Anyway, gonna start collecting video games. I've been watching Game Chasers on YouTube and I just realized that there's a vintage game shop in my hometown. They literally JUST opened up. Might have to go and see what they got and start collecting. :nod:

Pro-tip: take a quick look at price guides for the systems you are interested in. You don't have to memorize them, but get a general feel for where the average price sits for a game, and what games are extremely common/not worth picking up. Just because you can get a game for $10 doesn't mean it's worth $10 -- sometimes it might only be worth $0.84. Also, it's nice to know what's worth a lot of money in case you happen to find a copy below market value. Even if you're not interested in that game, you can pick it up and resell it and help fund your obsession.

Vintage shops are a Catch-22. They usually have decent stock, but they also know what their stuff is worth. If you only plan on buying games that you absolutely have to own (favourite series, critically acclaimed titles, fan favourites, etc) then it's not as big of a deal. If you plan on collecting a lot of games, regardless of personal feelings towards them (what I'm done with my NES collection), then sometimes you have to hold back on making a purchase just because it's there, and wait for one that's appropriately priced. For example, there are a lot of games for the NES I don't plan on buying at any time, because I know I'll eventually get a copy in a lot auction or trade. No point wasting my money on them unless the price is dynamite ($3 for a CIB copy, for example).

I might actually just collect some consoles for a bit, I might see what this guy has. I know I saw an Intellivision the other day when I went to Gamers, they wanted $15 for it. And it still worked. :wacko:

Not too shabby. :top: Good luck. Kind of makes me wish I had more vintage game stores around here. One of these days I'll have to take a trip around the island and try and check out a few more spots.

That's what I thought myself. :nod: Unfortunately my old man hates the fact that I wanna start collecting old consoles, he likes the newer ones. :lol But hopefully tomorrow I have some luck. :nod:

The really old consoles (Atari, Intellivision, Colecovision, etc) don't really hold much interest for me. If I happen to come across some that are really cheap I'll probably buy them and start a collection (a few of those have relatively small libraries), but otherwise... meh. :shrug: NES is my one true love. :<3:

Okay. Someone ban me from the Internet. I need to attempt to get some work done.

The SNES and GameCube will always be my favorites. :<3:

But I wouldn't mind having at least one of every type of console. :lol

No, not that rare. I've modded every color of the play it loud series. They are simply less common because people were pissed when they announced the "game boy in color".

However, the blue and white are legitamately rare.

Stereo Headphones(DMG-02) was not included, since this shipment.

Game Boy Bros. is variation of system color, "Red", "Yellow", "Green", "White", "Black", "Clear".

That's a Japanese source, because they are called play it loud in the us. The limited ones include a couple of special university editions and some company editions. They were still the same colors as the PiLs just with a logo goo.

$20 for a working Play it loud is just about too much aside for blue and white. I can't justifyy a collleection at this point, but I do have a black, green , clear on and. I also am working on two aftergbs with after market shells from kitsch bent. Check them out in that " what projects are you working on thread.

You might be thinking about the Manchester United Game Boy, which was red with the team logo.

I doubt we could get them in NA, though. :shrug:

Yeah, it's been kinda wonky this evening. I got in once earlier, but I've been waiting in a queue for about 19 minutes now. It'll chill out after a day or so I'm sure.
