Collecting Video Games

[Jordiway]

Is anyone else here a video game collector? I collect mostly nes and colecovision stuff.

There are a few people out there that are still making atari 2600 and colecovision and nes games.

This one guy named Eduardo makes games for the colecovision and his work is just incredible.

Here is one of his games called pac-man collection. It has 3 games on one cart Pac-man Ms. Pac-man and Pac-man Plus.

Opcode Games (http://www.opcodegames.com/pacman.php)

I have 180 Atari 2600 games and 40 Intellivision II games.

I've accumulated rather than collected ...lol... I still have c-64 games, Amiga games, snes, n-64, original game boy, gamecube and pc games floating about.

I have my original Intellivision along with the original games but haven't hooked it up for years so I don't know if it works. I have stated before on here that I distinctly remember Intellivision football because my brother figured out some glitch in the software where he would run a slant pattern (even though it wasn't designed that way) and there was no defense to stop it....he would gain 3 yards minimum and there was nothing you could do. My dad, who has been deceased for almost 17 years and was a farmer type/workaholic used to love playing Burger Time. I swear he would play that game and can still see him getting upset when the condiments would catch up with him...it was one of the few times I saw him relax and enjoy life.

Hmmmm....

Dunno if I'm a collector, but I am an amasser. I keep my old systems 'cos every once in a while I like to break 'em out and play them.

Wow, how in the heck is that guy making games for coleco vision That is awesome. I still have mine, it still works, havent played it in a while. Still have 2 or 3 atari 2600s and a ton of games for it. Picked up the colecovision at a rummage for 5 or 10 bucks with 10 or so games. Atari's with games i found at rumages and goodwills. Not really a collector just couldnt pass up it up for the prices.

I still have my ColecoVision and Intellivision consoles, in working order.
I still buy games for them too, whenever I find them on Ebay or at collectors' events.

I collect some old games, I have a soft spot for my Atari Jaguar and sometimes pick up games for it still. I also have an Atari 7800, old pong system, and Sega Dreamcast that I have held onto.

I collect but in a different way. I want every coin-op title I can get. Sometimes it's easy with the number of classic compilations put out for last gen systems. But I'll reach further to get everything I can. Q-Bert & Moon Patrol for example are only available on PS 1 discs. Home versions of Popeye stopped with the NES. Mr. Do only came out on the Super NES. The only place you can get a home version of the arcade Donkey Kong is on the N64 title Donkey Kong 64. I want 'em all!

Mr. Do only came out on the Super NES.

Go back even further, and you'll find the ColecoVision had a fairly decent version of Mr. Do.
But I guess the SNES version might be easier to get hold of than the ColecoVision version.

Ohhhh, MR Do. Have that one on my stand-up and it probably gets the most play, ok actually it does!!! Usually 3-10 games a day.

But on the thread itself, kind of an amasser myself, have a ton of consols and games that I finally started listing this week. hard decision but after buying the upright and seeing all of mine just sitting in boxes thought it was time to make some room. just listed a lot of nes and snes games and going thru the other boxes so if your looking check my auctons out (shameless plug!)


Oh yeah, if you have not played it on snes Clayfighter was one of my favorites!!

I had 2600 and Colecovison as a kid. Then I waited till Darkman came out to buy an NES. Then I saved up a couple thousand Kool Aid points from work and got a color Gamboy and have been upgrading it untill the new one DOS *BLEH*. Used to have a Gamecube with the Gameboy TV adaptor, LOVED that adaptor.
Half of my game collection for both Gamecube and Gamboy was classic games.

Still miss Heavy Barrel and a few others but got to play a lot of Smash TV and Toobin!
