It's finished!

[portnoyd]

Finally. The last 2 games came today. Stadium Events and Dragon Warrior 3. My US NES collection is finished! I took some pics of everything, and all the other shit in my room. I hope to take 2 or 3 pics of everything all bunched up this weekend. All the other pics are in the link. Thanks to DamienC for hosting my pics, check out his site by removing the /port/ from the link.

A burning question: now what?

Do you go and complete a different system? Complete the Famicom set? (yeah right ) Sell the NES lot and start a new NES collection?

I've been sitting on a very complete set of VB (USA release, includes Wario and Red Alarm demo labels and tall playable VB demo stand) for the last 4 years or so. Thought about getting complete JP version but never got around to that.

[portnoyd]

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. A load off my mind to have this done....

Now, I go for Genesis. Prices are dropping like crazy, and I need less than 300 to go. Yay

do you have all of the sports games for Genesis yet? and i have the same SMB2 cup!

[buttasuperb]

congrats port.

doesnt change the fact that you smell like crap.

[Keir]

Wow. Every US NES game, and it looks like only about 40 of them are boxed. For shame! I think I have that many boxed and I have less than 100 NES carts! Maybe that should be your next goal.

[Dobie]

Awesome, simply awesome. I hope to be there some day (only 400 or so to go).

[leonk]

EXCELLENT! Congrats.. now.. as one collector to another..

- Are you planning on getting all the manuals & boxes?
- I noticed all the loose games have no dust sleaves..
- did you play all those games?
- Did you clean all those games??
- You should maybe try to focus on accessories now..

I'm not nuts about getting complete games myself (my goal is every game + every manual.. and I'm less than 200 games & 500 manuals away).. But I am anal about my accessories.. I got a couple dozen of them, and all boxes.. with all manuals.. only unboxed thing I own is ROB..

Well.. congrats..

P.S. If you're crazy about Genesis.. drop me a line (leonki@yahoo.com). I got an ok collection.. but never use it.. I have a complete boxed NOMAD (with the batt cover!) that I might be willing to sell for the right price!

Now you should work on that rat's nest under your desk there :)

[christianscott27]

very inspiring to a would NES completist (150 or so to go), so tell the story, how did you go about it? funco? ebay? finds? trades? highest amount paid? got the porn games?

heh the first 600 were easy for me...even now i'm finding games i need for under $5, anybody thinking about NES completion should get on the stick now. they are still readily available and fairly cheap, just like 2600 games used to be!

2003 is my year of the 16 bit systems, its actually nice to have some systems you can find carts for, and i have 100's to go on the gen and SNES...maybe 2004 i'll go after the N64 in a big way.

once again, my hat is off to you, now write the saga of your collection.

Congratulations portnoyd, I'm envious, it must be damn satisfying to complete a collection. Well done.

[DREW]

anybody thinking about NES completion should get on the stick now.

Sounds painful

[moycon]

Quick question.
How many games is that?

Good job BTW!!

[Mayhem]

@portnoyd... ah but do you have a NWC cart?
