at my collection (with the exception of how much room the consoles and their boxes take up), it doesn't feel like my collection is that big.  Maybe being a member of this site has had an effect on me  ;D

I now have 1000 games on Steam.

Again.

See, I already had 1000 games a week or so ago, but Steam made a change to their game count system which removed all demos, free, and free to play games from everyone's accounts under most circumstances. Only specific F2P games, like Team Fortress 2, remained in people's libraries. This change removed a couple of game demos and a dead game that couldn't be removed from my account. After that... I contacted Steam support to remove a few other games from my account because they were multiplayer-only and completely dead, or just something that I activated without knowing better.

But yeah. 1K games. Yikes.

(Note that my VGCProfile counts DLC as a single game, so the count here is inaccurate.)

It has that effect on people. I've had my slim since 2008 and the longer I've had it the more I've loved it. I have a little over a hundred games for it and still don't even have half the awesome titles I hope to someday acquire for it. I was talking to a local collector about the amazing amount of sweet imports for it the other day and I decided that after getting the imports that I want, it might even surpass my PS2 collection in size. Such an amazing system :D

I really wish my 1500th game could have been something much cooler, but it is my fault for hunting today. I am still very happy I found The Munchables given its relative rarity and that it is another Wii game i can scratch off my Wii Want List (lol). Unless I consider 1750 my next milestone, I'm afraid I'll never hit 2000 games. I only have around 200 games left on my Wish List, and unless I amass a lot of PS4, XBOX-One, and Wii U games someday, 2000 will likely never be reached, at least for a very long time. Very happy to hit the 1500 milestone and very proud of my collection :)

Right now 1,000 seems a bit insane to me. :)

It will be interesting to revisit this conversation when we inevitably reach these now seemingly unreachable milestones. :)

When I compiled my Wii Want List I went through the entire library of games and researched some of the more rare/obscure titles to see if they looked any good. This was one of them.

I actually have Twisted Metal already, this is just trade bait for the local collectors. I found it at a thrift store for $3 and thought why not.


It will be interesting indeed. If I ever reach another milestone it will likely not be for a long time. Most of the stuff I'm still after falls into the expensive, rare, and/or import only category which means that around 1600 or so, I'll be lucky to add more than 50 games a year. Lol it is probably better that way though, at least for me :p

The Wii has a ton of crap, but there are a few hidden gems in there as well. Another pretty hard to find budget title I'm after on the Wii is a game called Opoona. You should check it out. Gamestop sells it for like $3 a think, the problem is finding it there :p

Yep, that one's already on my list.  ;)  Here's the list of what I'm still looking for - some of these aren't hard to find I'm just waiting on a good price, and some of these are very difficult to find at GS & they are pretty expensive online.  Each game links to its GS used stock checker, so if any of them interest you you can easily see if any of your stores have them in stock.  Or, y'know...if anyone wants to be nice & help me out with some of the cheap ones I can't find around here.  :P

Gunblade NYC/LA Machinegun - Very much so!!! Especially if you like games like Time Crisis or House of the Dead you will love it!
Ocean Commander - It is a decent SHMUP, definitely worth picking up for under $10.
Spy Fox - It is a kids point and click adventure game that was originally on PC. I'd say get it if you're into those games.

Great, 2 out of 3 of those I'll be adding to my list then.  ;)  It even says one of my Gamestop's has Ocean Commander in stock, but I'll have to see if it's complete or not. 

I'll keep an eye out for the hard-to-find ones on your list as well.  :)
Does Ocean Commander play well with the wii remote? Because I have the terrible ds port of that game called underwater attack, where you have to use the stylus to shoot, and thats the same screen where all the action is taking place. So it makes playing through the game a nightmare.

Here here gutta brotha!

In other news pertaining to this actual topic, I have officially purchased the last of the SMS games to complete my list of all games released in North America (I had finished the US set but wanted to pursue the Canadian list as well). Once they all arrive (along with my future purchases of 3D glasses and a sports pad), I will complete my SMS game play list. Then I will start working on the entire SMS red cartridge library.

That's awesome and really weird to complete a collection.  What's next?
People sometimes ask me, "What are you going to do when you get all the NES games made?"  Honestly, I really don't know.  I don't know if I'll ever quit looking.  I like the digging too much.  We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

Going for the entire red cartridge SMS library is going to be tough. Its a lot of importing plus 3 of the games are reaching higher end NES price levels.

I always think "Im done" then something else pops into my mind. Not sure Ill ever finish either heh.

Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: soera on September 23, 2014, 08:40:52 pm
The entire official US count is 114. http://segaage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Search.SMS

The NA list (includes Canadian released titles) adds the following titles : Ace of Aces, Assault city (phaser version), Basketball nightmare, Battle outrun, Cyber Shinobi, Danan the jungle fighter, Double hawk, Dynamite Dux, Gain ground, Gauntlet, Golfamania, Impossible mission, Outrun 3D, Psychic world, Scramble spirits, Submarine attack, Tennis ace, Ultima IV, World cup Italia, and World games. I left off the renames (such as American Football vs Walter Payton version). Ultima IV I believe should be on the US list for multiple reasons I will not go off topic on here.

In my personal collection to round it out to 150, I added games that really should have been released here. Mortal Kombat, Ninja Gaiden, Forgotten worlds, Bubble bobble, etc.

I want to add that its a really cool set to work on. There are only a handful of games that are tough to acquire or costly. James Buster Douglas boxing is definitely the bottleneck of the US set (unless you hate money and want to get the "UPC" version of Sonic). Outrun 3D and Assault city (phaser version) will also set you back a few. King's Quest, Montezuma's revenge, and Alf are tough manuals to find.

I'm still looking for Mystical Ninja, Goemon's Great Adventure, and Starshot: Space Circus Fever.

Yes, there really are a lot of great 7th gen games despite the misconception that everything was Call of Duty. 360 was my multiplatform console almost exclusively, hence why I have so many games for it, heck there are still a lot of multiplats I want to get for it. If Bound By Flame drops to $20 soon, it just might be number 300.

Nice! I have 4 games on the N64 left, and then I decided yesterday that I was going to upgrade around 20 of my favorites to CIB.


The PS3 was my system of choice for the 7th gen so all my multiplats are on it. Still, I have just over 100 PS3 titles. I still have a fair amount of 360 exclusives to get, as well as some multiplats that were just better on the 360 (Elder Scrolls, Bayonetta, The Orange Box).

I don't have a whole lot of actual collector goals, but as usual, I'm kicking myself for not getting something when I originally wanted to--ColecoVisions are skyrocketing in prices right now, and two years ago, they were still hovering around $30 instead of $100.

Two of the few goals I have, however, are to have complete collections for Virtual Boy and Microvision, just because.  I'm over halfway there for Microvision.

Here she is, people:

(http://vgcollect.com/images/front-box-art/1052.jpg)

My 100th PS2 game added to my collection! This is the very first time I have ever reached a triple-digit number on any system in my collection!

And it's a nice game to be my 100th game. I'm told that there dozens upon dozens of hours of sci-fi RPG gameplay in this bad-boy! I still have the PS1 Star Ocean game to play through first, though.

Although my cover looks different than the one listed here. The one I have has this almost tribal looking design on the cover in a luminescent purple color.

Picked this one up at Goodwill yesterday.

Infinite Space is pretty pricey tho, that's going to be the tough one.  :-\

Gonna re-count tomorrow to be sure it's right, but according to my Wii page I now have 99 Wii games. And it looks like Fire Emblem may be #100, because a nearby GS got in a copy and I have called & confirmed that it's complete - the manager set it aside for me. :)

Well, turns out my count WAS off - found 4 games I owned but had never entered into my collection for some reason.  Probably wouldn't hurt to double-check some of my other system collections too, especially the PS3 since it's the biggest & has seem the most activity this past year.

I need to do a recount against the db to make sure no games have slipped through without getting entered, but assuming what's on the site is accurate I'm sitting at 299 PS3 games... ;D

I have an import game on order, One Piece Pirate Warriors (the first one), but it's not going to ship until my DMC4 SE ships next month. So it's up in the air right now what #300 will be.

Hang in there. Would you believe two years ago I had less than 100 items total? Across all systems.

Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: doafan on May 16, 2015, 02:31:30 pm
Am hanging from almost two years and will continue acquiring titles no matter what, once a friend told me that if for some reason I stop playing I will "grow up "and totally forgot about having fun, it's a shame that he "grow up" and totally forgot about being a kid, my situation is not easy cause my daughter was rejected from public school so I decided to put her in a private one which is kinda expensive, this is one of the main reasons that I can't purchase as many games as I want every week, thank God my priorities are well defined and my family is always first, education is first and as my dad says knowledge is power also I hope too live for many more years so there is still time to find those games that I really want  ;D

13 if you count issue 0 (it's only about 30 pages long), but it's definitely something worth getting if you love the Dreamcast.

Posted this in August Pickups as well, but considering how big of a deal it is I definitely thought it'd be appropriate to post it here as well. Ladies and gentlemen, the final PS2 game needed to complete my PS2 want list: Wild Arms 5!


(http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx131/bikingjahuty/P1070196_zpsixtl9nbm.jpg) (http://s749.photobucket.com/user/bikingjahuty/media/P1070196_zpsixtl9nbm.jpg.html)


At one point my PS2 want list was over 200 games and now it has been completed! I will still pick up PS2 games, but only casually when found for good prices in the wild. It's an incredible feeling to own every PS2 game that I really wanted since I began collecting for it about 6-years ago.

One away from 20 whole games on the Wii U. There isn't going to be a lot of software on the Wii U, that much is already obvious. But at least most of the games on the platform are quite good, no thanks in any part to third party developers.

but that includes digital. i am 23 away from 300 physical titles.
i am 33 away from 100 ps3 titles, so unfortunately, i can't make them match up. that would have been badass. ahh, well.

(getting to the dregs of ps3 titles, tho, i'm not sure what will pad out the rest but i would be delighted to have 100 ps3 titles. ps3 is my favourite console, i do believe.
i should probably write a list down for my own personal records)

Working on adding the last of my PC games to the database, but once I am done I should have passed the 3500 games threshold, and I just recently broke through to less than 100 games left to complete my OG Xbox collection.

Oh, wow. Going for a complete set, eh? At least looks that way based on your collection. I've been tempted by that on the Xbox. It's a great time for it.

I got really close to 2000, but you know, stuff and all. FYI my current collection counter is not even close to accurate. I've sold a lot this past year. Most likely I'm at around 1500 games right now, just haven't been motivated enough to update it. One of these days though :p

Kinda horrific and disgusting but yea it is very healthy.

Definitly does not look healthy at all if you would like to have my opinion, it looks poisonous but yea green is good no matter how bad it looks.

Well one could argue that if you avoid such things as mold, then you are less likely to have any tolerance to the stuff. I never shy away from stuff like that, it doesn't do anything to me anyways but I don't know if it is because I don't avoid it or I have a natural immunity or something.

Mold on paper, in most cases, goes into the trash. On plastic or some other inorganic material, it can be cleaned. But some people are actually allergic to mold, so a person like that may have a problem with a game with mold on it.

2016 is completed. With the acquisition of Farming Sim 17 (ick ... felt dirty just buying it) and F1 2015, I now have all the US released PS4 titles from launch through 2016. 2017 is going to be a big handful cause its definitely the biggest year so far and lots and lots of AAA $60 releases happened last year. But at the same time, I already have a lot of them so we will see!

It's going the opposite way, but over the past few months i've been seriously clearing out my collection of floatsam and things that just don't appeal to me. Having not been able to afford many games when a child, through to shedding my collection every few years as a teenager/young adult, I finally settled upon collecting and sticking a number of years ago. I'm very much a bargain hunter/trader (though through game shops, not swaps), as well. As a result I've collected almost entire series of things which look interesting and bought anything non-sports when I could get it for pence.

As a result, even with constantly trading away stuff I wasn't interested in, my collection has swollen to include games I (now) can't even be bothered to try. Just being an action game isn't enough any more. With old computer games, most of them have aged very poorly and have no memories since I couldn't afford many when they were current. Series like Tomb Raider, Yakuza, Yu-Gi-Oh, Shenmue etc. might be fantastic games of their ilk, but they're not the kind of games I actually want to play. Original Xbox/PS2/Gamecube games which are dated, bog-standard examples of genres I'm very ambivalent about (FPS, street racing, 1-on-1 fighting, rhythm, cheaply put together licensed games or ones based on characters I'm uninterested in), had loads of them. They're going or gone, traded away. In their place are new games or store credit (more than £500 spread around three different shops/chains).

Moving forward I'll be:
*Concentrating on games that really appeal to me or have memories attached to them.
*Worrying less about games which can be emulated on a modern pocket calculator.
*Really concentrating on getting everything listed here on VGCollect - still have a load of strategy guides and some Amiga and 3DO games not on yet.
*Looking for cheeky bargains to trade in for stuff I'd like.

So it's a new dawn, it's been cathartic actually being able to turn around and say "what the hell are you doing on my shelf?" after all these years without it being about getting rid of the collection.
Title: Re: Collection Achievements thread
Post by: bikingjahuty on September 12, 2018, 08:43:44 pm

This is less of an achievement post and more of a damage control, regret post. I include it because eventually I'd like to rebuild what I got rid of in order to make this an achievement.

I've been touch and go for about two weeks trying to re-catalog my collection after going on a bit of a hiatus from serious collecting and also not keeping track of the new games I've bought. Also, for those of you who forgot or were unaware, I had the biggest collection purge I've ever had in 2017 due to a string of medical issues that I needed cash for and what better place to get it than my vast, expensive video game collection. Because of how much I sold and how demoralizing it was to sell off so many of my games, I stopped keeping track of what I had. So far I'm at a net loss from the 1990 games I had listed for a long time. I temporarily went over 2000 to 2021, but after taking inventory of my PS2 and Gamecube collection just now, that number now stands at 1974. Sadly, I think I'll be sitting at around 1950 when I finally have cataloged everything.


For the most part I haven't regretted selling much, outside of a handful of games. The Gamecube currently holds the most amount of regrets, but luckily none of those games are insanely expensive or rare. My most expensive regret has been Einhander on the PS1, which I felt like I had played enough to convince myself that I'd be fine not playing it ever again, or at least for the next few years, but sadly I want it back. I almost considered getting Giga Wing 2 again, but after seeing the going rate for that game now and remembering it is a wildly mediocre, albeit cool looking shooter, i'm okay not repurchasing that one. If I ever find it for below $100 again I'll buy it, but only then.


I still have several other console libraries to inventory, including the bulk of my retro games which took the biggest hit when I had to sell stuff. We'll see what the damage is soon enough.

I didn't think I would have the time or discipline to finish going through my entire collection tonight, but I did it.


My current collection count stands at 1934 games; a net loss of 56 games from when I last was keeping track of my collection back during March of last year. Even though it's only 56 games, it still bums me out a bit seeing that consoles like the Gamecube, all of my cartridge based retro consoles, save the N64, and a decent amount of PS2 and XBOX games were sold off. My massive selloff was offset a lot more than I expected by the PS4 and to a lessor degree the Switch and 3DS. Despite the overall loses, there were very few games that I genuinely regret selling, and luckily none of the games I sold save a few will be too difficult or expensive to reacquire.


Going forward, with a few exception, I plan on passively rebuilding my retro game collection (essentially everything from the N64/PS1 era and older) casually, only picking up games I have an interest in when I find them for relatively cheap. Also with these older retro consoles my focus on what I collect for them will be a lot more specific, mostly including only the must have titles and a lot less of the hidden gem and mediocre fluff I used to have. Luckily with consoles like the PS2 and original XBOX there were very few games I sold from these consoles I would want back, as both collections had a lot of unnecessary fat on them that was mostly trimmed. However, the Gamecube will be on a higher priority list for me because of it having the most games I regret selling so I will be on the look out for that console more than most other older consoles. Regarding the 360, PS3, and Wii, I fortunately have almost everything I want for all three, and have been on the lookout for the remaining titles on a very casual, slow basis. I'm pretty certain that the bulk of my newly acquired games will be for the current gen seeing how these are the games that I play the most right now and have the most interest in overall. One final note, I am uncertain where I stand in regards to when to include PC games in my collection. I'm debating on whether to only include complete PC games, including the box and all associated items that came with it, or to settle for just jewel case and the game itself. If I go with the latter then I could easily bump my collection count up about a dozen games or so.


I guess in the end, there is an achievement in doing what I did just now; I feel like I have reinstated myself as a collector officially after a year and a half of rejecting the label. However, how I collect and what I collect will look pretty different from how I was doing things before which was far more aggressive than the approach I am taking now. Save maybe completing a collection for a specific console, I don't think I'll be posting again until I hit the 2000 game mark, which if I had to guess will happen sometime next year. We'll see I guess.

It's gutting that you had to eat into your collection, but it's great that you got the treatment! At least you've been able to identify exactly what you need, since not only can you chase them directly you can also trade any cheap finds towards them too. Good luck rebuilding your Gamecube collection and adding to it again :)

Yeah 2017 was a pretty rough year for a variety of reasons, but luckily things have been mostly on the up and up since late last year, collecting wise and just in general. Luckily I've been seeing a lot more retro trade in at a local of local stores that take it in, going along with my theory that a lot of people are retiring from the hobby of video game collecting. A few weeks ago before going through my collection again I found a bunch of cheaper NES games at a pretty good price that I considered picking up, but I passed because I actually don't even have an NES console at the moment lol.


But yeah, I plan on trading up to a lot of the things I want. I belong to a local collecting group that frequently has meetups to sell and trade games, and people bring some pretty good stuff nearly every time. I'm sure it will take me a really long time to find some of the titles I lost and want back, but I'm a fairly patient person so it's not a big deal.

I can definitely relate to this my dude, it sucks but sometimes hobbies need to take a back seat to life especially when it's down to survival. Thankfully you're in a better place in life now and you're starting to rebuild.
For me personally after years of having to get rid of my Gamecube collection multiple times as a kid, I finally have all of the Gamecube games I used to own and now I'm able to get the ones I wanted to get so many years ago when my family didn't have the money for it.

I've always enjoyed the hunt more than actually owning many of the games I have and had before selling them. I enjoy the memories or stories behind how I got X game at a flea market or thrift store for dirt cheap, which despite having sold some of those cool story games, I still have my memories of finding them. Unfortunately many of the games I sold, particularly a lot of the retro games were games I found when retro games were still relatively easy to find and hunt for (around 2011 and 2012) so it might be a while before I come into ownership for games like Lightening Force, Sunset Riders, or Turtles in Time. But I'm happy that the specific health issues I was having are behind me as is the debt I would have had to take on had I not tapped into my collection for additional funds. Games are replaceable, your health and peace of mind aren't.

I decided that I wanted to review my video game want list, aka my sacred, long standing, ever evolving list of video games I'd like to own and have in my collection. Primarily I wanted to divide all the games on it into tiers of how badly I wanted them; tier 1 essentially means I'd pay ebay prices for the game and represents the games I want the most. Tier 2 are games I want a lot, but can't justify paying more than 75% of the game's current ebay price. Essentially I want these games, but don't mind holding off on them until I can find a decent price on them. Then there is Tier 3, which are games I just can't justify paying more than 50% of the games current ebay price for, and are games I will only buy if I find a store significantly slipping on or find it in the wild for dirt cheap. There is also a tier 4 which means I won't spend more than 30% of the games value, but only a handful of games are in this group, mostly because of how insanely expensive they are and how I'd never even spend half of what they're worth since even half would mean these games would be worth over a hundred bucks still, sometimes even more.


But while reviewing and revamping want list I came to the realization that there are maybe around 10 games total that I really, really want at the moment. Mind you, these only include games from gens prior to the current console gen we're in since new games are still being released for the present generation. I had probably about 25 or so Tier 2 games as well, and then literally hundreds of tier 3 games. Essentially, there is barely anything else left in regards to "retro" games that I actually want, at least enough to pay significant money for.


What all this means is that I'm not nearly as much into collecting, particularly retro games as I originally thought i was since returning to collecting. It also means that I am mostly content with my current collection, and there isn't a ton of gaping holes in it that I desperately want to fill. Sure, there are those games I regret selling, but many of them I'm fine with holding off until a great deal comes along (essentially a tier 3 deal for the vast majority of them). By definition I am still a collector, but outside of mostly newer games coming out I doubt I'll be adding a lot to my retro game collections, including the PS3, 360, Wii, and Wii U which aren't retro, but are unsupported legacy consoles at this point. With that said, I do have some pretty big plans in the future regarding my retro game collections.


Currently, the NES, Genesis, SNES, and N64 only include tier 3 or 4 games, however when I am finally able to afford a permanent living situation (I currently rent part of a house with very limited space), and hopefully have more disposable income than I currently do, I'd like to start getting into more CIB collecting for these systems. Not only do I want to upgrade many of the cart only copies of games I currently have for these systems, but would like to obtain many games I don't have for these systems and add them to my collection CIB. During this time I'd also like to get back into NTSC-US Saturn collecting and also big box PC collecting again as well, deliberately going out and buying them. So pretty much all these retro platforms will be upgraded to tier 1, or at least tier 2. The biggest reason for this is both cost and space, which hopefully won't be as much of an issue someday. In the meantime, if I can score a killer deal on the systems and platforms mentioned I'll gladly add them before and if this ever happens.

Reached a massive milestone in my Team Fortress 2 inventory:

100 unusual quality items, all with the same effect. Still need to work my way up and get about 60-some more to take the spot for largest single-effect collection overall though.

Happy days! :) It's a bit late in life, but I'm coming to the realization that anything you do which actually takes time, effort or is something you devote time to thinking about requires re-evaluation from time to time, to make sure you're on track and not devoting resources to whatever it is needlessly. It's great to have been able to narrow it down to a small number of must-haves and then have your other wants ranked, nice and clean and it means you've got priorities in your ebay searches etc.

At the minute I'm writing a kill-list for several systems using youtube to get an idea of how all these unknown games actually play. Despite already grabbing fistfuls of Xbox games and trading them in, using YT I've found more than 30 more that I'm not interested in owning. My interest in owning as big a collection of games to play as possible is undiminished, but I'm increasingly irritated by the revelation that servicing all these unknowns and picking something to play etc. is taking more time than actually enjoying the things. It's good to clear out.

A mere 2 days before the end of the year and I reached my goal. 900 physical PS4 games. Steadily working toward that sweet goal of 1000. If LRG and all the other limited game publishers would send me what Ive paid for, Id probably already be another 25-30 games closer!

I just worked out a deal for my 2000th game with a local collector. It isn't anything amazing, but it's still pretty awesome and it is definitely something I will remember to commemorate the milestone. Another post will hopefully be coming soon regarding it.

Here it is folks, game number 2000!


I wanted to make game 2000 special, and aside from obscenely expensive games I could buy to remember it by, I thought that it would be a better idea to start collecting for a platform that I currently am not. NTSC/US Saturn collecting was the first collecting I ever did back in 2008, and anyway if you want to hear more about that please read my post in the "When did you first start to collect video games" thread. Short of it is, I amassed a modest collection of US Saturn titles before having to sell them off about a year later in order to pay for school.


A year or so after that I decided that US Saturn collecting was too expensive and also there were so many import titles that I wanted that collecting just Japanese Saturn titles made way more sense. Since then I have collected quite a few import Saturn games, and also have found several US Saturn games during that time as well, however every single one of the NTSC/US Saturn games I traded or sold since I didn't want to get back into US Saturn collecting at the time.


The reason I decided to change my mind about US Saturn collecting and get back into it, beyond wanting to make my 2000th game memorable is because I adore Gen 5 games. My PS1 and N64 collections are among my favorites in my overall collection, and many of the games for those two consoles are among the most nostalgic and special to me. The same goes for the Saturn, which I grew up playing at friends' houses and have equally fond memories playing. Couple that with an incredible library of games and also that the Saturn library has been trending downwards in price for a couple of years now, it just made sense to get back into it.


So last night I posted an ad in a local facebook buy/sell group I belong too and a local collector I know replied saying he had a double of Clockwork Knights 2. It seemed to perfectly fit the criteria of uncommon and interesting, but not obscenely expensive like Panzer Dragoon Saga or Burning Ranger. I met up with him on my lunch break and bought my first US Sega Saturn game that I actually plan on keeping in over a decade. I also won a few ebay auctions for other Saturn games, but I will save those for another post in the pickups thread. So here it is, game number 2000, Clockwork Knights 2

Hit a milestone, virtually finished with 7th generation consoles now - literally need a handful of Xbox 360 games (Dead to Rights, a handful of Spiderman games, mislaid my copy of Shadows of the Damned), otherwise I just want Spaghetti Western Shooter for the Wii, then that's pretty much it. That aside I'm just buying must-have imports/limited physical releases for PS4 and aiming to pick up Vita games via trade-in, anything else is a bonus. It just makes my collecting a hell of a lot less complicated, time consuming and cluttering. Just need to play more games and enjoy them now, my work is mostly done.  8)

The Game Tengoku CruisinMix Special - Paradise Box I recently received from LRG makes it 7K items in the collection. I'm actually well past that as I still haven't gotten around to listing all of my guides/accessories. Still I figured what better game to cross the threshold with?  ;)

I also just passed 500 North American PS4 titles. I need to get around to synching up my spreadsheet to the site as it only shows on here that I'm about 28 away from that number.

Complete PAL PS1 collection. Finished that in the 2000s. Also complete Intellivision, VideoPac and some smaller systems.

Game on, collect on :)
