Title: How close are you to a complete collection?
Post by: Arrrhalomynn on June 08, 2004, 06:38:27 AM
I got Street Fighter Alpha in the mail a few days back, which means I'll only need 16 more games to complete my saturn collection.  That shouldn't take too long. Second most complete collection is the dreamcast. I need about a 100 more for that. A lot of games, but I'm already over half.

Is anybody here close to a complete collection, or any other cool game collecting goal?

the 2 I'm closest to completing are not impressive at all. the Pico and Game.com. they both suck and the libraries are small.

On a more impressive scale I'm within 100 for a complete Dreamcast collection and I need less than 40 to complete the Intellivision library.

I'm only a few away from a complete collection of Odyssey 2 and R-Zone.  Both of these have really small libraries, though.  I've probably got less than 50 for a complete set of Dreamcast games, but right now money is tight, so that will have to wait.  And of course, there are the systems like IneractiveVision that any collector can claim he/she has "less than ten to go" for a complete set.

I need 5 more games for a complete 32x collection, but I keep getting outbid by the same 5 people everytime they come up on E-bay.  Other than that the system I am closest to completing is my master system collection (I need about 70 more).

Well, at least those five people will soon have all of the ones you need and stop outbidding you, right?

That's what I keep hoping, but it never works like that.  Damn you Ascorbic.  Damn you and your deep pockets.

I'm pretty close to a complete game.com, about 150 away from complete Tiger LCD, and about 200 away from a complete NES.

I'm about a year away from having enough cash to have a collection of videogames beyond the gracious count of "good ones" on the systems I own.

Someday though, I will look at those shelves and say (I really will say this too) "look upon my wallet and dispair!"  as the shelves fill up with awesome games that I don't have the cash to own right now.

Id say I am around 245+ away from my NES goal. It's a long road ahead yet, but its fun collecting for it.

I'm not too far behind Andrew with my NES stuff. I don't have an exact number but app 300 (give or take 10-15 games) shy. This time I actually counted...lol Before I thought it was about 200 cause the boxes on my floor looked like they contained a lot more games than they did. Damn do them NES carts take up space...hehe

 i dont collect for any set system i get what i can put my hands on but i definately reach for the stuff that is different in some way, limited recalled alternate versions etc. The system i want to finish collecting for my DC but i dont see that happening soon. I also dont go out of my way to get anything imported. Come to think of it i own nothing imported.

I have a complete 32X collection. All of the games are CIB. I need 2 more O2 games for that library. I need 2 boxes and 2 manuals so all the O2 games will be CIB. I need 7 more SMS games to have that library all CIB.

The next two close collections are Genesis which I need about 145 more and the Intellivision I am about half way there for taht system.

No I only collect US released games but maybe one day I will pick those up. You have any of them for sale?

Nope, I used to have a complete European collection, but sold them all, apart from the two virtua games.


Title: Re: How close are you to a complete collection?

That's a damn impressive collection you got there Tynstar.  Do you have any pictures of your collection up anywhere?

This was a pick of my Genesis games a few months ago. Most of my collection is in boxes. My new house will be done at the end of the month. I will take some pics of my game room when I am done putting it together.

When I took that pic I was thinking the same thing. I was worried they where going to fall. Genesis games make up about 35% of my collection. Soo I will take pics of all my games.

R-Zone has a 28 games library for anyone who didn't know. That means i have one R-Zone game. Did anyone notice that? Or did you know and just not want to give in to my idiocy?
Just wondering are those games in alphebetical order?


Title: Re: How close are you to a complete collection?
Post by: Tynstar on November 04, 2004, 12:54:44 PM
I figured 27 was the entire R Zone library.

And in the picture no they are not in alpha order. But when my games, movies and CD's are on the shelves they are in alpha order.

I guess the two systems I have with small catalogs are the Channel F and the TI99-4/A. All my other systems are a long way from having complete collections to go with them.

I need 1 NTSC Atari 7800 to have a complete set for that system. I hav ethe PAL release for the game I need.

Same deal for the SMS as the 7800. Need one NTSC game.

I am down to needing about 60 Genesis games and abut 60 Sega CD games to be done with thise library's.

Have a fiinished 02 library now.

Mark how is your Saturn collection going?

Post by: Arrrhalomynn on August 09, 2005, 11:54:49 AM
I need 7 more, I got myself Keio 2 Flying squadron some weeks ago. I haven't had much money lately though, and I prefer to spend it on things I think I need more than Saturn games. I'm planning to get the last 7 once I find some sort of job.

These are the ones I still need:
Burning Rangers
Courier Crisis
Dark Savior
Dragonball z - Legends
Mortal Kombat trilogy
Pinball Graffiti
Street Fighter collection


Title: Re: How close are you to a complete collection?
Post by: Tynstar on August 09, 2005, 11:55:27 AM
Are those games expensive?


Title: Re: How close are you to a complete collection?
Post by: Arrrhalomynn on August 09, 2005, 12:08:06 PM
The ebay.co.uk prices for these are (as taken from the completed items listing):

Burning Rangers - Between 19 and 26 pounds

Courier Crisis - 9,60 pounds, but only one found.

Dark Savior - Between 10.50 and 17.90, But I already have the manual for this one, so I'm waiting for a cheap incomplete one.

Dragonball z - Legends - Only 1 sold for 29.99

Mortal Kombat trilogy - 1 sold for 26,55 pounds

Pinball Graffiti - No listing

Street Fighter collection - 1 sold for 26.44 pounds

So some of them are rather pricy, including shipping 4 of these are around 50 euros. That's a bit too much for my liking for games I'll only put on a shelf.
