Another insane collection....

ADOL

Now that name rings a bell from somewhere?

 

Yes,it's mine!

And i put it online for 1-2 years now....

but i never made a site for it...so i put it there because some ppl asked to

I'll try to make more pics when i'll have time for it...European/US/Brazil SMS,Lynx,N64,Famicom Disk system,etc..

especially the Super Famicom one,i'm now 1300 titles out of 1450,i'm near finishing it!

 

My proudness is to have all those japanese stuff,when i'm located in France...

It is SO easier for japanese collectors (i'm not mentionning you,but japanese ppl in general) to collect them than for me,who live in France,and don't go in Japan (last time i've been there was in 1999!)

I never posted pics here because i thought assemblergames.com ppl were most interested in hardware,prototypes,samples and other stuff of that kind, not much in games, which i like the most (even if i have many hardware)

Too bad i lost pictures of myu G&W & Neo Geo Home Cart complete collections (however for Neo-Geo, i sold it via neo-geo.com website in 2002,so Shawn McCleskey,owner of neo-geo.com, can confirm i well had the complete collection)

 

very impressive h:

I have only a complete 64DD collection and actually i try to complete my virtual boy game collection (just one game missing).

 

@Adol
What I'd really be interested in is where you store all those games. On the photos, nearly everythings lying on the floor but I think it would maybe even more astonishing to see stuff like 1300 super famicom games or complete pce/dc in your crowded shelfs

ps: I always asked myself why you made a seperate photo of "Great Hockey" for SMS.

 

Because it is the rareste japanese Mark III/SMS game ever produced,a "not for sale" item,around $400 worth.

i stock them in shelfs yes,but they're so crowded that there are "3 walls" of games,and then you just see the 1st part of them,and 2/3 are not visible...not really interesting no,you're missing 66% of them..

1 day i'll have place enough to put them in nice shelves,not "hidden"

 

Adol, what's your insurance plan for these items? I m serious actually.

 

I'd be interested in, how much time you invest in your collection. Since you are a student, you certainly will not be paying attention to auctions and so all the time ^^
Due to the enormous size of your collection, I'm just wondering how you manage it.

 

I pay attention to the auctions,and sniper software exist you know

I'm a student, but i work at home,i don't have to go in class every day

And i work as well...

 

in what i'm also very interessted. from where did you get the information about full amount of available games for each system?

for ex. you mentioned that for the jap. SFC there where 1450 games released. how about the jap. PC Engine?

and how precisely is your source?

thx in advance

 

I used Daigirin back at the time!
But there are plenty of books in Japan letting you know systems complete soft lists...Megadrive Taizen for MD/MCD/32X, Famicomplete for FC&FDS..

and websites...pcecp.com for PC Engine for example!

 

yeah,..that's right. but when ever i check out several sources, each source gives me back an other result. even the official daigirin is not a 100% complete source. btw. how many PCE titles do you exactly count in your collection? this would help me a lot

 

Do you count "hibaihin"/not for sale games or not? Supergrafx games?
Game Turbo Express & adult games?

Only commercial games?
Japanese ones?
Hucards?CDs?SCDs?Arcade CDs?

Please be more specific!

 

OK, sorry my fault^^

of course all the official japanese releases from (super)hucards till ACD. if you can tell me the exactly amount of all released hibaihins i would be also glad

 

There can't be an "exact amount" of hibaihin/not released software...we discover some every year

You can count them on pcecp.com, their number should be accurate if you don't count pirate stuff like 6-in1 game,etc..

after that you have adult/Game Express games,Mooks,Caravn hucards,samples,etc..

 

that what i did before and i got 717 pcs. as a result (including hibainhins). but i know that several people own more than that (exclusive unreleased and protos), according their own declaration.

what i like is the definitely complete list of all regular releases between 87 and 98. but it seems to be almost impossible to get or produce an accurate list. therefore i was interessted in it, how much your, so called complete collection is containing.

 

That's not true,Daigirin give an accurate list or regular releases,no one is missing

 

This easily has to be the most impressive collection I've ever seen. A few questions for you.

1. What do you primarily use when you buy stuff? Local import stores, online stores, forum trades, auctions?

2. There is a real chance of getting scammed when buying older games that are sealed. Do you only buy those from trusted places/people or take your chances with anyone?

3. When going for a complete collection do you focus more on completing it or making sure the condition (cracked cases, missing spine cards, ect) is good?

 

1.Mostly auctions, but uii used to buy/trade at local import stores

2. I take chances with most people&auctions,as long as i see pictures of the game.

3.I first focus of completing it as long as the game is complete (box and instructions)...then when i have a "better condition" copy i can grab,i take it and resell the "old" one.
