Complete Japanese MD & 32X Collection

[Adol]

Since some people did not "believe" me when i posted a scan of each "rare" japanese MD game, when i told i own EVERY Japanese MD release,as well as 32 X release ( and you'll see i own too MANY other complete collections ) i decided to post here the same pictures i posted on a french forum whent hey asked me to.
If you can read japanese,you'll see that i indeed have ALL japanese md releases,as well as some "unreleased/homebrew"games such as Divine Sealing, Tekken VS Street Fighter,etc..i classify games by japanese alphabetic..

I own around 15-20 COMPLETE collections,this is not my single one

[felix]

I never doubted you, but please let me be the first to say "ooooohhhhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

:yipes:

[Oobgarm]

:yipes: :eek 2:

Highly impressive.

[THATinkjar]

Holy muffin-velvet waste products of the 31st century! That's astonishing. Congratulations on being so utterly awesome!

Do you have a room-of-doom to show us? :D

[Adol]

No,i don't
itis VERY easy to get a "room of doom" full of not valuable games..i could buy lots of nes games for $1 a piece..

This MD&32X complete collection is worth $30000

and my complete PC engine Hucard/SCD/SCD complete collection is worth the same price or so,considering i do have around 250 games factory sealed in this collection..the 7 caravan hucards, Darius alpha complete with 3d Glasses AND certificate Letter AND Nec Avenue Padded Envelope...i have too some valuable turbo duo games like Dynastic Hero...

As told earlier,i do have around 20 complete collections...i'll be able to post later pics of other collections...

but i can' make ONE room of doom with all i have...it'd be more like an APARTMENT of doom :)

that is just awesome! may i ask what job do you do have as you must be a very well off person!

[AFGiant]

jiggawow! I am humbled :hail:

[Adol]

I'm a 25 years old student...
I did get this collection between my 18-22 years..i did buy/sell stuff on Ebay during those years for paying my games,that's all

[towerofsong]

That is incredible, absolutely incredible
*applauds*

[Cauterize]

heh awesome!

One last question, do you have Tetris for MD? (maybe even a pirate copy?)

[Dark_Sol]

Holy shit!
My GAWD!!!
OMFG!!!
@_@ @_@ x_x x_x :hmm: X_x

[Adol]

Yes,of course i do have a "pirate" Tetris for MD,the "common"pirate you can see,worth $100 or so...

I do know existence of Tetris cart for $4000 or so,but i still don't consider it much legitimate than pirate Tetris..for me,even if the box is nicer,there is instructions,etc...it is not official either.[/list]

[anagrama]

The last pirate Tetris on eBay sold for about £10, not $100.

And I don't know how the genuine one can't be considered 'official' - sure, it was never released, but it was programmed & manufactured by Sega.

But hey, Tetris or no Tetris, that is one sick collection ;)

[Adol]

I took the 10000 Yens price i generally it goes for in japanese auctions,when it comes with box...
Whatever..i do have this one,not the 400000 yens one :)

But i saw some Maximum Carnage going for 120000 Yens...Batman Forever for 70000...and WWF Raw for 60000 EASILY...

I spoke with an UK collector,and he thought such complete collection ( along with all Mega CD jpn games ) was worth 20000£...which would do around $40000

That's why i said $30000,it's more realistic...considering i do have all hardware too ( MD,MD2,Mega Cd,Mega CD2,Mega Jet,etc..even the famous Aiwa Mega CD Radio/Tape/CD player in box,which is worth $700 easily )

[THATinkjar]

This MD&32X complete collection is worth $30000

I seriously doubt anyone would pay 30,000 dollars for this. It *might* be worth that in your eyes, it *might* be worth that in mine, but you'll never get that.

Anyone care to disagree with me on this one?

[anagrama]

Don't worry, I'm not doubting the overall value ;)

And I'm surprised a pirate cart fetches that much in Japan - I'll have to keep an eye out for them now to try trading with my Japanese contacts :)

Also, I heard from someone else that another genuine Tetris changed hands a while back for around 900,000 yen (!) in a private deal, but I don't know how reliable that is.

[MegaDrive20XX]

*claps* That's all I gotta say man....I'm speechless as it is...

[Dark_Sol]

Too bored to check but do you also have japanese Comix Zone and Gauntlet?

[Adol]

I agree very few ppl on this earth would pay such money at one TIME
However,by selling my games one by one,meaning the 418 MD games,the 18 32x ones,the 114 or so Mega CD ones ( and many are Factory Sealed ), plus some rare unreleased ones ( i do have some rare Sega CD/Mega CD prototypes like Force Striker Alpha ), and ALL pieces of hardware,i do think i could get $30000 yes
That sounds realistic...just consider 8 acclaim games would be worth $5000 easily...

[anagrama]

I seriously doubt anyone would pay 30,000 dollars for this. It *might* be worth that in your eyes, it *might* be worth that in mine, but you'll never get that.

Anyone care to disagree with me on this one?

That's assuming that you're selling in one bulk lot which would be pretty stupid since it seriously limits the potential buyers - like anything else, the maximum return would be had by breaking it down and selling piece by piece.
Without sitting down and working out a rough total, I don't think $30K would be too far off the mark - there's a heck of a lot of pricy JP MD games ;)

[anagrama]

Too bored to check but do you also have japanese Comix Zone and Gauntlet?

It says 'Complete', doesn't it?

[Adol]

Yes of course,just check the pics...COmix Zone is in the "Ko"section...and gauntlet in "ka/ga"one

Consider too TIME it'll take to find all those games...shipping for each of those...
$30000 isn't that high...remember that would include all japn mega cd games,and all sega hardware...

[hydr0x]

HOLY @_@

i knew you french collect JAP games, but that's just WOW

am i the first one to say this?

go send a pm to Joe (digitpress) and take over those damn JAP lists :D

[THATinkjar]

You are probably right. I was thinking of one bulk lot purchase. I guess I shouldn't have been. My mistake. Great collection anyway!

[swlovinist]

First of all, awsome collection. There is no doubt in my mind that your collection is impressive and valuable, but remember...collectors are cheap bastards always looking for a good deal. What something is worth and what you can sell a collection for are two different things.


I recommend you contact aHollywood star or someone in Beverly Hills if you want to sell it :D

[digitalpress]

go send a pm to Joe (digitpress) and take over those damn JAP lists :D

WAYYYY ahead of you there, hydr0x.

I contacted Adol long ago about managing the MD Japan section. He's a little too busy for that project but he's been great at answering questions when we have them. One of our many silent consultants.

And again Adol: your collection is remarkable. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us!

[THATinkjar]

collectors are cheap bastards always looking for a good deal

LOL Are you talking about Cauterize? LOL

[Ed Oscuro]

This MD&32X complete collection is worth $30000

I seriously doubt anyone would pay 30,000 dollars for this.
If I crunched the numbers and had the cash at hand...I might! Dunno if that figure's spot-on though.

Runark...heh, nice. Lots of good stuff in there. What's the condition of the games, on average?

If i had 30000 i'd gladly buy it and stare at it all days long. LOL

I'm pretty sure all these JP games are in perfect condition.Japanese take care of their games.

[Balusilustalu]

That, is *THE* coolest collection that ever graced these boards. I assume you play them as well as collect them? If so, do you have any favourite titles? Tough question to answer perhaps..
Hats off for your efforts. Remarkable achievement! :cheers:

ps. do you have a text-list of this complete collection?

[Mayhem]

I just had a thought here... is there a copy of Tetris in that collection?

If so, there's $7000 at least value right there.

If not, then the MD collection isn't complete ;)

[Ed Oscuro]

You did read some of his comments, right?

[hydr0x]

WAYYYY ahead of you there, hydr0x.

i would be worried if you weren't ;)

[Adol]

I do have Tetris on MD,but NOT the famous $4000 one...and it is NOT an official title..just go to sega official website,they DO list all official releases,and i do have them all...plus some other ones like Dynamite Headdy or Gunstar Heroes samples, Tekken VS Virtua Fighter, Divine Sealing,Tetris...

I do know this $4000 tetris,but since i have the EXACT SAME GAME for 50 times less,and it is NOT officially recognized by Sega on their official list ( you can check Daigirin,sega.jp, or Megadrive Taizen books )...i will not spend $4000-7000 for "that".

My collection is indeed COMPLETE,though.

I'll post pics on "room of doom"section...

As told earlier,i do have too other collections...but i don't know if ppl here is more interested in SFC than MD,PC engine,etc..

[Adol]

Yes,i played MANY of them,but not all of them
I loved Thunder Force 3,Phantasy Star 2,Kujakuoh 2 or Super Shinobi, my very first MD Games back in 1990 when i was 9 :)

Then i got DJ Boy or Moonwalker,Strider,Shadow Dancer,Hokuto no Ken..i love games i played in my childhood,even if they're not the "best" ones..i mean many consider Thor to be a great game,but when it was out i moved out to PC Engine CD and SFc,so i didn't consider that one to be a "great"one..
I loved Verytex,and Verytex music...Elemental Master, Shining Force 1&2, Vampire Killer, Contra Hard corps...i surely miss a lot of them!
Rockman Mega World,Monster World 3&4...

[poloplayr]

sugoi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[poloplayr]

Oh, do you have a complete SFC collection too? If so then for the love of God PLEASE show us photos...*speechless*

[hydr0x]

know if ppl here is more interested in SFC than MD,PC engine,etc..

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

you got complete SFC?? HOLY ******fu**ing crap, if you got pics and don't feel like posting them send them to hydr0xATgmx.net please, will ya, wow, just wow

[Dark_Sol]

Oh, do you have a complete SFC collection too? If so then for the love of God PLEASE show us photos...*speechless*

This is impossible!!! he is either son of Bill Gates of Hironobu Sakaguchi!

[Adol]

I told earlier that i do have around 1000 SFC Games...all Complte in box of course...but there is 1400 for COMPLETE collection! ( in fact 1450,but around 50 of them are Nintendo Power carts,then loose carts without "real"instructions&boxes )
So i still miss 400 to end it...i'll hopefully end it in a year...missing a lot of Shogi/chess games,Wrestling,bass fishing games,or mahjongs :)

still fantastic

pics would be awesome, if you can, as detailled as the MD ones, they are spectacular, and SFC looks much nicer! do you have Thracia yet? i guess the answer is yes.... what about Metal Slader Glory or whatever the exact name is?? you know, the last sfc release ;) i got the last but 5 one, Power Sokouban, but that's it

[Ackman]

you don't maybe have that lobo game that was never released I saw pix of it in a gamefan once but nothing I know it's a sfc and a mega drive game

probably a proto

[segagamer]

A truly impressive collection, indeed!!! Makes my Japanese MD collection appear small in comparison (I have somewhere between 100-200 MD games).

[Mayhem]

do you have Thracia yet? i guess the answer is yes

Do you mean the "regular" version of it, the limited edition or something else here btw?

[hydr0x]

well, as he said he doesn't have the NP games i was talking about the regular cart version, i didn't know 2 editions of the cart version exist

Speaking about Thraicia. I saw it within a VHS cassete and a plush dolls and some other stuff. Gone for 255$

[Adol]

I do have Trakia 776 of course,the deluxe package with plushes and maps,card game,etc..
I do have Metal Slider Glory Memory cassette,with box
( Metal slider Glory sticker on it ),instructions,and special post cards set..
I do have Power sokoban or other kind of "released"stuff,i'll be missing "Nintendo Power only" release,like Super Punch out, you see?

[Adol]

Dark Sol,this is EXACLY what i have..2 plushes,vhs tape,card game,map,plus thegame in a large box :)

[Adol]

I posted pics of my 1000 SFC games on another topic:

http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=706449#706449

of ycourse you'll only see sides of boxes,i don't have room enough to show 1000 game box faces :)

It is already hard enough to take such pics

[Dark_Sol]

Dark Sol,this is EXACLY what i have..2 plushes,vhs tape,card game,map,plus thegame in a large box :)

maybe it was U that freak who bid up to 255? LOL

[Poofta!]

im guessing youre the Adol on ebay who sells reshrink-wrapped 'sealed' games and make all other auctions skyrocket right?

sweet collections. have high security at home?

[Adol]

I'm adol from Ebay,but i don't sell "reshriinkwrapped" games like you say,and i never did..don't listen to jealous ppl

Not all collections are in same home..

Dark sol,i have my trakia since 4 years now,so NO,i'm not this person

[portnoyd]

APARTMENT of doom

IT'S COMING SOON - BE AFRAID

Sorry to threadjack, but it is

and having bought a few games from him in great shape in the past, i can vouch for that 100%.

[suppafly]

I have a question: Why did you choose to collect for the japanese console instead of the european or usa megadrives/genesis?

[hydr0x]

I have a question: Why did you choose to collect for the japanese console instead of the european or usa megadrives/genesis?

just take a look at ebay france, 60% of the snes stuff on their is sfc, they all do it LOL

[Dark_Sol]

I'm pretty sure Adol has very rich and wealthy parents :P
I haven't seen any students who could buy so much PRICY (sealed, rare and such) stuff in hundreds from ebay and what is more - japan auctions. This is impossible. It is only possible if you do not need to think about money and buy and buy tonns all the time.
8-) :P

[kevincure]

I don't think so. Videogame collecting is a cheap hobby; I could pick up a 20 hr. a week job in Boston at $12/hr any day of the week, which would give me almost 1000/month to spend on games (at the cost of less leisure time). It's not as hard to make money as you think, student or not.

maybe it's cheap if you buy loose carts and used US games from ebay or local stores. but Adol bought more then 1500 CIB and sealed games from japan in 4 years! that's amazing!
i want to tel that i do not envy Adol. but i'm very impressed.
he told he did ebay buy/sell that years. i wonder what he was selling.

[Adol]

My father was jobmless a long time,and my mother is a sports coach..in track&field..not really jobs where you can earn a lot of money

I decided to collect japanese games becuase they were ALL round me in my childhood,with import stores,and the fact to get games months or not YEARS before toher ppl was tempting...covers were nicer too :)

When i played early 91 Super Famicom,and europe was only getting it in April 92,that was amazing!
I was playing Super Mario Bros 4/Super Mario World,and Europe didn't even get Super Mario Bros 3 at that time
( they got it only on autumn 91 )!! Incredible..

there were really lots of import stores in France?

[anagrama]

there were really lots of import stores in France?

er... yes. Haven't you read the rest of the thread?

[geelw]

well, last time i was in france (way back in '96), i was able to hit a few import shops while just wandering around sightseeing. i remember 3 or 4 around paris and later on when we went south to quimper by TGV, there was a neat little shop called dock games behind a huge church- i ended up buying a couple of master system games i hadn't seen until then.

g.

[Dark_Sol]

Damn u r so lucky !!!!
We have no stores, either import of export here! :angry:

[Dimitri]

Wow. That is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

...wait a sec, I'm between 18 and 22, a student, and hoping to someday have a complete MD/J collection...hmm... ;) Thanks for making my dream seem far more possible. :cheers:

Do you happen to collect Mega CD as well?

[Adol]

Yes,of course i own every single Japanese Mega CD released..even some prototypes like burning fists and Force Striker Alpha...

some JPN Games like Surgical Strike or Fahrenheit are worth more than $100 each easily ( especially Factory Sealed )

[AtariBuff]

Adol,
congratulations on your great collection - I for myself collect PAL PS1 games and have 1000 out of ~1400 at the moment. A little bit of time to go for me to also experience the feeling of owning all released games for a system (well, I have all VideoPacs for the Philips G7000 but that's a small collection compared to the PS1).
Keep on collecting!!!

[rhiohki]

Damn....nice collection. I noticed you mentioned you had a complete collection of PC-engine games. I was wondering if you had them ALL complete with Spine & Registration cards. That would be REALLY impressive.

Let me know if you are willing to Sell Sylphia, Renny Blaster, Faussete Amour, Seiya Monogatari, or Mystic Formula from your PC engine collection 8-)

[Adol]

I have every single released PC Engine game,but not ALL of them have spine card&registration card..however,i do have around 40% Factory Sealed,and...60-65% with spine card/registration..but not 100%
I do have too some prototype games,some sample disc,the 7 caravan hucards....and all hardware,including PC engine Print Booster,Illust Booster,scanner, and even unreleased MODEM

I don't have those titles for sale..i do have around 200 or so for sale,but not those ones :(

[leorange]

Yes,of course i do have a "pirate" Tetris for MD,the "common"pirate you can see,worth $100 or so...

i presume this is the pageantsoft version that shows up on the multicarts?

[Balusilustalu]

Adol, I was wondering if you know if all the Japanese MD games were released with registration cards. Or better yet, how does one find out what kind of extras were originally shipped with the games. Flyers, stcikers, Cotton teacups LOL I assume there must be documents online listing such info. I'm still searching for a complete list with all the titles and what it came with but haven't been able to find anything remotely useful... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

[Adol]

No,not all MD games were released with registration cards...Konami,Acclaim Japan were companies used to put some in boxes,but not ALL of them

[Cauterize]

Just looking thru again, i noticed Moonwalker was sorta on display along with Maximum Carnage, McDs Treasureland, Flying Hat and so on...

Is Moonwalker quite rare or valuable?

[Adol]

Not at all,it was just the last shelf,and alphabetically ( in japanese ) Moonwalker is just before Maximum Carnage...
I couldn't get a good pic with all games of the last shelf,so i made two pics, and for the 2nd one i put the games in that position..
