Crescent's Collection

A small introduction to a big chunk of my hardware collection.

My very first system was an Atari 2600, followed by an Amstrad CPC 6128 and brand new Megadrive I (I had 9 years old by then), all of which I still have in complete working condition. I started collecting videogames many years later, starting a small PS1 collection. I thought of trying to complete the PS1 PAL catalogue as it's one of my favourite systems, but I abandoned the idea after considering the huge number of games and space it would take for me to complete that collection. I collect games, consoles, promotional or contest-only items, press-kits and development hardware and software. I try to buy only PAL retail games and consoles, with the occasional exception.

Some of my consoles and press-kits, I'll leave some the games for another time. I'm sorry for the watermarks, but it's a quite common practice in some second-hand spanish sites to steal pictures and use them in scam adverts.

Amazing collection.
So many different consoles bundles, congratulations.

I loved your Power Rangers The Movie Mega Drive bundle and you Ocarina of Time Nintendo 64 bundle.

 

Great collection Nice to see your different SNES and Mega drive bundle packs. These bring back some memories of when I had used to sell these in a store I had used to work at.

 

Awesome collection.

 

Love those XBOX bundles!

 

Very nice collection. What is it with those NR Readers! I have one with the exact same crack in the same corner.

 

Any chance you'd sell that Halo console?

 

Thanks for all the comments. I really like console packs and variants, but those boxes surely take too much space.

I'm sorry but I'm not interested in selling it.

 

Absolutely digging that press kit collection of yours....I'm getting into press kits myself...I find some of them to be incredibly creative...much more so than the boring "limited edition" box sets that are being churned out these days
