Rate my Collection

[sega dude]

This is my complete console game collection. I have a handheld collection as well, but only the console games are pictured.









My first famicom game, attached to the Gyromite famicom converter.

Rate it on what?

^^^ what he said.

I mean, do you have a bigger goal or are you happy with what you have? It's a rather subjective question. I think you need more SNES games, but that's because I'm a SNES junkie. Others will surely have their own opinions.

Well, to be frank, if you're trying to impress people with the number and selection of games you have, I doubt you'll receive much of a positive response here. If on the other hand, you're focused solely on gathering fun games that you want to play, then it's a whole different matter. Some people in these forums have humongous collections that include complete mint copies of games (not just loose carts with torn labels) and true rarities (which can sometimes be real duds, game-wise, but are valuable due to their low production numbers).

At least, if you are just starting to collect games and need pointers, you'll find many people here who can guide you with advice.

Oh, and by the way, it's good form to introduce yourself first before posting around. You'll find that Introduce yourself! thread in the top of this sub-forum (Classic Gaming).

A decent start, reminds me of my first 6 months collecting games. You have a long road ahead, but you will get there eventually. Like others have asked, what exactly are your goals? If you don't have any specific goals, which system do you prefer to collect for?

For me, a huge part is presentation, and that is pretty lacking in your collection. Maybe get a jump on things and grab a shelving system to start getting those carts and whatnot neatly placed

Pretty much this.
How long have you been collecting? I ask because I didn't start "collecting" my games until the very late 90s. Before then I would buy, sell, and buy others. Once I began earning disposable income in my teen years, I flea marketed more frequently and stopped cannibalizing my collection for the sake of new games (so many NES and Genesis games I regret selling now, but I digress), so my collecton grew quite rapidly.

Not seeing a lot that's particularly rare/valuable here (though you do have a few good'uns like SoM), but keep at it, check out yard sales, flea markets, thrifts, etc vigilantly and you'll come across deals like the fabled $1 CIB Crusader of Centy or $5 Earthbound... they do happen, trust me!
Of course as others have said, to get the most enjoyment, you should collect what you want to play, not necessarily what you think will net you a buck or two down the road. Best of luck in your endeavors!
