Re: Started building a retro game collection...



Well, at long last. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. A game worth not more than $15 that meant the world to me as a kid. I used to play it with my friend who lived far from me, and we finished it every time. This is the game that sold me the SNES, it's a game I've been hunting for years in the wild. I took my time with this one, but I got it for $10+ship. Not too bad, I guess.

And reading through this thread, I can remember all that excitement. It was a wild ride, guys. :') I don't know what I'll buy next: my original wishlist has been completed with MMPR. I think I' take the time to sit down and finally play all these games, one by one.

I feel, at last, complete.

If so your childhood sucked

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

But it's made by those who made Wild Guns. Same quality music and graphics, for discount price? Hell yeah.

edit, you're probably thinking about the power rangers game on n64

Honestly I wish I had more, but some games are going to be way too expensive. I remember getting Mario Party 4 in 2008ish for $35 used. It was expensive for a 6 (Now 12) year old game. Still one of the best uses of $35 I've ever spent.

Plus this doesn't even count my extensive Xbox 360 collection, or my not as extensive Nintendo Wii collection

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Nice collection either way, man!

Thanks! I do wish I had a SNES, I remember my friend down the street had an old SNES and a Sega Master System. I might post my Xbox 360 and Wii collections, but I don't know if this would be the place for it.

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

That's an impressive collection, MarioNintendo. Actually, quite a few decent collectors are around from skimming through the thread.

My own collection is pretty modest, especially when talking about retro consoles. When I started having regular money to buy games was around 360/PS3 times so most of my big collections are on Steam (346 games) or through those more modern consoles (hundreds).

I have a few dozen (maybe 50?) boxed Amiga games with a working Amiga and its accessories, a Nintendo 64 with about 15 boxed games (I sold my two rarest, Conker's Bad Fur Day & Banjo-Tooie, last year because I was given insane money for them), a PS2 with about a dozen boxed games, and a light-purple Gameboy Color with Pokemon Gold (the only game I ever played on it...)

I slightly regret passing up getting back a Sega Genesis with five games when I saw it in a thrift store a few years ago for £20 but oh well, I probably don't have anywhere to put it.

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Thanks man. My collection is my pride and joy. I think I got lucky many times with deals both on ebay and in game stores. I think I started buying games just at the start of major increases in prices. I could have gotten much better deals had I started one or two years earlier, but considering I'm only 21 years old, and that I received my first credit card 3 years ago to order online, I'm pretty happy with what I have!

Have to admit, though, prices today are simply ridiculous for retro games. I consider my collection complete when it comes to what interested me when I started it. My original wish list is done. Happy. I can finally enjoy these games in peace.

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Welp. Guess that whenever you think you're done collecting, it comes rushing back. Having the original game is not enough. You gotta have the original re-arranged soundtrack. Note to self: never lurk vgmdb again lol (but YOU should).

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Nice music collection. I have the Einhänder and Ni No Kuni music (digital only) but both are awesome.

The only decent video game music I have as a physical CD is Digital Devil Saga (this)

Unless the Black Mages CDs count? I have all three of those.

[MarioNintendo]

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Damn, that is one expensive disk 0_0. Did you get it from when it was released, or something? Backstory would be appreciated, since it seems like a huge piece for music collectors solely based on its price.

Also, of course, the Black Mages count as VGM! I don't know much about them, but I played a few of their songs on Stepmania and remember liking them very much.
