Dreamcast collection (really need to update these pics - have a fair few more than this now).
Have 4 arcade sticks, 2 wheels, 2 keyboards, 2 mouse controllers - need to take pics of those. I also use a VGA box for a top notch picture.

pt.2

pt.3

pt.4

pt.5 (have 2 copies of F335 - on the hunt for a link cable)

pt.6  light guns with HOTD and a couple other nice games. Also have Typing of the Dead (US version) which is a hoot.

[davyk]

Saturn games this time .... same drill ... incomplete - have to refresh my pictures as I buy more games I have no time to play!!!!

pt.1 (shmups)

pt.2 (some puzzly type games)

pt.3 some odd ones here - the first game with the girl on the cover is a pachislot game. The second one is a video jigsaw puzzle game - not as sleazy as it sounds - actually quite a good game.
Bottom left is a pachinko game. Bottom middle is a shmup construction kit.
The mighty Xmen vs Streetfighter is bottom right - needs the 4MB expansion pack and delivers an amazing load time free experience)

pt.4 (the big RSG - a couple of quid on XBL - but why pay that when you can pay £100 for the original!!!???)

pt.5 (PAL games....)

pt.6

pt.7 (featuring the amazing 10 player , 2 multi-tap Saturn Bomberman!!)

pt.8 US version of Nights and analogue controllers..showing the obvious lineage to the DC controller.

[davyk]

PS1 games:

pt.1 (inc. Castlevania Symphony of the Night - with artwork booklet and soundtrack CD - worth a few quid)


pt.2 (Power Diggerz is well worth a look - lovely game that uses every button on the controller)


pt.3 (two exquisite games here - Vib Ribbon that generates levels from any music CD and Bishi Bashi - which manages to outweird WarioWare!
Puchi Carat comes with a paddle controller and is a fusion of Bust-a-Move and Breakout)


pt.4 (have 2 copies for Ridge Racer 4 for linkup gaming - on the lookout for a 2nd copy of Wipeout 3SE (exclusive to PAL))


pt.5 (inc. disc only copies of Kurushi and Kurusi Final - very hard to find in the wild, never mind CIB)

[davyk]

Megadrive games (don't have many of these)

pt.1
[spoiler][/spoiler]

pt.2 (JPN game - Block Out which is 3D tetris)


pt.3 (JPN version of New Zealand Story. Have since also picked up Micro Machines 1 and Micro machines Military to complete the set)


pt.4 (US version of Space Invaders is nice. Fantasia is an awful game - avoid unless you are going for a complete set!)


pt.5 (4 player adaptor for use with Mega Bomberman, US version of Frogger looks pixel perfect)

[davyk]

PS2 games....same drill not complete - but close. My retro compilation pack photos are missing for some reason (Taito Legends etc.)

pt.1 Sky Odyssey is worth a look if you like Pilotwings - little gem of a game. Kuri Kuri looks interesting but it got a crap PAL port - huge borders which puts me off. I also have the Dreamcast version of Rez but I like having both versions to compare - not much between them really though the DC version works with the VGA box    Can't believe that the 360 Kinect version is as good as it can't detect wrist roll the way Motion Plus and PS Move can. Still - sometimes I just like to sit on my arse and play a golf game so older games are worth having.


pt.4 - racing games (prefer arcade style so GT4 hasn't had much playtime even though it seems to be quite brilliant as I can't be arsed with all the grinding to unlock stuff. Outrun C to C is brilliant)


pt.5 - music games (manual missing from Parappa 2 annoyingly...Amplitude is a spectacular game - and doesn't need fake plastic instruments either!! I have Space Channel on Dreamcast but I like to have sets (Have PS2 and DC Rez too)


pt.6 "brain games" - have a soft spot for these. The Board game collection isn't up to much but has the odd game that interests me.


pt.7 Three crackers here - Mercury is now redundant because I have the brilliant Wii version but this is still a nice game. Mojo is an excellent low budget roll-em-up. Flipnic takes the pinball genre and busts it wide open with impossible tables. It has really lovely presentation polish too - well worth a look.


pt.8 (metal Slugs and Neo Contra) Metal Slug on PS2 is brilliant - especially for PAL gamers. They have 60Hz modes and MS3 has exclusive mini-games that are fun so that one is probably pick of the bunch. Avoid the PAL version of Metal Slug Anthology - it is a lazy 50Hz pile of :pottymouth: with laggy controls - go for these instead.


pt.9 (fighting games) SFA Anthology is really nice - has loads of extra modes to unlock such as Gold editions and such like that I don't really know too much about as I am crap at this type of game. I am no afficiando but I do like my fighters to be 2D for some reason.


pt.10 (shmups - these ones didn't get the best PAL ports - 50Hz. Gradius III+IV and Shikigami 2 are still nice games though - the rest are so-so.)


pt.11 (more shmups - good ports this time - 60Hz and TATE options except for Tengai which is a horizontal shooter) I picked up Raiden3 for a few quid but I have heard this PAL version is pretty rare.
Space Invaders arrived in the arcades 1978-9 - I was 12 (!!!!!!) ;_;  and I still love that old game.


pt.12 (reason I got a PS2 - Gradius V and RType Final - again - good PAL ports - 60Hz mode) Both spectacular games - though quite different.
RType Final has around 100 ships to unlock and once you unlock all the levels the score attack mode is the Gran Turismo of shmups.


pt.13 (puzzle games - all good ones here - Detonator was a nice find - cheap too. The Fruit Machine game is just OK and not really a puzzle game but it's interesting enough.
I have several versions of Tetris , Puyo and Bust-a-Move as they are a weakness of mine but these are fine additions.
The PS2 version of Tetris Worlds is missing the option to switch off infinite rotate time which the GC and OldBox versions do have. That option really was a mistake to include as it breaks the game for many people)

Atari collection....very modest. I have a couple more games than I have pictured here CIB but I got a Harmony cart so I'm being very selective about what CIB games I want - only my absolute favourites.

1.  woody 2600 with controllers.


2. Atari 2600 games CIB (I also have Video Pinball and Video Olympics - need to add pics of those):


3. Atari 7800 console with Asteroids game built in (which is brilliant by the way - best home version I have played)


4. Some 7800 games CIB.I've also got Joust and Tower Toppler CIB. Have the splendid Pacman Collection Homebrew cart too.

[davyk]

N64 collection not quite up to date as I no longer have some of these and I have new ones - must update these:

Box damage on Pilotwings64 which is annoying - I intend to get an NTSC CIB version so not a big deal - will probably sell it at some point.


Gave LodeRunner64 away (!) Rush of blood - I thought the game got an awful PAL port - was pretty ugly even though it's a decent game. No doubt will live to regret that.
Tetrisphere box is poor - thinking of going for an NTSC version CIB to replace it.


BAM3 box very dilapidated - will look to upgrade that (PAL version runs full screen so PAL or NTSC will do me)
Virtual Pool box is pretty tatty too sadly.


Gold cart version of OoT (Aus PAL)
KI Gold box has slight damage - annoying. Will look to upgrade that if I ever get a chance. I hate price stickers.






Sold Rat Attack a while back - I hear this is quiet rare - didn't know that - sold for £9 CIB - think I might have diddled myself now?? Didn't really like the game.  More price sticker damage on Star Wars - ho hum....think that's getting rare now so might be tough to replace - may go for NTSC on a trade-in.


Not all of my games are pictured here - really must get the camera out again.
Have 5 JPN games CIB - Waverace, F-Zero X , Tetris64 and a weird one called Fire Electric Pen which is quite brilliant..

[TL]

Very impressive mate  :16:

[TrekMD]

Wow, quite an impressive collection you have!  Very nice!

[zapiy]

Awesome collection fella..

Really need to take photos of my games.

[HomerRamone2084]

I dont know if I still have any of my old games. I have some ps1 games for sure - probly no boxes for them. Gave up with boxes a long time ago - too much real estate usage.

[davyk]

Thought I'd bump this to include my Wii collection...


Some quality 2D platforming here..SMBWii and Rayman support 4 players.

[davyk]

Mario Games - Sports Mix is so-so but the rest are entertaining. Galaxy is quite brilliant.

[davyk]

Res Evil Games - the 2nd and 3rd ones here are "lightgun" games - well worth a look.
