I used to be a hardcore gamer in the 90s... In the 2000s University, Soccer Stadiums, partys, alcohols, girls, traveling and music kept me away but I now have 3 years as a collector. I only play handhelds though, specifically GBA, 3DS and PSP. My main collection consist of NES, Super Famicom and Nintendo 64 games. I love videogames' artwork and I spent designing all my spare time. I recently joined Time Walk Games with the intention of bringing Fire Emblem games to collectors/gamers hands. |

Thought I haven't played a lot games recently, I'm a gamer first and a collector second. I won't buy games I don't want and don't intend to play unless they come in a lot with games that I wanted. |

Borderlands 1 almost got me divorced, and that always looms over my head when I want to play a game. That, and I have a kid now. Time is not on my side for gaming lately. --- End quote --- That's the good part of having a wife that like games too, never have problem with my wife because she's always playing with me |

I have different standards for disc based games and cartridge based games. I won't buy a disc based game unless its complete in box with manual. For cartridge based games, I don't really mind whether the game is complete or not. If there's a cart in good condition that costs less than a CIB alternative, then I'll buy the cheaper game. If there's a fiver in the difference, then I'll probably bite the bullet, and get the complete game. I don't buy games that I don't intend on playing or have some interest in playing. I don't understand people trying to own a complete NES collection, but that's not for me to understand. If it makes them happy, then who am I to tell them otherwise? EDIT: Also thought it worth mentioning that I don't collect PC games. If I buy a PC game, it's usually just a digital download. The only PC games I actually buy are Valve games... LOL. I collect for the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Mega Drive. I have 3 games for the Wii U, but I bought the console for my Mum, so I don't really collect for it, she does. I'll probably pick up the games I want to play, but it will never be a "main focus". I'll probably start collecting for the PS4, but I'll most likely skip the Xbox One, not because of the shit they stirred with their old used game or DRM policy, but I just want to focus on one console this generation. Collecting for all three last generation was a bit of a blur. To answer OP's original question. I'm a player first, a collector second. I'll never be one of those guys with over 100 games for one system. I'll most likely keep it between 10-50 games per system. I only want like 7 games for the GBC! LOL. |

You and me, Dravenae, our thoughts are the same. Most CIB cartridge prices are too cost-prohibitive for me to even consider them. If I can get a cartridge in good condition (manual optional), that's usually good enough for me. As long as the game plays fine and looks good inside a UGC, I'm not all that picky. But yeah, I won't buy CD/DVD games unless it's a complete game. To me, the cases are just as much a part of those games as the discs themselves. I guess it's a personal choice. And yeah, my dream "complete" collection is comprised completely of games I actually want/like. My income isn't nearly as disposable as it used to be, so any literally "complete" collections are more or less out of the question, realistically speaking. EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, I'd classify myself as a Player with Collector tendencies. |
