Oh dang you were in deep. I never played Red Alert but I remember box pics looked soo good at the time!

Red Alert 2 was perfect IMO

Oh yea I'm a mouse and key board guy.  When I got my first PC in 95 I went so crazy with RTS games!  Warcraft II, Dune, Starcraft, Command and Conquer and a bunch of smaller games.  I still have a soft spot for that genre.

I never went outside of Command & Conquer and Red Alert, but I have easily spent more time playing those than any other series. I remember drawing base layouts during class in elementary school and spending ALOT of nights skirmishing on Red Alert 2: Yuris Revenge throughout high school.

Road Rash down. Such a good game!

How was it on 64?  I was a huge fan on PC many years ago.  Played all through Tiberian sun and expansion.

It is a great port. I'm pretty sure the missions are different than the PC, but it's been over 20 years since I played the PC version so can't really remember. The only things I can say negative about this one is there is slowdown when several things are going on at once and you can only have 4 squads instead of 9 on PC.

Brunswick Pro Bowling finished

I'm playing Brunswick Pro Bowling now. I would also like to soft claim Road Rash

Command & Conquer

They are pretty good, I forget if I beat them last year or the year before, but they were actually entertaining. As long as you can actually find the fish. I wanna say it was bass masters that occasionally you just won’t find any fish in a lake. Your up against a clock too which definitely puts some pressure on. 

I would suggest using the Fishing Rod controller too if you can get one.

I've never tried before but looks fun. I should've pulled the trigger years ago, but the price tag is so stiff. Have you used the mad catz or the other Japanese one?

looks like they are yours to beat this year then

Haha, I would like that. I forgot how many games I think are fantastic having not played the N64 for the last two years.

I don’t blame you. I tried Bassmasters. I caught every fish but bass and I played it for a few hours. 

What!? I think the 2 fishing games are fantastic!

I may, however, have a bias to fishing games. I thoroughly love Blue Marlin NES, BASS Master Classic SNES, and Fisherman's Bait on PS1.

Ready 2 Rumble 2 done

scooby doo too if u wish because @KokiriChild is on to pokemon stadium 2 i think

scooby won't take too long, but anyway, welcome back

Salute to @KokiriChild for doing pokemon stadium 2! Thanks for the heads up on that. If he doesn't tackle Scooby Doo in the upcoming weeks, I would love to go back through it with the kids.

I finally got my gameroom back @Jeevan. After skimming through the claimed list...Unless somebody is already working on them, I will gladly start with Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 and soft claim Command & Conquer.

6 down!  let's get to maybe 20 today????  @ZeldaFan042 @Nugfish this is the year boys!!!!

My game room is currently a construction zone so everything is in storage, but I will be in this year (hopefully by march). I have already bought some kitsch-bent thumbstick repair kits in preparation. I would love to beat scooby-doo and both fishing games.

I couldn't resist - I ordered  the deluxe fortress reprint edition with a few extras:

I missed this one...I backed maybe 10 board games on Kickstarter last year, but always forget about Gamefound. Looks cool...worker placement is one of my favorite mechanics...

Bumping this thread. Still looking to trade!

Stickered as all get out. GameStop, rental, Best Buy, etc. Did anybody buy these brand new retail and keep them?

Guilty. I ended up trading everything I had in those days.

Anyone else have an issue finding og xbox games in decent condition.  It seems like every xbox game I find is grimy or sun faded as hell.  If I stumble on a used game store that actually has a good selection in decent shape, I just pay the premium at this point.

I've had a good run recently, but yes ALOT of poor condition case/covers. Gamestop stickers have been the cause of ruin for quite a few as well...

Just got this in the mail. No idea what I'm going to do with it, but thought it was cool.

*Edit - it is a case of 100 sealed BK xbox games*

When it comes to the Xbox Exhibition discs, does anyone here know why Volumes 6 and 7 are so much tougher to find than all the other five? It took me quite a while to acquire copies, and I only got 7 by a large bundle that had multiple sealed copies, which I do still have if anyone wants to trade.

Also, does anyone here know the reason why the NTSC US version of F1 2013 for the 360 is so tough to find? It was by far the toughest regular retail release for me to find. 

Weren't the exhibition discs pack-ins with consoles? If so, that could explain the rarity. Console sales at the end of its life span are minimal.

Ok, here are all the complete duplicates I could find. I also have some loose discs as well, like Gunvalkyrie and The Warriors, though I doubt many people are into loose discs.

Looking to trade for any complete xbox games that I don't yet own. 

My collection is here: https://collection.gamevaluenow.com/share/collection?id=1141

I think I have 50-60 for trade. They are in the back of my storage room, but hoping I can unbury them next week.

I did variants for NES (still missing a couple) and I decided I'm never doing it for another console again. It's way more work than fun.

Yes, many days spent constantly checking Ebay saved searches. There are a ton for XBOX...Parellel Lines limited Edition was supposed to be kind of common, but still haven't seen one on the market. 

I reached 350-400 putting alot of my effort in harder to find variants and that is what broke me on my first go around. No more variant hunting from here on out.

Currently renovating so all my games are boxed up right now...these pictures are making me anxious to finish up and break out the shelving
