This is the place to brag about collections that no one cares about. Stuff that's either weird, ugly, undesirable, not CIB, or somehow incomplete.

For example, I have all five Supergrafx games, but my gamer cred is in the red because two of them are loose and only one has the all-important cardboard sleeve. I'll never have a smokin' photo with them like Tats.

I also collect and play Ultima games, but only the console versions. Real Ultima gamers laugh and point. I have a lot of D&D and SSI games for home consoles, but they're worthless and no one gives a shit because they're not made by Square or Working Designs.

So post your underdog collections. I'll scrape some photos together.

I have about 70% of the Gizmondo games that were released.  No one gives a shit about that thing, but I think it is a fun little toy.

I have a minty 3DO-FZ1 with about 45 cibler games. It gets all the inattention it deserves.

I have an open source handheld called the GP2X Wiz.  There were a couple commercial games released on SD card format.  I own all 4 of them.   :lol:

I have almost every Next Generation Magazine from the 90s and yet I have a hell of a time trying to get someone buy or even trade for something I really want. I also got about 12  years worth of EGMS from 1990 to 2002...

Super Cassette Vision collector here.  Even most "serious JP collectors" forget it even exists.
And more importantly, I collect JPOP Single Records from the years '76-'96.  Don't care about condition.  Only need 2 more to get the full Pink Lady single set. :)

not gaming related, but i've got the first 86 issues of spawn in wonderful shape, with no holes. :D
in terms of gaming though, i've got all of the double dragon games on nes and snes.
great games, but all real easy to find.

Beat me to it.




My dads got the first issue one with Marilyn in it.  Found it in a garbage can down in Alabama

Guess Marilyn wasn't as hot as BillyBob's sister.
