Wow.  Imagine the planning and work that had to go into such an accurate and large-scaled project!

Scottish accent is wow... I had a scottish room mate, oh boy... Took me a few days to be able to understand what he was saying.

Sounds like me watching Trainspotting...or...was that Requiem For A Dream; one of 'em

Trainspotting.    Begbie's (Robert Carlisle) accent was thickest in that film.

Firs thing I thought of when I saw that Famicom "game chair" was: "Man I hope those were cheap carts".

Same here!

I have nothing fancy.  Just a recliner and a couple of bean bags.  Sometimes I even sit in bed and play games because I also have a 360 in the bedroom.

I really want Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, but I no has a 3DS.    Now that I know there's also a BlazBlue game out for it, I may have to pick one up at some point soon...

But, I now have Lords of Shadow 2 for 360 paid in full.

Is the manual black and white or color on that Super Castlevania IV?

'Tis colour.

I think I Googled "video game collection database" or something to that effect after the previous website I belonged to (listal.com) no longer suited my needs.  It was a multi-functional site where you could make lists and also pertained to movies, tv shows, books, etc.  It had a user-contributed database/image function, and that was its downfall.  The first few years I was active on it, people actually used it for its intended purpose, but then a lot of traffic from Google and other sites eventually turned it into a porn site.  I deleted all of my lists, etc. and moved here since video games were my primary interest anyway.  I had tried out The Backloggery, but found that VGC suited me better.

I think it's a reasonable price considering just how many of these are complete and in decent condition (according to the seller).  Would I buy them all in one go?  Probably not.  For one, the thrill and satisfaction of amassing such a complete collection is going out and finding each and every one of these games for yourself, not relying on someone else to have already done the work.  Also, I certainly don't have that kind of money anyway.

You guys have gotten some great stuff so far this month!  I'm liking all the BlazBlue stuff especially, Vancha.  And Darko, you must have a Vintage Stock near you. 

I've been super busy and haven't had a chance to post my recent findings, but... I picked up a few things this past week that are worth mentioning:

The Immortal (Genesis) - hard as balls
Killer Instinct (SNES) - also own it on GameBoy
and a box (with manual, cardboard and other inserts) for Super Castlevania IV in perfect condition.  I have yet to get a cart, but once I do this will be my first pristine CIB retro Castlevania game.  I have started down a path I cannot return from... lol

I am also now just past the 400 mark for my collection.  Woot!

General / Re: What kind of game collector are you?

« on: November 29, 2012, 01:00:54 pm »

I always buy games I know I like/will like and intend to play.  Or, I'll buy games from my childhood -- even if they're not masterpieces --  just for nostalgia's sake.  If there's a crap game in my collection, the blame falls on my boyfriend, not me.

That just goes to show you that the vast majority of VGC members have taste.
