Hey,

Since I purchase games for colllection, I only like picking up games complete with box and instructions (I end up buying complete versions of every game I get without either, so I figure I should get it in mint in the first place). For NES, SNES and especially N64 games, though, it's very difficult to find games with their box and instructions. Where do you guys have the best luck finding cheap, complete copies of games for these systems? Obviously ebay is the last, most expensive, resort.

Btw, I'm cure; I've been reading for a few months and have bought my VGB and DigitPress guide, but I haven't posted yet. My collection contains an NES, SNES, 64, Master System (I need the connections for these if anyone has an extra lying around :) ), Saturn, DC, PS2. Most of my collection is more recent (15 DC, 17 PS2 + 8 PSX) but I try and pick up anything I see cheap (especially if it's a Puzzle Fighter II).

I can't stand incomplete games myself so I don't buy it unless it is complete. Complete NES games seem to be kind of hard to get anywhere cheap in mass quantities.

Funcoland should have few of their games in the box and sometimes with instructions. I dont suggest planet games, since i recently went in for some genesis games, and they had around 50 or 60, and none of them in boxes. Super NES and N64 would be EXTREMELY hard to find boxes for, since the boxes are paper, and tend to get thrown away. The sega genesis would be easiest to get the boxes and instructions for because the boxes are hard, and dont get thrown away easily, plus the instructions have a special place in the box and are kept there. I collect for NES SNES and GENESIS, and i have over 50 Genesis game boxes, (about 100 games) and 6 or 7 SNES game boxes, (about 75 games.) You should buy a Genesis. they go cheap for about 13 bucks. And the games are easy to find too.

The only extras I have are:

Box/Manual: Killer Instinct Gold (with mini card) and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

I've got a few extra manuals of Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina, Legend of Zelda: Majora, Wrestlemania 2000, Star Wars Racer.

I've got a whole stack of boxes and manuals that I'm not using, but I've been debating on wether or not I'll start collecting N64 games. I'll PM you guys with a list if I change my mind though.
