General / Re: How Many Stopped Playing Your Consoles Due To Crashes

« on: March 23, 2023, 07:33:52 pm »

Sorry to hear about you giving up your collection, I've never have my games crash unless the internet shuts off because someone accidentally unplugs the router but this rarely happens.

General / Re: Which game or console (if any) made you fall in love with gaming again?

« on: March 13, 2023, 09:40:06 pm »

The Xbox 360 was the last console that made me excited about playing games. I still like to play but not as much as I used to, Other consoles that made me fall in love with gaming were the nes, snes, genesis, dreamcast, ps1, ps2 and original xbox. I think it's just because I have more responsibilities to take care of now and less time for playing. The newer consoles are great but don't leave me with the same excitement.

« on: March 08, 2023, 06:24:31 pm »

let me see I think I have got at least 100 dollars worth of value by playing these games and would find them worthy of a 100$ price tag.Cause I have played them a ton.

Shinning Force 1&2
Culdacept
Brigandine
Fallout 3&4
Oblivion
Just Cause
Disgaea 1,4&5
Final Fantasy 2,3&10


I hppe this is what you mean


I am surprised by my answers cause almost none of these games are sought after or valuable with the exception of Brigandine or FF2,3 lol.

General / Re: Rarest Items in Game Collection?

« on: February 22, 2023, 07:38:54 pm »

My most valuable item is probably my CiB EarthBound, but that's not nearly as rare as most would have you believe.

My rarest video game would probably be Super Copa for SNES, or my sealed Majesco White-Label Contra III.

My rarest video-game-related item is likely the vinyl in-store advertising banner I have for Jurassic Park on Sega Genesis/CD and Game Gear.

Yes! I wish I could find Super Copa definitely a rare Snes game.

I pretty sure my rarest video game system is FM Towns Marty cib and I have a cib  Splatterhouse for it. I have other games for it too that are probably rarer but Splatterhouse is the most recognizable.

I have a Dreamcast 3 ring binder that came from the Sega Corporate Offices. When Sega was planning the release of the Dreamecast the office personal used them in meetings. I got mine from a salesman after he left the company.

I also got a Sega Dreamcast kiosk from same salesman.

Neon X-box 360 sign

PlayStation3 test system used by game companies to develop games

For the Gameboy Advanced Zelda the MinishCap not for resale given out at E3.

Copy of GI Joe Atlantis Factor for Nes signed by YouTubers like Avgn, Mike Matei, Pat Contri

As far as so called rare / valuable games I guess Sega Saturn Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic knight Rayearth, House of the Dead ect.. the Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Persona 1&2 for Ps1 Kuon, Rule of Rose, Haunting Ground for Ps2 A Sealed copy of BattleToads Nes. And many more but not really sure some of that stuff should count sure it's expensive but is it really rare? (except the Saturn stuff) anyway I love it all the rare / valuable
and the common / wortless every item in my collection is important to me in one way or another.

Classic Video Games / Re: What are your most wanted or top ten wanted Sega Genesis games

« on: February 17, 2023, 03:56:45 pm »

I have most of my top 10 Genesis games.
The one I haven’t found is Mutant League Hockey. I’ll get it eventually.
I’m still looking for Moonwalker. Punisher will have to be a stroke of luck.

1) Castlevania Bloodlines
2) Contra Hard Corp
3) Rocket Knight Adventures
4) Sparkster
5) Mutant League Football
6) TMNT Hyperstone Heist
7) Major Chaos
Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker
9) Batman and Robin
10) The Punisher (I’m hoping I find it in the wild)

Turf was your # 7 supposed to be General Chaos? I hope so cause if not I need another game I never heard of.

Some that come to mind...

OutRun
Space Harrier 2
Lotus
Midnight Resistance
Flicky
Mystic Defender
Dino Land
Zero Tolerance
Mazin Saga
Forgotten Worlds

I've only ever casually collected Genesis over the years. You never stumble over the interesting Genesis carts. It's much like Super Nintendo collecting, the shovelware was WAY more mass produced than anything solid. You'll see tons of kid movie tie-ins, game shows, sports games and Sonic 2, but the above listed? I've rarely sighted any of them in nearly 15 years of looking through stacks of Genesis carts. There's a lot of games you just never find while hunting, and I've never gone to eBay for Genesis stuff.

Year’s ago I saw many of all of those games except for Dino Land I have never seen that one in all my years of collecting. But it’s has been years since I’ve seen any of those other games now. Like you it’s mostly Sonic and sports and other games nobody wants like Greendog!

After prices went up and the market basically drying up, I had stopped buying Genesis games for quite awhile. My list is mainly special editions or baseball games. I did not put any of the Demo or Game Factory carts on this list.

- Beavis and Butt-Head (big box)
https://vgcollect.com/item/170112
- Captain America and The Avengters (Collector's Pin Inside!)
https://vgcollect.com/item/133742
- Castlevania Bloodlines
- Hardball III (Win a Trip label)
- Mario Lemieux Hockey (Puck Inside)
https://vgcollect.com/item/133739
- Mutant League Hockey
- PGA Tour Golf II (7 Courses / It's In the Game / Limited Edition)
https://vgcollect.com/item/115512
- Quackshot (Sega Quality label)
https://vgcollect.com/item/173175
- R.B.I Baseball 93
- Maximum Carnage box set
https://vgcollect.com/item/109392

Even so some of these are still pretty pricey I can't believe how expensive cib genesis games have shot up in price. So many games are way over what I'm comfortable paying for now.

At the moment- I only have 7 Genesis games on my wishlist.  I've done pretty good at tracking down all the Genesis games I've wanted in the past few years.  I may add more in the future.  No particular order on any of these.

Crusader of Centy
Grind Stormer
Hook
M.U.S.H.A.: Metallic Uniframe Super Hybrid Armor

Not sure I ever heard of Onslaught I'll have to check it out.

I've been focusing a bit on Sega lately myself. Always was more of a Nintendo/PlayStation guy back then, so I only really paid attention to the big Sega exclusives for a long time. I was lucky enough to get my #1 and #2 Genesis games recently (The Punisher & Thunder Force III).

My top 10:
1. Elemental Master
2. Phelios
3. Sol-Deace
4. Gaiares
5. Whip Rush
6. Fireshark
7. Mega Turrican
8. The Adventures of Batman & Robin
9. The Pirates of Dark Water
10. Road Rash

I also need a few from your list as well but they didn't make my most wanted

1.Punisher
2.Truxton
3.Sparkster
4.Growl
5.Grind Stormer
6.Chiki Chiki Boys
7.Air Busters
8.Arcus Odyssey
9.Sagaia
10.Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel

Modern Video Games / Re: Just ordered a Series X for 350. Buyers remorse. Will I regret it?

« on: February 06, 2023, 08:07:46 pm »

Thanks everyone for commenting. I feel better about it as a whole. With next gen I gotta look at it more as a upgraded One X and not necessarily a new experience. The backwards compatability and the ability to jump right to game from a cold start is nifty. Its a powerful little beast

350? You got it for 200 less than retail after taxes. If it's new you got a steal, if it's used you still got a steal.

It is pre owned but the previous owner took well care of it. Not even a scratch and runs quietly. I have a month return window and i'm gonna opt for the 2 year insurance from CPS which I never do usually but with this it was only 29.99 and if it happens to have indisclosed wear I will be covered. But it's a relief to know I got a good deal. It was a big decision. I always bloom late with next gen. 


 Anyone got hidden gems or xbox exclusives I might overlook? I love the textured triggers of the new controller.

Alan Wake is a must have imo.

« on: February 06, 2023, 07:53:57 pm »

I'm happy with mine. I've had no problems with mine. Games run and look great on it. And the best part is the backwards compatibility going back to the original Xbox and making most games look and/or run better.

And to clear up an earlier point brought up: Only Series X specific games have to be run on the internal hard drive or from a Series X Expansion Card. An external hard drive will play games directly from it if they are Xbox One, 360, or Original Xbox games.

Cool I thought  they had to be moved thanks Doom! My bad
