Brilliant game, wasn't there a version for PS1 as well? I'm sure i had it? By the way, MINTY!

Most of these are mint and complete. Only cost me about $7 a game.

Blast, any chance of a pic of the room you keep the games in? You must ahve a pretty massive collection now!

Do you play all of the games you have? I buy a fraction of what you do and struggle to play half of them!!

Ahh, I've been after this since I saw it on Retro Core but it always costs an arm and a leg! Did you get a good deal?

One of the reasons I bailed on collecting SFC games so early on was finding them in minty condition.

Yesteryeargames that copy of Umihara Kawase is truly a thing of beauty!

Thanks for the comments guys, Glad you like it!

Yeah it's in fantastic condition and I'm really chuffed with it,
I paid just under £50 in total with deliverey costs, I think that's still a good price?

I beleive there are a couple of PS1 versions and one on PSP but have never played them, Would like to try and get them now though.

Retro Collections look great, especially boxed complete. The downside is alot of you seem to spend a hell of alot of money that at the end of the day is going to sit on a shelf collecting lots of dust, and im proberbly guessing 90 % wont get played, only for display really. Retro games were fantastic back when they were new but ive found that going back to the "old classics" often dampens my memory of how good they were as a kid. More often than not they really dont hold up and are pretty poor in the current generation; with the odd exception.

Not for me. My retro stuff is bought to be played. The only console gathering dust in my house is my Xbox 360.

Nothing is really organised right now, but that's some of the junk I have.

Doesn't really bother me personally. Whilst I like to get SFC titles in that condition if possible, I'm more than happy with copies that are in decent condition and complete. Those cardboard boxes are bound to get at least a little worn over the years for the most part, so as long as they're not wrecked then they're good enough for me.

Besides, if I was trying to get mint copies of everything I wanted, then my little collection would be considerably smaller and have cost more money.

Even better condition than the one I have... I paid about $65 for mine I think, but that was 2-3 years ago now. Given it was the first time I'd seen it in a year, I wasn't that fussed on condition

What an absolute load of patronising bollocks

Making broad insulting generalisations about people that mainly buy retro games is both misguided and isn't going to win you any friends on here

If you don't understand the appeal then fair enough but please keep the trolling posts to yourself if thats the case, or go here

Trouble with that statement is that gaming is so subjective that it really doesn't matter what floats your boat it's not going to be the same for everyone. So, so long as you get enjoyment from it you're doing it right, whether that's buying and playing retro games or buying and playing the current generation of games.

I play each and every game I buy, not many will get played to completion that's true, but they do all get a look in, why else buy them? Of course I have my favourites too, but that the same in the modern console world isn't it?
