I finally completed my Neo Geo CD collection!

[Bibliophile]

It has finally happened. With my recent acquisition of Ironclad / Chotetsu Brikinger, I finally completed my Neo Geo CD collection. According to the price guides, there are 100 CD games: 96 regular games and 4 special editions (Art of Fighting 3 Box Edition, KOF 96 Collection, KOF 98 w/99 calendar, and KOF 98 Special Box Edition). I now own all 100 games, plus Last Hope NGCD, and a Neo Geo CD carrying case. In addition, I also have two boxed top-loading CD's, a boxed front-loader, and a boxed CDZ.

It took me 7 months and only $2167.44. According to the prices guides (which are outdated), the 100 CD's alone are worth between $3270 (low) and $4970 (high), so I think it is a pretty good investment.

Plus, as an added bonus, the above collection is just the Japanese versions of the games. I also have 29 US/English versions of games, and my next goal is to complete a collection of all English versions of games.

[heybtbm]

Impressive.

[smork]

Nice! I'm only about 10 or so away from my complete collection as well, none of them super rare or expensive (got my Brikinger two years ago, and found my Zintrick a few weeks ago).

I'm delayed a bit since I am only getting games with the obi. Must get around to finishing soon!

Nice collection, though -- looks great!

[Coldguy]

Damn....that is good. Ever think of using on of the machienes to create a neo geo arcade machiene?

[darkhades]

Very nice collection, congrats!

[Dangerboy]

As a Neo fan, and a "must have all games' fan, May I adorn you with a special congrats:

That is mother f**kin' PIMP.

So, so beautiful.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Hm... Congrats. You'll be getting a PM from me soon. ;)

[roushimsx]

Wow, good job on putting it together so quickly and for such a killer price. Very impressive stuff. :)

[airraid]

extremely impressive!

this is more impressive to me than any of the Famicom or PC-Engine collections I've seen, because Neo Geo CD brings with it, arcade quality gaming at home, and for a reasonable price with CDs instead of carts.

congrats on having such an awesome collection.

[Gamingking]

Yeah, It's impressive.
Nice collection.

[Hawksmoor]

Kudos Bibliophile. That is an awesome collection - I'm pretty envious right now. I don't have that kind of money to spend in such a short span of time, but even if I did I doubt I could have completed a Neo CD collection in just seven months. What's your favorite out of the 100?

[savageone]

Very nice, I don't recall ever having seen the NGCD carrying case. Is that official SNK?

[DigitalSpace]

Awesome pics. Congrats!

[snes_collector]

Very cool, congrats!

[Bibliophile]

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean connecting a Neo Geo CD up to a cab? I am not sure why anyone would want to, when most Neo Geo CD games are available on MVS.

[Bibliophile]

Very nice, I don't recall ever having seen the NGCD carrying case. Is that official SNK?

As far as I can tell, yes.

[kataboom]

omg thats AWESOME! congrats! can i come over & play em! lol

[Trebuken]

Cool. I don't think I've seen anyone claim a complete NGCD collection before.

Nice.

Where did you find most of the games?

[Drag0nsfyre]

Very cool! congrats! :D :cool:

[Dreamc@sting]

I am truely jealous - NGCD is one of my favorite consoles and one of the only ones I havn't began a collection for, but seeing yours completed may just get me up to start it!

Awesome job on completing it in a short time period! :hail:

I haven't even played half of them yet. Some of them are still sealed. And even if they weren't, I work full time and go to school full time (grad school at that), so I don't have much time for gaming these days. But it would probably be a shooter like Metal Slug or Viewpoint. I'm not a big fan of most SNK fighters.

[smork]

What's your favorite out of the 100?

Not that I was asked ;) :

My two faves are Brikinger and Neo Drift Out. It sucks that Brikinger is so expensive and difficult to find coz it's a great game. And Neo Drift Out is just the prefect little arcade racer...

[Bibliophile]

Cool. I don't think I've seen anyone claim a complete NGCD collection before.

Nice.

Where did you find most of the games?

I got them on either ebay or the Neo-geo.com forums.

[Policenaut]

You made it look easy! :) That is a truly impressive achievement dude, hats off for such a wonderful collection! Now, I am tempted to sell the AES and jump into the NGCD wagon.

Wait till you try the NGCD versions of Last Blade 1/2. That'll change you mind right back. I'm pretty patient, but those loading times are excruciating!

[Adol]

Congrats,next step now is to have the full factory sealed set, as i do.
I notice you're missing the King of Fighters 95 Special Set.

What is the full factory sealed set? Can you post a pic of it?

Also, can you post a pic of the KOF 95 Special Set?

[Policenaut]

Can you post a pic of it?

You'll be amazed.

[djbeatmongrel]

[Bibliophile]

Very nice collection, Adol. However, I was under the impression that the KOF 95 Collection was just a set of art, and that no game was actually included. Is there a CD included in there?

[Adol]

There is King of fighters 95,IIRC.

[Bibliophile]

Do you have an extra one you want to sell?

[Adol]

No,unfortunately i don't
