I am an avid video game collector, and i figure since this is a video game site, i cant be alone right? If you have a collection of stellar gaming goodness then feel free to share it! I have been collecting for about 3 years now, and here are some of the highlights of the collection….:

1. i have 15 systems (i think, im not at a place to count them so give or take one or 2) with the highlight being a CIB turbografx 16 and a sega sports dreamcast. my favorites to play are my NES, SNES, dreamscast, and ps2

2. my true love though is Rare CIB games, again, here are the highlights……

NES cibs – i own about 20 CIBS with most valuable ones being Genghis Khan ($35 or so) Mega Man 3 and 6 (both about 30) Bucky ohare (60) the original final fantasy (30) and….what might be the highlight of the whole collection….chip n dales rescue rangers 2. this game sells for over $400 when cib!!! (if you dont believe me, get on ebay, the only complete copy has a 500 price tag on it)

SNES CIBS – i only own about 6 CIB SNES games, witht the two most valueable being Sunset Riders (50) and Super Mario RPG (75ish)

Game boy/Game Boy color CIBS – i own about 15 with the best being Bubble bobble 2 (i dont know the value of a CIB BB2 for the GB, as I have never seen one sold online, however, BB2 for the NES is worth well over $600….i wish i knew what mine was worth, but ill live) Harvest Moon Color (50) and harvest moon color 3 (75-85) and Kirby dream land, pinball, and block ball (20-30 apiece)

Genesis CIBs – i own around 8, with the best being Micheal Jacksons moonwalker (50) Castlevania bloodlines (40) Shadowrun (30) and battletoads vs double dragon (25)

N64 completes – i only own 3 but they are all valuable. Bomberman 2 (70) Killer instinct gold (35) and banjo tooie (40)

ps1 completes -ALL OF MY PS1 GAMES ARE BLACK LABEL!! i have an asston of ps1 games, with the highlights being….i own all of the Final fantasys (7,8,9, chronicles, anthologies, orgins, and tactics, woth 20-40 apiece) parasite eve 1 (30) parasite eve 2 (40) Rhapsody, a musical adventure (its worth 25, and is the worst RPG ive ever played) Star Ocean (25) Mega Man Legends 2 (80) einhander (40) the misadventures of tron bonne (120!) And (in what is my personal favorite item….) A FACTORY SEALED COPY OF SPAWN ARMAGEDDON AUTOGRAPHED BY TODD MCFARLANE!!!!!!!!!!!!(priceless)

i own about 8 dreamcast completes, including bangai-o (40) powerstone (25) and shenume

my ps2 completes – i also own an asston of ps2 games, none of which are greatest hits versions, with the cream of the crop being….Odin sphere (20) Grim Grimoire (25) suikoden 3 & suikoden tactics (20 each), FFX, FFXII, tales of the abyss (30) and the guy game (35)

i also own a bunch of jag completes, an asston of loose NES, SNES, and Genesis carts, bunch of gamecube games, hundreds of atari games, 30+ guides for rpg's from ps1 to present, a handful of shirts, a bunch of video game realted energy drinks and a whole lot more. If anyone wants to see pictures, i can post some to photobucket and provide a hyperlink.

So, what kind of collections do all my APT freinds have?

Nothing topping yours, clearly. I’ve only got 3 SEs ever. They were God of War 3, Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I only have PS3 games because I got into hardcore gaming late 2009 and I trade them in always to get new games. For those even bothered to read my collection of games, here you are: COD World at War and Black Ops, Resident Evil 5, Dead Space, Dead Island, Catherine, Batman Arkham City, Portal 2, Dante’s Inferno, GTA IV, Split/Second, Just Cause 2, Dragon Age Origins, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, MLB 11, Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, Vanquish, Resistance 2, Killzone 3, Fallout New Vegas, Darksiders, Medal of Honor, Alice, Bulletstorm, Battlefield 3, Fight Night Champion, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Homefront, Tekken 6, Sports Champions, Red Dead Redemption, SpiderMan Shattered Dimensions, LittleBigPlanet 2, Kane and Lynch 2, Gran Turismo 5, Deus Ex, Burnout Paradise, and James Bond 007 Blood Stone. I may have missed or retyped a few because I just glanced at the shelf in which they were kept, and um… Yeah.

I was checking out my game collection and found

Hiding from Papa Lazarou apparently…

So fair to say i got a bit of a shock

—

But I have a Snes and a N64… With 30-40 games for each, some boxed and 'as new' Nintendo ruled 'local MP'… before the Internet showed up… That and the Wii

I don't really keep Ps games… Apart from my Asian Demons Souls. I buy SE/CE and keep the stuff, but sell trade the games… I've a couple 'exclusive game sleeves' if you get me?? Like the MGS4 HMV sleeve and the enslaved CE box and the free book… Other bits of tat…

—

I keep my guides though, not that i buy guides for sh!tty games… I have CE Fallout And NV guides, the horrible and grotesque MK9 (CE only because it's so bad, you need to own it to believe it) guide and my as yet, unopened Dark Souls guide… I use them as a companion guide for after I've beaten the main quest… I can see The Dark Souls guide getting opened before i finish the main quest though And I hope the Skyrim guide is a decent one!!

The free T-shirt i got with Dead Island is pretty sweet?? And I've still a guitar from Rock Band

—

Other than 'old-skool' Nintendo I don't really collect or keep my games…

I forgot to ask, do you ever sell any of your stuff or do you just check the prices to keep on top of value?

Well here recently i was forced to sell a few things because ive had a few stretches this year where ive been unemployed. i sold off the few factory sealed games i had, because fu<k them, i couldnt play them anyways since they were factory sealed. I had a factory sealed copy of Castlevania adventures for the original gameboy that sold for 140 bucks. I used to get a quarterly magazine called Video Game Collecter and i kept it on the back of my toilet to look at the price guide in it every time i sh/t. but they stopped putting it out a few years back so ive had to just browse ebay on the weekly, finding cib games for auction, and just putting them in my watch list to see what they sell for.

as far as your ps1 games go….you never know, you could have some real good stuff in there and not know it. remember the TOMBA games? both sell for over 50 dollars now so ya never know…

I had to import a copy of the Skyrim Hardback… Couldn't seem to find a new copy in the UK anywhere

And Amazon(co.uk) has a used paperback edition guide for £39.71+p&p at the cheapest… But there is one for £114+p&p if you fancy… Wtf, that's for the paperback… And there not even new!!

Good job I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon(com) for $36 including shipping… That's just under £24 in real money… I almost had the same problem with my Dark Souls Hardback, although they seem to be available online again, at the proper £15 tag rather than £50+.

—

When the Fallout games came out there were heaps of hardback guides… Even with the MK guide there were a few kicking about, although truth be told it is utter shite…

The Skyrim CE guide does seem thus far, to be pretty collectible rather than just being called a CE… The cheapest new copy on Amazon(com) is now $85…

I'd say the high price reflects demand. Everybody and their granny's cat is playing Skyrim so the guide is probably like gold-dust.

The highest priced guide I had to hunt down was the God of War collection. New copies were going for nearly €100 at one stage. I ended up getting a used one from the states for €20.

@J_ad88

I can't imagine I'm sitting on any real gems as most of them were pretty popular. I didn't ever really pick up any niche games or obscure Jap RPGs.

Without going too far off topic, the real rarities I have are in vinyl. I have quite a few really limited pressings where only 200 or 300 were released. It's all extreme metal but after a few years the prices still rise. Most of them are splatter or picture vinyl as well. They're a shite to store properly though… Cardboard edges on sleeves are not a collector's best friend.
