New to the board
hey guys, figured i'd introduce myself. I'm a Nintendo fan, but i love all old systems. I recently relocated and sold my collection off to cover some expenses. However i've since picked the hobby back up and am close to reaching 1 year back in the game. My collecting re-booted on March 29th, 2013. I started with nothing and i'll give you a quick run-down of what i've got and where i am now.
March 39th, 2012. The first item i picked up when the habit re-formed. CIB GameBoy Deluxe. found on craigslist and traded for an xbox 360 controller.
April 8th, 2012. Some more things added, this is when i decided to keep going with it. Everything pictured was found at local thrift stores.
June 23rd, 2012. A great garage sale find with the atari, turbografx 16, and 23 2600 games. i've also added plenty of games with all of the NES games found at pawn shops or garage sales. Most of the loose genesis games are sports titles i find here and there. (eventually sold)
October 10th, 2012. you can see a lot has picked up. moved to 2 shelves for organizing needs but neither is quite full.
January 18th, 2013. Here is a recent picture. As you can see a lot happened in those 3 months. i am not out of room on all 3 shelves, and am in the process of having custom shelving built for me. I'm closing in on 1 year collecting and don't plan to stop anytime soon.
quick rundown of my last game count
NES: 264 Loose, 1 CIB(megaman 2 found at thrift store)
SNES: 72 Loose, 20 CIB
N64: 12 Loose
Genesis: 23 CIB
Master System: 13 CIB
Atari 2600: 54 Loose
PS1: 18 Complete(mostly rpg's)
other small collections are all the halo game releases in first run(non greatest hits) and a few collector's items
Every Metal Gear Game released in North America, yes every. 19 total O_O
I also have Game Genie/Sharks for NES, SNES, Gen, PS1, N64, GB, and GBC
thanks for checking it out and i hope to buy, sell or trade with many of you since i'm sitting on roughly 40 doubles right now. Cheers!
