    I wonder if someone here got links to nice forums etc. where Japanese game collectors shows their collections to each other. Like this forum (or at least the "Your collection" section. I guess they, like us, have a lot of communities etc. but I have no idea where to search and it would be great to look around. It´s strange, but it feels like the japanese collecting "scene" is almost unknown (to me) so I am just curious to see what kind of collections they have.

    I stumpbled across this:
    http://booklog.jp

    It covers books & games, w/ a weird interface. I only looked at the sample. Not sure how many people use it.

    Thanks, but it seems to be "just" book/magazine collectors there for the moment. Very weird interface indeed:).

    http://booklog.jp/users/zzz <- That shelf-applet is awesome! I'd appreciate something like that for games, especially DC and Saturn. A great idea indeed!

    There was that TV show someone mentioned on this forum before, but I forget what it was called. Not a site, but it might give you some information about Japanese game collecting. They had a lot of segments on retro gamers in Japan. I remember a segment about some guy who had a complete set of Famicom games.

    Both the TV-show and BBS sounds interesting:).

    There is a similar product that uses Amazon, but I've never really looked into it.

    I think it was Yakumo who posted something about that show. Maybe you should ask him.

    sorry about the delay. here's a good link-collection of several retro-gaming pages. most of them have their own BBS/Forum. some of them also show up with some collections. but all in japanese only.
