I was a bit reluctant to post this, but I saw Syd's epic Wii collection and figured there might be a dedicated topic for this, but screw it, I'll probably be really old so I'll take a shot at a new topic. So, without further ado, my NES collection.





Who would have thought that someone who reads Syd Lexia likes the NES?

This was taken 2 years ago when I literally had to take apart my room and put it together piece by piece to fit everything in. Needless to say, I now sleep on a sofa instead of a bed. I've acquired some nifty new things since then, but I don't know if I ever want to take the effort to do this again until I move.

Optimist With Doubts and Pandajuice:
Well, this was 2 years ago, The stuff IS all on shelves now, but not all put together like that. The games are in alphabetical order, and the accessories and systems are scattered.

These are my 2 shelves with NES games





Sorry about my rooms lighting, it's not very good.

Vaenamoenen:
While it's a new addition since then, the most valuable piece I have is the NES hand's free controller.



As for games, its either my CIB Menace Beach or Unlicensed Tetris.

The-Excel:
I started my collection in my freshman year of high school. I inherited a lot of spending money, and have gone out to garage sales/thrift stores/pawn shops/flea markets every Friday for the past 6 or 7 years.

Doddsino:
I actually have a checklist above my computer with a list of all the games, and everyone I have checked. The picture is actually a little fluffed up as tat included duplicates which I have since sold. I just counted 636 unique games, but this includes a few pirates and a few games with multiple cartridges (ie Grey and Gold Zelda).

It would take me a long time to post all the games I do have, so I'll go the quicker route and use my list to post the ones I don't have:

Which is 131 games I am missing, if my count is correct (This excludes pirates because they are way hard to keep track of.) It should be noted that I am obsessive in collecting (which is why I am listing games in different carts.) and I was raised by the greatest collector. My dad's main collection point was coke products, of which we have rooms full of bottle, cans and merchandise. He didn't only collect coke stuff though, he collected EVERYTHING. SO much everything, that we had a 2 story storage facility built in our back yard which is absolutely FILLED with stuff from the 60s to the late early 2000s. It has cards, figures, dolls, happy meal toys, magazines and historical memorabilia overflowing out of every crack.

As a testiment to the amount of stuff we have in that garage, here are a couple of sealed boxes, and the two toys of the other two boxes, of the Addam's Family Cereal in which Syd partook today.

I collect SNES games too, and I am more like your NES collecting about it in that I primarily only get games I like. I have about 100 SNES games, and I'd say 70-80 of them are games I absolutely love. The other ones are either crappy games I got for free, or games I bought at random.

I have bought stuff online, but a majority have come from years of garage sales, flea markets and places like the Movie Trading Company. Loose games I usually found in the wild, boxed ones are typically what I purchased online. I used to have a stack of NES duplicates that went from my floor to my coaling, but I sold them a few years back. I don't really even know a ballpark number for what it's all worth, just that its always worth more individually rather then sold in total.

Well, that's the thing. I could easily have bought most of those remaining 130 odd games online, but I haven't. Most of the games I bought online where ones I really wanted to play. There's nothing to compare with finding a cardboard box full of NES games at a garage sale, and digging through them excited to find one you don't have, with the added thrill of buying $50 games for 50 cents.

All the games work, but I can't say that for the systems. Most of systems work fundamentally, but definitely need new pin readers to work well. The funny thing is, at one point, my room had as much as 7 TVs in it. I currently have 3.
