Fantasy Shopping Spree

[briskbc]

OK, here's the deal. You have won $1000 dollars in an ebay contest. eBay holds it for you and you get to bid whatever you like. Because we're all collectors I'll assume it's games. After the auctions are over you tell eBay who to pay and the seller sends you the game.

My question is, what games would you buy if you had this $1000. My list goes a little like this.

Snatcher $80
Panzer Dragoon Saga $125
Dracula X (SNES) $40
Intelligent Qube $45
Dragon Warrior 2-4 (complete) $110
Arc the Lad Collection (PS1) $50
Lunar 1 & 2 (Sega CD) $90
FF 2 & 3 $80
Chronotrigger $45
Shining Force 3 $50
Gundam (DC) $30
Mars Matrix $30
Ogre Battle (SNES) $50
Tactics Ogre (PS1) $60
Tengen Tetris $50
Maga Man X3 $65

Keep in mind you are using eBay prices.

i would just buy the biggest NES lots i could find for 1000, and the extra carts i would trade in at the game shop. there an auction up right now that i would go for, it has 41 SMB 3 carts. thats where i would be, but i'm just a plain NES person

eBay prices? Hmmm... I could get something like a CIB Stadium Event for $5 or that Puzzle Fighter for PSX for $30 with 4 other SF games. ;)

Realistically (and barring insanely low BINs) I'd probably start with Virtualboy. Virtual Space Invader is high on my want list but it's probably also the most expensive VB game. Virtual Fishing, and other Japanese exclusive titles as well. And if I have any money left over, get the rest of Japanese titles I don't have for VB. This would use up most if not all of the $1000

Second choice: all the SMS games I can get. I have about 70 USA games and I'd like to complete that lot and throw in a number of SMS games that didn't get released in USA.

I'd probably either save it (if I could) for stuff that I REALLY wanted, or buy a huge Neo Geo AES package.

[Mr-E_MaN]

Here is a list of my NES wants.
Marble Madness
Mario Bros.
Mario’s Missing
Mario’s Time Machine
Mega Man
Mega Man 3
Mega Man 5
Mega Man 6
Micro Machines
Pac Man
Paperboys
Wario’s Woods
Wrecking Crew
Zelda (Grey)
Zelda 2 – Link (Grey)
1943
Adventure Islands
Alfred Chicken
Arkanoid
Balloon Fight
Bubble Bobbles
Bomber Mans
Burger Time
Duck Tales both
Gilligan’s Island

For SMS I don't really have a want list so I would probably buy anything I could find cheap and complete.

But since I also collect horror movies I would love to buy some of them on DVD. Such as:
Nightmare on Elm St.
Halloween
Friday the 13th
The Ring Trilogy
Hellraiser
and probably a lot more...

1000 bucks EH? thats easy, Id finally be able to start my NeoGeo collection :D

Yeah, that's a good choice. Won't pay for it all (most likely), but a good way to get it for less.

Otherwise, especially if this was time sensitive, I'd finish Genesis. A grand would easily do it.

Probably whatever unlicenced NES, pirated famicom/nes, and famiclone stuff I could find.
