    I don't plan on entering any of the competitions myself (as my Zelda collecting days are now over I feel it would be wrong to enter what I have as 'technically' I don't collect anymore) but I would just like to give Retro a big thumbs up for hosting a competition off his own back, very commendable sir.

    Some great collection pics being uploaded too, always great to see.

    Nice to see more entries coming in. The list has been updated. Unfortunately, it is quite sparse at the moment! Get those entries in ASAP, people!

    I'm hoping we'll hear again from diddydonn, sojiroh and limey, who all expressed an interest.

    Tatsujin - if you want to enter in the misc category, you are of course welcome, but we need a pic! Just create a thread as per the instructions.

    Oli - that's a shame, a C&C collection would be pretty cool! OK, so I have the recent box set of all the games, but seeing the originals would be nice, as there are a few that we rarely get in our shop!

    Kiff - a shame you had to choose between the two - always a tough decision! Pity that means there's no competition for the Zelda prize, at the moment! Thanks for being a good sport and not entering, though! ;-)

    I'm surprised there are no Mario entries yet. I'm hoping Virtual Alan will get a moment to take some pics and enter :) Any other Mario collectors out there?

    I´d love to enter the competition, but since I never collected all games of one series I think my stuff isn´t worthy to enter (I even miss lots of the most common games). Big props to retro though!

    Thanks, Diddydonn! The way things are going, you'll be winning most categories! Yeah, get yer Pokemon pic in, too - one more to win ;-)

    I realise that I was a little unclear on the time the competion ends. It ends tomorrow, but by midnight I meant the midnight at the end of the day, not the start! So if anyone wants to enter, you have just over 24 hours left. Got that? Good!

    Johnny - ask him if he can take pics ;-)

    DarthCloud - it's worth doing! You never know, you may be the only entrant! ;-)

    I just finished taking the pics, but sadly i don't have the cable to transfer them (d'oh), so i'll have to wait till my father comes home, which hopefully will happen within the next 3 hours

    Started to do some, attic/loft was hot dusty cramped and my bloody head hurts, after smacking on some beams :DOH:

    So only a small selection, as alo had to ensure all posted by 2359 to be to sure to get some in to qualify

    As you can see no nes/snes/gameboy or any Japanese/US NTSC games/machines etc etc etc etc



    Thank god for that......................managed to load and list about 100 items.
