My console systems and games collection.

[Thierry Henry]

A few Famiclone systems.

They work pretty well. They're also all compatible with the NES to Famicom converter, so NES games work fine on them as well.

Bad Bad Long 2

Weird.

Bad Bad Long 2

Weird.

In the manual/paper insert it's written as Bad Bro Long 2.
Gotta love those Chinese knock-off systems.

Unashamedly it's trying to rip-off in terms of looks the design of the PS2.

Thank you.
I've got a bunch of Sega related stuff that I've yet to entirely catalog. I'll put it up here when I get a chance.


So regarding recent purchases,
this was a nice haul for under $30

A couple of Nokia N-Gage QD's either side of an original model 1 N-Gage portable gaming system/phone,
and a few games,








As well as a bunch of promotional materials incl magazines, posters, stickers, various advertisements,
the seller even threw in a Nokia branded pen and ball.

That Robocop 2 and Navy Seals games look amazing. Really fine graphical detail. But both games are as hard as nails to play. Very unforgiving.





And this is what I have thus far for the Tapwave Zodiac,

A couple of Zodiac² handhelds and a few games.

[Menegrothx]

I was originally going to get Amstrad GX4000 and Tapwave Zodiac but came to the conclusion that those systems aren't worth getting due to lack of games. I still kind of want a GX4000 just for the looks. Have you researched it's game library?


Oh yeah, I've never commented this thread yet. Even though you have a lot greater collection than I do, I kind of feel that we collect games the same way. I'm very compulsive about getting all the consoles and gaming systems I can. The rational part of my brain is telling me to get a good collection of games for NES, SNES, PS1 etc but so far I've been postponing that mission just so I could acquire more and more gaming systems. And I can definitely sympathize with having to deal with shipping costs and all that, although I'm sure you've got it worse than I, being in South Africa and all. Btw are there any import tariffs there? Some times when I'm ordering big packages (old consoles) from outside of the EU zone, stuff gets stuck in the customs and I've got to pay them

One thing that strikes me in your collection: why do you have so damn many golf games for PC?

Very briefly.
What I do know is that the three games I have for it (Robocop 2, Navy Seals, and Burnin' Rubber are three of the better games for the system.
I'll look further into it to see what other, if any, worthwhile games there might be for it.

A few boxes to tick.

Do you have the funds?
Do you have the space?
Do you get enjoyment out of it?
Does your significant other put up with it?

But yeah I'm the same way. I collect a variety of systems and I particularly tend to be partial to the more obscure/less known type of consoles.

Any and all items shipped via Priority or Express Mail I get burdened with customs charges.
Most First Class Mail parcels tend to be left alone. But really it's a totally hit-or-miss affair.
Customs duty fees are all over the place in SA. By that I mean I can sometimes be charged the equivalent of a measly $10 for a $200-300 item and other times be charged double that for a much, much cheaper item. Go figure.

One thing that strikes me in your collection: why do you have so damn many golf games for PC?

I went through a phase where I was competing locally in tournaments.
In real life I play off quite a decent handicap as well. So I guess that's gotta be my excuse for all those golf games. :p





Anyway,
here's a few GB Color pick ups,
