Are you satisfied with what you've got? Do you plan on collecting more? What's your rarest vidya?

[Anonymous No.8615260]

I’ve got a complete collection.

>tfw have a bunch of n64 games going back to to the 90s but just use an everdrive for everything anyway because it's too much of a pain in the ass trying to find the right game cart when they have no end labels

[Anonymous No.8615319]

I stopped buying games after college but I have some cool Nintendo stuff from back in the day.

Here's Gamecube (Viewtiful Joe is somewhere else)

Why anyone would ruin their carts with these labels is beyond me...

[Anonymous No.8615374]

>>8615364
Looks like the labels are on a plastic case, not the cart itself.
Sticker labels are pretty easy to peel off anyways, rubbing alcohol takes care of any residue.

[Anonymous No.8615382]

>>8615328
Yeah considering a couple years ago they were all like $5

[Anonymous No.8615405]

>>8615374
I don't think he meant as in "irreversible damage" but rather as in "making the game carts look like shit".
Which I agree with. Those DIY lables are fucking ugly as sin. I get why people do them, because otherwise it's a pain to find the right game, but they still just look absolutely horrible. I wish there were a better solution to storing N64 carts

Another picture but with some GB/GBC games. I think I have more, but too lazy to take pics. Man I miss the good ol’ days of walking into fleamarkets and yardsales and buying a bunch of Gameboy games for like a dollar each

[Anonymous No.8616687]

>what are those top labels?
ugly garbage

[Anonymous No.8616693]

>>8616687
They may be ugly but at least they're functional. The N64 carts should have had top labels from the beginning. You have to pull each cart out manually to check what they are otherwise

[Anonymous No.8616719]

no photos because the state of me and my partner's collection is a mess (lots of it stored at both of our parents' places), but I've started cataloguing what I know we do have and this is apparently the most valuable stuff?
not sure about actual "rarest". i guess conker and the neo geo pocket games?
most of the games ive been buying lately are GB/gba puzzle games, because they're usually cheap and I actually play them, otherwise I mostly just buy weird crappy peripherals/controllers now because I just think they're neat

shitty panorama but whatever

[Anonymous No.8616762]

>>8616693
Yes because it's such a hassle to spend a minute flipping through your carts.

[Anonymous No.8616797]

>>8616762
Who cares if it is or isn't? The point is the label is functional and does a job that the bare cartridge itself doesn't do. Also OP has his label on the boxes, not the carts, so the carts aren't even ruined by them.

[Anonymous No.8616804]

>>8616762
That's fine if you only have a few. I think I have ~40 lined up on a shelf. That means every time I want to get a game, I need to slide them out one-by-one trying to find that single game I'm looking for. It's a pain in the ass. I agree that the DIY end labels look hideous though.
I just end up using an everdrive instead, even for the games I own.

Is deathsmiles worth playing? The ost is fantastic from what I've listened to.

OP here, Can anyone think of a better storage option for 64 carts?

I took a rotary tool to the drawers to cut off some tabs, but the most you can get in one of those is 48.

[Anonymous No.8620145]

A lot of my PC games are in storage. I'd say between big box, small box & jewel case, I've got ~1,000 titles. I won't count duplicates.

Of financially valuable, let me check eBay for a moment: OK, eBay has gone crazy with high-end prices so I'll ignore them.

Of rare stuff, I have some European stuff. I've got the "T-rating" Oblivion box (later changed to "M-rating" because, you know.. .boobies). I've got a complete Daggerfall big box. I've got an obscure game called "Grendel." Some big box expansion packs to fairly obscure games. I've got a fair number of "multi-media" CDs back when "Hey! I'm popular because of [fill in profession here]! I'll have my own multi-media CD!" (ex. Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge, etc.). I've got some music CDs that also have data tracks on them that were meant to be played on a computer.

I went "huh" when I saw the Sega CD version of Wheel of Fortune and then laughed out loud as my gaze continued to the right

[Anonymous No.8620894]

Got most of what I want (Probably even going to sell some games like Virtua tennis is 1 and F355 Challenge). Only want to definitely get Shenmue 2, Dead or Alive 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica and one House of the dead 2.
Not that other Dreamcast games don't interest me but I don't want to get a bunch of games I am only semi interested in and that end up only taking up space in my shelf.

Well you're going to have to stand. Unless you want to sit single file against that shower curtain I stole from a homeless man who was using it as a tent by draping it over those two chairs. Also if you don't want fleas and bedbugs.

Here's one shelf of the import stuff specifically. Top row is all MSX, bottom left is Super Famicom, bottom middle is PC Engine with a few TG-16 CD games, and bottom right is Saturn.
