Call me evasive or in denial, some times I just want a break from all the debauchery! :?
It is what I like to call, my friend, having fun. You just want to have fun! It doesn't always have to involve, "edgy," violence, but just fun!

:shock:

That is an exceptional collection! You have some really hard-to-find games in there, and I am quite jealous of some of your games. (American Mensa Academy, Fritz Chess, and Mr. Bean are the real stand-outs.)

.....

On a related note, I found a complete copy of Penny Racers Party: Turbo Q Speedway this morning. It was a whopping $2.

Very nice. I see a few there that I've been looking to pick up for quite a while. Do you have more in mind that you are looking to pick up? If so, how many do you plan on adding? Just curious :)

Nice find! I'm curious if anyone else here has sealed games in their collection? My copy of Speed Zone sealed just came in yesterday (I think?) and looks pretty good. Since it was new I did end up paying almost $20, but that seems pretty good considering how hard it is to come by.

I think was I was a little over 250 when I counted. There are still a few cheap titles that I want, of course there are some rare titles I don't have like My horse and Me: Riding for Gold but I've never came across them cheap.

Most of these rare titles, I've found at gamestops in my 100 mile area (I ride my motorcycle around in summer and pick up titles if I find them). other things like MPT in the tin case was picked up for $20 when best buy had it on sale, I think I got Ju-On for like $10 years back on amazon. Some I've found at pawns for $5. I did buy One Piece on ebay because I wanted a 1st print copy.

Not so much into sealed games. Fishing Resort is sealed due to gamestop selling new converted to used. 1 Kirby Dream Collection is sealed because Best Buy was selling them for $7 or $8 and I bought an extra.

Is this Mario Power Tennis cover from the Canadian version? I only knew of the white "New Play Control" and the Nintendo selects versions.

I think it is the other side of the reversible insert. According to Wikipedia:
Each game in the New Play Control! series features a standard cover art, explaining the premise of the series, as well as each game's original Nintendo GameCube cover art. Each game's cover art is reversible; reversing the cover shows the original version of the cover art with no New Play Control! branding, except on the game's logo.

Nice, I guess most of us that have that many Wii games definitely have the bug to collect. That likely means we will continue to add games atleast at a slow pace when we find them :)

I do have a good bit of sealed games. If I find them on Clearance I get them and don't open them until I'm going to play them. Was just curious as I do tend to try and shop clearance sales whenever possible and figured others did the same. Going to miss Kmarts game section :(
