Quickest way from zero to a complete Ngage collection?

[Buyatari]

I always liked the Ngage. Its seems like a great system and while promos and prototypes have turned up I do not have 1 single released game.

Whats the best way to grab all 50 games?

[swlovinist]

Strike often on the bay, and be patient. I bet that if you play your cards right, you could eventually have all 50 releases. I dont know what is still available at Letstalk.com anymore, but I bet you can score some decent deals in lots on ebay. Some of the online exclusives are going to suck getting any which way you go. I was lucky and lived near Portand and got all my non exclusive online games and systems locally.

WOW great list thanks alot !!

So what are the holy grails so far. I looked for a thread on this but couldn't find it. What are the most desirable or hardest to find Ngage items.

[tom]

For me, the most expensive was Civilization, which was like $30.00. All the others were cheap, $2.00, $3.00, $5.00 the most. Even my Promo box (Asphalt Urban) I got for $20.00.

Some games are country specific, Sega Rally was an AUS and Asia release only, NCAA is a USA only release.

Difficult for USA'ers to find are High Seize, Civilization, Mile High Pinball, Sega Rally, for example.

I'm down to my last three missing games, which are One, AMV II, NCAA.
I was bidding on NCAA on USA ebay, but seller wanted $20.00 postage to Germany, which is a little bit too high.

Is Payload really download-only? I remember seeing it online, it seemed to be advertised as a regular mmc release.

Yes, download only... no physical release. It looked like it was going to get a real release but it was finally cancelled, probably due to the N-gage's bleak future and the negative reaction to the demo.

[slapdash]

Yeah, Payload wasn't cancelled until right around the day of release -- I think after, actually.

BTW Adam, there's a whole 'nother thread on the N-Gage, though it's gotten a bit long.
