Tvols' Laughable Game Collection *updated 06.25.12*

Post by Tvols1480 »

06.23.2012
Hello everyone. I just recently decided to start building a collection of video games old and new. While browsing the web for info, I stumbled upon racketboy.com. It is exactly what I'd been looking for!

I am a full-time college student working full-time and living on my own. Needless to say, money is tight. I can only budget anywhere from $30-50 a month on games/accessories/promos/etc for my collection, so I know that it is going to be a slow process. I'll keep my short but nostalgic collection updated below.

After some late-night browsing on craigslist, I found someone looking to get rid of 5 .hack (complete) games for the PS2 for $6 each. I jumped on it and here is my bounty. For a grand total of $30.

you made a right choice! We are fans of pretty much everything.

lurk a little bit, read up, and you can find lots of US and import games.

From shooters to dating sims, everything can be found.

Its just a matter of space!

You already have the xbox and the wii so you can emulate lots of fun classic games.

but nothing beats the feeling of finding it original.

go check the new hotness that is over at the "Videogame look what I found" thread.

Maybe you can get an awesome find like his, and post it here for all to see!

Definitely build up your Ps2 and Wii collections, man.

Now's the time to buy, a lot of it can be found dirt cheap. Try hitting up pawn shops and whatnot.

*OP updated*

Just scored some .hack games off of Craigslist. I can't decide if I want to flip them and get some other stuff for the collection or just keep them. Thoughts?
