Keith great to see my virtual boy still has pride of place. I've gone mad with my NES collection. We literally have a room in the house dedicated to it.

Need to bone up on your snes collection there

Burkey0 · 22-01-2013 03:14AM

V nice collections, having stuff out on shelves is nice but I'd be gritting my teeth. The dust!

Heres a few snippets of my Nintendo fanboy oriented collection thus far

NES games, grey Zapper and pikey bootleg NES

SNES drawer. Not as many boxed as I'd like, in fact so many loose x( Some of the proest loose games at the front, F-Zero and Vegas Stakes NTSC sealed at the back (can be bought for peanuts! At least you could before). Rogue wire all throughout

N64 with most my games, good amount boxed at least, few more out of shot

Bita GameCube. Is GameCube retro now? I think so

Just a few wee present day trinkets, should probably have gotten the Limited Edition or whatever of the RPGs but how and ever, I'm not really into special editions

I have a lovely minty boxed copy of that in my parents attic back home. Actually I've a load of fully boxed n64 games there which I haven't dug out in years!

Hopefully they are well protected from the damp or that will be one depressing experience when you go back to check on them.

Indeed! That's one thing which worries me. I took a lot of care while storing all of it. It's all in the centre of the attic where most of the heat is, in Tesco crates, with loads of tshirts for padding and plastic bags on top.

My main concern now is mice. Imagine going back to it to find a mouse had chewed his way through a load of games :eek:

OwaynOTT · 22-01-2013 02:06PM

I've a load of stuff stored in an attic at the moment and I did get a shock recently when those who own the attic decided to pack stuff on top of each other.
Now I stupidly only used cardboard boxes, as I thought it would only be a few weeks, and sure didn't the boxes collapse.
One of my gameboy micro boxes was destroyed and I hadn't the heart to check the rest out. I will be taking the bulk of the stuff out tomorrow night and I am absolutely dreading the experience. Butterflies in my stomach.
The worse thing is I know that they were up the attic last week moving stuff around and I know my stuff will not be handled with care.
I told them how expensive the stuff was.
'Sure their only videogames'

Burkey0 · 22-01-2013 06:18PM

Thanks lads

o1s1n, I bought it new and somehow misplaced/destroyed the box and manual x( worth some good dollars now.

IMO the best of the Paper Marios

I hope your happy with yourself, posting this picture has just made me go and splurge on all 3 of them!

I have been humming and hawwing over them for the last week and that picture just pushed me over the edge! Now I just hope they live up to the hype.

Burkey0 · 22-01-2013 11:30PM

Oh gosh. Good to see my praise is regarded so highly, I suppose

Xenoblade I've not yet finished but does a lot right, once you've gotten your head round the combat system. The quests are enticing and it's one of those games where the equipment actually changes the appearances of the characters

Needs a few hours before you get into it, I think many are lukewarm at first before being hooked.

I should probably leave it for you to experience ingame yourself first, but if not then here's a sneak preview of the excellent music of one of the game's best areas

Pandora's Tower is less RPG-like, more an action adventure, almost a dungeon crawler. Haven't played too much of it, mind, and it is certainly a bit limited graphically. Another slow-burner, probably the weaker link of the three. I do believe it's finally being given a US release. Boo!

And The Last Story I just haven't had time for! But it's well regarded with a triffic soundtrack and more tactical battling, even stealth if you want. Must play more of it

In any case, good to get them before they ramp up in value! And also to hear the Queen's English accents common to all three :pac:

Well 'f' is beside 'd' on the keyboard...I think enternow wants to see less potato waffles.

CiDeRmAn · 23-01-2013 06:08PM

I think he meant to say "twaddle", which means someone has been watching too much Downton Abbey.....
Next thing he'll be accusing Atavan of having it away with one of the servant girls and now she'll have to be sent away!

Myrddin · 23-01-2013 06:13PM

Waddle is a word for ballsology. At least, I think it is

Boxed Secret of Mana? Ye Jammy Arab ye

The Last Bandit · 23-01-2013 07:21PM

Still amazed how much I managed to squeeze into the small box room.

Not got much in the way of boxed stuff, although those Jaguar games are still in the shrink wrap.

Work-in-progress 'supergun' really needs a case

Andrew76 · 23-01-2013 08:07PM

@The Last Bandit - slick setup dude, very nice. Nice to see the Atari ST getting some love too (although I was/am in the Amiga camp myself). PCB on the carpet though? :eek:

o1s1n · 23-01-2013 08:26PM

Indeed, I'd at least stick some feet on that board!
