I am pretty close...IfI acquire 95 more games, then I will have a full set of licensed and unlicensed NES games (including all major label variants). I have written off nine games, however, since they are so rare that I do not anticipate finding them at a good price and so expensive that I could never justify purchasing them. Accordingly, if I acquire 86 more games, I will consider my NES collection complete.RCBH928 wrote:Any here owns a FULL set?

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
There's been a boxed Vader 2600 on my local craigslist for 100 bucks... I keep debating it, but I'd just want to flip it, I've got a couple 2600s already and I'm not big on boxed systems. And I don't know how MUCH more than 100 I could get for it.
Gunning for a licensed NES NTSC-U set, follow the madness and poverty here!

If you are just wanting it to resale I would probably say you should pass it at that price unless he is tossing in some good games + accessories that would bump up the overall value.KalessinDB wrote:There's been a boxed Vader 2600 on my local craigslist for 100 bucks...

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Curious which these are. My guesses would be NWC gold and grey, College champ, Caltron 6 in 1, Myraid 6 in 1, Cheetamen II, assorted Panesian and maybe Stadium events? Bubble Bath Babes is one that someone could at least get some fun out of at least compared to the others.prfsnl_gmr wrote:I have written off nine games, however, since they are so rare that I do not anticipate finding them at a good price and so expensive that I could never justify purchasing them.

You hit on something I hate, way overpaying for games that are not playable. I have taken the hit on a few but still hesitate on them.Hobie-wan wrote:Curious which these are.

Commodore 64C with 1541-II disk drive, Fast Load cartridge, and modem.
Got tons of other stuff with it too - another (broken) C64, five printers, miscellaneous literature and magazines, and various word processing and business disks.
$25 total.

Nice find, Bone! Where did you find it? (My guess is Craigslist.)
The underlined games are ones I do not expect to acquire.
That is pretty much it. Here are the games I still need for my collection:Hobie-wan wrote:Curious which these are.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Yup. craigslist. I am a bit disappointed, I must admit. The seller had everything boxed up for years and essentially guessed what was in the boxes... And he was wrong.
He said there was a Commodore 64 and a Commodore 128 - in reality there was one functional C64 and one demolished one. He said there was a datasette - there was no datasette. He said there were games - there were no games.
I can't be too upset though - 1541-II drives aren't easy to come by and I saved a ton of money vs. what I would pay on eBay.

It's boxed, though. Boxed systems regularly go for far more than loose.RCBH928 wrote:KalessinDB wrote:There's been a boxed Vader 2600 on my local craigslist for 100 bucks...

My 2600 was around $30ish IIRC, it was loose. It also came with a bunch of games and such and was in amazing shape.
