For Me:

Yugioh Games

Wrestling Games

Anime licensed games

feel free to laugh but i also LOVE game show games like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune along with board game games
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

I say Hyperdimension Neptunia, Senran Kagura and Gal Gun Double Peace are must haves for any video game collector.
I have approximately 1 terabyte of anime on my computer.

Retro RPGs of all kinds! Two favorites:


A collection of colorful older RPG cases looks lovely together, I should get a "group photo" sometime!

Also older fighting games can be good to have for the booklets and case, although playing them this way is largely outclassed and outdated by modern ports.

So are you asking what type of physical games we collect for retro or otherwise? I guess for me I would have to say I am big into the PS2 horror titles, I collected many of them back in the day but I still need some of the more expensive titles. There are a lot of holy Grails out there I still want to acquire. But the moolah that they demand is, well, demanding! πŸ’ΈπŸ’ΈπŸ’Έ

Well me being the horndog that I am, I own quite a few adult games, mainly FMV strip poker/gambling ones. Also have some of the unlicensed adult NES games reproduced on Famicom carts from Chinese online stores.
Other than that I'm not really sure...? I like picking up wrestling games, although I stopped at WWE 13 on the Wii. I have a real soft spot for volleyball games, I just find them so fun.
I've picked up Akiba's Trip 2 on any platform that has it, as I'm obsessed with it. Am equally obsessed about Streets of Rage 2, especially since it has such a modding community for it. I own an extra 5 copies of the game where the characters and moves have been hacked, I have a Sailor Moon copy of the game among them, as well as one where you can play as Hatsune Miku.
I love racing games although I either like them being simulation-perfect or absolutely trash, I have no middle ground.

If you visit a lot of diff shops, you'll start to get a sense of which ones are rare and which aren't. If that doesn't help, you can usually tell by the price. The ideal situation is to find a game cheaper in person than it's listed for online, which is rare. For instance, I managed to get my hands on one of the few english copies of Echo Night, a very early FromSoft game. The ones I really look out for are any games to do with Hideo Kojima, because I am a YouTuber/ video essayist who mainly talks about his games.

Bro you don't know how much I want that Siren box from you! 😍 I actually just recently played the true sequel to it Forbidden Siren 2 that was sadly only released in Japan and Europe. Such a crime we never got this in the US. 😭

@Retro8bit These types of boxes come up on Ebay once every year or two. Although this one I got for free when it was at EB Games, I have got others this way from the same era. You have to do some subscribe thing with Ebay and check your email daily. ^^


I just do a big $200 bid or something like that usually at the very end. Riff Raff things

Dang so I assume they ended up just giving you those big boxes for free during that era? I've had that occasionally happen to me, but it's very rare. Maybe our GameStop employees are just greedy. 😭

@Retro8bit Yeah I think I just asked to buy them or take them when they're going to be thrown out, and they were like "take them now!" and I was like WTF OK :D

After that I just asked everytime like a stray cat asking for food :3

Man if I was only so lucky. I bet you have built up quite a collection of those display boxes. Much to my shugrim and jealousy. 😭

By the way I'm curious, are you also a fellow fan of the Siren series? πŸ‘€

No, but I wish I got into them. My ex had all those rare PS2 horror titles like Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground. I wish I played them with her or something ;_; oh well! ':D

btw Capcom needs to do a Capcom all stars VS and add the Haunting Ground cast as a whole character, it would be dope af

Oh and yes I collect a lot cardboard haha spent maybe over 1k ":D

I'll share some of them here

The torn up CV box is one I got in like 2003 but was ruined in a flood, along with all my retro consoles from NES to PS2 era.. but I found a replacement on Ebay just subscribing to "PS2 display box" or something and checking daily. After maybe a year it popped up! :D it also came from EB Games around the same era iirc


Sadly the GTA box isn't bigger! xD

Pretty sure thats Vampire Hunter D artists art and there's no big game box for this since it was a GBA port (I own it actually)

Dang that is some awesome stuff you got there man, you really knew when to strike when the iron was hot. Tekken 5 is still my favorite in the series even to this day. 😍 Oh by the way, a lot of people don't know this but Fiona from Haunting Ground along with other characters actually made an appearance on Joe the Condor's ending on Tatsunoko vs Capcom.
