I agree with everyone else in that this is one of the best ever.
The only thing that I dont like is the fact that to play a game, he would have to pull it out from under a bunch of others and then lift up those others to put it back. Way too hard to keep tidy, unless you never play them.

im also not digging the way random carts have permanent market or ripped price tags still on them. you think with as large a collection as that he would atleast want his games to be in tip top shape. :hmm:
oh and as a response. im not lame for knocking this guys collection. of course im the only one here who has said they werent incredibly impressed, but at other sites ive seen, 90% of the members said they thought his collection sucked, and i had the manners enough to word it nicely.
honestly its not the actual games that dont impress me (he does have far too many loose titles though)
its the fact that with all those games and systems hes got it all jumbled up hooked into one tiny ass TV. doesnt particularly make any sense.
i would also hate to see the current condition of those saturn game's booklets seeing as how they are lying on there backs.... i bet they are curved and bent as hell x_x

Don't knock him because he doesn't have something that you like- maybe he doesn't like the same things as you.

That is one of the best collections I have ever seen, but by far the most professional looking. I really like all the glass cases, and the shelves built onto the wall. My only complaint is how bad his system set up is. It's not terrible or anything, it just doesn't really compare to how great everything else looks.
To whoever said they like the Wizard Poster, I completely agree!

Been there, done that. Even after I stated I do not sell a game unless it's a duplicate, I was torn apart for having a bunch of crappy games... then the "you're lying" posts started. That's why I only read and post on two boards there now.

04-07-2005, 05:39 PM
The collection is clearly impressive, but not unreal. I do like his layout, and I've got something similar cooking in my basement.
I've got my collection up to 2500 games in about 2.5/3 years time. He's been collecting since 1998, so doing the math, if I keep spending like I do (and I don't get divorced), this will be achievable in a fairly short amount of time.
I've already got my car, house, and picket fence. All that's left is video games ;)
And, it goes without saying, that the gamefaqs and (to a slightly lesser extent) ign/gamespot boards are the slums of the collective video gaming presence on the net. Thus we can immediately disregard any comment originating from them.

My boyfriend pointed out the lack of Neo Geo as well. For some gamers, it's a deal breaker. :P You'd think this guy would AT LEAST have a nice little Neo Geo Pocket Color collection.
But seriously, though, it's very impressive. Almost a little TOO tidy. o_O Gives me the impression that the stuff is more for looks than actual playing. The loose carts don't bother me any. I'd love to have that many NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. games, in any form.

I'm pretty sure anyone can read the comments of most boards. But on with the synopsis:
Anywho, I'm not sure where the hell this negative stuff about his collection at gamefaqs comes from (must be some board I've never been to), but here's what is at the classic gaming board, with maybe 1 'Get teh romz dood' and a 'OMG no life get teh gurlfiend' comment Yes, I just lost some IQ points thinking up those previous phrases:
(Names and Sigs deleted to protect the ignorant... errr... innocent. - Individual comments separated by spaces, the smilies are intentional):
Sorry if this is old, but it's still cool...
http://www.nescapades.com/gameroom.htm
I love the Metroid calender
Urge to steal Sega... rising.
*jealous*
But mostly of his "The Wizard" movie poster... >_> <_<
If he ever gets robbed, I'll personally shed a tear for him...
Yeah he would be screwed if someone robbed him. 90% of his stuff is out of production. He must have one hell of a security system.
HOLY FLEAKIN SCHINT!
I thought i was a collector and I only have around 600 games lol, god knows how many they have, mind you I bet they have no Girlfriend lol.
That is crazy. I wonder how many games they actually have played or beaten ^^
I feel sorry for the guy
Impressive.
"@!#?@!"...!!!!!!! I've never seen anything so...extreme.
I think videogame companies should just give that person some shares of their stock for free, the amount of games in that room is as good an investment as any.
Whoa! This guy is a sick gamer! (What i mean this guy must do nothing but play video games)
He says he has an english version of FF3(j)
http://www.nescapades.com/miscpics.htm
just scroll down a bit
The FF3j is most likely a reproduction cart. I happen to own one too (it freezes a lot though and isn't very playable).
Those Pirate carts he has are wacky! Check out that Mario for Megadrive. Yoshi is creeeeeeepy! - A message from DDCecil - The person who made this comment is an ass. I've actually met him in real life. :angry:
Those pirate systems are absolutely hilarious. And how about that copy of Harry Potter for the NES?
It reminds me of that one site I saw (Red Eyes, I think) whose owner had a copy of "Rockman 5". It turned out that the game was a pirate of Darkwing Duck for the NES with the sprite of Darkwing swapped with the sprite of Mega Man. All of Darkwings moves remained, though (ie. Mega Man shot gas at enemies). It was funny, seeing as I don't think Mega Man has ever taken on any Disney villians.
Where the hell did he get those cupboards for his PS2 and X-Box games? Looks like something out of a shop...
Did you see this on [H]ardOCP?:P
Yah, that is quite the collection. He/she could get a nice chunk of change if he/she sold that. (Gibby is a guy or girl name?)
That guy is my hero....well, basically just because he has a Road Rash game. :D
What a waste of space, a PC occupying not even a corner of the room can house all of that.
SILENCE, HEATHEN!
Seriously, sometimes you can't beat the feel of the actual cartridge/CD/whatever itself. Sure, I could have all my Nintendo and Sega games on one simple computer... but it just doesn't feel the same.
Anyways, now for a reenactment of my reaction of seeing this:
"Ho... Holy... Mother... Of... ****!!! ... Oh... my... ****ing... gawd... This man is my hero!"
Whoa, that was amazing. I'm honestly wondering what all the stuff in that room would go for on Ebay. Probably more money than a lot of my friend's annual salaries.
I want that PS4 box. Anyway have fun dusting!
a: he should buy a better tv
b. wonder if he still lives with mother or father or if it's
his own place, because if it isnt, he could sell that lot
and buy a house.
The End.

LUE is Life, The Universe and Everything. A board that could best be described as thousands of 13 year olds acting like idiots, simple as that.

I got a chuckle out of that, and if someone said it about my collection (even though mine is nothing compared to the one we are talking about) I would love it.

Get a life. That's the most overused phrase, anytime someone doesnt like what another person does in there free time, they tell them to "get a life".

Anyone of us collectors put a lot of time, effort and love into our collections. We are proud of what we have accomplished, whether it be a beginner with a hundred games and a handful of consoles, or the veterans with thousands of games and too many consoles to list. No one has the right to dump on what we are proud of. To me it doesn't matter what you collect, as long as you have a passion for it. I love Nintendo (obviously) and don't care too much for Sony (although I don't rule it out entirely) but I won't crap on someone who loves Sony, because that's their thing.

I love the guy's organization. I'm wondering if he's sorted stuff alphabetically after doing so by label. Anybody bothered to figure that out? And did anybody name all the consoles? I can't.
The other thing I'm curious about: I actually received this as a link from non-gamer friends of mine. Is this link making the internet rounds?

Personally I think it's a nice setup... I wouldn't do that myself, but I can appreciate it for what it is and what he's trying to achieve.
What does bug me is all the haters of this guy's setup. I've seen this on several other boards and it got ragged on endlessly. What's up with all the hating these days? What's with all the big d*ck contests? Oh yeah that ain't nothing, he's got no NEO GEO! So what? Not everyone worships the NEO like you do.
Maybe he doesn't like neo or thinks it's too expensive? So what? He likes NES games. Maybe, he likes to be more frugal.. I don't know. Who cares if your games cost so much more. He's probably happy with what he's got.. that's all that matters - Not impressing your hatin ass..
He has a site to share what he likes with other people with similar interests. If you don't like it just keep it to yourself.
I can understand hating on neo-geo.com... that place is great and all, but lots of egos. I can understand it on gamefaqs.... lots of um, mentally challenged there. But not here on digitpress. This is THE HOME for that sort of thing. Don't diss it here.

I also don't know why people are hating on his collection. It is one of the best out there (I would imagine), and seems to be well varied as well.
Maybe he isn't interested in Neo Geo. I personally am not interested in it at all. If I won 100 billion dollars tomorrow, I still wouldn't have a Neo Geo, and many other consoles in my collection.

Maybe he doesn't like neo or thinks it's too expensive? So what? He likes NES games. Maybe, he likes to be more frugal.. I don't know. Who cares if your games cost so much more. He's probably happy with what he's got.. that's all that matters - Not impressing your hatin ass..
Neo Geo Pocket Color games are cheap, and it would be a heck of a lot cheaper to get a complete US collection of them than all those NES games had cost, I bet. Plus, I really can't imagine any type of gamer not finding at least ONE game to love on the NGPC; it's got platformers, shooters, fighters, RPGs, sports, just about everything a person could want.
It by no means makes the guy's collection bad, but I think it's silly to have such a broad collection yet lack anything SNK. If I knew the guy, I'd definitely recommend it. Of course, my collection is lacking key pieces too, but my collection is nowhere near as huge. If I ever reach that point, I'd like to hope I'll have at least a little of just about everything significant.
Anyway, chill out. There's been hardly any criticism here at all. o_O Although, I do think in this situation people would be a bit more inclined to criticize. The guy didn't come here and personally link to his collection and ask for feedback. Since he'll likely not see these messages, there's no harm in posting whatever our own opinions may be, whether positive or negative. I'm sure we all could come up with various criticisms of the collections we see posted here all the time, but the people who personally post or link to them themselves are seeking encouragement and praise, so I think that's what they deserve. Even if the guy did find this topic, I don't think anything we could say would scare him off from collecting. Heck, maybe he'd take to heart the few comments and alter his collection, making it even more enjoyable. At the very least, our criticism is a lot more constructive than "get a life". :P

he has no neo geo collection
no neo = lame :monkey:
I *personally* find this in bad taste.. but whatever. I understand people have the right to express their opinions. You might say I was expressing my "counter" opinion.
I admit, I did get a little hostile in my post. But I'm just sick and tired of the hatin from other boards. Last thing I wanted to see was hating here. But hey, people are people and this board ain't a perfect utopia... MAH BAD. YUP, at his level it's his duty to get SNK goods. What the hell was I thinking?
Phew, good thing I got a lot of neo shit around/stashed away... or my collection would be the L4M3z0rZzZzZzZz. o_O O_o :P
