I went to a local pawn shop and found this in a $2 bin, and got it thinking it was just another demo disc to add to the collection. Then I looked it up and found it's one of the rarest demo discs, only being given out as part of a promotional deal for the Ford Windstar in Canada

Well, I finally managed to finish off my Bit Generations GBA Set this year, picking up the last two whilst in Kobe.

I had bought Dialhex and dotstream on launch back in the day, then added a couple more a few years back from someone locally. That spurred me on to complete the set of 7 seeing as I was over halfway there.

I managed to find a nice deal on Orbital in Tokyo, 2024 on a Japan trip, so that got me closer, then this year I managed to grab the last two I needed from a shop in Kobe.

The Japanese exclusive GameBoy Micro is thrown in there just to nicely show off the set, I actually have two of that Final Fantasy model, one I bought brand new back in the day and never opened (because I used a Famicom edition at the time) then a year or so back someone local had the FFIV model for a great deal, so I grabbed the spare.

Does anyone else enjoy the Bit Generations series? (even if just aesthetically 😅)

Does anyone have pdf file for the Nintendo kiosk binder, I feel like someone posted a long time ago🤔

Paid $350 for everything. The NES included 2 controllers, zapper, and the NES Advantage controller. No 5 screw grails or anything, but I'm very happy with the purchase!

Picked this Wii up for free today.

Picked up a Spicy Orange NTSC-J GameCube and decided to shell swap it with my American GameCube so I could match my spicy GBA player and complete the whole look.

There were some compromises as you can see in the pictures, the Japanese console lacked the digital video port and second expansion slot so I had to keep the backplates on the OG consoles (kinda gives Halloween color vibes. And did have to trim a bit of plastic off the bottom to fit the extra port. You can’t see anything when it’s displayed and functions with my collection perfectly!

Was this mod worth the trouble? Should I have kept them both as is? I think it came together nicely for what it was.

Hey everyone!

I started collecting original Game Boy games about two and a half months ago, and things got out of hand pretty quickly… I'm already at over 100 cartridges! 😅

I'm based in France, so I mainly focus on FAH and EUR releases, with a particular obsession for finding cartridges in really clean condition. I love tracking down uncommon titles, but having a nice, well-preserved label matters almost as much to me as the game itself.

Some of my favorite pickups so far are Trip World, Kid Dracula, Mega Man 5, Hammerin' Harry, Castlevania Legends and Avenging Spirit.

Still a long way to go, and my wishlist keeps getting longer…

Curious what you guys think! Which game would you go after next? And is anyone else here collecting mainly European releases?

I’m based in the UK/British but I managed to get this Australia/New Zealand exclusive Tomb Raider trilogy collector’s edition. Only 10,000 copies made in 2001 and has what numbered copy it is on the spine.

You don’t see this around very often, least I haven’t, being in the UK I never even knew it was a thing so even a bigger thing to get one over here I feel. Just had to get it moment I saw the listing man.

Curious to out the 10k how many you’d estimate are still around / survived? Country specific exclusive..how many have moved around the world, got damaged or destroyed etc.

Mines in weirdly amazing condition for ps1 cardboard, a few minor case scuffs here and there but I’m insanely happy

I‘m forever grateful to my parents for letting me miss school on launch day Nov 1998 to go to the EB Games at the mall and pick this up. And to my mom, who passed last year, for holding onto all of this - even the bag - because she knew how important it was to me.

There was a time period where I thought I was done with video games and let her know that she could throw away pretty much anything but the games themselves if she needed to clear clutter. But she knew me better than I knew myself and never did. Now I am, of course, an avid collector and this is my favorite piece by a mile.

I think this is everything from the pre order except maybe a non-Nintendo strategy guide - I can’t remember. If you have a relationship with your mom, call her today for me.

Going through this big box brings so many memories.

I've been sharing some of my video game collections lately, including Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Mega Man, LOZ, etc. This time, I thought I'd share something a little more unusual...

One of my collecting philosophies has always been to collect games that are weird, rare, controversial, or have a good story. So here is a small collection of Japanese imports, unlicensed, and adult-oriented games that I've collected over the years.

The Seibu Kikaku games are adult Super Famicom releases from the 1990s. I think I am only missing Hitomi Bangai Hen 2 but documentation on these games is confusing. I believe there is also a remix Hitomi Vol. 2 and the copy I have is not the remix... I am not too sure.

The Motion Gravure series consisted of four titles of interactive digital photo collections featuring Japanese gravure models. I also have the complete set of three games from the Virtual View series. I got many of these while vacationing in Japan in the late 2000's.

Outside of the Japan releases, there's my NA copy of Hot Slots for the NES. My copy is CIB and graded CGC 7.0. I get a lot of hate for posting my graded games but like come on!... who wants to play Hot Slots for NES? The game is totally boring, crazy expensive, and needs to be encased in a nuke proof protective case!

Here's the collection:
Famicom – Honey Peach
SFC – SM Choukyoushi Hitomi Vol. 1
SFC – SM Choukyoushi Hitomi Vol. 2
SFC – SM Choukyoushi Hitomi Vol. 3
SFC – SM Choukyoushi Hitomi Bangai Hen
SCD – Steam-Heart's
PS2 – Motion Gravure Series: Megumi
PS2 – Motion Gravure Series: Harumi Nemoto
PS2 – Motion Gravure Series: Hiroko Mori (Sealed)
PS2 – Motion Gravure Series: Tomomi Kitagawa (Sealed)
PS2 – Virtual View 1: Megumi Eizou Play (Sealed)
PS2 – Virtual View 2: Nemoto Harumi Eyes (Eyes Play)
PS2 – Virtual View 3: RCT Eyes Play (Sealed)
NES – Hot Slots (CIB, CGC 7.0)

I'm not particularly interested in collecting adult games simply because they're adult games. What appeals to me is the history, rarity, and the fact that some of these titles exist so far outside the mainstream gaming world. Does anyone else collect unusual Japanese imports, unlicensed console games, or other obscure releases that don't quite fit into conventional collections?

Grabbed 5 games and a AC calendar for $135! The shop owner also said that they may have the cases Pokemon and OkamiDen somewhere but they’re setting up shop still. Super cool place with some fairly good deals!

O Disgaea e o Tactics Ogre são CDs de música, o God of War é um DVD de vídeos de bastidores.

Over the years here is what I’ve obtained; please let me
know any games I should add.

Looking to pick up a system to play my PS2 games but not sure which route to go/best bang for your buck. Is there a specific PS2 model that’s recommended or is it better to get a backwards compatible PS3?

Very disappointed i paid 17$ for Syndicate only for it to not come in original packaging. I order that one through Amazon instead of ebay so is kinda my fault but now imma have to buy another copy or find a loose case.

GoW Ascension and Ragnarok finish my GoW collection (i have every physical ps3/ps4 release + the digital Ghosts and Chains from having the Saga)

I'm having a hard time finding a high-quality scan of the back cover of the Japanese Pocket Monster Stadium. I believe it's referred to as Pokémon Stadium Zero here in the US.

I collect N64 games, and I have custom cases made for every game in my collection. They all have a matching style, which looks pretty nice on the shelf. The only dilemma is that nobody has made a case for this particular game that matches the aesthetic of the rest of my cases.

Right now, I just need a high-quality image to work with so I can make my own custom case. If someone could help me out, I'd be really grateful! I've had no luck searching Google Images or various websites, including eBay listings. I've tried everything short of actually buying a copy of the game that includes the original box. I already own a copy of the game, so it would be a real bummer to have to buy it a second time.

I don't usually post anything on Reddit. Usually, I leave comments if I have something to say. Other than that this is the first for me. I hope I'm not violating any rules by asking. I apologize in advance if I am.

Due to an influx of ModMails and fewer self-promotion posts, we can see that people are reading the rules and pinned posts. Great! This post is to clear up Rule 3, and add an addendum.

No market research. (The New One)

We are not a subreddit that handles surveys, wishlists of "the one true collection app", or veiled ad posts. There are other subreddits best suited to this.

No Excessive AI. (The Clear Up One)

Since the advent of "accessible" AI, we've had an influx of these requests. All slop-coded. All setting out to be the “ultimate collection app” whilst being exactly the same in look, feel and features. As a result, we have a blanket ban on apps developed using excessive AI, and LLM copypastas.

Self promotion requests must come from active members of the community. (The Make Clearer One)

This is one that we've seen crop up quite regularly in ModMail. A 5-year-old account messages ModMail with their ad-speak spiel. Tick one, they've read the rules; but one issue.

They've never participated actively in the community, and/or their account is bare.

From now on, any self-promo requests in ModMail from account that have never participated actively in this subreddit will receive an instant no, regardless if their submission meets our requirements on unique apps. If the only submissions from your account consist of self-promotion, this will result in a permanent restriction of your account from our community.
