The baseball game isn't great but I want to own them all. Nioh games feel like a great deal for less than $7 and I've been after Hunt showdown for a while but didn't wanna pay much. Recore is just a console exclusive and I always like grabbing those
My boss races in the ARCA Menards series and over the weekend in Kansas he had Jamie sign my sealed copy of MX World Tour!
Hi all,
Just a quick one.
I am trying to collect a full PAL/NTSC Megadrive/Genesis collection (primarily PAL but with other region exclusives included).
I appreciate this will likely take a lifetime to accomplish but I have set sights on acquiring the “rarest” games first (not necessarily most expensive, although aware that sometimes the two go hand-in-hand).
The lists on the internet are somewhat confusing as ones that some sites list as being ultra rare/scarce, I’ve seen in plentiful supply on eBay, whereas ones that never seem to be mentioned I have yet to find any at all (over the last 18 months of looking).
I’m trying to piece together a list of rare games. I know it’s a hard list to collate as certain games are rarer in other territories (Castlevania for example, seems to be rarer in Japan than EUR/US, or Crusader of Centy, which is relatively common in Europe as Soleil) but I guess I want to boil it down to the top 10 standalone rarities for each region. Mega Man Wily Wars is a good example as relatively scarce in both EUR/Japan.
Im looking for commercially available titles, not ones like Tetris, or the Blockbuster World Championship games.
Any thoughts?
Does anyone know where I can find the following case art for PSP? I can't find the scans anywhere!
All new copies, I opened Sandland to play. Store was awesome!
Hi all! I have been collecting games since, 2012 back when I got an N64 with Mario 64, golden eye and all the Mario party games on it for $100 total. I was there when NES games were common place for a dollar each. I even remember someone getting little Sampson from my local flea market (the same place Pat the NES Punk shot his old videos and same time frame). Nowadays I look at my collection, and feel for the most part it’s complete. There are no games that I really can name that I want to buy. At least ones that are even closely in range of my finances. Even more, as I get older I gain more hobbies, and the sheer space my collection takes up is too much. I have recently been debating about selling off all my old games in exchange for everdrives. I love the games, I really do, and I want to keep playing them, but just don’t see an upside to collecting them all any more especially since how much more everything is worth now. This has been more of a rant and all but I’m just looking for some input from any collectors. TLDR; What makes you all hold onto the collection, and not use ever drives?
Hello, was wondering if anyone here is knowledgeable about console variations, specifically red controllers officially released by microsoft all the way from the 1st xbox. I tried googling but it's giving mixed results with unofficial ones or unreleased stuff and I don't know which source to trust. Also is the xbox one and xbox series share the same model of controllers? they look kinda similar
I'm not sure myself but I can't find any PS5 games more expensive than Inscryption's special reserve.
Might this be the rarest ps5 game in the world currently?
Went to goodwill and before I went in I manifested and I was able to nab all of this with 20% off too :)
I’m just getting into game collecting, but I’m not too keen on displaying and more importantly, my fiancé and I don’t have enough space in our small 1-bedroom apartment for me to display my games anyway.
Does anyone have any recommendations for how to store my games? It’s easy enough to just throw everything in boxes, but I’m afraid I’ll do that and forget that I even own certain games because they’re buried in a closet somewhere. When everything’s on a shelf, it’s very easy to glance/browse and remind yourself what you own, but that won’t happen when games are in boxes. If there’s a good way I could still stay organized please let me know!
