Game Boy/Game Boy Color/Game Boy Advance Boxed Collection COMPLETE

[DreamTR]

I won't have pictures until the end of the month, but I picked up the last 2 GBA games I needed for a complete Game Boy collection encompassing all systems.

Now onto the last few Euro exclusives and 3-4 GBA Videos!

That's great Jason, congrats! I look forward to seeing some pictures!

[swlovinist]

congrats my friend. That is very impressive. I cannot wait to see those pics. What is your next venture?

[DreamTR]

Thanks!

I am still trying to complete Game Gear which I only need 4 boxes for, and finishing up boxes for SNES, Coleco, Genesis, all which I need less than 4 for each.

I will be definitely concentrating on GameCube and Xbox afterwards, which I have a huge headstart on. I think I only need around 70 Xbox games, and 120-140 or so GameCube games....Wii and DS I have been keeping up with, but PS2/PS1/PSP/PS3 I only wanted to collect exclusive titles for, so I won't get past the mid hundreds for each of those eventually.

Does this mean no more GBA titles to be released in North America or you'll just pick up any future titles as they come out? How many GBA games total btw?

[DreamTR]

Bratwurst: I'll be picking up the remaining ones slated to come out as they do...there are around 6-8 or so for release that I know of so far, but I am sure by X-Mas there will be more.

I don't have an exact number since everything is packaged up for the move, but I definitely know it's over 900 games...

[DigitalSpace]

Congratulation!

[Bratwurst]

I suspected it might be around 800-1000.. one of my favorite handhelds ever. One last visit to the 16-bit design philosophy.

Dream, what were the hardest titles to acquire for each of the three platforms if you don't mind me asking?

That is awesome! I can't wait for the pics! Did you get original GB as they came out as well, or did you have to go back?

Due to the nature of Gameboy games/boxes, this may be the most impressive complete collection a person could aquire.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Everyone's in awe, but I just feel sorry for you.

I'm sorry you had to spend money on such horrible things like the GBA Video carts, and all those crappy games that should've never been released in the first place.

Other than that, congrats.

joedick: I had to search for the Game Boy (original) stuff in the past few years, and it was not fun.

Also, in terms of the most "difficult" games to find, it's actually the BOXES for each system that are the toughest to find, not the games.

Game Boy Color really only has a couple of tough to find boxes, one of them being International Rally by Konami.

Game Boy Advance has some weird variants, including a GIANT box for Nickelodeon Party Pak (4 in 1) that was just released that I have not seen in stores, but may be available in Costco that I acquired from THQ's company store.

I'm sure things like Bratz BABIES will be tough to find eventually because that was a Toys R US release no one saw, Pocket Professor I, which is only sold online, the late release 03 Entertainment games will be tough to find eventually, but Frogger the Grest Quest and Little League Baseball 2002 are royally tough to find boxes for.

Games listed on Nintendo's site, but not released in USA for GBA: Invader, and Black Belt Challenge

For GBC there are a few, including Robocop.

GB boxes that are really, really tough:
Blaster Master Boy
Spud's Adventure
Amaz'n Tater (if you don't know where to look)
Mr. Do! (the US version)
Fish Dude (good luck with this one)
Captain America (the last box I needed)

Do you have the other 2-3? There are other giant boxes that THQ released as well.

[PentiumMMX]

I'm jealous(sp?) of your boxed & complete copy of Pokemon Crystal

Have you got the UK magazine give-away double cart Space Invasion/ Karate Joe, which was released by Rocket Games as a cover-mount for GBX magazine?

[Nukie]

That's awesome man! I wish I could be anywhere near a complete collection of anything let alone the gameboy monster.

GAC: What games also had those big boxes and where did you see them? Those are variants that would be interesting to have.

TOm: I am strictly talking North American releases, not UK stuff, but since you mentioned, those ROcket games GBC releases were also released out here by Interact (GameShark back in the day) and I do have all of them from when they sent them to the magazine I used to work for.

Sams Club had them. I know one is a GT Racing game 4-pack, I can't remember any others so you will have to ask him or Drexel.
