Im new here and my name is James

Hi, my name is james and I am new here. I just started to officially collect NES games since August 1st. I really want to get some rare titles, but don't know where to begin. I am only 14 and want to get some of the rarest games out of the way before I have to start paying bills, lol. So I was wondering if you could give me some tips and if you or or someone you is willing to trade rare games you could tell me. Thanks for reading this and I love this site and hope to become an avid member!

P.S. I found out about this site from Penguin on YouTube!

  • Thanks for coming! Penguin's got some great videos, always good stuff.



    Best place to start is our huge database. Here's a "canned" list for you with the rarest games first, but you can use Advanced Search to customize it and choose any kind of display you want. You can even see games from overseas, only official Nintendo releases, etc.

  • I'm stuck on which I should collect for: Cart or Boxed? By the way thanks for the help Dan!
  • Penguin? Did he break up with Deniz or something?



    Welcome to the site dude! Boxed or cart is kind of a deeply personal choice. I like both! Have fun here and watch out for NGD. He's a weirdo.
  • Cart only is a good start as its the easiest way to finds titles . ( flea markets , garage sales ) . Boxed are kinda rare. I'm going personally on cart only and pick up boxed when i find them . I got 500 titles right now and about 100 boxed . If you are very patient and got a lot of money go for boxed , else go for carts. Good luck

  • Welcome

    get what you like. IF all you do is go after the rares first, you will slowly realize that you aren't playing those game and they are a waste of money.i would mix and match if I was you. I think it is the best way to collect. Oh and collect loose. If after a while you still like collecting, you can upgrade your collection to CIB.



    But what do I know? Don't know much about NES. image

    Welcome! Watch out for MRN, he's a rapist.
  • Thanks for the comments everyone! image
  • In your situation I would go cart only. If you are looking for rare games that are fun to play get Snow Brothers or Panic Restaurant image
  • Yeah thats what I am thinking, but also when i get a job and I want them boxed I will have to rebuy them. That's why I can't decide. I am just going to pick up Bundles of carts and when i buy them one at a time get them boxed. But anyways thanks for the comment! image

    What?  That's not what your sister said.

  • Welcome!! Dont let these basement dwellers scare ya off. As long as you stay out of the tub you will be ok image

    As for cart vs CIB if you want to upgrade later you don't necessarly have to buy the game over. There are lots of guys (and a chick or 2) that collect cart only and save their boxes for trade bait or to sell here.

    I don't tell others what to do because Im still a cherry to this too. But if you wanted to go the less expensive route and start out cart only and upgrade later it shouldn't be too hard for you to snag the boxes and manuals. Above all ENJOY what you do!!
