Does anyone collect for other systems besides nes. I collect for several systems but trying to concentrate on n64..Anyone else going after n64. I can see n64 harder to find in the future as I belive it was the last system that had cartridge based games. Im also trying to finish off my atari 7800 collection but it seems the people with the 7800 games set prices and hardly ever start auctions at 99 cents and let them run.

I pick up N64 games whenever I see something that catches my eye but the systems Im focusing on is the NES of course and SNES... Im at around 150 snes games and 80 n64 games but im finding them very difficult to find locally....

a little bit of sealed gameboy and snes, in a half-assed manner. that's about it. It's fun to diversify at least a little bit.

I only seriously collect for NES (I can't afford anything else) I have like 10 other systems but only have games I really enjoy on them. I have recenly started collecting GameCube Demo Discs for some reason, and I have about half of those right now.

NES rules and is my primary collection piece!! I have a SNES and about 50 games, I have 99% of the complete Sega Game Gear collection including all of the known accessories, etc and 4 complete systems (Always was my favorite hand held system because of the TV tuner), I also have a PS2 and about 50 complete games. I don't collect PS2 I just love some of the games to play like all the SOCOM games and the early Twisted Metal games.

I am mostly trying to get a complete NES collection at the moment I got over 300 games now with a little over 100 cib. I also collect for N64, Atari 2600, Colecovision, Intellivision, Sega Master and Sega Genesis. I also pick-up what ever accessories I can find for them as well.

well anyone collecting for n64 have extras of games, boxes or manuals give me a pm I have some items to trade

I've been thinking about collecting SNES, but the prices are getting up there. I wish I'd stated that lot system a long time ago! I've thought about collecting GB for a while now, simply because I love that system as well and they're *smaller* than NES and won't take up as much room!

See Ive found that the SNES seems to be cheaper than the NES because there arnt as many games that would go for $30+. other than the competition carts (which im not even interested in) I dont think theres any game that fetches more than $50 loose. but see Im not a complete guy so maybe its tougher and more expensive to find games with the boxes and stuff....

Im going to get you guys into the n64 there are actually quite a few decent games and not a large volume of games. Plus the prices are really good at this point in time. plus its still nintendo

Currently I collect NES and N64, with some slight interest in SNES.

Wrldstrman, I have a quick question - Are there any hard to find "under the rader" n64 boxes or manuals that you can't seem to get your hands on? I can't ever seem to find the manual for Sculptor's Cut, or the box/manual for Stunt Racer, but are there others that are hard to find that I don't know about? Also - I am very happy to say that I own the only CIB copy of ISS 2000 I've ever seen pop up. ISS 2000 is a very rare game, though not necessarily valuable (yet).

I collect pretty much every 8 bit system (including TG16 as it has an 8 bit CPU). My second biggest set after NES is Atari 2600 with 240 games (mostly loose). I'm half way on Atari 7800, 50+ SMS, 40 INTV, and so on down the line, with everything CIB except 2600 games.

...and I don't think N64 will ever garner huge prices in the future, so I don't know why some people are in such a rush to snap them up to be "in before the rush." The N64 was not a phenomenon or "the thing" for an entire generation. I'll never collect for any system that I don't enjoy playing as that's where I think you cross some sort of line (though I don't know what line it is exactly). That's why I don't collect SNES. At first I was doing SNES 50/50 with NES back in 1999 but I quickly realized that almost every damn SNES game is a mindless rehash of a NES game but with better graphics and worse play control and *way* less inspiration. It's like the magic was gone. With NES I never knew what to expect when a new game came out but with SNES it's like "Oh look, it's another zelda and another mario and another castlevania and another..." I think the only SNES upgrade I've ever liked better than the original was Super Metroid and that's it.

Anyway, I don't know how that turned into a rant, but there you have it

yeah there is one that I think is just as rare as ISS 2000 but cant say until I get a copy..stunt racer is rare, someone had a lot of boxes on ebay a few months ago..sosafan won it and it had several stunt racer boxes in it. Sculptors cut is hard to find but a boxed one sold 2 weeks ago for 14.00 dollars. some of the racing games are hard to find complete. I got lucky and got a complete copy of ISS 2000 off a member at DP.

I have a fairly diverse collection...over 20 systems ranging from the VIC-20 to the X-Box. I don't collect for all of them (yet) but I do enjoy playing them. Almost every console is hooked up, save for a few (my TG-16 because I don't have a game I really like yet, VIC-20 for the same reason, INTV because I don't have room, 2600 because I have a 7800 hooked up, etc). Top three are my NES, SNES and Genesis...although the Genesis is for cheap pickups and the SNES is kinda taking a back seat. And Dr. Morbis wants to have his way with my SMS collection

speaking of having your way do you still want those three games I was going to sell you to open up? Up to you, no pressure.

cheers

I admit, I have more of a 2600 collection than NES. I only have around 200 NES games and maybe 300 2600. I barely collect at all for the 64 but keep some games I like, only own about 10 or so good 64 games.
Used to buy SMS games and got to around 50 or so but I just don't like most the games for that system.

Of course man! I don't recall what they were, or what price we agreed to...too lazy to check right now...but yeah, I'll look in my old PMs and let you know when I get my paycheque

I have complete library's of the following systems;

Odyssey 2 -All CIB
Atari 7800 - Need one box and manual to make them all CIB
Sega Master System -All CIB
Sega Genesis -All CIB
Sega 32X -All CIB
Sega CD -All CIB
Sega Pico -All CIB

My goal for this year is to work on the Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. I am also thinking about going after small systems like the Game.com, R-Zone, Channel F and Studio II. Or maybe workon finishing off my Intellivision library.

Sega fanboy

You could also go for the Mattel Microvision (is that what it was called?) handheld..the one that claims to be the first. AFAIK, there's not many games released for it at all, and I see it going with 5 or so games all MIB for 50-100 euro on the German eBay quite often...if the prices are the same in the US then that would be an easy collection to complete I think

I collect only NES (and some Famicom stuff)....I'll occasionally pick up some SNES items but generally end up selling them to get more NES stuff.

I should go through my Saturn games...nothing extraordinarily rare, but there may be something you need that I would part with.

That would be very nice of you.

You know thats not true.

True...you have more complete Sega collections because there's less competition to get the games

Anyway, I have the following Saturn games:

Astal (I want to play it first...may be a keeper)
Battle Monsters
Brain Dead 13 (again, I want to play it and see if I want to keep it)
Congo (another one I need to get around to playing)
Dark Legend
Daytona USA
Myst (probably gonna keep it too)
NHL '97
Shanghai: Triple Threat (no plans to trade it...personal fave)
Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams
Valora Valley Golf (Disc only)
Virtua Fighter Kids
Virtua Fighter Remix


Noted the ones I want to either keep or try out first, but even they would be available for the right price. I'm not too keen on fighters, and I don't really collect CD-based games (just get the good ones to play), so any of the fighting games are available.
