That truly is a beautiful sight to behold, happy to have seen your set altogether at last! A few pleasant surprises in there for sure, for example I wasn't certain if you wanted Maten Doji but I'm glad you went for it since it's a great game. As expected, there's a huge amount of overlap in terms of our action games, our sets look quite similar... however, the biggest difference is that you favor puzzle games while I favor beat 'em ups, so the main paths we differ will lie there.

Your presentation for this wonderful collection is pretty nice too - mind if I borrow the format for when I take my pics?

Hey, go for it. When can we expect to see your pictures?

[Nightstar699]

I'll aim for today! If not then tomorrow since it's a national holiday here. Say, looking over your pictures there's something I missed initially: Silver Surfer was absent from your NES set. Did you sell that one off?

[Ghegs]

I actually gave it away. A few years ago a friend of mine got burgled and he lost most of his gaming collection, including his NES games. So I decided to give him a few titles I had no real need for. Silver Surfer was one, Vice: Project Doom and Kabuki Quantum Fighter were others (already had Gun-Dec and Jigoku Gokuraku Maru at that point). Might've been one more, but I don't remember what it was.

That was a kind act on your part, Ghegs. Having those gems must have helped him get back into the swing of things. I ended up taking pictures of my stuff after all, and as stated earlier I absolutely ripped off the format from your pics... but, I think that kinda makes it interesting, to see just how similar some of these pictures are to their respective equivalents in your post.

Here we go... I started by company, but then started to sort them by genre instead.

The Konami games:



The Capcom games:



The Nintendo games:



The Hudson games:



The Sunsoft games:



The Jaleco games:



The Sanrio games:



Shmups and shmup-ish games from various developers:



The "non-action games" (Sports, racing, and puzzle games that don't fit into other categories)



The plastic case games (Namco/some Taito stuff)



Various action games, tier 1



Various action games, tier 2



Various action games, tier 3



Various action games, tier 4 (horizontal edition)



Various action games, tier 4 (vertical edition)



And finally, the few NES games I have



Really the only "extra" thing I have is a guide book for Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 1, so I didn't bother to take a pic of that.

I'll snap the loose ones another time

@Nightstar699: Nice, very nice. It's almost surreal seeing a collection that's so similar to my own.

[Nightstar699]

Yeah, I definitely got the same feeling browsing your stuff. In the end I think there was about as much overlap as expected. One I notice you passed on is Spartan X2 - does this game not justify its own price in your mind, or do you still have it in mind as a potential last-get? I know feelings are pretty mixed about this game but I think it's a well-made product, the only issue is just that it lacks a hard mode, or a looping option like the original.

Awesome collections!  IMO Spartan X2 is worth it just for the cut scenes



When I move house I promise I will snap all of mine.  I wouldn't say it's as impressive as these - (the sight of all those CIBs is staggering) but it's a lot of brand new items and hardware that I think would be interesting to see, or at least catalog.  I can't hold on to it forever in any case,space has become a real issue.

Spartan X 2 is one of those I might still grab, if I see it for a decent price. Same thing with New Ghostbusters II, I don't think either are worth the price tag they often go for. The latter especially is just kind of boring.

Moved a few times since registering here, had to redo my setup again.

Here's my very shy collection of famicom games. I got a very cheap package deal from a japanese guy who was moving back to Japan and wanted to get rid of as much as possible. Zelda 1 included the map and everything which was really neat to look at!

[MaxXimus]

Very nice. My first Famicom was one of those but mine was by yobo. Same design though.

If I recall correctly they are made by the same company but neo fami is the japanese equivalent.

[MaxXimus]

Perhaps the systems were put in to production by a few companies? Mine was a Japanese version as well.
