  1. I wasn't really a collector until I found a mint condition Sega Genesis system put on the curb for garbage pickup while I was jogging in 2012. It had all the papers, plastic baggies and pieces needed to play. The person had threw away a PS1 system CIB as well. I experienced a huge nostalgic rush.

    I checked online to see if anyone else was playing these old systems anymore. I found a website called Sega-16 that had tons of reviews, articles and a bustling forum. I really liked the Genesis when I was a kid, but I was more a NES and SNES kind of guy.

    I started looking around for a SNES equivalent of Sega-16 and couldn't find one. So I started my own SNES website with reviews, articles and a forum just like Sega-16 had. But it never really took off.

    But during that time I started to catch the collecting bug and now in 2020, I have more than 600 games spanning many systems in my private collection. I spent more money on video games in this time period than I would care to admit.

    I sometimes wonder what if I didn't go jogging that day and never found that Sega Genesis system? How would my life be different right now?

    Probably for starters I would have purchased my own house by now.

This is a great opportunity to get registration cards/inserts for your NES, SNES and Gameboy titles. I will give discounts if more than 1 is purchased at the same time. Here's what I have:

    I have just recently starting collecting again and I’m confused on cib for snes. Anyone can give me pointers?  I’m just trying to figure out what was packaged with certain snes games to make it complete in box. Particularly arcana for snes

    Arcana should have what's pictured, including the dust cap.

    Oh no's...🙁 Why the sudden change?

    The last sealed game I have is encased in acrylic and I'm becoming like that troll in The Lord of the Rings. The more I look at it, the more "precious" it looks to me.

    So I'm only going to open that game when I'm actually ready to play it.

  5. Alright, this is going to be my last one I do on a consistent basis. I thought about doing another one after this, but changed my mind. At least I'll go out with a bang!

    Thank you.

    Somehow I already have a Ninja Gaiden II on my list and it has different contents than yours.

    Box is not the -1 variant, the code is NES-NW-USA.

    Yellow projection television warning is not included.

    Nintendo Power subscription card is PMG-DD-USA instead of PMG-USA.

    Where did you find your info on the Ninja Gaiden II on your list?

    Also, where did you get the info for Mendel Palace on your site?

    It still has that new scent smell after all these years. Smells heavenly and highly nostalgic.
