That is a SICK collection Sam. Just spotted Star Tropics! SO GOOD! This is some serious NES enabling. Going to have to break out the old systems when I get home from the office.

Mike, that is not even the tip of my Nintendo collection! All Konomi games were must haves! I will get some Super C pics up for you later on tonight!



I agree! Way too many 8-bit gems to over!

Mike, no rent... I own! There is plenty of space in my home man cave to house these toys, comics, and such... ;-)

Great collection Sam!! I'm a huge nerd when it comes to gaming too - I remember playing Space Invaders before I was able to talk - my dad used to hold me up to hit the fire button on the cabinet whilst he worked the controls.

I feel some photos coming on

I was luckily able to snag a Small. The sleeves look a little long though, I hope the picture is just deceiving!

They are oversized by a size or 2 so you need a size or 2 smaller than your usual size

SEGA SATURN!!!!! One of the most underrated systems in Video Game History! I am not sure if you own Panzer Dragoon saga but as you may be aware is one of the rarest video games produced! SUPER FAMICOM!!!!! I loved the Japanese design of that system!!!! I like your style sir! All NERDS unite!

@ Fremstar, SuperFamicom! you're a true gamer! I visited Japan in the late 90's and picked up a SuperFamicom and loads of games. That system was in every way superior to the Super NES. Final Fight was my all time favorite game.

Panzer Dragoon Saga is a sore one for me. I bought the UK / PAL version brand new for Ł2 when the UK shops were dumping Saturn games. I played it, finished it and sold it on for Ł15 which I was quite happy with. Suffice to say I wish I'd held on to it for a few years

On the plus side I made a small fortune selling off games like Vampire Killer, Contra Hard Corps, Border Down Ltd Edition, Wreking Crew '98, Battlemania 2 and a whole bunch of others that I bought when they were new and sensibly priced before the became OMG rare and valuable Some you win, some you lose.

My favorite part about the FF games was to power up you have to eat a giant turkey leg or a burger off the street!

A lot of great memories of rainy days when my brother and I would be glued to the TV for the one hour we were allowed on weekends to play NES/SNES/PS etc. Strider, Bases Loaded, Earthbound, Star Tropics, the XCom series (on the PC).

Final Fantasy 7, bar none the most addicting game I ever played. In college I skipped a few days of classes to play. Pretty embarrassing.

NBA Jam was also one of my favorites. Pippen!

Hahahahah on the giant Turkey Brian! Very True!

OOooooooohhhhhhhh!!!! He's on FIRE!!!! That game is still a gem that me, my brother, and a few of my buddies who actually made the NBA still play today!!! Boom Shaka Laka!!!! Many sleepless nights with that one!!!! Knicks all DAY!!! Starks, Ewing, Oakley!!!! Sweeeeeeeetttttt!!!!

Nothing embarrasing about taking a few sick days from school to play! One college mate of mine played Ocarina of Time for almost one week straight until he was able to complete the game... He still passed college with flying colors and is a sucessful Lawyer today!

Some crazy game collections! Thanks for sharing Sam.. The first ever game I played was Super Mario 64 and what a game it was! I need to bring the Nintendo 64 to my apartment here in Stockholm

Will do sir My German skills are coming in handy too with one of the magazines

I shouldn't really be on the forum, but the hardest of my exams are done, so I can relax a little. Now I have to think about uni and what I actually want to do with my life
