That's quite a nice collection, there! I don't have too many boxes, those places I shop are tough to part with them. I have a POWer pad, however. I've got a CRAPPY digital camera. I'll try and do something similar to what you have posted elsewhere. It'd be nice to see them laid out!

Thanx Roth, i think it's nice too laid out like that,but it's grwoing very fast.Moving very soon and then i'm gonna make new pics.

How many are you up to, now nes-a-holic?

At the moment about 200-210, but that's not all that much,there are people who have much much more!

I've got a lot of carts waiting for me... one guy has 10 carts + a complete game genie, and a computer, I just need to get shipping to him. My girlfriend has found two people with carts that I'll likely be getting either for free or something like $1 a cart, so when these deals all get finished up I should have a much nicer collection.

I know what you mean. I'm just under 200, and I'm like "Dude, I have alot of games!" Then when you see some of these collections on-line it's like "Dude, I have a while to go."

I saw one person's webpage with photos of over 1300 carts. I'll see if I can find a link.

JESUS!!! Were they all NES? If so, wouldn't that give them a whole lot of doubles?

yeah, all NES, I would assume there were many doubles. The site is gone now, when I last saw it he said they were going up on ebay. Except for his top loader, and a few games that he liked.

I have 3 friends that are big collectors, with several hundred carts between them. Sometime it would be fun to inventory what they have.

All my original cartridge games from NES-N64, including Sega systems, were all slowly pawned off by my little brother over the years. I have just started trying to build my collection back up recently, and here's what I have, along with rarity rating:

720º *C*
After Burner *C+*
Anticipation *C-*
Baseball Stars *C+*
Godzilla *C+*
Guardian Legend, The *C+*
Ikari Warriors *C-*
Kung-Fu Heroes (w/ manual) *C*
Low G Man *C+*
Metal Gear *D*
A Nightmare on Elm Street, A *B-*
Ninja Gaiden *E*
Ninja Gaiden II *C-*
Operation Wolf (w/ manual) *D*
Rygar *C*
Skate or Die *D*
Street Fighter 2010 (w/ manual) *B-*
Super Mario Bros./Duckhunt (w/ manual) *F*
Uninvited *B+*
XexYZ *C+*
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Gold cartridge) *D*

Looks like my collection is very average, rarity-wise.

personally I'm more concerned with getting fun games before rare games. I'll grab rares if I have the chance, but I play my carts all the time, so I want coolness, then expensiveness.



I agree with that. However, it is cool to have rare games. Makes you feel a little more special in this world.

I don't feel like naming off all my games, but you can see pictures of my NES collection in the following link:

Game Genie x2

I should have 17-20 but I used to have plenty more I traded most in leaving me with this whopping number but now i regret it alot. I used to have some cool titles including Circus Caper and a cool virtual flying game I dont recall. O well, life goes on

I have a decent collection of 2 NES's (one with a whole mess of stickers on it),150-155 games including Exodus and Spiritual Warfare, a variety of Controllers including the joystick you slip a regular controller into. I own a POWer glove, A Game Geneie with a 50 page manual,and my own personal copy of The Wizard on VHS. I started in 2000, and obtained each peice at yardsales/fleamarkets, the Goodwill/SA, and A Closing Gamestop location.

FINALLY, I have gotten around to typing up a list of the games that I have. Just follow this link:




now was this thing shaped like the normal controller, but modified the D-pad? or are you talking about a joystick like Advantage style?

if it's the former of the two, I had one of those. I can't remember whether it helped or not...

FINALLY, I have gotten around to typing up a list of the games that I have. Just follow this link:



that's a good selection of games, you have all the quality titles in there. if only you had doubles of the quality titles in there... (Rad Racer II, Gauntlet II... the list goes on)

Perhaps I should make a list, too. It will be very short, though.

FINALLY, I have gotten around to typing up a list of the games that I have. Just follow this link:



Nice dude, by any chance any doubles or not?

Sorry guys, I haven't made any 'lot' purchases or anything like that. I just go to the retro store and grab games I don't have. Most games over there cost about $7, if I remember right (haven't been there in about 3 mos.), and the other store sells some of their games as low as $1 (except SMB 1 .25). So I've been able to pick and choose the games that I don't have, which leads to no doubles...

Yes, when you buy them 1 by 1 you shouldn't have any doubles.
I have exactly one double. That's Dragon Quest 3. 1 is complete, the other is cart only. I bought the cart before and then saw the complete one some months later.
Funny is, the complete one was cheaper.

at the moment I have about 10 doubles, but I trade them off for carts I don't have. only thing I don't care for doubles of is SMB/DH

Funny, Duckhunt seems rather rare here in Germany.
It still has high prices in online auctions and stuff.

I'm giving a spare SMB/DH to NES-RULE in Norway

Well, that's mighty kind of you! Anybody have a SMB game by itself that they want to give away? I already have the other two...(SMB/WCTM/DH, SMB/DH)

I have a single one that I'd be willing to part with...

as it's my only one, it would be good to get something else I haven't got in return, but if not I may still decide to go for it.

one thing I have learned is that if you give, you'll recieve

The last game I got was in about 2001 because:
a) the supply of NES Games seemed to dry up
b) I started using emulation.

I first got into emulation to try out some of the 300-400 odd North American games that never made it to Europe. But then I seemed to stop buying NES Games all together. There's only one guy near me who sells NES Games in a market but his stuff is all expensive. The trouble is the NES was never hughly popular in the UK so you're never going to find a box of cheap games at a garage sale or whereever. It seems like the only option for me now is ebay.

Nearly the same problem here in Germany.
The NES was popular, but now nobody is selling at reasonable prices.
I saw NES Games (all very common) in a used game shop, and they all were 5 or 10 Euro. That's just too expensive. (And they only had about 15 carts or so. Too poor.)

here is my collection, links are easier to give than a big list:P
