General / Re: Do you ever buy Non-Original accessories
« on: December 31, 2025, 08:54:48 pm »Back in the day, i bought a whole stack of unbranded Playstation 1 Memory Cards, simply because they were 1/3 in price of what Sony charged and some games could fill up entire cards by itself (sports games especially), so i needed a ton of them. They surprisingly work to this day perfectly fine.
I don't see a problem with that.
They have higher fail rates than originals, originals don't really fail while 3rd party ones have allot of reports.
That being said odds are stacked in your favor and in more cases than not they will work perfectly fine and they often have more storage than originals.
Not for a long time, but the Hori products always catch my eye.
I don't count hori as non original their quality is good and they actually worked with nintendo and playstation on multiple really great controllers back in the day.

It's been quite a fantastic year in terms of collection addition. while it ain't the most amount of games I've ever added to the collection in a year, the titles that did. do pack a heavy punch. very pleased with my additions
Every next year I think I ain't gonna find good deal or that I already discovered all the good stuff but every year it still happens and I still discover new games on these old consoles, I ain't complaining
1: vampire kiss No 1 most wanted game for snes finally managed to score 1 at an amazing price. funnily enough scored multiple this year, just how it goes sometimes. alien soldier for sega, vampire kiss for snes. this title alone made my year.
2: invader gba
3: harmful park Never expected to score many of these jap gems that I saw in a metal jesus vid many years ago i ain't complaining.
4: ghost sweeper
5: Belmonts revenge gameboy
6: Sailor moon snes

As a kid with no money back in the day yes, I can either buy 1 controller at 30 or 3 for 10 each
And being the o so Generous Host, always dumping the 3rd party cube controller with inferior buttons on my visitors while using the original one that came with the console for moi.
and obviously to avoid this treatment elsewhere bringing my own controller.

General / Re: Your collection in 5-years from now
« on: December 25, 2025, 07:26:59 am »I think I'll have around 2000 games in 5 years if there are enough interesting titles that is.
I'll probably have pretty much all interesting ps1, ps2, gamecube and ds titles by than other collection will be exapnded by allot.
I also hope that I can pickup a neo geo aes console with some games.
Welp I definitely did get to 2K games in 5 years. Maybe i get to 4K in a few years.
And i did manage to get a AES + some games
progression has been going fine, still finding new stuff to add to the collection and crossing of higher value good titles across retro consoles.

« on: December 20, 2025, 06:14:44 am »I did it. One of the crown jewels of stupid gaming accessories, is now in my collection. Behold: the BigBen Cyberbike (Magnetic Edition) for Wii. Half exercise bike, half GameCube controller.
I can't help it, I have a fondness for stupid gaming accessories. I learned about this thing well over 10 years ago, and it's always been on my brain. So I'm so happy to finally own one! One complete with the papers and game, and in really good condition no less. All I'm missing is the original cardboard box.
I cannot imagine how huge the cardboard box must have been

« on: December 19, 2025, 02:48:09 pm »In terms of collecting gonna be focussing on jap exclusives more than previous years. and otherwise just gonna take it slow as usual.Collection goals:
AND I'm interested in purchasing some vtech edutainment systems, such as V.Smile ... those come cheap but I didn't start collecting it yet ...
Out of curiosity, where does your interest in the VTech games come from? Are they games you'd consider fun enough to actually want to play?
Nah, not really, I just think the V.Smile system looks funky and as a 90s kid from Germany, Vtech actually is a well known and liked brand overall
It's liked by kids beyond the age of 5? it's a well known brand in europe I'll give ye that but that's news to me
I don't really try to "enjoy" this toy as a gamerand the controllers look like they really suck ergonomicaly. I like such curiosities in my gaming room...
It could be interesting shelf candy I guess. well enjoy the hunt hope there aren't any grails for the system that cost an arm and a leg.

Smaller studio's = less bloated budget = more efficiency in funds spend on the game
Not to mention with lower budgets come less micro's filler, and low risk idea's.
This is a good thing.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Error Listings and Rejected Edits 2025
« on: October 04, 2025, 04:37:40 pm »
as we had discussed before like a year ago with FAH coded games
There is no such thing as belgium coded
They should be listed as [FR][NL] like the rest
https://vgcollect.com/item/65580
nobody in europe talks about Belgium when they talk about FAh coded games. did it also sell in belgium sure but in terms of codes it should be FR and NL the 2 countries that have said languages.
Besides belgium doesn't even use it's own language for the most part it's either french or Dutch.
It's about french and holland.
Can we remove the BE tag. and if we do include it a whole can of worms will open with allot of games having tons of regions.
