Anyone out there with photos of their collections?

Wouldn't mind seeing what ya'll have. I Finally decided to dig out all my Megadrive related things and give them a proper home.



Closer pics;

Some hardware. Have a Genesis Mark III knocking about somewhere too

Nice collection. Will try and get a camera and take mine. Rather proud of it. My 16-bit stuff is all in the attic unfortunately.

Frustrating having no room to display stuff isnt it? All the rest of my 16 bit gear is stored away. I'd love to get the rest of it up somewhere like that.

Nice..but should probably hold a world record for depleting AA batteries in the fastest time possible. Can be an interesting challenge trying to finish a game before the thing goes dead. Oh the panic when the red light starts to flash :eek:

The Nomad looks like an non-digital camera.

Ah streets of rage and shinobi, two timeless classics! Really wish I hadn't sold my megadrive to my uncle....

When saving up for a Playstation (My betral of Sega...I still live with it to this day *sniff*) my mother kept saying I should sell my Megadrive and games. Glad I didn't listen to her!

Timans

I am desperate for more games. I have very few.

I NEED SOURCES.

Ebay rips you off on postage.

o1s1n

Find a seller on ebay who has multiple games for sale and then get him to conbine postage. I remember I bought so many games from one seller that he threw in a few extra for free.

Timans

How much did you buy?

How much money did you spend and how much was postage?

Comix Zone... Needed.

o1s1n

Someone was selling about 15 games. All of them ended around the same time and all were only 1p. So I bid and won them all without any competition Postage was about £12 if i remember correctly. Including about four extra games. Should probably have been more expensive. So in total it worked out about 17 euro or so for 19 games.

You won't get Comix Zone for 1p though. Just keep a look out. I managed to get my copy with a buy it now for 2 pounds.

A great thing to do is type in "mega drive", press buy it now and arrange all the games starting with the lowest price first. You can sometimes nab a bargain. I saw a copy of Probotector for the Megadrive for £7 and stupidly didnt buy it. Bah!

Timans

There is no way I'm going to get such a bargain!

1p!?

:O

Hmm, now where did I leave my camera?
Nice megadrive collection, I tossed out most of my boxes, not enough room.
I had a nomad, traded it with a guy who used to work in Bookmart for his Virtual Boy, I reckon I got the better deal to be truthful, and I think the SegaCD/Mega drive combo is a tad rarer, and I've got one of those!

CiDeRmAn

Right, here are a few hasty shots of my own dungeon, strangely located in my attic!
Sorry about the mess, it was the cleaning ladies year off.
Soon to abandon the evil staire folding attic stairs and gaining a good and wholesome spiral staircase up there so my visits can be more frequent, some of those systems are getting mighty lonely!
I've got 30 at last count and most of the games aren't in the shots, I have over 110 PS1 games, tons of Megadrive and Snes games together with everything worth owning on N64, pal releases anyway.
I can't show you my Xbox and DC game collection without incriminating myself and the MegaCD, 3DO and rest of the games are all in various drawers around the room, my Edge collection holds up a wall behind the camera!

Timans

Any chance of buying some mega drive games, no?

:P

Sacrilege!!!!!
I always wondered why I kept picking up games with no boxes..

Nice collection anyway. Quite a few consoles there I've been meaning to get my hands on., Nowhere to put them though.

CiDeRmAn

I'm more a player than a collector, I don't own anything I wouldn't play so aside from Vagrant Story, a handful of 32bit FF games and the Zelda series you'll find no RPGs in my collection, no soccer games either, can't stand sports games!
I just like playing great games on the original hardware, be it Castlevania SOTN, Steel Battalion or Need for Speed on my trusty 3DO.
The games generally didn't come with boxes, but those that did, the Snes, GB amd N64 cardboard stuff doen't wear the years well, I'd love a boxed Super Metroid though, with the book!
Machines I need right now are, Commodore CD32, Colecovion, Intellivision and a Atari/Sears Pomg machine, CX100 I think.
Also hoping to stick a 28" HD tv in there sometime, make everything just right.

One other thing to would be collectors, buy an old Xbox, mod it and get Mame plus a complete romset, no true blue gamer should be without it.

That's more or less what it is for myself. Even if I want to play a ps1 game I'll take out one of my ps1 consoles rather than play it on a ps2. Some might find that odd.... I really can't play games on emulators either. It sucks a lot of the joy out of it for me. MAME being the only exception.

I do have a horrible collector streak when it comes to the games. Really have to have them in boxes. Loose carts do my head in.

Actually, do you have any photos of your games?

I have no problem in keeping them company for you:D . 110 Ps1 games is some collection. Any chance you have Nagano Winter Olympics in there I have benn trying to track it down for a good while.

Including hand helds I'm on 29. (Although there are a few doubles...In the case of my ps1s quadruples)

Game wise;
Sega Megadrive - 111
ps1 - 52
Snes - 42
ps2 - 36
n64 - 23
Nes - 12
Sega 32x - 5
Gamecube - 4
Wii - 2
DS - 11
GBA - 5
GB - 5
Game.com - 2

Hmmm. I think I'm going to have to stop with the Megadrive for a while and start padding out other systems.



Not nearly enough! Damn it, I need a job

I can't really pad out my game collection for my existing consoles, I pretty much have everything I need already, aside maybe for some transparencies for the Vectrex, 3d tetris for the virtual boy and perhaps a modded ps1 so I can just nab iso's of all those rare playstation games like einhander that i can't justify spending big money on, maybe Un Jammer Lammy and Kurushi while i'm at it. Also want to hook up a laptop hd to my Amiga600 so i don't need disks.
I am getting a bit ahead of my self with this collecting business, tend to refer to it as "my gaming museum", deary deary me.
The vectrex is the most important device, along with its vecflash cart, lets me dump almost entire game lineup for machine onto it, coupled with a lovely onscreen menu, its all good baby!

It's rather excellent probably worth the money unless it's going for silly $40+ prices. I got mine in America about 4 years ago in a second hand bin for $7. There were loads of copies going for about $12. I gave mine as a lend to a friend who put it up in his attic with his PS1 and won't bother getting it.

Note to self, kick friends arse when in college tomorrow.

CiDeRmAn

I know, I had a dodgy copy of it back in the day and loved every moment of it, a sweet game.
Also, hunt down your friend and beat him til he coughs up Einhander.
I had a mint copy of Castlevania SOTN for my PS, sold it with the machine back in 98 to a work colleague of a mate, didn't think about it for a couple of months and then it struck me what a fool I had been.
I was over in his place a couple of months ago and casually mentioned this heartache, when he said, "I've got that here", he had bought the machine and the games from her a couple of years ago after a chance meeting, and so, I now have Castlevania SOTN back in my collection, safe and sound.
The Vectrex tale is much better but I'll save that for another day!
I am in a buying frenzy now, I have so many games fo rthe PS2, and can't stop.
Bought some more this morning, Matrix Path of Neo, Canis Canem Edit, Sonic Riders and Secret Weapons Over Normandy, the last one a gem, made my the guy who produced Tie Fighter and XWing, though not as sim-like as those a great little game, and only 8.99 in Gamestop, nice!
But thats not including the other 7 I bought in the last fortnight, I'm definitely going slightly insane!

Ruu_Old

Hope to add the below to my small collection, auction doesn't end until May 5th. Currently winning at $23.49.

o1s1n

Nice, good luck winning

Oooh both copies of VR Racing. Good example of how much more they could have improved on games with the 32X. Shame it has such a pitiful pathetic library. A pitiful pathetic library I'd still love to get my mits on though.

You're lucky that your 32X is American actually. Games are laughably cheaper than the European counterparts. I just saw Zaxxon motherbase sell for 37 sterling. Some other seller has Kolibri up for 88 sterling. Slightly out of my price range..and don't get me started on Darxide!

Retr0gamer

Good luck with that. Primal Rage 32X is one of the rarest games ever and usually fetches a high price by itself. Forgot how big the Virtua Racing cartridge was
