Nice your attic is my spare room and computer room -the squirrels and budwiser box tho.

[Chameleon86]

I have many videos covering and reviewing my collection. Here is my You Tube screen name : Pearljammer07

[Devil N]

How much fun is a games collection when it's all in boxes? That stuff should all be on display!

Also, I was going to ask if you had actually played all of them, but you already answered that question in your first video. :)

Nevertheless, that is one impressive large collection. I hope you have good insurance. ;)

[17daysolderthannes]

god, WHY would you put all that in the attic?

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

YOU SHOULDN'T BUY GAMES YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF PLAYING, REGARDLESS OF CONDITION.

[jerry coeurl]

Why not.

[17daysolderthannes]

Why not.

because other people might want to buy them...to play them!

[squall280]

i don't know if you noticed this...but..i have NO ROOM.....in my room i have wall to wall dvds. and for the reocrd i play at least 95 percent of the games when i get around to them. ill be posting a video of them soon.

[Knuckle Duster]

So I guess I'll be the first to ask the obvious:

"What's your price?"

then rip the stupid DVDs to a Terabyte drive and shove those good for nothing bastards in the attic! Video games can be enjoyed over and over again, DVDs are good for a viewing once every kajillion years and then serve no other purpose. Video games always deserve more respect and shelf space than DVDs.

They can just emulate it if they want to play it so bad, right.

17daysolderthannes your crazy,in a cool way. i could say the same thing for quackshot. i recently played it and beat it. i don't see myself playing it anytime soon. now the crow, a movie i happen to enjoy quite a bit, i'll break out every other month just to take in or say rocky another movie that i could watch over and over. bottom line is both are forms of media which can both be enjoyed. and you better believe that in different circumstances i would have one room dedicated to games and media. that time WILL come just not now.

now as for "what's my price"
tricky question. if there came a point in my life where something came up and i had to "liquidate" my collection i would image i would have a price. also if something happened where i couldn't play games anymore then i would let them go. in the grand view of it all, and this is somethign i have thought about, if i died i don't know if i would like to just hand them off to someone unless it was my kids. i rather have them go where they would be played liek say a children cancer center or something along those lines. much like how some hospitals have put forth libraries in some hospital i would liek to have somethign to that effect where the games would be preserved but also be used. far fetch i know but honestly when i do have kids i wouldn't start them off with a ps4 or a xbox 720. i woul dbring them up with the more simplistic games that i grew up with. to say to a 4 year old here is god of war or say shadow of the colousses when you could say here is sonic or super mario brothers i think is a much better for a child to experienc video games.

[jerry coeurl]

Nice Mischief Makers, dude! I still kick myself for getting rid of that game.

e: Nice squirrel, too.

You have a very impressive collection, it'd be nice though if you did have some more room for everything. I ain't talking smack though, I'm just saying it'd be nice. :p

Here's mine. Needless to say it has grown, I've got a Master System and some more Master System games, and I've got an NES with some NES games (althought it doesn't work, I've disabled the lockout chip I just need a new 72 Pin Connector).

Oops

If you were a movie fan you wouldn't think that way. I too have a huge DVD collection! :)

I still can't wrap my head around the American craze of throwing game boxes away, I know it's been discussed a bajillion times, but it seems to be something unique to the USA.

Unboxed games in the UK, even card boxed NES and Snes carts are few and far between (with the exception of Atari 2600 carts which I've never seen boxed in the wild) where as in the USA people seem to hapilly have massive collections of cart only games.

Maybe it's a compulsion I share with my roast beef eating counterparts but even as a youngster I never threw away the boxes to anything!

[squall280]

when i was younger i would save all the boxes to things i purchased. when i go to yard sales and such i find it just stupid when dvds are being sold without cases. i don't undertsand how someone can make the investment to purchase a movie and then lose its case and somehow scratch the hell out of it.

same goes for video games. you spend 50.00 on a new video game and then you just lose the manual and then eventually the case. thats why collecting sega genesis games are so much easier. i think part of the reason for why people threw them away cause some of the boxes were cardboard. the genesis gave you then nice cases to protect and hold your games and it wasn't until nintendo went to a cd based medium that they went to and actual case as opposed to carboard cases.

[Iron Lizard]

I remember when I saw my first boxless Genesis game. It was very confusing. I think I was 13 or so. Even then I didn't understand. They sold plastic cases for all the other systems and here people were throwing them away.

[snume]

I remember when we got a case that was supposed to hold cassettes and it fit our game cartridges. We thought it was a good idea to keep them together and unboxed for easier access. What did we know. We stored the cases somewhere and eventually, they just disappeared. Sad, but I'm sure that this scenario is what happened to a lot of games. And when you want to go to a friends house with your games, a cassette case was a lot easier to cart around than a big box full of boxed Genesis (or Atari or TI-99/4A ;))games.

This is coming from the same guy who stores his "museum like" mint SNES and NES away and plays on a FC copy console? :confused:
