Dual Thread! Post your Collection!

[Anonymous No.1269604]

In this topic, post your collection for one system that you are most proud of. Please do not post every game for every system you have, limit yourself to one system (or two). Rate each other based on the quality and quantity of the games.

When I think about games, I don't think of myself as a collector. I have lots of games, but I play all of them. Rather, I find myself to have a library of games instead of a collection. Is this an authentic distinction? What do you all think? Are collections and libraries the same thing, or is there a difference?

Pic related; this is my Saturn library. I paid $9 on average for each game.

Half in real life, half online. Thanks for your compliment.

>>1269621

A) NBA Jam is a great game, so don't call it bulk. B) The other sports games came in a lot I got online. The same lot had RE, Herc's, Guardian Heroes, PZ, EJ2, and about a dozen other more common but still great games (like Tempest 2000, woefully addictive). C) I don't have anywhere to get rid of them and I've already used them for donor cases. I gave my dupes to a friend but even he didn't want some shitty NFL games.

You have quite a few games I'm looking to get. I really want Fighters Megamix because I always loved VF2 and Fighting Vipers. Is Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV good? It's a game I see go for pretty cheap as far as Saturn games are concerned. Finally, Die Hard Arcade is another title I want.

>>1269627

>Is Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV good?
If you're a Romance of the Three Kingdoms guy. Basically, they're all pretty much the same although the Saturn one has the best graphics of any that I own. It's a dry tactical wargame. Fighters Megamix is, IMO, the ultimate Sega fighting game I don't know why they don't do new versions of it even if just with the Vipers. Die hard arcade is also the bomb.

I just noticed you have a US version of Christmas Nights which I didn't even know was a thing. My wife would probably really enjoy that this season.

I had no idea actual discs could be used for emulating Saturn. As for the other games, you sound like you had a lot. Don't regret friend, you had your time with them and now someone else is having fun with them.

[Anonymous No.1269678]

It's out of date actually, I've got a few new ones since then:
Megaman 64 (CIB)
Paper Mario (CIB)
Yoshi's Story (CIB)
Goemon's Great Adventure (cart only)

also this collection was build up almost from zero because I sold my old N64 with all the games I had, including many classics like SM64. The only one that remained from my original collection is Majora's Mask, I also kept my original OOT and Mischief Makers, but they were stolen by a fat fuck, so I rebought MM, and didn't bother with OOT because I have the gamecube version and OOT3D.

>Die Hard Trilogy similar to Arcade at all?
No, Die Hard Arcade is Dynamite Deka. It was localized as a Die Hard game just for the hell of it when it was released in arcades and I'm sure it made more money because of it then they just pretty much ported that US version of Dynamite Deka to the Saturn.

[Anonymous No.1269705]

Too bad Die Hard Trilogy didn't have a free roaming mode, and always had a timer, it was really intense, like GTA

[Anonymous No.1269725]

>>1269693

Yeah, it's really shitty, but I got it for real cheap and it's worth to check it out, at least to imagine how it would been turned out if the development wasn't rushed to death, initially it looks and plays great, but then you notice all the flaws.

[Anonymous No.1269750]

>>1269642
I've had that game since it came out, practically. I was really really into survival horror when it was still fresh.

I just recently got R?MJ: The Mystery Hospital though. I should really take it out of that bag because the bag doesn't really look good on the shelf.

Hopefully it'll be different enough to me to still give me a little bit of the fear feeling.

I actually tend to agree that there's no reason to let sports games take up space in your collection (with the exception, of stuff like NBA Jam) when they're essentially worthless, but I hate sports to start with.

You forgot to mention that some sports games are actually good games like Tecmo Super Bowl or Blades of Steel.

And some sports games are antiquated yet have something about them that makes them entertaining for one reason or another, like the speed glitches in John Elway's Quarterback or the ambulance running over players in Madden '92 for the Genesis.

this is my start on a saturn collection, I just got one a few months ago and I'm loving it. I had never even played one before I got one for myself and damn I was missing out. I am missing the manuals but have the cases for Pocket Fighter and Dragon Ball Z legends. I'm also missing the back for Xmen vs Street fighter but it was 15 bucks with the complete golden axe duel so I was happy. I've got lots more games coming in the mail like Salamander Deluxe pack, Space Harrier and lots more :D I still need to get more obvious shit but Its so expensive around here. Which is why I only have 3 non import games.

I got panzer dragon zwei and vampire hunter for 4 bucks each and cheap shipping because it was in canada I have luck with auctions sometimes.

Did you see me D&D Collection in my imports pic up there? It really is awesome and has given me a lot of joy. Speaking of joy, I assume you've got at least one Saturn Arcade Stick. I figured we were just posting games. If you don't, though, definitely buy one. For some reason they're dirt cheap and the quality is stellar.

It's also interesting that you mention Darius 2. I just got Segaia recently (on Genesis) and I own a three-monitor Taito cabinet that is NinjaWarriors but I've had a powerful desire to convert it into a Darius 2. The board is pretty much impossible to find though.

As far as recommendations for games just buy any shooter that's in your price range. I'm sure you know about Radiant Silvergun, Cotton and Twinkle Star Sprites. Of course anything Parodius or Force. That MSX collection has a number of decent shooters as do the Capcom Classics.
