What do you think is the easiest system to get all the games for? And when I say complete, I mean the basic established set of US games. I was thinking 7800, but it's got a couple of hard to find/expensive games. Lynx seems pretty easy as long as you get most of your games online. What do you guys think?

I've never really wanted to complete a game library for a console, but if I was going to, I'd pick the Virtual Boy, or maybe the 32X.

I'd go with the VB as well.

Depends on if you want them CIB or not.

VB and 32X are pretty easy. Loose Genesis wouldn't be that hard.

Dreamcast is pretty easy. My friend only started collecting Dreamcast like a year or two ago and he's already got half of the US games for it.

And I'm finishing the other half this summer. ;D

Less than 300 games for the US, and most are fairly cheap because people mistakenly think its a second-rate system.  A lot of them are garbage, but its got the best hidden finds that I've seen for a while.  Getting everything complete just requires a little more tenacity.

I'd have to say that n64 doesn't look terribly difficult because it too has just less than 300 titles.  Its got an excellent selection for party games too.  Boxes might be hard to come by though.

I'll believe it when I see all the gaps filled on your shelf and a cross referenced and checked off list of all the US Dreamcast games. :)

Hello, nester.  I didnt know you used these forums

I say 32x.

I think I'd have to go with the 32x or the Virtual Boy likewise.

I would have to say the PS 1.............. Just Kidding.


I believe I would also have to say the 32X.  Maybe even the Odyssey 2..
As both of these really only have one game that is hard to get a hold of.

Don't forget that 32X and Virtual Boy have a few games that are next to impossible to find. Also, it's tough to find them with the box and everything.

odyess 2  doest have many games

O2 has 49 games but Power Lords will cost you. O2, VB, 32X all easy if you want them loose.

You could also try the R-Zone library, or one of the Game Boy competitors from the 90s:  Game Master, GameKing, SuperVision.  I think each of those has no more than 20-50 games in the library (although I'm not sure if they were also released in the US). 

R-Zone and Game.com games are a pain to find on Ebay if that means anything.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned DOS games, or just the PC in general.

Has to be the game.com.  I picked up a game.com and half of the games for it sealed for $40.
If you take your time and find good deals, you could get a complete set for under $100.

Huh? There are 1000's pf PC games.

and good luck finding them all CIB as well  :P

I was waiting to see Game.Com or R-Zone.
Game.com is always on eBay and when R-Zone does go up it is generally a ton of titles at once.

ActionMax is an easy one. I was debating on getting them off eBay but now the titles have seemed to dry up.

OK you caught me, sarcasm and all.  :)

Ohhhhhh OK

uhh.. this one:

Well all I know is that ever since I got my 7800 up and running again those darn Froggo games became impossible to find. It seems like a year or two ago you could get them for under 40 dollars. What is the world coming to?

Well I'm damn near close to having all the Sega Pico U.S games complete. LOL there is only 20 titles. But the kid loves them. Gosh I really need that Sonic one, that seems to be the hardest to find complete.

I've been looking when I go to pawns and thrifts for ya.  Nothing yet that you don't already have.

The North American Neo Geo Pocket Color set doesn't seem to have many rare games in the small handfull that was released, but I suppose finding them complete in their cardboard boxes would be death.

theres also the sega pico, and the tg-cd. both have very few games and are relatively easy to come by.

also i second that on the 32x and vb.

Anyone mentioned the NUON yet?  Sorry for being so lazy and not reading through the thread.  :P

Nope, nobody mentioned it yet.

I sorta second it.  After the cost of the player, the rest isn't too bad.  4 Nuon-enhanced DVDs, 3 sampler/demos, and 8 titles... albeit ones released under strange conditions.  One was recalled, one was korean only, two only came with a certain models of dvd players, and of course VM labs went bankrupt...

My personal favorite in there is The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension.  Its a sci-fi adventure roughly along the lines of Back to the Future featuring the dynamite comedic team of John Lithgow and Christopher Lloyd.

NUON would be easy as heck to do. How about N-Gage? That wouldn't be too hard to get all of them.

N-gage has 10 games that you could only get through www.lets-talk.com. Not tor hard if they still have all of them but you are going to pay 15-25 bucks each for those 10.

N-Gage is a phone?!? I guess I'm not up to date on things. I just looked it up on Ebay thinking that it might be some small game.com type thing. In fact I just recently learned of game.com for that matter.
I was wondering what that meant underneath all of the new users here. Couldn't figure it out.  :P

If you ever want to know what the hell we atre talking about just ask. ;)

32x is fairly easy. i almost have that complete(U.S.). im still trying to find the more common games in good shape. my most expensive game for this was spiderman mint-CIB. i paid $200 just because i wanted it that bad for my collection. yes i am nutz people

VB(U.S.) collection is cake. its just a little pricey

game.com is cake to if you know how/where to look for the games.

200 holy crap I got mine for 100.

i have like 5 games im waiting to come in and the 32x collection is done. i didn't mind spending that kinda cash for the condition its in. plus i didn't know how long i would have to wait to find another copy of it.

Spiderman is one of the last two I need, and the price for it has been skyrocketing lately.  I bid $150 on a copy 2 months ago and thought I was getting it for sure, but it ended up around 200.  I remember when the would regularly go for $80 complete.  :-\

Also, World Series Baseball is impossible to find.  There hasn't been a copy up on Ebay in over a month, and the last one or two were loose.

I bought one of the loose ones for 5 bucks.

I would say the Action Max is definitely the easiest system to complete, followed closely by the Fairchild Channel F.  The selection for nuon games is not extensive, but I still can't my hands on Ballistic no matter how hard I try.

Channel F games are hard to find. Well for me anyways.

There are alot of systems that are "easy" to complete the question really is how much are you willing to pay to complete them.

Virtual Boy
NUON
Action Max(i ended up buying mortal kombat stuff instead of a system with all the games complete a couple months ago it was 50-70$s shipped probably cheaper.)
N-Gage
Lynx
Aladdin
any "eduatainment" system i can think of
etc etc

I would say the aladdin deck enhancer (I know it's part of the nes set) is one of the easiest to find the games for.  I got all of mine in a lot with a sealed and loose enhancer for like $40.

Could someone give me some history/background on game.com.  That is the name of the system?  Im kinda confused.

Yes.
Why they decided to name it that i have no clue...

Apprently it does have some way to get online.
I am not well versed in the system though it is one of the few that i have looked into picking up a complete collection of.

Hey, what about the RCI Halcyon?  Other than the fact that it alone is two large and expensive units, its library is of TWO laserdisc games.  Then again... laserdisc media tend to deteriorate over time, so good luck finding working games.

Im thinking nintendo 64 is pretty easy to complete If you had 500 dollars I think you could have a loose collection in no time.
complete is not to hard either only hard ones are sculptors cut, ISS 2000
super bowling,stunt racer, then there are a few that you can find easy but wont be cheap, worms armaggedon, ogre battle,harvest moon paper mario. Ive almost completed my collection in a few months and buy buying and selling havent spent more than 500.00 dollars.

So I was looking into collecting O^2 (I just picked up a pretty big haul of em, including all 3 Master Strategy games) and for US Releases, Power Lords is the ONLY expensive game right?  Not a huge library either,  how hard can it be?

Power lords can go for 150+ the other expensive ones are 20-45 i believe.

As for the N64 comment.
EEEEWWWWW 500$s for carts that when space efficiently packed/displayed you can't even tell what game is which. No thanks.

It is rumored to have anywhere from 2-5 games. We have 4 in the database.
I have only ever seen the Raiders vs. Chargers game. Disc only. SO i am going to say no. Not so easy ;)

Anthony is correct on the O2 prices. 500 for the N64 for wrldstrman is mostly CIB Anthony.

I gotta get going on my N64 collection. I would love to finish my Atari 7800 & 5200 collection first though.

good to hear from you wiz  thought you got lost

NUON would probably be the easiest in terms of its library, but believe me it will still be hard.

Theres usualy 1 nuon system up on ebay at all times (usual starting bids are high) I was lucky enough to win one for only $50, sometimes they go upwards to $200. The games are also just as rare appearing on ebay, and also have a random end price (tempest 3000 might end at $10 with one bid one month and a couple of months later end at $45)

Iron soldier 3 will definitly be THE hardest game to get for the nuon (I forget exactly but theres a cd only version and a complete version). Not only is the game EXTREMELY RARE on ebay but it will run you no less than $100.

NUON might have a small library but expect it to take alot of patience before you are able to get a complete collection for it.
