Picked this up for $56.99 at my local gamestop!

Been going to my local gamestop quite a bit recently and even though they're not a "retro" store they've been getting far better stuff than the retro stores I've been to and I was thrilled to go in there and see this today

My game shelf after 3 months of serious collecting

In August I decided to start a game collection, something I’ve been wanting to do for as long as I can remember. 3 months later, here we are! Mostly focused on rebuilding my DS library, as that was my childhood console. Happy collecting, everyone!

Dreamcast emulator and GameCube

Question I was wondering if anyone can shoot me in the right direction to get an emulated console with all the GameCube games and an emulated console with Dreamcast games.

I’ve searched the interwebs to only find forums of adding emulators and honestly I don’t feel like doing that anymore I just want it pre done lol

Any help would be awesome

Happy Halloween all Here's most of my Silent Hill collection

I hope everyone is picking their favourite horror to play this Halloween.

I thought I'd share my Silent Hill collection which isn't quite complete.

Not pictured are my PS4 with PT installed, my N95 with the silent hill java games and my first copies of Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4 which are packed away elsewhere.

I've included Forbidden Siren and Gravity Rush as they are from the same creator.

Out of all of them the only ones that are sealed Origins on the PS2, the region 1 Silent Hill HD collection and the Book of Memories that isn't BBFC rated.

The PS5 copy of Silent Hill 2 is there, I just reversed the cover.

Atlantic shelving from Amazon.

55 bucks from Amazon, goes together pretty easy. Might buy another one. Could be good for anyone looking to organize their collection.

CGC

Sent two games on October 7th to be graded, supposed to take 10 days, also it shows it’s in their possession. Currently the 31st and contacted them on Instagram but they leave me on seen. Anyone know how long it’s supposed to take ?

First FB Haul. Feel I overpaid a bit ($130CAD) but oh well.

There’s another controller but it’s rough. Plus the COD game has a Tenacious D burned disc lol.

Zelda OOT 1998 Shop Display (Cardboard gold?) lol

So I have this cardboard Ocarina of Time display from back in the day when I worked at a multimedia store here in The Netherlands. I listed it on a local marketplace thinking of making a few bucks. People started bidding 100, 150 Euros and then people started emailing me funny offers (I thought). So I started googling a bit and found a few ads actually asking 2500 for it. 🤪

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1028915908421949/

Is it really worth that much? If so I'd rather keep it for another 20 years, sell it, and buy a flying car or a robot. lol.

The latest trend of kiosks is happening in the form of Redbox machines which have been decommissioned and legally abandoned as result of bankruptcy. If you ever wanted your own video game vending machine now's the time to get them as stores are scrapping them

Found silent hill 2 Xbox mixed in with the DVDs for a good price. I think this was the first time finding a high quality game at the thrift for a steal price. Super excited!

Mystery NES game, please help.

My dad always says that he once played an NES game where you play as a Japanese businessman doing workout dances. Any clue? Note: not Takeshi's challenge or Incredible crisis. Note 2: Came in clear cartridge. Note 3: Was rented from Video Store in England. Please help.

Thanks younger me!

Ive been pulling out and cataloging all my old games. Turns out this is worth quite a bit now according to https://www.pricecharting.com/game/gamecube/zelda-wind-waker-&-ocarina-master-quest.

Not planning on selling, but pretty happy!

Wata -ReHolder

Have a 9.8 A+ Halo 2 limited edition in the old Wata case. I want to reholder it into their new style. If I ship it off to be placed in the new holder, will they regrade the game? Or just slap exact same grading on the new box?
