Galdius

It's been awhile since my last post.

I'm past the 5000 games in the collection now.

I got some more Gamecube, Wii and WiiU games.
I already own Ninja Gaiden on the WiiU but this one is sealed.
Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are both on the same disc.

More GBC, GBA and Switch games:

I was lucky to find 3 Playtronic NES games in the same week and had to buy them.
Also found Space Megaforce for a great price and Megaman 6 with the purple border.

Got some Playtronic CIB SNES games:

More GBA games.
Aladdin, Doom, Ghostbusters, Wolfenstein, Jackie Chan and Simpsons are used. The others are sealed.

Finally found another Tectoy Master System game that I was missing for the fullset.
Now I need 2 CIB games and 1 manual.

@Galdius i passed up, u gonna try to take the top spot?  if so get on it!

Time to make a big push if we can boys!  Let's do this, someone pick something and beat it!  we are over halfway, but we need to start making a big ole' push to complete some of these, yes i know ogre battle is still there

I really should get back to the N64.

I was trying to beat a few games on other consoles during the last couple months.
I'll try to get back to the 64 soon.

It seems like I forgot to post the games that I got in May and this month so here they are:

Kind of. They are the games from the double pack only sold separate. I have long wondered if the double pack is the -1 bug fix variants or normal buggy games. I have only seen the double pack sealed and box only so far. I need to get a sealed one so I can open it and see. I have a feeling it is the bug fixed releases that they put out very late and in very small quantity. Just a guess though.

Is there a way to know if it's the -1 variant looking at just the Dexter box?

Got a few more games.

I got lucky and found the left bros SMB 3 for US$55 here in Brazil.

MGS 3 is sealed and got lucky with IHRA Sportsman Edition ($40).

Pink was the color of the day today!

Got Barbie for peanuts.

Awesome find for Barbie!
Congrats!

Got some cheap Xbone and PS4 games.
Also found 2 Mega Drive games that I was missing. Mario Andretti is definitely uncommon and this one came with the manual in great shape.
Got a nice discount on this Playtronic Star Fox and added it to the collection.

Got this Mario Odyssey cappy signed by Reggie, Charles Martinet and Kenta Motokura (the game director).

@Galdius Your SFC image both makes me happy and equally sad.  I used to have a collection largely that size or so, all CIB too, quite a few in that image I did cherish so and I miss them.  I'd love to have them again but the prices on SFC stuff got stupid back when SNES stuff started to get a raging boner in 2012-2013 because they caught on to western shenanigans.   I see a few nice Famicom things too.

Do you actually use all these, collect, or trade, sell the stuff as you get a LOT in.

I collect. Sometimes I sell 1 or 2 games at the local retro game store.
If I buy a game to upgrade a copy that I already own, I usually take the old copy to sell at the store.
I sell it for less than it goes for but it's easier and this has helped me with the owner.
If something that I want comes in he usually texts me and gives me a better price on it.

yeah.  after closer inspection, it looks like what he picked up as no duds in it. i'm sure it cost an arm and leg for it all.  

The guy had more than 4000 games. During one week he sent me more than 300 photos of the games. I was in awe. I wanted to buy everything lol Those were the ones that I knew I had to get.

nice!  if you are looking for a challenge, undead line is definitely one of the hardest sega/mega drive shmups.  i put in a decent effort several years ago and could only 1cc it on the easy setting.  default settings tore me up.  

I love shmups but I’m not very good at them. I would never try to 1cc but I will play Undead Line.

Managed to get a nice lot from a local collector that decided to sell his entire collection.

Japanese Mega Drive games:

PC Engine games:

PS1, PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 games:
  

A sealed 3DS and the KOF GBA:

Gamecube games:

NES, Famicom, Mega Drive, N64 and GBA games.
The GBA games are sealed.

CIB SNES games:

Amazing work. Would love to see a thread on your journey and highlighting some of your favourites, plus some eye candy haha.

Thanks! It's been a fun journey. I started in May 2020 and managed to get some lots for great prices at the beginning.

I’m at the Elite Four already. Hopefully it won’t be very hard to finish it.

Just beat the Elite Four but looks like I need to beat the Cups as well.

I'm glad someone else is gonna go for it.  I started it and got frustrated and haven't returned. I was using rented pokemon though. I'll gladly move to a different game lol.

I’m at the Elite Four already. Hopefully it won’t be very hard to finish it.

I finally captured Arceus on Pokemon Legends and now I can go back to Pokemon Stadium.

Can't wait to beat it.

I bought those 15 games during November and December but only now that I'd them shipped to Brazil.
I'm 1 game away from the fullset.

And the 3DS collection right now:

I'm still playing Legends Arceus on the Switch but I managed to get to the Elite Four on Pokemon Stadium.
