  2. This is insane. Its the exact same game from the cart perspective (even the back says made in UK on both versions). They both play on the us game gear just fine. The only difference is the stinking label at this point

    i did some more digging myself. Question for @Gloveswhen i finish my game gear collection will it be ok to have this pal version?  Ultimately it may bother me enough to buy the other anyhow. Just very annoying that they are pretty much the same game just a diff Label

  3. So i got a copy of pete sampras cart and are there two versions out there?  According to pricewatching its just the one but i see two different labels out in the wild. The one i have is missing the purple game gear part on the side of the label. If there are two versions are they worth the same?  As i said when i check PW for a pal version i only see a price for ntsc

     

    thoughts?

    NFR are generally not considered part of the set for collection purposes with regard at least to the Charms here on VGS. Most places will tell you, I believe, that only those games offered at retail "count" for a set, while anyone who goes beyond that is simply going above and beyond. 

    As far as me checking your games for charm purposes, frankly I personally am rather lazy in this regard - I generally will take you at your word for that the photos you present as being a "complete set" are indeed the whole set. I don't like, magnifying glass to the screen and make sure you have every single title. For specific sets I might go "no way this dude has Super Rare Game X" and double check that, but that's about as far as I go.

    This is very helpful.  So essentially if its a retail game i can count on that making up my US list.  That's easier to go from.

    Thanks again!

  5. Forgive me guys if my searching skills are poor, but I couldn't find this anywhere.  I know that i can see a full list on pricecharting.com but that includes the N64 Test carts and items like that.  What is truly considered the full US N64 list here.  For example is Pokeman Snap [not for resale] considered part of the US list or not?  So, when i get my collection together will @Glovessay "hmmm you are missing Pokeman snap [not for resal] varient"

    Thanks again everyone, I'm a long ways off before this is even done; but would be nice to have an official list if one exists!

    Im hoping the guy i made the deal with (super kind of him) will join our great ranks here in vgs. He is definitely vgs material. Ill be posting up a pic of this in my collection stories i have on another thread under finders keepers

     

    thanks again everyone!

    Everyone @benjam138has decided to join us!  Both @DoctorEncoreand i can testify that working with Ben has been fantastic!  He helped us tremendously find our harder to find items. I look forward to other items he has to sell when he gets them ready!

  7. Hello everyone!  So getting ready to start my searching for game gear games to complete this collection. Im about 20% there so i need quite a few more. Id throw up a list but it would be rather long. So id see what you guys might have. Here are some of the top hitters im still looking for

    1) pete sampras

    2) CJ Elephant 

    3) Tails

    4)  fantastic dizzy

    thanks again!

  8. So, more stories coming but I've been heavily looking for the spiderman box these days thus halted my epic finds stories.  But, since my spiderman box saga has come to an end I thought I'd share the cool story!

    Being obsessed with finding this last piece to make my collection more complete i started combing the interwebs again and landed on another gaming forum that i had registered in the beginning trying to find some of these games.  This time, I decided just to do some more digging on the spiderman 32x subject.  

    What i found was a series of people selling collections and what not years ago.  One particular posting was nearly 6 years ago with a guy selling his entire 32x collection (mostly there; but missing some manuals).  I remember seeing it back in December and just wrote the idea off since it was 6 years ago and more than likely all gone.  But, this time i was like "what the heck, what do i have to lose?"  So i wrote a message to the OP seeing if he had spiderman still and if he would be willing to part with the box (normally this wouldn't ever even be considered but since it was missing the manual and had some battle damage i thought it would be worth an ask).

    A day later he replied!  He said he has the game, but wasn't going to sell it alone.  So, i was like "alone...what does that mean...does he just want me to buy the cart and the box or does he want me to buy the entire collection?"  We exchange some more messages and he was wanting to sell the entire collection and at the time 6 years ago he was asking only $1300 (which is amazing deal if that was today lol)  Needless to say that wasn't the case.  

    Excited and tormented at nights on potentially considering buying the entire lot and systematically selling off what I didn't need (but realizing my wife may murder me for doing that).  I then thought is there another way?  Then it dawned on me, another good friend on this forum was also collecting for 32x and he was looking for bulk.  So i sent him a message as well and to protect him i'll keep his name out of it unless he decides to chime in:)  At first we didn't quite know what this guy wanting for the collection and I think at the time we had caught him off guard as he hadn't kept up with the prices over the years (at least i don't he had at the time).  

    The plan was to see if the bulk buyer here on VGS was ok with me buying the spiderman box while he took the rest of the lot.  Normally this wouldn't fly, but I knew he wanted a better conditioned box so i thought the request might be ok.  We both agreed and decided to ask the seller if he would consider selling the lot to the bulk buyer and sell me the box.  Occasionally id still ask if he would consider just selling us what we needed because even the bulk seller would have to sell off some of the doubles.

    Negotiations went back and forth and I as well as the bulk buyer was getting nervous lol.  Ultimately, the seller granted our request and just sold us what we were looking for!  He didn't have to do that; but I guess saw that we were serious collectors and would treat his treasures well!  If he joins here we will definitely point him out as he has some other goodies he'd like to sell including more from his great collection!

    Pictures below!  Enjoy and more stories coming:)

    PS:  i had changed out the tray with a matching cardboard tray. The box had a bit of water damage but hard to tell from the pics!
