/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4109630
I remember that Ren and Stimpy game. Man it sucked. Super difficult.

>>4109645
Yeah, I beat it once and could never do it again. It has a warm place in my heart, though. Also, it's not nearly as difficult as Arcade's Revenge which almost single-handedly crushed my childhood hopes and dreams.

I see you have Yoshi's Safari, did you have a Super Scope?

>>4109675
I did. What a waste of money that was.

>>4109630
Lotsa good games, only a couple stinkers. Good collection bro

>>4110706

Not the other person, but I have Arcades Revenge as well. Honestly fuck that game.

Pretty good stuff, I owned or rented most of these.

Your N64 collection has a lot of classics but it's missing racing games like Wave Race 64 and F-Zero X.

>>4109630
Pretty small. Do you have more now that you're 10?

>>4112197
Not really. I asked my mom to tell Santa to get me some new games for Christmas, but last year he brought me one of those generic Super Nintendo controllers instead of the real one so maybe I should tell her to ask Mrs. Claus insted.

>>4110706
Could you identify the stinkers for us?

>>4117018
Super Nintendo. Have a second copy of DKC in the system.

>>4117019
I actually like the Genesis but hate the games I have. Donated from Chad brother.

>>4117021
Probably my most "curated" collection as NES games are fucking expensive.

>>4117017

Konami quality. Good music, variety between stages, cool dash mechanic. I say go for it

>>4117026

Nice stuff, I am jelly of your Pokemon Stadium.

I love these threads!

Here are my Sega games, more classics coming.

>>4117046
>Ah! So this is Star Fox!

SNES. Need to get a few more games to finish this off.

My N64 games, I think I have all the games I want for it. Debating getting some retro Pokemon so I can play the Stadium games again.

>>4117069
You don't want Goemon's Great Adventure?

>>4117067
I dig it. I need more games in my SNES collection desu. Definitely more RPGs.

>>4117063
I was surprised when I saw it too. I'm not familiar with the 2600 so when I saw it I was giggling to myself. It plays surprisingly similar honestly.

>>4117061
I always think about getting a Dreamcast but have always stopped myself because there isn't a whole lot of games I personally want to play. Seeing pics like this makes me want one again.

>>4117069
Pokemon Puzzle League is the tightest shit. My dad comes over and plays it all the time with me.

>>4109630
Why do you have the protective cover on Mortal Kombat 2 and not, say, Megaman X ?

>>4117051
Who signed off at Sony of America that Greatest Hits box design? Big fucking green spines!

>>4117025
Used to have almost all these. No idea what happened to them

Drawer / hand fag here. What shelves do you guys have? Post big tall bookshelves please. I hate my drawers.

>>4117080
At Chicago Comic con I got Pokemon Puzzle League autographed by Veronica Taylor. That is an old picture.

>>4117076
I don't have any nostalgia for it sadly. Never played it when it came out nor do I have anyone to enjoy it with.

>>4117101
I don't have nostalgia for it either, but it's a great game.
Also, it's great as a single-player too.

Part of my collection. I was always poor so I preferred to buy pirated copies of the games. When a new console would come out, I would sell the old games to buy new ones (until I could find a way to pirate them). Lost a lot of great (and rare) games like that. I regret it now but what can you do..

I have a few hundred carts. At work though so I'll post it later.

>>4109630
Anybody know anything about this pin, I know it was given out at a tradeshow in 1993 but I can't find any others.

Trying to put a fair price on it but I have no idea.

Yeah I'm a PAL pleb

>>4117965
>>>/biz/

>>4117969
Still a neat selection

I hope you didn't buy some of those recently though, the prices went retarded in the last couple of years. I remember buying Super Metroid for £5 in 2012

>>4118125
All fairly recent purchases unfortunately. I've definitely payed over the odds for some of them but it's not like I'm wasting money that I need for food/rent or anything. I do have a local retro store which is genrally cheaper than eBay but it's mostly full of landfill games, you gotta keep an eye out for the good stuff.

>>4109630
I own all snes, gameboy and gMeboy color gamss. What's the point anymore I've started kissin them. L

>>4118079
Yeah because they would know shit about a 24 year old retro game item ya mook

>>4109630
No Majora's Mask / 10

>>4116995
Where's the gamecube? Also clean up a bit, room looks like shit

>>4118136
Yeah since getting back into playing SNES in the last few years I've given up on PAL and just gone Super Famicom, 10 times cheaper in most cases and of course everything that was never released outside of Japan. All the lose carts probably cost me the same as what PAL Castlevania IV goes for these days. Boxed stuff was £12 at most.

>>4118205
Well /vr/ isn't for appraising your shit either.

>>4117021

Appropriate collection, I'd say.

>>4118227
I use a Wii for gamecube stuff. I do need to clean. That's after about a month of not giving a shit about the cleaning it up.

>>4118231

one of my favourite n64's.

>>4124340
and for some reason I don't actually have a picture of my PS1/Dreamcast/Gameboy games.

>>4124342
and for shits and giggles.

>>4124340
I was thinking of picking up one of the ice blue ones here soon.
Also, how does gauntlet play on the n64?
Ive never seen any footage but have experience with the later games

>>4124350
Love the Ice Blue one as well. I want to pick up a couple of the coloured N64's eventually.

Ganutlet 64 is the best version of the game aside from maybe Dreamcast, but the DC version plays more like the sequel so it's kind of cheating I suppose.

>>4118228
that's a nice collection of RPG games you got there

>>4124356
Very nice ill have to pick it up.
I just recieved pokemon stadium today and it made me want to revist the gameboy.
Hows the market for that?

>>4124367
Definitely should. Such a great game still one of my favourites to this day. It can be played alone with no issues, but obviously it's a lot of fun with friends as well.

The gameboy market isn't that bad I would say. Most likely you'll run into a couple of hard to find/overpriced games, but overall it shouldn't be that expensive to jump in and start collecting again.

>>4109630
>WCW vs. nWo World Tour
You should check out Virtual Pro Wrestling 64, the same game, but with more moves, better AI, more venues and music, and a larger roster.

>>4124371
As far as gameboy goes i was wondering what the average condition youd find most games/accessories/handhelds?
I know a lot of that stuff was probably owned by younger kids so that could effect overall finds

>>4124439
depends on what you are looking for. most games usually don't seem to be in that bad of shape. you'll probably find a more than a couple with marker written on them or something. accessories and handhelds have held up pretty well too.

Recently added Japanese Astal.

Pretty good, but you lose points for the cats being OOB

>>4125974
I also own 3 PVM's as well; one on my computer desk and two on a separate desk.

I have no idea why I like collecting game gear shit

>>4125725
Not everyone started collecting last year summer kid. I've had it for 15 years. Also only paid $5 each for x and x2, $14 for 7.

>>4125725
Some people take care of their stuff and werent in diapers when those games came out

X3 retailed for $74 and the price has never dipped because it was a very limited production at the end of the SNES life cycle. Quit samefagging pretending to be an adult.

>>4124316
I need solid RPG games for my collection.
Can I get some recommendations other than the usual suspects? (OoT, Quest 64)

>>4127260
Thanks anon, appreciate it!

>>4128517
>implying pawn shops care about rare games in the early 2000's
>retail means anything


Spotted the 12 year old. Just because you're bitter you weren't around to get deals doesn't mean you have to be an ass anon. Terrible logic too so you're also stupid. No one knew the rarity of certain games back then and even though you're a rude underage prick you still got this for free.

So I want to get into collecting my favorite games. Would anyone give a suggestion on how to do this?

>>4130021
It really is the same as buying anything look for good deals and jump on them.

Try pawn shops, garage sales, flea markets and so on. Or use eBay. There are lots of good games you can get for a low price, but the high profile games usually run a lot more.

Retro gaming is still a cheap hobby contrary to what a lot of people will tell you. Just don't go overboard and buy games you will actually play. That's my advice.

>>4130056
Well I want half of my collection to be retro stuff and half of my collection to be newer games. Basically what I want to do is have a collection of my top 50/100 games on a shelf so I can have it. I've set up a shelf, but I don't have all the games in my collection yet. Mostly have to get retro games.

>>4130021
For most consles, Japanese equivalents are much, much cheaper. This is a good way to get games that dont rely on story or dialog.

I used to keep a collection on display like some of the pics in here, but i got tired of the constant cleaning that came with it. These days i keep my consoles/games stored so they don't collect dust and pull out one at a time.

>>4130213
>cleaning
that 10 minute dusting every week or so really killed you eh?

>>4109630
>no chrono trigger

am disappoint.

>>4114871
how did you have the dignity to purchase 3 virtualboys?

>>4130369
It's not a bad system, the reviewers exaggerate

>>4130213

>>4130360
>i dust my collection of a couple consoles and 12 games every week or so

>>4130680

Oh the irony. When does hike school start up again? I want these summer kids to leave.

That post went straight over your head didn't it.

>>4131284
>I was only pretending to be retarded

First week here huh. Enjoying your stay so far? Also your mom wanted me to remind you to clean your filthy room.

Hey I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a wonder adapter? I have a japanese n64 on the way and i was considering getting one

>>4109630
what point of collecting? just download emulator, rom and play

>>4130213
Just get some of those plastic fold out cartridge boxes. They're relatively cheap and keep the carts dust free.

>>4117081
I think it's because the cover came with MKII, but I have no idea how I came into possession of Megaman X and I've never really thought about switching them.

>>4131450
I didn't really collect on purpose, I've had these since I was 9 and just held onto them.

>>4131450
T. Poorfag

>>4130213
Buy custom cases for your games. It will be worth it and it will look nice on your shelf.

>>4131450
>just download emulator, rom & play
If you can't afford it, then yeah downloading is the route to go. I'm sorry that you work at McDonald's for minimum wage. But as for us rich folks, collecting is fun.

>>4131450
It's fun.

>>4131314

>>4131450
The classic "why own the original of something if i can just get a generic knockoff for free/cheap" argument

ballpark estimate, how much would a complete retail set of SNES games cost to complete?

I just stole
Crash Warped, Crash team racing, Gran turismo 2, Pac man world, The spyro collection, Toy story racer from my works garbage compactor that was about to be used to crush them and added them to my collection of ps1 games
Did I do a good thing or a bad thing?

>>4135217
Why wouldn't they donate them?

>>4135213
Honestly, probably too hard to estimate. Every so often there is someone on ebay who might sell a complete collection for a console and instead of researching each game to check how much it is they just put it for a few thousand.

If you're asking for yourself I say don't and that it would be a very stupid move. Buy a game because you love it. I bought a earthbound cartridge for $220, some may think that is ridiculous but I love the game and don't regret it a bit.
>>4135217
You did good anon, you did good.

>>4135296
dunno they always throw out anything before ps2

Should I sell my stuff /vr/?
I collected retro games for over a decade, but it's been years since I got anything new.
And everytime I check Ebay out of curiousity I just see a lot of retarded high prices.

>PAL
Worthless (^:

Okay but in all seriousness I say no. Unless you are in need of money then I have to say you'll probably regret selling your games, I see it all the time from people. At the very least I suggest reviewing each game and thinking "Am I going to play this at some point again, will i play this for years to come?". If you have stuff you feel you never will play then getting rid of it is good and allows you less clutter and hopefully allows someone who would appreciate it to now own it. Honestly I'm from the US so I assume there are price differences but from these pics there are some really valuable things here, I think the situation require deep consideration if you decide to sell but I say no, or as I said review your collection and see if there are things you don't want.

>>4135213
Go price it out yourself lazyass. It's going to cost a small fortune just for loose carts. Pricecharting.com

>>4135213
In box or loose?
several thousand even loose,

>>4135360
Nice collection.
Don't sell it, unless you never want to look back.
Selling my collections is one of my biggest regrets.

>>4135360
>>4135363
>>4135365

What >>4135379 said. I'm a PALfag and I'm pretty sure that several of those games are worth a lot in Europe. Even if it might be interesting to sell them for a lot of money, you might regret it at some point if you wanna own the original games again, especially if you want them boxed like in your pics. It really depends on how much the games still mean anything to you and if you ever (or regularly even) want to play them again. If I were you I'd keep them unless you're into some real financial troubles.

>>4135393
i have a full 700 cart collection. it was way closer to six figures than 5

>>4135520
Post it. Never seen anyone post a full set here.

>>4124316
I just received shadows of the empire the other day, and I deleted all their saves on the cartridge. I sat there and thought about them all bonding over the game, who knows how many years ago, and felt a little bad. Anyone else get this feeling?

>>4137748
I've thought about it when I got N64, SNES and 3DS cartridges and saw some older save files but most of the time they never got far in the game anyway. Not only that but I'm sure that the people who made those files barely even remember it still being on it.

Some of those files had stupid but kind of funny in hindsight names like 007.

Holy shit. Can you post a glimpse at least?

If I could only go back in time, I'd save all my SNES boxes, and not collect (worthless) baseball cards. All that effort I put into making complete sets, and now they're not worth anything. Yet the SNES trash I threw out is worth a pretty penny.

>>4142814
But if you could go back in time everyone else can too and they will all save snes boxes and when everyone returns baseball cards will be thru the roof
