I saw this earlier and was like damn you have to wonder how much was spent on all this stuff over the years?
Here are a few pictures:

Best video game I've played, Discs of Tron. Never seen it except in arcades.
I don't really get collections like this. So you have every game? Great. I'll just play all of the good ones on an emulator and get the same experience for free, instead of paying thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars.
Some people have extreme OCDQuote:

Most people who have actual OCD just clean their house for 4 hours a day or lock their doors six times. People who are just nerds with too much money buy shit like this.Quote:

I kind of agree, but emulators are not perfect. There's also something to be said about the experience of having a controller in your hand.Quote:

Nice collection.
Not sure why people cant 'understand' this collection.
Why is this any different to a stamp collection or baseball cards.
Huge market for retro video games, some people who grew up in 80's etc now comfortable with alot of disposable income.
some nes games have sold for 10k+
I have a similar setup except the collection is lego not nintendo.
People prob think I have ocd as I only collect sets complete with instructions and original boxes. Generally pay about double the price for vintage sets if they have box and instructions
also dirty b you probably cant remember but in around 2007 you made a thread on nwp about a star wars lego that was $500 to buy which was pretty ground breaking at the time. That exact lego set sealed in box now sells for about 4 - 5k
Who needs instructions for lego?Quote:

I recently posted a picture of my NES, so I get using the real controller. Objectively, the NES controller is actually terrible. But it's still fun to use sometimes.Quote:

I play most of my old games on the first generation PSP that I won in a Neverwinpoker.com freeroll. But button layout works very well for NES, SNES, and Genesis.
I understand collecting stamps and baseball cards even less. At least with collecting video games you get to play video games.Quote:

$20k for Stadium Events is so stupid. It's literally the exact same game as World Class Track Meet, with a different sticker.

i guess you are either a collector or not. for me it makes perfect senseQuote:

The only thing worth collecting is art; everything else is very much amateur hour and a crappy investment, after taking into account the time value of money.
one could also argue the only thing worth doing in your spare time is jerking off, but would you believe theres anti-social faggot losers that have a problem with that too
Couldn't have profiled a person who collects vintage lego sets with "box and instructions" more succinctly.Quote:

this 'used' collection is still extremely valuable....he will probably clean up imo
pretty impressive
he seems to have all the controllers and consoles and pretty much every game ever made
Asking price 164k. Pretty sure it will sell at that too.

Zelda's Adventure for Phillips CD-i going for $450. Damn. I believe it's the only Zelda game released on a non-Nintendo platform.

I have to admit that the fact that you have them in-between being stacked neatly and being strewn about kind of tilts me

Had them all organized nicely but running out of storage space so when I get new sets just jam them in wherever I can now.
I remember when those PSPs were given away on NWP. I think you got one if you signed up through the Party affiliate link. I don't know, it was before I was even a mod there.
I had a ton of Atari 2600 games, but honestly I have no idea where any of it went. I wonder if my parents threw it out. The original 2600 I had in the late 70s broke, and I got a new one. Actually it was called the Atari VCS originally, and the 2600 name came later. So my first one was techincally an Atari VCS, and the replacement was a 2600. I liked the look of the VCS better (though it was bigger), but I think they changed it because it was a bit dated looking, even by early 80s standards.
I don't think he'll find a buyer and is also asking way too much.Quote:

Collectors like to start their own collections and collect, not simply purchase a complete or near complete collection.

The first game I downloaded was Sonic 3D Blast and it sucked. Still, the games were complete and like 1 mb so you could just download whatever you wanted. I eventually got a gamepad for the pc and it worked awesomely.
Since then, every time I get a new PC, within 1 day I get EVERY nes, snes, genesis, turbo grafx 16 you name it game installed. Then I have like 10,000 games. I never even really play them. I just like having them in case ebola takes out the world. Having all these games makes you realize that 99.99 pct of them are shit. Still, lots of fun to load up some shitty game and just look at it, hear the music and stuff.
I am kinda rambling because you hit a nerd spot in me. I came here to say it's not the same on these new emulators as the old dos ones. \\ I use an xbox 360 controller for my PC and there is a little lag on the controller. If you grew up on Mario games you can def tell the difference. It is so much better to play on the console for this reason. Also, controller shape matters. If I won the powerball I would do the same damn thing.
Side rant: my mom sold our NES and games at a garage sale because 'we never played it anymore'. She was right, but as soon as she told me I KNEW i would want it because it meant so much to me as a kid.
Side rant 2: My big brother is 8 years older than me. When I was like 7 he challenged me to race him up the stairs. If I beat him, he would let me have the nintendo in my room. I fucking snaked him so hard and beat him to the top and he just welched and laughed in my face. I cried.
