All the N64 hate makes me sad :(. Despite having no RPGs on it really, it is still my favorite Nintendo console of all time.

I mostly collect to play. The exception being that for some reason I want a complete Dreamcast collection. That's far down the road, but I'm always looking to get new Dreamcast games! Doubly so now that I have my sweet Hanzo VGA box/Scanliner.

Haha funny enough the Dreamcast has been the only system I considered collecting the whole set as well. Part is was that I am almost half way there with the games I actually want on the console, and the other is that I just have so, so, so much love for that console. All the games (including the sports games) have this character to them that I am completely in love with. Seeing this video also didn't help matters:

I have so much love for it too, but I didn't get a Dreamcast until after the system was discontinued. I think it was Power Stone 1 & 2 that sold me on the system's charm. Typing of the Dead as well.

I've noticed you going for Dreamcast games in the past. I kind of consider you competition  :P . I've seen a couple videos from the keep dreaming series and it's pretty fantastic. I want two Dreamcast fighting sticks so bad!

I hope you were able to nab those games from Foxhack. If PAX East hadn't just happened, I'd probably have the money to grab them myself lol.

Lol it's all good, there is plenty to go around :p

I did end up getting Capcom vs. SNK and King of Fighters Evolution from him, but I already have the rest. After I get those in the mail there are only 4 more NTSC Dreamcast games I am after (Silent Scope, Vigalante 8: Second Offense, Street Fighter III: Double Impact, and Illbleed). I also have about 20 import titles I am after as well. So I am almost out of the Dreamcast Collecting scene, although as I said, it is tempting to go for a full set ;)
That's awesome! Watching that video was definitely inspiring to collect for the system. You seem to have a lot of patience (and perhaps a decent amount of disposable income), so I'd say go for it!

Patience, yes. Disposable income, no. lol. I pick up the vast majority of my games on the cheap so it allows me to buy more. I also do a lot of trading with local collectors which helps reduce costs. I probably won't be diving into the import games for a while, and as for going for a complete set it wouldn't be that expensive for me considering 90% of what I don't have are games worth $5 or less.

Need to count it up, but from the looks of it, I probably have at least $80 saved up.

I definitely collect to play. I never really saw the point of collecting every game for a specific console, including all the crap, shovelware, Maddens, and BS that no one except a completionist collector would want. I only collect games that I someday plan on playing, even if that ends up being 40-years from now. With that said, I will buy a game I have no interest in if it is a good deal and if I can use it as trade bait. Other than that, I only want games that I will play someday, even if my collection is way smaller then someone going for a whole system set.


Hey, I PROUDLY own every almost Madden since 2002 (except 2005 and 2009). And I still play most of them... or at least pop them in to laugh at the rosters.

My Bad :p

I personally don't see the point of collecting every Madden installment, as well as the other EA sports franchises that get an annual release, but that is just me.

Not nearly as big of a deal, but I had to tell some kid (probably 13 or so) at the flea market last summer that his Pokemon GBA games were fake. I assumed he knew, but the look on his face said otherwise. It was a mix of anger and disappointment. These fake carts are getting out of hand.

Probably a long shot, but are Capcom vs. SNK and King of Fighters Evolution still for sale?

I wish I could tell you, but to my understanding the one you have pictured is the second printing that Gamestop received, and released as used only once the price of Metroid Prime Trilogy had become inflated enough (think it was worth around $120 at the time). Gamestop loves doing this on sought after games in order to get around that pesky MSRP BS. But yeah, it is an offical re-release of the game as far I know. The metal case one is the original print run copy.

Resident Evil Code veronica X on the gamecube sealed for £50

Awesome that you found this sealed. This game took me FOREVER to find here in the states. I finally found a used copy for $30 at a local game store last minth, finishing my GC collection.

Is there anyone else who is getting frustrated with the lack of info regarding Pier Solar HD's release? I have scoured Watermelon's website and forums and the only info I can find is that they "might" be releasing it the end of this month. I understand making a game like this takes time, and that is totally okay, but it would be nice to get some official updates.

I've been on a handheld kick recently. Started playing Astroboy Omega Factor on the GBA this morning and WOW. . .where has this game been all my life! It definitely has Treasure's stamp of awesomeness all over it :p
