Attempting To have a complete videogame collection?

[FFXIK]

Some people just really, really enjoy the thrill of the hunt I suppose. The collecting aspect can be intoxicating sometimes.

I suppose, I mean everyone has their own way of doing things.     I'll agree it can be intoxicating.

i collect a lot more than I play at this point.

i try to play all the games i buy. iv bought games in huge lots before and its a great way to get some rare titles without paying a premium, but lately iv slowed down and only buy games that i most desire. when i finally get a game its nice to spend some quality time with it for a while and really try to beat it before i move on and buy another.

I only have 94 playstation one games so far but I'm going to keep it up.  There is a flee market around my way that has a classic game store in it.  They have great deals and I think that will be my best bet for now.  I think I'm going to try to complete my Intellivision game collection as well.   

Trying to break the goal into small semi-doable goals.


I've been thinking about moving all of my PS1,Dreamcast and 3DO into DVD cases of different colors for each system of course. 

Do DVD cases last longer than jewel cases?  I just think that my collection would look more uniformed if they were all in the same cases and Im not a fan of the poly cases.

Consider Poly, it's the wave of the future!

I don't know if they "last longer", but jewel cases are easier to crack.

They definitely crack much easier.  I have no where near 91 PS1 games (8 I think off the top of my head), but I converted them to DVD cases.  Unfortunately it's harder to find cases that fit 3 or 4 disc games, so right now I'm just squeezing them into 2 disc cases.  They look great on my shelf though!

Multi-DVD cases are pretty easy to track down if you live in the US; multiple online sites.

Additionally I'm sitting on a ton of 2 or 4 (and potentially I still have my m-lock 6 disc and an assortment of 8-dsc) cases I'd be willing to part with for cheap.

I live in Maryland, but usually I just find a large stock which is prohibitive to me.  I'm looking for something better for my copies of FF7 (3 discs), FF8 (4 discs), and FF9 (4 discs).  So basically I only need 3 DVD cases.  Are the ones you have the same thickness and size of a regular DVD case?  And how are the extra discs held (swinging insert, inlaid spots, one thick center ring)?

Should be swinging tray on the 3 and 4 disc ones.

I'll try to take a few pics tonight when I get home.
