Penguin's Subset Completion Thread

So a little over two years ago I set out on an epic quest, the quest for the unholy of unholy's.

To get a CIB set of all the Color Dreams/Bunch Games/Wisdom Tree games.  It's been a long and

lengthy journey, but I am finally there!  I still have a few variants I want to pick up (most of the black carts)

but as some of you may or may not know, the black cart variants (MicroGenius) are few and far between so I am in no rush there!  Want to give thanks to all the people that have helped me out on the way, UncleTusk, NationalGameDepot, Burdger, Limbofunk, Bella, GammaRay (sorry if I forgot your name!)  I now have one of every game CIB, including the 4 Wisdom Tree games for Genesis, variants for Pot O Gold contest, and a couple of the black cartridges.  I haven't decided if I want to get the Gameboy Wisdom Tree games, I think I'm going to stay away from those knowing how expensive some of them are *cough* NIV Bible *cough*  For your viewing pleasure some pictures of all the goodies.

  • That looks awesome man!! the hard works pays off!
  • Killer man. Some of those games suck balls, but they hold a special place in my heart, because they have a homebrew feel to them. You have an awesome collection there
  • I think a lil Tina Turner is in order here Justin

    :-P

    American Video Entertainment, I'm actually pretty close, only need like 2 or 3 more.  I'm doing unlicensed right now in sub sets, it's actually quite fun.

  • Very nice! Those looks amazing all together like that!
  • congrats on the collection, I have a lot of respect for the older guys who take their time with their collections
  • ^ well i have no respect for justin.

    Moon Ranger box took the longest I would say, I was lucky thou I got the box in a lot of empty boxes that was poorly listed, and Tusky hooked me up with the cart and manual a while back. Secret Scout and Menace Beach were probably the two other ones that were hardest, but I can actually say I think the Menace Beach manual was the hardest of all to find, was over a year before I found a CIB one that was listed. I still need one more Menace Beach manual for my extra boxed copy, but I haven't seen a loose one for sale in ages.
  • i bought my CIB menace beach , Master Chu, Krazy Kreatures, RoboWarriors, and one other i can't remember from a former rental store for $5 each, and it was way back before i knew what those were valued at. all the manuals had been photo copied so the manuals were untouched as well, and the odd part was those were the only titles left for sale like they weren't licensed so no one wanted them, LOL
  • Woohoo! It's a sign you need to go and become a priest. Enjoy!
  • Alright now we need to get you a damn Complete in Box Color Dreams award 
  • Alright, so I figured since I'm collecting in subsets now, I thought it would be a good idea to have a  general thread I can update when I finish something, and work on the next set.  With the addition of Romance 1 this past week, I completed my KOEI NES Set, including my beautiful factory sealed Gemfire!  All of them have the maps except Romance 1, still need to track that one down.   I'm a fan of Uncharted Waters, which got me into finding all the other games.  Most of these games get a bad rap, due to the intensity and complexity of the games, almost all of these have a huge manual that is IMPERATIVE that you read if you want to properly play the game.  I think it is pretty awesome that they were able to produce games with this complexity and depth on the NES.  Pic below for your viewing pleasure.  Next on the list is my American Video Entertainment CIB set, which I am very close to finishing, just need Trolls on Treasure Island.  Hopefully I can pick up the last one I need at MAGfest next week!

  • hey justin, all i need for trolls is a box if you find an extra ... i'd be glad to pitch for half and give you the cart and manual
