I posted this same thing at nintendoage but since this is a different community, i thought i'd get opinions here.
I took a break from collecting for a while but I am trying to get back into it. Recently i've been collecting original xbox, ps2, and ps1 games. However i want to start up my snes, genesis, and n64 collecting again.
Since i have so few games, I was thinking of just buying boxed games. Doesn't necessarily need to be complete with manual, but at least have the box and cart holder. I'm not going for any complete collection, I have a list of games i want for the system, which covers most of the popular stuff like the rpg's, etc.
Part of me thinks that i'd be spending way too much money, and i can just go scour flea markets, thrifts, and used game shops to find loose carts for cheap.
But another part of me thinks i can slow down, and buy 1 boxed game a week or every 2 weeks, collection will grow much smaller but at least it would be boxed.
I wanted to post the games I want for the system, I was hoping people here can tell me, based on the stuff I want, if it makes sense trying to get it all boxed.
Do you think it might make better sense to just get UGC's and print my own covers?
I'd eventually be displaying these games when i move into a bigger place. Most of the games are on my list because I want to play them, and because I think they are the best games for the system,and represent it well.
games that are underlined and in italics are games i already have boxed.
