Game collecting - Expense and range charts?

Ah you're right, I forgot about Go-Net, Sumitomo (Smisey Home) and the Osaka Bank My Line. >_<
I heard Mega Anser was only sold in bundle with both, a ten-key-pad AND a Sega Mega Drive. Can this be true?

@henners
The Virtual Boy is easy to complete in the US, but Japan had some exclusive titles that range from 200-700 Euros each: Space Invaders, Virtual Lab, Virtual Bowling, SD Gundam Dimension War. They are not particularly hard to find though, just pricy.

 

So what was the other one then, as you said 3, I listed 5, 3 of which you weren't counting? Sansan?

I reckon Supergrafx is the cheapest full set. Assuming you only go for actual SG games, and not regular pce that benefits from the SG hardware (in which case Darius Alpha adds to the cost a bit). In fact even with DA you could get the full set for $1k or less surely.

@Legit..isn't Surgical Strike 32x mad rare, like 2 known copies?

 

I was thinking about Nagoya, Smisey Home and Mega Anser (like on Adols picture from ages ago). To be quite honest I haven't heard of Osaka Bank under that name before, I only knew it as "my line" for some reason... probably a bad forum post from years ago where it was called that.
I know your sansan story, cool thing. I saw plenty of these over the past few years, so I didn't really want to count it as a "rare modem game".

SuperGrafx counts as a full set? Come on
Another easy set would be the Gizmondo. Same goes for the N-Gage, I've seen complete retail-sets changing hands for 300-500 Euros (including Sega Rally & other rarities - in terms of n-gage of course). With an average of less than 10 Euro per game and many of those are usually still sealed, it'd be one of the cheapest sets for sure.

Also what about PC-FX? There might be some rather unusual games for it, but if you can bid on Yahoo I don't think it would be too hard. There's Zenki (150$), Zeroigar (100$), Nirgends (80$ maybe?) and probably the one or another uncommon adventure game for 50$ but that's it. Not that expensive if you compare it to other ~100-game line-ups.

 

Given as some people doubt Surgical Strike CD 32X even existed, yeah it will be uber rare (like Megadrive Tetris or Dreamcast Half Life), but if you're going full a full collection of region exclusives, you can pick up the other 5 without miracles

 

You're far from it.
With every reprint, "best" and other variation,it's about 4450!

Cheapest fullset? Supergrafx, if you don't consider Darius Alpha as one of them
Or Sega CD 32X, if you count THIS as a system (personally i don't...32X is one,Sega CD is another, and it happens 6 games allow to use capabilities of both..)


I think getting all GB/GBC games CIB can be a pain in the ass too.

 

Ever tried it?

How far have you proceeded with your Famicom collection? That must be hard to complete, especially once you hit 1000 games or so. Some re-releases or games from the mid-era (1991-1992) are really hard to find.

 

No,i'm not interested at all in GB/GBC or even GBA for fullsets,as there were not consoles i grew up with.
Famicom is about 1050 carts,so i'm about 900...i could buy in an instant around 100 of the 150 games i'm looking for,they're easily available for less than $10-15 a piece...i hope to do so in my summer vacations, but i'm working 60h/week right now (and you could add 10h on week ened to make and send packages for my 2nd job) and don't have much time to check on those.
