If anything it GREW Sometimes I kinda of forget about my collection because I'm not buying stuff like I used to. But then it hits me and I'm all like "I love this shit" and go oogle my game room downstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddux4163 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Fuck YOU! Technically it’s retro. But I hate feeling old. To recap. In 2003, 20 years prior was Atari 7800.

Honestly, it's one of my smaller collections, because there's not just a ton I still care about on it these days. Mostly Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, some RPGs, husband has some sh'umps. We've got 35 PS2 games left on the shelf and I can't think of much else I'd care to add. 2 minutes ago, maddux4163 said: Fuck YOU! Technically it’s retro. But I hate feeling old. To recap.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Also, @maddux4163 you sparked me to buy my first retro piece in months. I grabbed a complete copy of Advance Wars 2 on GBA before I went to bed. Those two are about the last GBA games I wanted and they aren’t crazy expensive to get complete. My GBA set is all CIB so I must keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own an actual capcom jpn cabinet but it's in need of major restoration (I've had it for nearly 20 years), so it sits in my storage locker atm. So this is a smaller one I'm building to play my boards in my condo.

I'm not as knowledgeable on the tech aspects as, say @chakoo , but I probably have the most extensive collection here. Yeah your collection dwarfs mine. I do try to collect breadth over depth so I can generally have access to a bunch of different systems even if my game collection per system is a bit light (exceptions for my 3ds & vita game collections).

Yeah, I'm more for quality over quantity. We've got 1200+ physical games, but they're also spread across 34 platforms. Only 2 of those, we have over 100 games for(NES and SNES). Close to that on a few others. I remember when NintendoAge existed, I was astounded by all the people going for full sets. Like, I'm not paying money for shit games, just so I can brag about having a full set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it's just meant to be a bartop to play any jamma/JVS boards. I was even at one time looking to fit my namco system 256 inside so it could play Tekken 5/SC2/Gundam games. Atm I mostly use it to play some early 3D fighters like Tekken, Soul Edge (Just recently got tekken 3). I don't quite have the space for too many PCBs so I won't have many old 2d boards for it. The MVS was a more recent addition at the start of this year after picking up a Sam Sho 1 MVS cart (which is silly since I have the AES cart & Neo CD for it). I only have 3 MVS carts atm (Metal Slug, Sam Sho & Baseball Stars Prof). 11 minutes ago, CastlevaniaNut18 said: Yeah, I'm more for quality over quantity.

Yeah not a big fan of full sets. For portables I tend to buy up a lot of games since that is where I game the most but will eventually thin out the collection at the end of a systems life. I just haven't brought myself to do that to my Vita & 3DS collections yet since I'm still going through my backlog for them. My console collections are mostly sub 30 for each system. Just I then have a lot of systems (nes/fami/snes/n64/gcn/wii/wiiu/switch/xb/ps1/ps2/ps3/ps4/psp/vita/ds/gb/gbc/gg/wonderswan/ique/NG/NGCD/PC-E/gen/sat/ms and few others).
