General / Re: Consoles you had the most and least fun collecting for?

I think that every console is fun to collect, especially the most easy to encounter in my region.

The least fun are these with most difficult to see around, like Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan and complete GBA Games.

When I started to collect, my focus was Dreamcast and Nintendo 64. After that, when collection expand for other consoles, put my focus in collect fighting games. Then, since 2010, I collect everything that I want to play or liked to play when was young.

General / Re: How Many Collectors Only Collect What They Enjoy?

Where I live (Brazil) it's very hard to have a massive collection, there rare opportunities to buy a game in mint condition for a reasonable price, everything is expensive and money is very short, I just manthem this hobby since my childhood for a question of sanity. Then, all my games has a reason to be here in my collection.

I like them too much, specially the old Tony Hawk's games, specifically the 1 and 2 for Dreamcast. But there are many others on PS1, it's sad today they practically disappeared from shelves.

General / Re: What rules govern your collecting?
« on: July 16, 2020, 11:55:13 am »
My rules are very simple:

1st - I need to be really interested in game, be for a childhood memory or to be played in the future. I don't buy just for the oppotunity.

2nd - Where I live (Brazil) the prices in general are very high, some cartridges are a little more affordable, but most of 90% are very expensive. Then for me, 30~40S is the limit price for a game, I don't pay more than this.

3rd - Carts for SNES, N64 and Gameboy is ok to be loose, for all the rest I need the case (at least) or I don't buy.

4th - The game must be realiable, here there are so much games dirty or destroyed, what need an extra careful.

5th - I try to pick just NTSC-U games, but if this version is expensive i don't mind to get a NTSC-J, my Saturn games are only japanese for an example.

I have few collectors edition, and generally don't buy games just after the release, cuz 60$ here is like a 250~300$ for us. It's crazy how the actual government put the country into a deep black hole, to say a minimum. :/

I will list the some games that are really bad, not these that I don't like.

Dragon's Lair on NES
The SNES version of Pit Fighter
Terminator 2 on SNES
Superman 64 that is hors-concours
Aquaman on Gamecube
Criticom on Saturn
MTV Sports: Skateboarding on Dreamcast
Sonic Shuffle on Dreamcast
Sonic Heroes on PS2, there are so many glitches
Sonic the Hedgehog on PS3

I love Sonic games, but these are some play really bad.

« on: June 24, 2020, 08:59:00 am »
I play games of any genre, but, JRPG, puzzles, arcade racing, platform and fighting games are my favorites.

I don't like too much sandbox, WRPG, realistic sports, real racing simulators and play any game online.

I'm a magazine collector too, and have some Nintendo Power and others american and UK issues, but, being a brazilian logically my collection is focused on the magazines released in my country.

Recently i made a instagram, to post some of my book, magazine and game collections, and other things, it's a fun thing to do in quarantine.
