Classic Video Games / Re: Anyone going for a complete set?

« on: October 29, 2018, 08:25:26 pm »

I'm going for a complete NA run of unique Xbox 360 games. I'm not doing a master set, but I do collect some cover variants. I'm down to 2 games, both released in the last month or so. Fifa 19 and Just Dance 2019. Fifa wasn't released in the States, but was released in Mexico from the look of it. I like 360 because it was the console that really got me back into gaming after nearly 20 years away, and nothing is extremely rare or extremely expensive.

I miss the 80s. The movies, the music, the video games. Pop culture really was at a great place then. Anyone else?

I went through Elem, JR high, and part of HS in the 80's. It was an amazing time to be a kid.

Classic Video Games / Re: Do You Own a Dreamcast? What Game Drew You In?

« on: October 03, 2018, 06:35:29 pm »

A friend said "I have a dreamcast, if you want it". I didn't even know what it was (Wasn't into games at that stage in my life) but he gave it to me w/ some games for free. I still have it, played a bunch of shadow man, Phantasy Star Online, and Timestalkers back in the day. I have more games for it that I intend to play.
I think it's a great system.

For PS3 and PS4 I have my imports in with my regular games, since they all play on the same system.

For Xbox 360- If it plays on my NTSC console, It goes with my main games. I do have maybe 10-12 imports that I keep with my XB1 games, since that's the console they play on. They are not mixed in of course, just put after reg Xb1 games.

I join websites I have little real interest in, and make pointless thread after pointless thread. I usually try to pick a pretty inane topic because that keeps me extra entertained.

Personally, I would prefer if unofficial games could be in a separate category.

Absolutely!

Mostly Single player here. I HATE online VS, or PvP games. I enjoy co-op immensely depending on what it is. If it's a horde type game mode I generally don't like it as much, but games with drop in campaign co-op like Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide I love.

Not at all, that would be petty. I'd probably thing "Dang, why can't that happen to me, or good on them for getting such a great deal"

Congrats on 1K!

I'm at just over 3K, probably 1/2 of which are 360 games, lol. I still need to add a lot of physical PC games (Of the ones I tried to go through, 1/2 weren't even in the database...so I need to add a lot- only went through 1/3 of mine as it is) If you see my doubled on 360, it's because they are a variant I haven't had time to add to here yet....I don't actually catalog my duplicates. Probably know of 30-40 variants I don't have that aren't in the system as well. Still need to add NES and SNES too...shoot, need to make time. Probably need to add my game guides too....omg too much crap around here.

I'm fairly new to the site, so still a work in progress.

« on: July 11, 2018, 02:43:23 am »

My house is starting to resemble a library. If anything, I want a different house that is easier to implement shelving designs in.

Literally the only thing I'm looking for right now in a house. Been looking for over a year(I'm in a shitty market as well) and no matter what I check out, I can't see my game room in any of these homes. Worse, my collection has grown so big it now needs two rooms now, or one gigantic room, so it's making it even harder.

Well... I didn't say it was because of video games... I have 15 shelves in my living room just for my movie collection.

I have other collections too. X-men comics, Laserdiscs, CED/Videodisc, MTG/YGO/Pokemon cards, baseball cards, even an HD-DVD collection. I've even started a small collection for stand-up comedy vinyl records. I should just have a house custom built for all my collections.

When the house across the street from me was on the market a couple years ago...I joked about buying it... 1 house would be that of a normal working adult, and one would be a giant kid/teen/man-cave, haha

I thought colecovision controllers felt pretty good.

These are the exact same game/version...it has a double sided cover...someone just flipped the cover and made it a new entry

https://vgcollect.com/item/16788 (Normal)
https://vgcollect.com/item/118380 (Cover just flipped over)

Also- these are the same (Top ones should be the real entries)
Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

No, the Mass Effect variation exists in sealed form, so it is allowed as a separate entry. This is only allowed for any game that was sold with an flippable cover showing the "other side" in the sealed package. You can see from the item image that it is a sealed game. I was able to confirm this existing at the time I updated that entry. There was one in Ebay sold at the time.

PS: those Pro Evolution Soccer dupes were created because none of the existing entries have the correct titles on them.

You do realize how easy it is to re-seal a PS3 game, right? I'd be curious to see if any have ever been seen in retail stores.

Edit: If it's legit, there should be an Xbox 360 version as well. Those are a lot more difficult to fake a new/sealed copy of.

Well someone has it in their collection, maybe you can ask for them to post here once the email gets fixed.

I just looked at my PS3 and 360 copies. The female side doesn't even have a barcode....the barcode is only on the male side....I'd like to see a picture of the female side with a barcode.
