/vr/ - Retro Games

>>799626
here's a pic of my storage bins. I had since removed the handhelds and put them on the shelf. This pic is a month or so old.

>>799626
Shit dude, why do you have so many Game Boys?

>>799643
I really like handhelds...I don't have a problem...

>>799645
With that many you should dedicate yourself to completing 16-player Faceball 2000. All you need is 16 GB original link cables (probably the ones that could hook from Brick to Pocket so as to get those pockets and colors in on the action) and 16 copies of Faceball 2000, plus a bunch of 4 player adapters.

>>799651
I've never heard of that game...

But I must do this...I just need more grey brick gameboys. Just you wait. Do I need 16 copies of the game too?

Apologies for the shit pictures, I don't have a proper camera.

Yes I am that guy from youtube.

also sorry for the shit pictures.

Inb4 Vintanon posts and derails the thread

This is the only really expensive portion of my collection.

>>799831
anon, you aren't the only one who reads retro gamer.

>>799818
God dame it sega saturn I want that

I've gotten a few games since this picture but I'm lazy and its too dark to take a new one.

>>799841
That wont stop me from posting pics of collections I find awesome.

>Panzer Dragoon Saga is a really rare game and it's super good
>10 different people post it in every 'collection' thread
>9 out of those 10 don't even have the superior Zwei

What the fuck man. The music alone, in the first one, warrants owning it; even if the second did everything better.

>>799876
I hear you.

>let's all get only the RAREST Saturn titles to show off or something

Haven't seen one person with Astal yet. Or some of the other good, yet common, Saturn games.

Babby's first steps
I do have an NES with zelda, mario, etc. but that's in a cupboard somewhere.

I'm going to go buy new shelves tomorrow.

This should be large enough to fit all my games.

Where do you get so many gameboys? I'd love to start a collection of game boy colors and advances all though each a different color or style.

>>799716
A guy near me is selling Dragon Force for 10 dollars.

Is it a good buy?

>>799818
You lucked up nigger, I remember you. I hope you burn in seven hells.
>>799881
>Let's get all the RARE saturn titles to show off or something!
That projection. What's the point of posting a collection if you don't have any rare titles? Being that the Saturn didn't have many great platforms, its exclusives that WERE good are naturally the same ones that are now RARE. Everybody starts somewhere, but please don't project on lucky bastards or people who shelled out for those games because they're missing the cheaper games, that's ass backwards logic.

My unpacking thread was removed, but can you guys confirm if this is sealed?
I thought it would be wrapped in plastic, but only 2 tapes.

>>800691
Almost any non-sports US Saturn game is good for $10

>>799626

>This is all I have.
I'm so jelly, OP. Maybe one day I will have such a collection.

>>799818
There was RE on Saturn? wut?

>>801102
Really? Not even any modern games or anything like that?

>>800661
Here is mine, if you are intrested. It isn't that hard to find Gameboys, but if you are looking for ones iwth good condition, welp, it's a bit harder.

>>799626
Dem sure am a lot of GBs. One question: Why?

>>799626
Oh man get a load of this new collecotr. Only 4 copies of Pac-Man? Please, son. I had 38. Come back when you have more Pac-Man carts or nobody will take you seriously.

>>801403
Well it's pretty obvious this guy plays it loud.

>>801353
Well yeah, I do own a DS, PS3, and a Wii. But that's not retro stuff.

>>801403
What I've wanted forever was a gbc and gba of this type, but I think they're Japanese only.

>>801550
That's a custom case. The seethrough orange GameBoys have a Miranda logo on them, or some wierd turkish version of miranda. Promotional only.

Well, as far as I know.

>>801579
no, that's different

It's a Jap only version with a see through orange front and see through black back called Daiei.

>>801619
Oh, sorry my bad. I looked up ~88 different kind of GameBoys, from the Original to Color, including Light. Hard to keep them in mind.

ITT Gameboy collections.

>>799701
are you that guy from youtube?

This is old now, despite only being taken about a week ago. I rearrange stuff when I get bored.

eh, why not... i usually post in majority of these threads anyway...

>>801878
xbox and picachu vcr has changed places since this was taken.

>>801883
i really need to take a new picture of that one.. i cut down the amount of excess cables by about half by feeding everything to the trinitron and using the composite output it has to a streaming device when needed instead of redundency directly to the device.

>>799708
Obsessed much?

>>801640

I don't think so! Yes I am a Game Gear; don't hit on me you silly Game Boys!

Full disclosure: I did paste in a better picture of my screen. The game that's unfortunately blanked out by light is Power Rangers. Not pictured are some games I should have by next week: Bust-A-Move, Super Smash TV and Primal Rage, all of them complete.

>>801946
What's the game next to Power Rangers?

>>801949
Nevermind I'm retarded

>>801952
Yea, you are.

>>801946
That Vampire game is actually pretty awesome, one of the best exclusives for SMS.

>>801883

Could you BE any more of a faggot?

Vidya Gaems

>>801968
He's just a troll, ignore it.

>>801960

Yeah it's a great game but it's nearly identical to Castlevania. The only difference is that you can switch main weapons, really.

>>801962
it's not so bad, in exchange for doing yard work and a few other things i stay rent free so i have a fair bit of spending money and they even rented out the room across the hall to my girlfriend for $200 a month with utilities and a good portion of the food included.

>>801965
The top 3 boxes....muh nigga.
Implying you need a zapper to play one the best goddamn NES games ever made

>>801965
Nigga you got Pokemon sheets?

I like you.

>>801924
-1 for blurry
-10 for monster light
-9999999999999 for anon mask
+10 for battle flag
-30 for battle flag+monster light combo

F- , I'm going to have a discussion with your parents.

I don't play video games too much

>>801782
Are those the DIY cassete tape cases?

>>801976
Not sure if reverse trolling, or actually serious.

>>801991
yup. I've got cases for all of them, but I haven't gotten around to making covers for all of them. Thus the 5-6 laying out in front.

>>802003

This is actually quite good, especially considering how cheap it is to get these cases new

>>801968
What's wrong with having any of those things?

>>801973
I'm a retro gaming enthusiast and a strong supporter of states rights, how does that make me a "troll"?

>>802032
>>802047
So you must be the Jin Saotome of /vr/ then?

My retro gaming collection is pretty small right now, but I recently started collecting. This is what I have so far.

>>802084
Who?

All dem nostalgic feels. Wish i wouldve kept my systems through the years.

>>802087
Pretty cool. You should clean the marks off that NES, though.

>>801962
Being this jelly because of a Pokemon VCR.

>>802089
Ignore him, he doesn't know about our freedoms.
Seriously though, sell that faggy lamp and buy some vidya with it. Then stash the mask in a closet or something, you know, hide your power level.

>>802095

Just finished doing that, actually.

>>802032
Come on man, if people keep yelling about it, why do you keep doing it? Just take down the LEJUNN mask, or the confederate flag, which by the way, is not actually an accurate symbol of states rights at all. Take one down, and people will stop bitching, k?

>>802089
He's a tripfaggot, who like most tripfaggots trolls the fuck out of his chosen board and generally makes everybody miserable. Every board has one, looks like this one gets you.

>>802107
Good man.

>>802109
or place them where they won't be in the video game pictures so they won't know they are there.

what they don't know, won't hurt them

Here is a picture i took of most my master system and mega drive games before I moved, everything is being stored at the moment sadly

>>802131
9/10 would play sega master race video games with.

>>802131
Impressive.

>>800701
Any one?

>>802109
As much as I hate the tyrants, I'm going to have to agree with this guy. If you want to advocate sates rights, put either a square battle flag, or the stars+bars, next to your state flag. Although the Navy did have a rectangular version with a very light blue, your version of the rectangular battle flag was never used. Alternatively you could fly the stainless, or stained flag, but too many people confuse that with various states (unless you want that to happen).

>>802151

I wouldnt imagine something like that would be wrapped.

Does seem a little odd just having the tape though. Is the tape quite thick?

>>802207
No it's not.
There's pictures of the tape in my imgur link, but gonna take one more.
It's gotten little lose from this side and sorry for bad quality but picture taken with phone.

>>802131

Oh my, I'm getting a little flustered here. Anon-kun, please take me into your gaming dungeon. I never want to leave such beauty

>>799658
and 7 four player adapters

I have no idea if this would work, but it's supposed to.

>>801962
Watch your mouth. That's nes bedboy your talking about,

>>802225
Well there are no other tape marks by the looks of things so its possible that the tape is the only seal that has ever been on the product.

>>802330
I bet the framerate is horrendous

>>802403
Thanks for the help.

>>802165
Confederatebro is educated. I support this post.

Here is the bulk of my collection

>>802787
And here is everything else. Mostly. I have a dozen or so Atari 800 games, but I don't feel like pulling them out.

>>802787
>>802804
Here is how I have it all set up on my shelves.

So many thrift store treasures...

Found the four non-Ninja Gaiden boxed NES for $2 each at various thrifts. Zelda boxed was $10 along with two boxed Genesis games (one was Light Crusaders). Picked up Tetris Attack sealed for $40 at a local retro/import store.

Managed to snag Super Smash Bros for 2 at my favorite thrift. They always sell for cheap. Sorry for the unreadable labels.

Got lucky at a few thrifts and haggled my ass off for some of these. Gave in and bought Battletoads/Rygar/Battle of Olympus/Snake Rattle & Roll at the retro/import. Got Bayou Billy and Monster in my Pocket in transit from eBay. Craigslist ad up looking to trade my dupes (Excitebike, Castlevania 2, Kung Fu, Rad Racer, Mario/Duck Hunt, and Little Nemo). Got my first copy of Mega Man 2 signed by a bunch of peeps from Nerdapalooza 2010, along with a paper set list from another nerdcore show. First Contra copy has a bunch of sigs from VG rock bands (Protomen, Megas, etc). Recently found an antique store selling NES/Genesis for $3 a pop, cleaned them out of everything good, hence the plastic Funco cases (Punch Out and a few others had their booklets).

Hung on to a few of the Genesis carts before I even had something to play them on. Got a bunch from my thrift and the antique store (Sonic and Knuckle was $5 though). Found an empty Gunstar Heroes case (my heart broke) and it currently houses Earthworm Jim 2.

Someone local sold me the Retron 3 for $15, figured it was a deal since I run monthly gaming meets (last Friday, meet at Cici's, then my place, averages 15-20 people). Got the Lunar 2 hardbound guide from an ex years ago, missing the stickers. Got the SNES without wires for $3 from the thrift, it was covered in marks and gross, but I attacked it with cotton swabs + windex and a magic eraser. The NES is signed by a bunch of people from Bit Gen Gamer Fest (5?), like The Megas, Brentalfloss, Mega Ran, Those Who Fight, Rare Candy.

Battlestation part one for my gaming meet. PS2 and Dreamcast just hanging out.

Battle station part 2, for NES/Genesis/SNES/N64. Might replace the VCR combo with a 21" Magnavox flat front sitting on another table. The Retron's NES ports don't work, so I need to replace the guts in my non-working NES, or find a working one.

My DVD/newer game shelf. Been in rhythm games for a long time, have a big gimp trunk full of Rock Band instruments, full pro cymbal drums, a few mic stands, Mustang pro guitar. Also have a 27" TV set up for Brawl, keeping the wear off those Wavebirds with knockoff GC controllers from Target (on clearance for $5). Three Dreamcasts hiding next to my Xbox Fat, along with PS1 w/screen.

>>803478
>I run monthly gaming meets
That sounds really nice.

>>803505
It is, I've been doing them for the last six years, going to keep having them for the foreseeable future. Mostly furs, but I keep the bullshit to a minimum. Just glad people are enjoying themselves. I also help in/run VG rooms at some nearby conventions.

Here's a picture that shows everything in my collection.

Rating?

>>803518
I wish I knew of something like that near me, furs or not.

Hell, I'd even be willing to start something like that myself if knew some people in the area that would be interested.

Where you at?

>Captcha: approve gamigea

Would post mine, but I still haven't updated my SNES collection picture (there are a lot of games) and I'm going out later today looking for more games. Would be silly to post pictures that might be outdated by the end of the day.

>>803534
Maryland. It's open invite, as long as you're not too much of an asshole. That spot is reserved for me. Luckily we don't get too many people demanding to set up FPS. Lots of card gaming too (Dominion, Cards Against Humanity).

>>803534
And there's always people in the relative area. Go on meetup sites, figure things out. A lot of creeps and a lot of good people, and some nice creepy people.

Found a guy at the retro/import with a near-complete collection of NES US releases. Gave him the info and my email, doubt he'll show. Oh well.

>>803537
>>803542
Hmm, your only a state over from me.

And what type of meetup sites are you talking about.

>>803551
I don't know, meetup.com? Google some local gaming spots, put up some flyers, stuff like that. I don't advertise it too heavily, I'm pretty much at capacity as far as space for people. If it gets bigger I'll have to start renting halls.

>>803551
Also, 3308-5556-7709. Been playing Animal Crossing.

>>803557
>>803561
>meetup.com
I don't know why, but its name being so damn mundane made me giggle.

>Google some local gaming spots
Aside from some game stores and shit, I don't know of any specific "local gaming spots"; I'd figure that would be due to the ridiculous number of colleges(keeping most of the people on campus)

Added; been playing the same.

>dem gameboys

why so many op?

I'm lazy and messy
a lot of my stuff is out of frame, but i don't care

>>804421
how it looked a year or so ago

how many of you guys actually play these damn things, and how many just collect and hoard?

>>804421

>Flying Spaghetti Monster and Happyface on your guitar
>That messy as fuck setup
>Disregard for your games by just tossing them into the shelf any which way

0/10, you make me sick

>>804452

I play every game I own. If I don't like it then I sell it on a local site for cheap to get rid of it.

>>799626

What TV is that and how much was it? It looks nice.

>>803526
only 5 snes games?
flashcarts?
emulators?
don't like the snes?

>pic unrelated

>>804452
I play ALMOST all of my games. I don't touch the dungeon crawler D&D games and other HOPE YOU GOT 40 HOURS TO BURN games so much these days. I really only collect because I've lost everything I owned several times, and I was too poor as a kid to own even ONE PERCENT of what I have now.

>>804502
It's a 42" Panasonic Viera plasma. I'm not sure on the other specifics, but it's a really nice tv. I bought it probably about 2 years ago now, and I love the thing. Would recommend highly.

i made short video about my room.. wanna see it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZxWjYLs6SM

just kidding, it's actually my recording studio

My modest NES collection. There's only about five or so more games that I want to get, though Bubble Bobble Part 2 is a pipe dream right now.

I have a decent sized collection of SNES and N64 games too but they aren't all with me at the moment.

>>807849

I haven't found a better CRT yet, but soon.

Not shown is my SNES drawers, and my PS3 stuff which is attached to the big screen.

>>801419
if you trying to make a joke, you failed, that isn't even remotely near being funny

>>802804
what's the point of having a famicom if you are going to just get games that were released in the west?

>>804451
>Flying Spaghetti Monster and Happyface on your guitar
they look quite faded, could have been put there when they were still in vogue, either way though, who cares, let people enjoy what they enjoy

>>801946

Perfect game to have playing :)

Still need to take pictures of the loose Genesis, NES, SNES, and N64 stuff but oh well.

>>808176

Where did you get those?

What is that blank Sega Saturn game supposed to be? I've never seen anything like that before.

Also, your Sega console games are most impressive. You have practically every great Sega CD game ever made. Shining Force CD, Sonic CD, Ecco the Dolphin and Earthworm Jim (arguably the best versions of both of those games), Snatcher, Final Fight, Lunar, shit dude. I'm quite impressed.

>>808176
What is the blank Sega Saturn game?

>>802787
You have Superman 64

The one you can't see is Marioparty 3. Sorry for the bad quality.

I also have about 10 more on loan.

>>808190
Guy at a local game store back in 2010 or so had a bunch of the FF7 and 8 ones on display in the case and I asked if he had any of the 9 ones. He said he did and that he'd be willing to sell them for the right price. Think he started at $200 but we settled at $150. Wasn't sure if I made the right decision at paying that much for them back then but seeing as the Freya/Quina and Amarant/Eiko ones alone seem to go for that much I guess I made out pretty well.

I've been tempted to open them for years, though, since even though they're worth a bunch I wouldn't want to sell them anyway.

>>808226
>>808232
Thank you! I've always been a huge Sega fan, especially with the Genesis. Although my Dreamcast collection is next to nothing. Of note, I have Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, Garou, and PSO. I need to make room to display my Saturn stuff better, though.

The blank Saturn case is Astal, a really great platformer by Sega that nobody, including them, remembers. For some reason every copy is misprinted and has no title on the spine.

I dont feel like making a new thread so I will post here:

What's the best way to know that a yardsale is going to have retro video games? I've started going to some but they never seem to have old games.

>>808279

I remember Astal and I didn't even have a sega saturn, aside from renting one from blockbuster once or twice. Aside from Panzer Dragoon, this is one of the best games for the system. But my nostalgia goggles could be fogged.

>>801741

I made it the night before an anime con. Shaving cream bottle with yellow paper and a lot of clear tape. Cosplayed as Tab/Corn, which was fun because I was still into skating at the time (JGR led to a little under ten years of inline). Crashed some Air Gear shoots, managed not to get kicked out for wearing them inside (got really good at walking/not rolling in them).

>>808443
Also made the hat. Drew the lettering on an old yellow shirt, cut it out, sewed it on.

>>810954
And completely forgot the picture.

>>811010

The hat looks like it's supposed to be in Japanese, but even if that's the case the last letter is written incorrectly. What's it supposed to say? It looks like it's supposed to say 'ヒート' to me.

>>811037
Yeah, it is. I'm pretty sure I made it backwards. It's supposed to say Corn (or the Japanese equivalent). Couldn't invite a weeabo spellchecker over at 4 in the morning on such short notice, so I copied it from character art.
