How many unique SNES carts do you have, Ack? (as of right now)

As of right now? 132 unique SNES carts, along with 1 Super Gameboy and 1 Game Genie. But I've got a limited budget and I've only been collecting for a little over a year(and most of that was spent just looking up fighters), so I don't think it's too bad. I've got a lot of the big names, though there are some that I really need.

Yeah, I'm avoiding completes for that reason. Cart only for me, I'm afraid. And as for condition...well, I prefer them clean, though I've got some that don't look the best. I'm gonna have to replace labels on some of these and remove some ink and nasty stickers, and I know batteries probably won't last on some of these much longer, so that'll be fun. But I'm on my way. I've ever got a checklist printed up from Nintendo that I've been using, though I already own one game not on it.

Frogger, of all things.

You could give the Wikipedia list a go. It at least has Frogger on it.

Yeah, but there's problems there. For instance, it includes things like M.A.C.S. Basic Rifle Marksmanship, which was a military training tool designed with special light guns made out of training rifles.

True, but not very often, and they're not what I would call a legit cart. There's an emulator floating around for it as well. But since it only works with their homemade light gun, I'd have to find out about getting one of those with it. I think it's something I'll avoid, since it's pretty much a hack by the US Army.

Hmm, that's not a bad idea. And it does include things like the StarFox Super Weekend Competition cart, which isn't on Nintendo's list.
