My small collection

[johnvosh]

New to the forum and just figured I'd show my small collection of older video game systems. Any suggestions as to what games I should get for some of these systems?

Colecovision & games
6800

NES & games
6801

SNES & games
6802

N64 & games
6803

Gamecube & games
6804

[johnvosh]

Sega Genesis & games
6805

PS2 & games
6806

I've also got a PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, and several computers. Also have an Atari Flashback 1 & 2

You need Mega Man 2 for the NES and a repro of Mr. Gimmick!

[bigbacon]

you need a Master System.

[Gamevet]

Nice trackball for the Colecovision. I'd hunt down a copy of Centipede, to put it to use.

Ladybug is a pretty good game for the console too.

[Phaneuf]

I see you have quality titles on the snes.

[Emperor Megas]

Looks like you're going for quality over quantity with the NES and SNES stuff.

Yup, I really only buy the games that I'm going to be interested in playing or have played. I don't have the room to buy all the different games for the systems

That poor, lonely, Gamecube. T_T


I'm not terribly sure what genres you're into. I didn't see many RPGs, so I'm not sure if that means you're not into them, or just can't afford the decent titles. If RPGs are your thing, I'd suggest picking up Wind Waker, Mario RPG for your N64 and Mario RPG: The Thousand Year Door for your Gamecube. Also, Vandal Hearts on the PS1 is a fantastic SRPG.

I'd also strongly recommend Second Sight for either PS2 or Gamecube, as well as the Mega Man Anniversary Collection.

Definitely the best way to go. I used to be an "anything and everything" collector but I found it overwhelming and have slimmed down to systems and games that mean a lot to me and I enjoy playing. Very nice collection you have.

[johnvosh]

Have you ever seen anyone have a collection of mostly or only bad or atleast agreed to commonly to be bad games?

[johnvosh]

Just bought a shelf on sale at Ikea for $20 off, so decided to use it for some of my games.... I still have another shelf that I have to get setup and then I'll post some more pictures!

[TheRetroVideoGameAddict]

A small collection by the looks of it but it's a great foundation for what could be an empire of games in your household. Keep on collecting man, and keep on playing too!

[sloan]

looks like your games really multiplied once the Ikea shelves arrived. Went from 4 NES titles to 50.

I would suggest getting some quality titles to give that Sega CD a workout. 32X would make a welcome addition to that Genesis/CD rig as well.

[johnvosh]

Well, I ended up moving at the end of November and finally got my new game room somewhat setup. All the consoles are running off two power bars that I usually have off, I know have to get some multi-switches for my video connections as I currently just connect the one I am currently using.

And yes, the small black shelf next to the door is my entire current Zelda collection!

Sorry about the quality, it's hard to take a photo in the room as it isn't exactly the biggest. Had to use my fisheye lens to get a decent pic. I will post a better photo of my Zelda collection sometime this week!

[Nionel]

Seems like it's grown quite a bit over the last few months, you've build up quite a nice collection, especially when you consider the overall quality of all the titles you own.

Yes it has grown quite a bit, but it probably won't grow to much this year since the canadian dollar has lost quite a bit against the US dollar, making it a bit more expensive since i got a lot of stuff from ebay.

Nice collection there. My Nintendo stuff is severely lacking. 5 Snes games and a handful of Nes and GameCube games is all.

My main focus is my Neogeo collection and PC-engine for now.

The AVGN?

[Sysop]

I just wish my collection was this organized!

[Captain_N77]

Your collection is coming along nicely! You certainly have more boxed games than I do.

I hope I can have mine organized as well as yours. The problem I have, and it looks like you are running into it as well, is my collection is outgrowing it's shelving. @_@
