Surprised you can see all the cartridges, thought some would be in fog from that distance.

BynaD ,

You wouldn’t happen to be coestar would you?

Coeus OP ,

I don’t know who that is

BynaD ,

A video game collector who’s name is also coe. I guess it was just a coeincidence.

Frogster8 ,

No original cardboard sleeves? That is very upsetting

Coeus OP ,

I collect cartridges just because CIB is way more money. I do have the boxes and manuals for about 20 games or so on storage somewhere.

Frogster8 ,

Yeah, most definitely are, I have about 20 of my old N64 games but as a dumb kid I threw the boxes and manuals away for taking up space, makes me feel sick now. I’ve looked at reproduction boxes but they’re not the same and also still £10-£20 a go.

As a 40-year-old I, logically, understand that the N64 is pretty old now. But at the same time I am deeply offended this is how I learned about this Retro Gaming group

Coeus OP ,

I’m 36. It’s going to be ok.

NO ITS NOT :(

skullone ,

You just made it worse ☹️

Wanna feel even older? the N64 launch date is almost as close to the moon landing date as it is to today… less than a year in difference

Top 5 favorites?

Coeus OP ,

It’s hard to choose. The Zelda games and Super Mario 64 are just classics but there are a lot of good ones.

PepperDust ,

Do you have any plans to create roms of those games?

Coeus OP ,

I don’t really need to.

PepperDust ,

I mean as in creating roms so other people can experience the games

scutiger ,

Which games don’t already have roms of them floating around on the internet?

Coeus OP ,

The ROMs have been available online for a very long time

Rabbithole ,

1/10 because Perfect Dark and Goldeneye don't have pride of place on the top shelf next to Majoras Mask. Epic fail move right there.

But also, why do you have so many identical copies of the same games? What's the point, or are they different region copies?

hungry_freaks_daddy ,

I had the same question. If I had to guess, I’d say they buy bundles of games often, where the bundle includes a game they already have but 4 games they also want. The price is right and the condition is good so why not? If a cart ever fails you have a backup right there. If the value goes up (likely) you can sell one of the copies down the line.

Edit: nvm, op replied here

kautau ,

Yeah it’s flea market strategy. If you try to buy one game, non-knowledgeable flea market seller thinks that game must be valuable, jacks the price up, puts it on display. But if you act like it’s just a box of old games, haggle them down on it like you just want some old games for your old system.

Oh! I saw this strategy in Toy Story 2!

Coeus OP ,

Yeah I couldn’t reply to the post. They are variants though. My extra cartridges are on the very bottom right shelf.

2 questions:

  • Why did those games at the bottom not deserve a clear plastic case?
  • What are your favourite games that are not the usual suspects?
Coeus OP ,

Those are just duplicates, they will probably get sold eventually. A really fun game that I like is Space Station Silicon Valley. Fun fact, there is a bug in the game that makes it where you can’t pick up a specific item so you can’t 100% the game. I believe that there were carts released with a fix but it’s not really talked about so I’m not sure. Anyway, there is a patch for the ROM that fixes the bug so I suggest playing that if you can if plan to 100% the game.

IzzyJ ,

I never knew Episode I podracer came in blue. I’ll have to find that

Coeus OP ,

It’s a Limited Run Games release

cybervseas ,

Is that a mostly complete collection? What percentage would you say?

Coeus OP ,

I would say around 65% or so. I’ve got a long way to go.

cybervseas ,

That’s an incredible accomplishment.

Wussy , (edited )

What’s your holy grail?

Coeus OP ,

The holy grail would be the gray Not for Resale Majora’s Mask. It’s something I’ll never own and it’s current value is over $9000. I’d also like Sculptors Cut but it’s pushing $1000 now.

taj ,

Jealous. N64 is the only retro console I always wanted and never managed to collect. I have NES, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, but never managed to get a n64.

bigwag ,

Vigilante 8?!? Not sure if I see it there but that was a favourite of mine. Nice collection

Coeus OP ,

I’ve got the first one but not the second. It’s a really fun game.

Wussy ,

What’s the most you’ve spent on a single game?

Coeus OP ,

The most I have paid for a game so far is $80 and this is my Not for Resale Majora’s Mask

StayBuoyant ,

Damn good job
