a3quit4s | 4,328 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) It all started for me on 11/28/15 when I won an auction for Zelda and Zelda loose for $35. It ended today when I received Panic Restaurant in the mail and verified it was authentic. Of course I will never probably own Stadium Events but other than that I have accounted for all the games. The Zelda's I won probably mark the start of when I started collecting and at the beginning I bought everything lol. I started to tone down what I bought a few years ago, sticking to Nintendo carts. I finished the N64 US set late in 2019 and started focusing on NES then. I bought from a mixture of online, game shops, and fine folks on here. It's a relief and kind of sad to be done and I look forward to actually playing these games. As for what next, probably SNES but I can say it will be awhile before a spend a load of money on one game. Thanks to the folks on here I bought from particularly @docile tapeworm who always seemed to have rare games I needed. edit: ordered the Ubi Indiana Jones Edit 2: thanks to a random list by @Mario_Friend1982 I realized I'm missing Wizards and Warriors III. Working on getting a copy Edit 3: ordered W&W III, also missing Miracle Piano after a final audit. Edit 4: Ordered Miracle Piano. Let the waiting game begin for the final three! Edit 5: Wizards & Warriors 3 arrived, waiting on Miracle Piano and Ubi Indy Edit: both Ubi Indy and Miracle Piano finally came. That’s a wrap!

Code Monkey | 2,127 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I don't understand. Do you have every unique game or no? It doesn't sound like you're actually done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend insisted the same thing so 2.5 years ago I had multiple sessions with a psychologist and got a formal diagnosis. I literally told her the reason I was there is because I either have Autism or I'm just an asshole and I couldn't figure out which. Apparently it's the former. You put all that together because I pointed out that your collection is technically incomplete? I mean.......I'm not wrong. And Atypical is my favourite show, it's like looking into a mirror. My girlfriend keeps pointing at Sam and then pointing at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count Stadium Events as a variant with World Class Track Meet and even though the games are different Indiana Jones and the last crusade by Taito and Ubi, I have at least one. It's widely accepted to have to the loose set minus Stadium Events also. Edit: I also don't give a crap about 3 screw vs 5 screw. Unless it's a 5 screw Mega Man.

Although the first bigger money game I can remember buying is the first Mega Man and I thought $60 for an old NES game was crazy. Little did I know! I hadn't even joined NA at that point - I didn't make it there until 2017-2018? It's crazy how much you learn just by being around people who have been doing this since the early 2000s and maybe even earlier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacepup | 2,481 Administrator · Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Congratulations! It's awesome to see people achieving their goals! I knew it'd be a [short] matter of time before someone got on your case about SE, but at the end of the day, what matters is that you set a lofty goal for a particular large set of games, and have now completed it. Kudos to you for that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
