Title: Ahoy!
Post by: ooPo on August 11, 2008, 03:50:36 PM

I've been quietly collecting games for a long time now, but as time goes on it gets harder and harder to find things locally so its time to stop lurking and join the community. Ebay is fine but I like to find games cheaply because it feels more like collecting instead of just throwing money around.

I currently have five or six TurboGrafx-16 systems, a Duo-Rx system w/ Arcade Card, a SuperGrafx and a PC-FX with no games. I also have a flashcart and have dabbled with writing my own code on the SuperGrafx.

Here's some pictures:

I have mostly hucards at the moment. I'd like to assemble a complete US set someday but games like Magical Chase make it an expensive goal. Perhaps a mostly-complete set will satisfy me...

Here's some other pictures of the collection itself:

I collect most games and systems I come across, but the TG16 and NES are especially interesting to me. I grew up with these systems and still play them regularly. So if you see me around looking to buy something, maybe this will show that its going to a good home. :)
