r/gamecollecting

I won this console in a sweepstakes back in 2013, it's signed by the development team and came with a matching black pearl controller. I've wondered for a while if there are others like it or if it's unique.

It came with a 250gb hard drive and it ended up being my "daily driver" console for about a year until I got an Xbox One.

It's pretty well taken care of but I can see one of the signatures on the right panel has faded a bit. I have no real intention of selling it but I'm also curious if it's worth much of anything.

Many years of collecting, and trying to reclaim things I traded in back in the day!

Found out that NES cartridges fit perfectly inside them! Anyone else have any "unorthodox" means of storing your NES cartridges? If you do, I'd love to see what you use! Currently using a Cherry Dr. Pepper and a Vanilla Coke box, and as I continue to get more NES games, I plan on attempting to find empty 12 pack soda can boxes for storage. Also, if anyone has a recommendation I can use for a lid for these boxes, I'm happy to accept those!

custom covers I designed myself

Is there anything you would want in here?

both sealed tf, got them both for 60

So got a new shelf for my manga volumes but they didn't fit, was a miscalculated move by me.

Decided to see if it would make for a better gaming shelf and honestly I like the result. Had to also move the majority of my DVD movies there to fill the empty rows.

Nothing is in order, I just randomly put all boxes on the shelves to see how it'd look. I'll rearrange them by console and alphabetically properly.

I have had a great time with numerous titles from the Kunio-kun and Double Dragon series (DDII being my favorite in that series), but Super Dodgeball will always be my favorite overall. I still remember when I first learned about the Kunio-kun series and how it all finally made sense why a lot of NES games I played as a kid haf the same sprites 😅

I've been hunting for a colecovision for my mom for a couple of months now in my local area, and nothing has come up other than a set of untested controllers... until yesterday! Someone on marketplace was selling this entire lot for 200, and I jumped on it immediately. It even comes with the original adapter (which will... need a little electrical tape unless I want something to catch fire) and basically everything except the boxes! All of the games have their manuals minus moonsweeper, and the super action controllers and console itself have their manuals as well. The thing that's had me giggling to myself tonight though is the "software and accessories" catalog that came with the manuals. I can't explain it, reading through it brings me a weird sense of joy. I blame my very specific brand of autism.

The current plan is to hook it up to the CRT I've borrowed from an aunt and invite my younger cousins over to be exposed (read: forced to play) this, as well as the Genesis, Gamecube, and Wii I've picked up. My mom called it a "retro night"- we're combining her childhood consoles and my childhood console (Wii) and having the kids experience How Things Used To Be™.

It's a good thing this came with manuals. I'm probably going to need them. Wish me luck!

All the 3ds and ds games are authentic and cib. I bought some reproduction cases for my Pokémon gameboy games so I can sit them on the shelf. Very happy with my collection!

Found some goodies at a Goodwill on Saturday. Resident Evil was $4.99 and rest was $2.99. $26 for everything.
