If you still have the system to play them on, what pre-PS2, Gamecube, Xbox games would you want? If I could get my hands on a cheap Neo Geo and Cross Swords, I will spend my money.

    I'd buy SNES games, definitely. When I was a kid, we only got a new game every year so we never had very many (unlike now where I buy a new one like every month and I have so many I can't even find the time to play them all). I'd buy Illusion of Gaia and Breath of Fire 2! And probably Wild Arms for PS1.

    I was cleaning out some old boxes last week and found my Commodore 64 - hope the floppies have aged ok. :)

    On a related note, totally looking forward to Carrier Command: Gaea Mission coming out next month. I loved the original version.

    Videogames are just one of those things I don't sell, so I still own all of mine. Had to get a new AC adapter for my SNES and it was a beautiful thing to see FF6 pop up on screen.

    How fun! I still have NES, SNES and 64. Not sure what I would buy, but I would definitely buy some! I also want a Game Boy Color because I just got Zelda Oracle of Seasons to play, the only Zelda (well along with Oracle of Ages) that I haven't played.

    My N64 - Golden Eye, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart
    My Gamecube (it's somewhere) - The Simpsons Road Rage (guilty pleasure), Mario Kart, Zelda: The Wind Waker,
    I broke my GB Advance earlier this year - but if I still had it I'd want Mega Man Anniv. Collection

    I'm from the UK, and I haven't seen a Gamestop at all. Gamestation used to sell older games and consoles, but then GAME took over and then it was just another GAME store with the Gamestation store design.


    I used to own a SNES as a kid, but only had SMW and DKC. I would rent games from Choices a couple of times a month.
    We sold a long time ago, not long after the PS1 was released here and got that. We used to just sell everything at the time lol.

    I don't sell my stuff now though. I have a PAL and NTSC SNES, a NES, Atari 2600, N64, PSOne and an Amiga 1200. My uncle was clearing out his closet and found the Amiga 1200 and gave it to us with like 50+ games. Managed to clean it up, get it up and running my HDTV and had a little fun playing some Dune. Sadly, the mouse had no ball and I couldn't think what to use except for my fingers lol. Will get a new mouse ball at some point.

    I'm in the process of collecting the old games

    I have

    30+ SNES games
    60+ NES games
    15+ N64 games
    20+ Gameboy(color,regular and advance)
    5 Sega Genesis games

    I got all the covers printed at my friends printing shop and put them all in universal cases, they look pretty slick in my bedroom lol

    It would be cool if they sold import systems/games. I can never have enough Super Famicom carts.

    On the other hand, it'd probably be a good thing if they didn't. :tongue:

    I still have my Sega CD and Genesis. I never sold those at all. But if I could find a copy of Snatcher and Popful Mail for the Sega CD on the cheap, I would be thrilled. Especially now that I have a composite connection instead of coaxial. I only sold most my games during the Gamecube/PS2 era. Oh how I wish I never sold/traded my copies of Eternal Darkness, Cubivore and Ikagura.
    Speaking of TV/System connections, has anyone successflly ever tried one of these?

    This would make me happier if I found out it works.

    I'm doing the same thing, there's not many things that I'm as proud of as my vintage video game collection which includes mostly gameboy/advance, SNES, Sega Saturn and PS1 games....matter of fact, any time any of my family members wants to buy me a bday or christmas present, I hand them my list of vintage video game wants...unfortuately the only games I have left on my list are $60+. I also print off covers and prepare nice cases for all of my games. There's a website called The Cover Project, that is a collection of various covers from all platforms that you can download and print. Some of my friends think I'm crazy for spending money on outdated games but I'm a huge retro gaming fan...especially the old school SNES rpgs. I've given up alot of things that I used to collect, but I shan't be giving this up!

    So many to choose from! Although i dont have the consoles no more, if I had e chance, I'd definitely brew a few pots of coffee for these games:

    NES - zelda and castlevania series, ninja gaiden, contra, gradius,

    SNES - zelda, r-type, metroid, Chrono, secret of mana, ff's, Megaman's, ghosts and goblins

    Typing this up brought back some cool memories. Time wasted from being active and social but i dont regret it - not even a smidge!

    I'd love to buy all of the rest of the TurboGrafx-16 games that I don't already own, as well as a Turbo Duo with all of the Turbo Duo CD games. And if I couldn't get a Duo, I'd like to get the Turbo Booster Plus add-on so I don't have to write out 2000-character passwords in order to save my progress (I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU, ORDER OF THE GRIFFON!).
