Collection Milestones

[Slowman]

So I finished this set on Monday but I checked out this thread and saw RetroRage's post and changed my mind about posting mine because I didn't want to be perceived as a "one-upper".  Well, that's not what I'm trying to do.  I completed the NES/SNES part of this about a year ago and then I started on the GB games at that time.  With my recent luck of finding Mega Man V at a local shop, I thought I should finish this up since the hard one just fell into my hands.  I sold a few things and picked up Mega Man III and IV on eBay (at pretty good prices too) recently and this finished the set for me.  ALL of these were local finds or trades with the exception of MM III+IV on GB.

There is another set that I am about to cross the finish line on too, coming soon.

I have just passed the 800+ currently owned mark if digitally downloaded titles and hardware count. If formerly owned/borrowed/rented/arcade titles count, I passed the 1000+ mark several years ago. I can no longer manage my collection in its current form, I need to sell off some of my collection as space is now becoming an issues, not to mention many of the rarer games I own are now digitally available.

It's a dilemma. I prefer physical to digital, but I can't run a library warehouse here.

Lol you just one -uped the s*** out of me.   Nice.  I like how you displayed them the exact same way as me and most of your labels are  nicer too.  If I had a hot girl on my arm she would run right over to you.

Why doesn't anyone show any Mega Man Game Gear love?

[GamerNick]

Mega man gg and mega man PC are two I would like to track down.  Both Retrorage and Slowman very impressive!

These are all I have..took a picture a while back when I finally got my my Mega Man 1 CIB, but I lost that photo so I made a new one..only thing I got recently was the Mega Man X Collection Sealed.

Again you two have a pretty impressive collection on the Nintendo Consoles...Someday I'll get my hands on 7, X3, 4 & 5 GB. 

The only other games not pictured are my Rockman Games.  Didn't want to dig those out since they are buried.

RetroRage, we've both been one upped haha!  I don't collect boxes for carts but I'm not gonna lie, those NES boxes are a set I wouldn't mind having boxed. O_O

[GamerNick]

You guys still have the more expensive ones I need ;-)

[Sauza12]

Just blew past 2700 total games.  Hopefully having a second kid won't derail getting to 2800

Miss you all. Been broke lately but I've managed to pick up a game here and there.

Over 4400 total games now.

Only 56 more NES needed for complete set.

Only 70 more SNES needed.

Getting close!

Yeah no kidding, but those boxes are stupid pricey....


.... don't give me any ideas.  I'm working on other projects too dammit! 

[GamerNick]

Yeah I got my boxes mostly by luck and great deals..same for the manuals I had to get for 1 & 5.

This little find from Half-Price Books completed a US 2D Castlevania set for me today, unless I missed something.  This is the set I was referring to at the top of the page.  The variety of systems these games were released on is amazing, for better or worse.   Special shoutout to Super Castlevania IV, the one that started this insane obsession and Symphony of the Night which reinforced it.

I now have 2100 unique pieces in my overall collection.

[Crabmaster2000]

Gonna have to dig up my Mega Man games to see how I compare. Great pics guys

[RetroRage]

Damn Slowman that's a good 'Vania collection right there.  I had no idea there were so many Game Boy Castlevanias.
