My SEGA Megadrive / Genesis collection

Some recently acquired titles:

I am very glad to have gotten my hands on a CIB copy of Ma Qiao E Mo Ta: Devilish Mahjong Tower (top left) as that sucka is an absolute bitch to find!

The game (top center) is called either Monopoly or "something" Tycoon?

I recently tried to find out the name of the game (top right) as from what I can find (or lack thereof) has never been properly given an English title on-line. I asked a few people who could speak the language and they said it was Crazy/Insane - Utopia/Paradise/Peach Blossom Spring. You pick your fav words as it could be any of the previously mentioned.

The game (bottom left) is Senki Chinese Battle Chess, or just Chinese Battle Chess.

Finally (bottom right) we have Shi Jie Zhi Bang Zheng Ba Zhan: World Pro Baseball 94.

I am pretty close to a complete Creation Soft set now, but a temporary spending freeze will see me wait some time before I hunt down and obtain some more titles.

 

I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of A Q Lián Huán Pào the other day (far right). & so the family of sexy Asian sluts has grown one more strong, soon we will take over the world!

 

Very nice collection

 

Thanks, I took some updated photos here: http://www.goldenagegaming.com/pages/about.php

Also, just did bit of an updated room tour here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohrEW4fbbIY&feature=plcp

 

I remember seeing the video to this on Youtube a while back

If i recall correctly you sold your nintendo collection to focus on megadrive? fair play to you megadrive is awesome!

are the games easy to get hold of in australia? I'm in the UK so it's PAL games for me as well, do you find games in the wild or from the internet?

There's not many out in the wild here, at car boot sales so i was just wondering what it's like in AUS,
i have family in australia so when i visit i dont want to miss out on some good old game chasing!

 

I unfortunately rely on internet as finding stuff in Australia shouldn't be replied on as it often falls short of the mark. I have given up searching the wild here as I normally return home frustrated and empty handed.

 

Dude I'm sorry for wasting your time lol

I'm the same person who asked you this on Youtube, my bad xD

But yeh tell me about it, 4 weeks in a row now I've barely found any games out in the wild or it's been raining.

and sleeping in the car inbetween boot sales is not fun, but its more about wasting money :/

But what is there apart from ebay? not a lot.................

 

Hey not a problem man, I didn't even notice, ha ha.

I actually get quite a bit from online places other than eBay. I get quite a bit from retro gaming forums like this one. Just before typing this I actually worked out a deal on Sega Age with someone to trade a few movie posters I didn't want any more in return for the SEGA Genesis Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego box-set with Almanac. Also purchasing services such as Rnkya I've used for foreign stuff. I mostly source people on forums. I would say that eBay is about 70% of my purchases. In Australia I've gotten a few things from Cash Converters and Game traders, but good finds or even finds at all are far and few between there. Only other sites I can think of is gumtree and quicksales, but once again not a lot of luck there. I guess it makes it that much sweeter when you do find something cool due to unfortunate required hunt.

 

I have some selling pages on Facebook which I frequent, got a boxed dreamcast and skies of arcadia from there, but that's all I got this year so far.

Gumtree is good if I lived about an hour and a half further south, so many good deals I've missed out on so it's a good avenue just not one which I can take advantage of.

As for cash converters, their ps1 games are 99p so i got GTA on Ps1 there, I go to charity shops a lot and have gotten some good stuff like silent hill 4 on PC, abe's oddysee and crash bandicoot games but recently they've run dry and are even asking Ebay prices for games.

Just found a load of cheap games on Amazon, half ebay prices, got bio freaks on ps1 delivered for £1 (think they messed up)

 

After watching your video I'm wondering if the guy in your avatar isn't you after all

Neat collection, I see the Wukong, Shui Hu and what have you that I sent you before(remember, that package that took nearly a year? :x). Still never obtained those games for myself, maybe someday.

 

Your collection is really cool, but my God that beard is awesome!!

 

Ha ha, that was in my Army days when I HAD to shave.

Thanks, every man should grow a lengthy beard at least once in his life. I want to grow it down to my pubes so the crabs can climb up onto my beard and eat the food crumbs that get lodged in there after eating. Here's where she's up to right now:

 

Wow, does that still fit in to the definition of "a certain level of neatness" at work?? I saw the beginning of your Q&A video on youtube, it was hilarious

 

You're a god amongst mortals!

 

My entire collection is being sold: http://segaage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=43&threadid=90149

 

That came as a shock to me as I'm sure it would be to everybody, just saw your Ebay listings, s*** is getting real!

I understand though, ''normal'' life just isn't for everyone. Working to live, living to work what's the difference? Live to be alive.

Good luck on your dream although as you say it's years away the sooner you act the sooner your plans can come to fruition and your dream achieved.

I don't know how I'd cope without games though, I do want to live off-the-grid and in the middle of nowhere but that will only be when I have lots of money and can afford to do it outright, my games will come with me!

 

Well said!

 

I agree with your plan but I couldn't do it without my video games, what are you going to substitute it with or do you reckon the new lifestyle will be substantial enough? Once you settle in what will there be which you want to achieve or would you have already achieved it?

 

Once I get settled in I will have achieved it. I have one life to live and I plan on living the second half of it out in the wilderness having as little as possible to do with the horrible society we as humans have created. Video games are something I am more happy to live without despite the fact i enjoy them very much, I would enjoy being alone and isolated more so they are a willing sacrifice.

 

There's always emulators anyway, in the end the only reason to really care about the physical products would be sentimental reasons, but for most people like me that comes from stuff from your childhood, not a bunch of purchases within recent years just to complete a collection.


Will you still use computers, or are you gonna live in the woods like Earthquake in that one episode of Macgyver(I'll be surprised if anyone knows wtf I'm talking about)?
