100% complete Super Famicom fullset, 1450 titles!

[miaandjohnrule]

Is there anyway you could estimate how much you spent to achieve such a thing?

.....

Thanks, took me years and around 30-40k$.

[jcalder8]

This is a truly amazing collection. I love seeing all the boxes, I think they look nicer, for the most part, than their US counter parts.

[Adol]

How many of the games are on the SFC memory carts? I've got a couple myself, took me ages to find the games I wanted (Super Famicom Wars for example) on them. And what's with the boxed "Starfox 2" out of curiosity? And are you counting all the Satelliview/BS games in the complete set as well?

And congrats... I actually wasn't sure you'd make it but I guess you really do have the contacts and determination to do it (more important than the money, anyone can have that!).

Well there is about 15-20 EXCLUSIVE Nintendo Power releases, i mean games which were never release in Japan (with box & instructions) in stores.
Super Punch Out,Doctor Mario,Ring ni Kakero,Wizardry 1-2-3 are some.
But you could put as well on those SF Memory carts some "normal" games like Super Mario World,etc...they were just cheaper!
I'm only interested in the "exclusive" titles though.
Starfox 2 doesn't exist,it is a "creation" like other ppl do with Secret of Mana 2,etc.
I'm not counting Satellaview/BS Games,since they're only programs, no box or instructions or sticker ever made.

You sir, are a God amongst men. CONGRATULATIONS! It's not everday that someone does what you've done. And you have also proved to the dreamers that with a little hard work and a lot of time and money, it can be done.

What made you decide you wanted to collect Super Famicom? Why not shoot lower? Virtual Boy is a nice, easy goal.

But really, I am in awe. The only system I have the complete collection for is the Sega Master System, which consists of 114 unique (US released) titles.

BRAVO!

Maybe you didn't realize this is my 22nd or 23rd fullset.
I had already Virtual Boy fullset, Megadrive,PC Engine,or Dreamcast,etc.
Just check my album.

Around 20-25000 Euros,making near $40k nowadays,but us$ is VERY LOW.
I can't say precisely,because i got games for quite cheap last years, and i paid full price for other ones back in 1993.

But i'd say that if i had to sell it right now,it'd be for appprox. 25000€ (like 15€ by game)
Some released games are up to 300€ (Rendering Ranger), some "hibaihin" like Far East of Eden Zero V Jump are worth 800$.

Just looked at your collection. How do you do it man? 100% SEALED collection of Japanese Dreamcast games? I nearly shit myself looking at those pictures.

Seriously, I am overwhelmed by your collection. Amazing really.

[Adol]

Thanks!
I had many of those fullset for years,but i decided recently (3 years ago) to show pics of it.
Many people say "i have this i have that",but most of them just can't prove it, and are generally lying. Sad.
I preferred then back at the time to prove what i said,and show pics

If anybody has a question in particular, i'd be glad to answer.
Or ask about a certain title, i could precisely say which one it is

[blue lander]

Impressive! Did you track down stuff of dubious legality like Hong Kong 97?

[Adol]

No,because it can't be done a precise list of that kind of stuff.
I do have though the 7 "SM"games,well known by japanese collectors.

[Atari 5200]

As a fan and a collector of the Super Famicom, I humbly bow to you.

[rbudrick]

All you need now id the Powerfest SNES competition carts now.



Oh, and I only counted 1280 carts on the shelves.

I don't need it, not interested in american stuff.

You counted wrong.
Lines of 20 games, 8 lines by "library", 9 libraries
72 x 20 = 1440,and there's a few extra on the last one.

[fcw3]

Very Impressive. Congratulations.

What's next ? Or like Alexander the Great, will you weep because there are no more worlds to conquer ?

First,i only collect complete in box games,that's a minimum (box and instructions)..and when i can (and afford them),factory sealed.

So far,i "conquerred":

Nintendo:
Virtual Boy
N64
DD64
Super Famicom
maybe will end very soon CIB Famicom Disk System (200, but some games are up to 100000 Yens)...next step would be Famicom,but getting all of them complete in box is hard to do (around 1050 games,i only have 400)


Maybe i'll go for Japanese Gamecube,quite easy to do?
I do have like 150 GB/GBC/GBA games,but not interested in fullset.

SNK:
Neo Geo Pocket B&W & Color Japanese fullset
Neo Geo Pocket B&W & Color European fullset (clamshell cased)
Neo Geo CD Factory Sealed (all of them)

Atari:
Jaguar Factory Sealed (all of them)
Jaguar CD Factory Sealed (all of them)
Lynx (i'm missing some,like 95% fullset) Factory Sealed

All NEC fullsets:
PC-FX
PC Engine Hucard
PC Engine CD/SCD/Arcade CD
Supergrafx
(60% of the PCE 700 approx titles fullset are factory sealed)

and with my Saturn fullset coming next,all Sega fullsets:
Sega Mark 3
Megadrive
Mega CD
Sega 32X
Game Gear
Saturn
Dreamcast Factory sealed, all of them

I have too:
Sega Master System European fullset (the most complete one)+US/Brazilian/Australian extras

MSX Palcom LD fullset

95% complete Japanese Laseractive fullset (never found 3D Virtual Museum Australia)

I don't care about Sony or Microsoft either

I have many MSX,Marty,PC 88/98/FM 77,X68000 games,but i never planned to get a fullset of them.

And i sold Neo Geo AES & Game&Watch CIB like 5 years ago,so i could pay for all those ones.

[carlcarlson]

wow, that's a lot of money... congratulations on finishing another collection.

[Adol]

Less than $200 a month,since i collect it for 15 years (with a big break,i admit).
But i began this collection with my twin brother,so that helped.

[lkermel]

Congrats Adol !!!!
This is indeed amazing ! I knew you were completing your SFC collection and I'm glad you succeeded !
How hard was it to find the last couple of games ? I remember you had a list of 10ish games to hunt down last time we talked... did you find them in Japan ?...
Anyway, great collection man, you rock !!!

[Adol]

I found like 9 of them in Japan by online shops & auctions, and 1 of them( a fishing game) on Ebay by a HK seller

It took me 6-8 months to track down the 10 last ones (shitty ones,hard to find: Go games, Shogi games, Fishing games..)...and i even found a game i was pratically convinced to not exist: Emit Value Set.
In fact a carton box holding the 3 Emit games, the EXACT same games than retail releases,easy to find..so in fact i located a VERY RARE carton box!

[Sudo]

Wow. That's all I can think of to say.

[ApolloBoy]

Absolutely incredible collection! Congrats!
