Do you feel like you’re the only collector of a super specific series? have a huge collection of really cool but incredibly specific things that literally only you think are that cool?

Share them here, we’ll all be understanding :)

I for one really fuckin like puyo puyo, I have every game, nearly every piece of recorded media related to the series, and a number of holy grail type collectibles (employee ids, special limited prizes, unreleased demos etc) but I feel like I’m the only person of my kind lol.

Share your super niche collections, I wanna see em

I collect Game Boy games with soundtracks composed by Alberto González. Most of the games are cheap showelware.

I once came across a really cool PS2 budget title that inspired me to start buying budget games that look like shit on the off chance that I find an actually good game.
I've since then found some games so fucking awful that I've given up on any and all collecting goals and instead only buy games I know are good or at least interesting.

yeah I have all 3 Prince of Persia games on gamecube/ps2/xbox, and 3 copies of the ps3 HD collection. the gamecube are originals and so is 1 copy of the HD collection. I bought the rest of them for like 5 bucks each years ago when they were getting blown out at a closing down video store. I've never even owned an Xbox or Ps2.

Smurfs nightmare is unironically pretty damn good imo

Closest I can get to that is owning a CDi and both meme zelda games.

>> No.8754123

I have MOST of the bomberman games. Not all of them. But most of them. A lot of them, anyway, can never get them all in one picture. Most in cases, some custom cases for the loose cartridges I have. I'll post a picture later when I get home tomorrow.

I need (yes, need) the Gradius and Salamander Deluxe Packs but have yet to find them for the right price.

Also, technically retro because they came out for the OG Xbox as well, I have all 3 Burger King games.

It wont mean much here but ive got a small master system, pc engine and neo geo pocket color collection that normies just glaze over if i mention. I dont really have any friends but i do talk to people at work.

>> No.8754175

>>8754157
Post them! I want to see them.
The Neo Geo Pocket Color is extremely cool, in my opinion. I am lucky enough, as a a 26 year old, to have made friends with a rich kid in high school who had siblings around ten plus years older than him and have actually held a Neo Geo Pocket Color in my hands because of that fact. If you were looking for an excuse to show off your collection, here it is. I will at least appreciate them. It was a very cool console from what I can tell.
Post the rest as well, of course.

Both Smurf games are quite good. And general, all those Gameboy Infogrames games are just fine, but apart from the music, they're usually nothing special.

No. I have many rare and unusual things. But I've never gone so far as to """feel like""" I'm the only one who collects that shit. That would be literally fucking crazy.

ok lights out was passable.
anything else warranting me repurchasing the system?

anything remotely playable?

Pretty much just whatever was non-action. Though Duke Nukem was surprisingly decent, just don't expect it to be Duke Nukem.

sega pico and game.com is probably the only obscure shit i have.... and this handheld golf game from radioshack.

That’s cool. I don’t consider myself a collector, but I have 19 Bomberman games physically (but played about 30 of them total), releases ranging from 1990-2017. Mostly handheld ones.

my PC Engine library has no shooters in it

Pc game collection- mainly cds, lots of obscure shit even by retrofag standards- it was my gateway to gaming along with lcd and arcade games so that 90s multimedia boom has always entranced me.

Lcd stuff- as said above, this got me into gaming while my friends had the og gameboy. Love the art and designs of these little suckers and seeing simple designs being addictive or those who tried to cram a complex game into one.

Virtual boy- got it a year after it was discontinued and have always loved it.

That’s pretty sick. Vectrex has always been one of the coolest systems imo.
Unfortunately zoomers don’t give a shit about anything pre Nes, so it doesn’t get a lot of love like I think it deserves

>> No.8755962

>>8755882
Nice. I only have Cosmic Chasm and Star Ship as a cib. I do have a dozen or so loose carts that came when I bought the console. I might consider getting some overlays for them.

i think im leaving this one in the past

there are euro reprints that have the manuals and everything, i went that route instead.
the cdi has much better stuff on it than the "zelda" titles anon...

>> No.8756613

Im probably one of like, 3 people that cared enough about the Watara Supervision to get almost every game for it. I kind of fell into at a convention with the TV-Link and 10 or so games. I have basically everything but the stupid rare Mahjong game.

The only thing I can consider niche:
I have a Japanese PS3. The original fat 60 GB model that runs PS2 games natively.
But it sounds like some NASA wind test chamber when you run anything with it.
I have done maintenance onto it and have since invested into a PS2 and PS1 in order not to kill the PS3 prematurely.

I have The Apprentice as well, which is the best game for the CDi. Not that it means much.
