Wow, nice collection. I didn't know Star Fox 2 was ever officially released.

It wasn't.

TO be honest, the ones I'm most proud of are the ones I had when I was little that I stil own and play today, which are the classics (espically Super Mario World, that game literally saved my life and is extremely important to me).

Sounds like this could make an interesting story. Would you like to explain?

Repro cart, one is actually up for sale here on Racketboy.

Love that SNES sign!

[Incognito D]

I didn't know they actually got as far as making carts of this game. Makes the decision not to release it even more strange.

Great setup man, I'm especially jealous of the SNES sign.

Without getting too much into detail, My junior year of college (which was last year) a lot of things were going wrong in my life. Grandfather got intensely sick with a case of staff infection, having SERIOUS roomate troubles, girlfriend was cheating on me for 6 months with my friends knowing about it and choosing not to tell me, and an Internship I got with Blue Man Group to work at their scene shop got dropped due to the economy. (plus the Captials lost the 1st series in the playoffs).
I ended up drinking every night by myself in my room not doing anything but playing COD4 or watching TV. I was a zombie. When I moved back home, things weren't better as getting any work was difficult (the job I did have at the time didn't have any hours ready for me for a few weeks) and I spent most of the time by myself with nothing to do. I cam across my SNES one day while cleaning my room out and plugged in SUper Mario World, a game that as a child I played with my entire family (including grandparents) as we made it an event together. As I begun to play it, I felt happy again, and the feelings and memories I had as a child came rushing back to me as I began to relive a better time. I went and played some of my other games and began to really love my SNES again. I went to my local retro game store and bought three games on a whim one day, began to really enjoy this retro gaming thing. Eventually, I started collecting all the games I could since last August.

This SNES (the one with all the crayons on it) is the same one I fist got as a child and still works and I still play it, haven't picking up a modern console since last fall. This machine made me feel alive again when everything else seemed hopeless. Everything is great now, grandfather is healthy again, got a new wonderful girlfriend who I love and who loves me even more, and I'm about to graduate college.

Just thought you all would enjoy that story. Glad to share it with you.

I love that red Doom cart... and I thought the black Doom cart on the Jag was something.

Your collection is nothing short of amazing. Thanks for posting it.
