/vr/ - Retro Games

>tfw got banned from the nintendo forums on a regular basis

Got unlazy and went and took a picture of my current PS1 (plus some dreamcast stuff) collection. I'd get my n64/snes collection out, but its a bit too late to be digging through my closet to get those totes out. They're a lot harder to display since they're mostly cart only :\

Might post my retro megaten moonrune games if people want, though.

>>1321926
>SaGa Frontier.
Good man.

>>1321926
Please do! Once my cat gets out my lap I'll post a few moonrune super famicom games I got.

Welcome to /vr/ anonfriend. No one is shunned away. All opinions are respected. Let's enjoy our love for retro games together.

>>1321943
could do a 'what's in the box' picture for IF on ps1 if you want (its the special edition)

>>1321952
If you feel like it friend, here are some of mine.

>that feeling when your dad brought home gundam f-91 home as a kid

He even ripped out the tabs on my snes just so I can try to play it. I had no idea what I was doing but now its one of my favorite games. I can't believe his coworker was gonna throw it away cause he cant fucking read japanese.

>>1321985
Oh gods! I remember someone in my family bringing home a super famicom game, though back then we had no idea what to fit it into our super nintendo, so I think it just got lost in the shuffle. I don't even remember what it was :(

this edition comes with a calender book, a pen, and a business card holder...thing. I don't know what to call it, but its got the school logo imprinted on it. I'd use it if I wasn't afraid of getting it dinged up and such.

>>1321995
Impressive! Does the calender book actually fold out like a calender? or is it more of an agenda?

Also how much did that bad-boy cost you all together?

Also this. Remember when PC games came in boxes this big, but the cd was kept in a tiny jewel case? Giant space for nothing, not even the instruction booklet takes up that space.

I don't even know where to start getting these to work on my machine.

>>1322000
It's more like a planner, it opens up like a book.

My friend picked it up for me at a convention and he said it cost him about 60. I've never seen this edition elsewhere, so I'm not sure if he was ripped off or not, but I really like it and its the center piece of my megaten import collection, so I think it's well worth it!

>>1322003
also ugh, i thought i turned this photo but apparently I didn't. Sorry about that.

>>1322005
Haha that's cool, I would probably pay the same honestly. Do you ever shop on SolarisJapan.com?

Also, the picture rotates by itself on my pc so its all good. Haha yeah I do remember its funny cause typically those boxes have a cd-case, a manual, and like that weird inner cardboard box thing. Plus maybe some advertisements and a thing you can mail in with 10 dollars for some kind of shirt haha,

>>1321952
>P4
Absolutely disgusting

>>1322016
I mostly grab stuff from ebay, that or I get much of my collection from work and people who sell stuff into there (that's where I got RE2 and 3 on the PC). I work at a retro game shop, its great for making collector connections.

>>1322017
Note that its still sealed. I plan on replaying through 1-3 before I let myself open it (if ever). Bought it half on a whim because special editions give me a collecting boner.

>>1322016
also its nice to see a website that ships from japan where the shipping isn't completely outrageous. ¥400 for airmail ain't too bad...might have to use this site from now on!

>>1322021
Seriously I was amazed at the prices, just make sure you always look at the condition section of everything before purchase. Also you can change prices to $ or euro. Also what store do you work at?

>>1322027
A midwestern located company called Gamers. I think for a while there our main store was the biggest store in the US to be dedicated to video games.

I get a lot of my collection there since discounts and connections. That's where I got my Nomad for fifteen bucks (including battery pack!). I can find just about anything I'd ever want and most of the time the prices are cheap compared to the going rate online.

Been a while, but here's an up to date photo of my Playstation collection

>>1322034
Sounds really cool, only thing I have is a GameFx. Once my favorite store, last time I was there it had seemed to began being raped by resellers and people like me who discovered it too quickly.

Everytime I go some redneck walks in, "Do you guys have the new call of duty?" It sucks that they have to stoop low just to stay in buisness.

>>1322041
Yu-gi-oh Forbidden Memories...

Damn those were some good memories indeed.
>Fuse every card until twin-headed thunder dragon.

>>1322045
Business at a game shop is real weird. We have everything back to Atari, but also present day shit, so we get a wide range of customers. Every game shop is going to have rednecks asking for call of duty, unfortunately. Problem is there's no way to keep our heads above the water if we just sold one or the other. We get a lot of trade ins when new systems come out, and used stuff is where we make our money (the margin is huge, but we don't jew people as much as gamestop does).

We also sell phones and shit but that's just...yeah, an entire different thing I don't quite understand.

We also get a mad amount of chodes that rode in only because of the boom in the retro game marketplace, always surprised to see n64 games as expensive as they are now...because of themselves.
45$ for smash bros? Yeah, because everyone and their bro wants to play it for nostalgia feels.

>>1322041
Are you as obsessive about green labels as I am? I always try to replace my green labels with black labels as soon as I can. Just thought of that since I saw a black label silent hill in there!

>>1322021

Japanese people aren't really resell whores, at least in my experience.

>>1322056
Yes, from my understanding the Japanese really don't have a strong used anything market, since most frown on buying used in the first place. It's why you can pick up a lot of 100 famicom games for 100 bucks or so, but its always some outrageous amount for shipping.

Had a friend visit Japan and pick up a Virtual Boy for 20 bucks or so, but spent 40 shipping it home. Egh.

Current setup I have.

>>1322053
Yeah, I had to pay like 25 or 30 for my Mario Kart because my mom sold all my popular 64 games a long time ago. Still I really don't care because me and my roommates play it more that almost any game we have together. *sigh* I just want to get Mario Party (original) again, but damn that price tag..


>>1322057
Also reminds me of GameCenter Cx where Arino can literally go to a store and buy a random grab bag of retro games for the equivalent of like 10 dollars... and they aren't even shitty games.

>>1322053
Kind of, I don't actively seek first-release games unless they're unique (ex. FF7 misprint) or if the re-release has altered game-play (ex. Zelda OoT gold vs grey cart). Other than that, I don't mind having re-releases, but I would never pass on a potential label upgrade if the price were right.

>>1322064
You got off pretty cheap on that Mario Kart, we sell it in shop for about fourty or so. Mario Party though...is another store. SPEAKING OF...

Can't let a good chip go to waste in a broken cart, so someone made this at one of our stores.

At least some of those games you may be able to find for cheap at garage sales/etc. Go exploring, go to weird out-there cities too (like in the middle of nowhere) during garage sale season. You'd be surprised what you can find for mad cheap.

>>1322068
HOLY SHIT I WANT THAT, yeah I'm gonna start going to my flea market I just hate waking up so early. Typically the mexicans (no offense) over here will sell old games dirt cheap simply because they are nice people. That and yeah garage sales with crazy college dudes dying for a gram of bud. I bought a complete Nes with Shadowgate, Castlevania, Zelda 1 and 2, Ninja Turtles Arcade, and a few more for freakin 10 dollars. Best deal I ever got, the guy was a total bro and talked about all of his memories with each game too.

I just began my nes collection. A couple throwaway, but otherwise some solid starters. Any suggestions?

>>1322076
Faxanadu, River City Ransom, Startropics 1 and 2, The Lolo Series (3 is the best), Conquest of the Crystal Palace, Crystalis (fucking still don't have either sadly,) Thunder and Lightning.

Just to name a few not so obvious suggestions.

>>1322076
Get the rest of the castlevanias and mega man. With mega man, the higher in number you go the more expensive/rare they get (usually).

Really, though, pick up things you like or want. There's games I'll pick up simply because the name and cover art are interesting/make me laugh (Anticipation on the NES, or the batman joker returns game on the NES...really cool artwork for that one, btw).

With NES games, its hard to find them with manual or box, and when you do they'll be kind of pricey. Depends if you think its worth it or not. Sometimes used game shops will sell them cart only despite displaying the box, but if you talk the guy up you can get the box for free (s'how I got my Metal Gear box). SOMETIMES they'll have boxes but no carts, and usually those are free too (at least around here!).

here's my setup, my collection is isn't what it used to be. I gave / sold the lion's share of it. I can post a few more pics if anyone is interested

>>1322110
forgot the pic

>>1321891
Put the smoke alarm back up.

here's mine. welcome to our little refuge.

>>1322063
sick ass VHS collection.

>would game and watch movies with

OP, let me give you a secret that only age can grant you.

You can only run around a skybox for so long before you've done it all.

That means that no matter how much games change you will always stay the same because it's all old to you.

Don't ask how to deal with it because I'm still figuring it out.
VR could break the cycle but then we damn the next generation to our fate.
There's no easy way out, we have to grow up.(DEAR GOD)

>>1322118
Lol well it started malfunctioning one day when I took a shower and it wouldn't shut off.

>>1322123
Mr. Gimmick poster... that is really awesome.

>>1321985
>Battle Dodgeball

Never I played another dodgeball game after this one. No gundams and ultraman? Boring.

>>1322123
Hey, you're the /vr/trooper who got the Star Fox Weekend cart for like $100 right?

>Dat Alice in Wonderland poster and boxed Intellivision

I like you

>>1323154
Those crawl-space walls
I assume it's freezing down there?

>>1322063
I wouldn't have thought a sideways VCR would work.
Are there any that were actually designed to do that?

>>1323350
None that I have ever seen. Never had an issue with it working the way it is sitting now.

Sorry about the shit lighting and shit quality. I have about 70 Super Nintendo games in a bin in my closet because I don't have any other room to put them.

>>1323463
Also, there are loose handheld games in the little bag thing up top (Nintendo calls it a box, but it's really not)

>>1323463
Devil World, Famicom Jump, Final Fantasy I,II,III

>>1321891
Your photo is so shitty in quality im not surprised get a non potato camera

>>1323489
Kero Kero Keroppi no Daibouken, Megami Tensei, and SD Gundam World: Gachapon Senshi 2 - Capsule Senki

>>1323154

You keep your games in your rape dungeon? I try to keep the two hobbies separate, personally.

These PS1 collections are amazing.
>tfw no money to buy and start collecting original games, and even if I do start I'll never get close to you guys
Great job, though.

>>1323493
Apparently I fucked the order of these up at some point oops

Dragon Quest V, Super Robot Wars EX, Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei, Shin Megami Tensei If..., Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu, Dragon Quest VI, and Shin Megami Tensei I.

>>1323501
And my rarest game.

>>1323304
Tonight it is!

>>1323494
It's a pretty large area.

>>1324038
So glad I live in Texas. Where I can get nice and warm while I play vidyuh games and rape in my apartment.

>>1323005
yes, that was me!!

Here's my PS1 collection

Here's my collection

Why did you get your shitter in the photo? Not to mention that if you wanted attention for your poster, you should have actually made a photo in high enough quality and from a proper angle from which to see it.

Also, you were likely a late post in a dicksucking thread, and you don't appear to be a rich kid, so there was no chance anyway. Glad to hear you wised up and escaped /v/ though.

>>1321985
What's the votoms game like?

>>1322068
Why waste a perfectly good WCW/NWO Revenge cart on Mario Party? It's not rare is it?

>>1324875
It is a really strange mix of Mario Kart and action. I guess it was fun for its time cause its like an arena fighter with Super Mario Kart graphics. Different weapons and character selection, only problem is its hard as hell to aim and see due to snes limitations.

Not the largest but super proud of my collection

>>1324879
It was broken.

Mario Party is a 40 dollar game, revenge is a 5 dollar one.

Loose Genesis games and n64 games are not shown in this pic because I was going through them the other day when I took this.

Not sure what you wew expecting. ToeJam & Earl 3 is older than some /v/ posters these days.

Posting pic of my mess. A bit more cleaned up now. Took the pic while putting up more shelving.

I'll post my NES stuff, I guess. Lighting is shit, I need a better camera.

>>1327612

>>1327552
dem candy cabs. so jealous.

I haven't got all my consoles properly organized yet, but I finally finished organizing and shelving all my games.

>>1328542
What is that gamecube boxset ?

>>1328553
It's Odama. It's like a startagy/pinball game almost. It uses the GC mike

>>1327552
is that an astro city? been wanting a candy cab for awhile now, how much are those going for nowadays?

I'll post mine this weekend. I've collected more since the last time I've taken pictures.

Not in cases are Einhänder, Crash Bandicoot 2, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, Oddworld: Abe's Exodus, Mega Man Legends, Mega Man 8, and Mega Man X6.

I already know about Crash and Spyro, but if anyone recommends me other good PS1 games, I'll love you. I'm into horror and 2D platformers most, but I mostly dislike turn-based RPGs, especially if it's the generic chibi anime kind.

>>1321891
Nice Jackson guitar man !

>>1321891
The poster is kind of hard to make out to be fair

>>1322074
You don't have to say no offense for stating somebody's race.

>>1322056

Well they are, but not in the way you're thinking.

They all buy new games, beat them as fast as possible and then sell them back to shops in mint condition and get like 70% of their money back, all because renting is illegal there.

That's why they have such a healthy selection of used games for good prices.

>>1329620
Yeah looking back on this, I really should have cleaned up a bit and taken some "high quality" photos.

Oh, am I late?

>tfw LaserActive game dumping has finally started

Feels great, man.

>>1321926
Are you me?

Here are some games from my console collection.

I'm going to dig up some more games during the next week I hope.

I was mostly a PC-gamer from 1998 and onwards so my PC-games collection is much larger.

>>1321891
Where can I buy that toilet?

i collect nintendo only, biggest part of ym collection is n64.
currently i'm enjoying my 3ds the most.
my games are stored in the cardboard boxes.

>>1322113
that trinitron is so sexy, any info on it? Is it one of the long ones?

>>1321985
any tips on getting S-famicom games? a guy I know says he has an importer, am I better off doing ebay? trying to get ahold of umihara kawase

>>1333415
It's a longshot, but that's a PC and not a nintendo dolphin right? the ports at the top look weird

>>1333424
yep, it's a pc.

>>1333424
Seriously Solarisjapan.com

The best website I've ever had the chance to use. Super cheap, tells you the condition, can buy a ton of rare complete stuff. Also can buy cart only in the "bargain" section. Strongly recommended.

>>1324871
Dat disk rot.

>>1324895
Looks gorgeous!

The DC stuff is actually in the cubbyhole next to the PS1 games but since this is literally all of my retro, I just paired it up for the picture.

I had an assload of Genesis games but I traded my Genesis and games on Craigslist for a PS3 and got burned.

All of the cartridge based stuff, looks like so much less than i thought

>>1333724
Your fucking brain's rot

My stuff is packed up right now, so can't take a picture. Here's a picture I already had of my Kid Icarus collection

>>1334510
whaaaaaaaaat is that disk thing in yellow?

>>1334756
A Famicom floppy disc for the Famicom Disk System

It's my game cabinet of Destiny. I passed the 500 game mark last year and I try to get all the must haves of each console.

>>1321926
>>1332994
Y'all niggas and your Raihos are making me jealous.

I just started rebuilding my gaming collection about a year or so ago. Considering I started from nothing I'd like to think I'm not doing too terribly, but still a long ways to go before I'm satisfied. 1/2

>>1335128
2/2

>>1334870
I have several.

Who doesn't buy extras of Atlus special editions that come with awesome shit like that? Gotta keep one wrapped for future generations.
