General / Re: Where to buy Playstation(1) replacement game cases in Europe?

Thank you all for your help,

I guess my best bet is to roam second-hand and thrift shops in hope of finding cheap games with cases intact. 
I'm not paying more than a few bucks (euros) per replacement case. Reason I'm asking is that i found Crash Bandicoot 1-3 for 10euros for the whole bundle  , disks in good shape...cases not so much

General / Where to buy Playstation(1) replacement game cases in Europe?

« on: April 12, 2018, 07:17:45 am »

I guess the title says it all. Need help finding where to buy new fat playstation 1 game cases. I bought a few old ps1 games for dirt cheap but the cases where cracked and some even missing parts. Living in Finland Im hoping to buy from Europe or Asia (cheap shipping) found some in US (ebay) but shipping was 60usd for 10 cases....

Had no luck on Amazon or ebay...maybe its just me and my googling skills....

General / Help a newcomer; name your favourite exclusive games

« on: April 04, 2018, 03:50:05 am »

So I started collecting physical copies of games just this month. The systems I currently collect for are:
Wii, Wii U, Ps1, 2, 3 and to some extent 4, on handheld DS and 3DS. I aspire to start collecting on n64 GC maybe but not likely NES, SNES. The problem I have with Nintendo up to Wii is that there is no nostalgia factor in it for me to collect on those systems and frankly, I am happy emulating the games on my Wii (physical copies of GC on Wii).

My philosophy and goal:
I do not want a huge collection I want an exclusive (not necessarily expensive). What I want is to capsule / preserve a few top games for every system mentioned above. “These where (In my opinion) the top 10-20 games on respective system”. What more, I want the games I collect to be exclusives or at least designed for the specific system. So for example even if The Witcher 3 is one of my favourite games I don’t want to collect it as it can be found and was designed for various platforms. (I have it on Steam)

Why do I do this?
Nostalgia is probably the main factor, but I also want to be able to show my kids when they grow up what gaming in my childhood was like. I think what happened to music will happen to games, physical copies is a thing of the past (I also collect vinyl). Who is buying physical PC games these days? Physical games will soon become a rarity.

What do I need help with?
Well I know I’m unaware of games that fit my requirements and would ask for your help. If you find the time, you could answer this post with your favourite exclusives / “designed for” games:   

And if you know of any collector with a similar philosophy feel free to name-drop. I need people to follow

Thank you,
