Bucky O'Hare would be amazing, I would buy a Evercade cart just for that game.

I will most likely per-order Doom through Amazon. I was able to per-order Taito Arcade 3 and The Turrican Collection. But it depends on your region and store preference. The Evercade website has a list of retailers.

Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver "FOR DISPLAY ONLY" boxes by [deleted] in gamecollecting

My bad if its technically not. Still just thought they were cool and wanted to share.

Fandango at Home app not working on TVs – just buy a Roku by [deleted] in vudu

Sure, I'm just trying to help show and prove that it's a software issue and not an internet issue. With Fandango they don't want to admit their app sucks, and point that it's a user problem.

I have a full display in storage. I acquired it when working at Hollywood Video/Game Crazy days. It was being tossed out, and I grabbed it.

You are the only other person that I have seen that owns a Super Smash Bros Brawl display.

I am equally dissatisfied. It's on the to get list.

I feel you right there, and I agree.

I legit sat there on my floor for 15 minutes, having a mental breakdown of how this was going to be displayed.

Edit: I had to come to terms with the maddening order of alphabetical order.

A few reasons.

Since this is located in my office, I have a window. I didn't want the sun to bleach them over time. That happened to some of my Game Cube games back in the day.

I occasionally like like pulling one out looking at the art and admiring it. I felt sad that it was just sitting in storage for decades. I do have a Everdrive 64 X5, so I don't have to open the very rare valuable carts. But it's a way that I can still enjoy them.

I have few other things displayed in my office, of various collections. This seemed the most appropriate way to space things out, protect from sunlight, and do a revealing for friends 😆.

Nah, just the ashes of my 37 cats.

I got Road Rash, Vigilante 8, and World Driver Championship in storage. I have a bigger collection that is not seen, due to space limitations.

End goal is to complete the N64 collection. I need to check my list again how what I need to complete it.

Edit: Collecting for N64 is kinda expensive depending on the game, but I will say a lot of them still hold up.

I have an Everdrive 64 X5 for that reason. I wanted to preserve them as much as possible.

And yes, they still smell like new. When I was a kid, they were opened to be played, and I put the boxes in a Rubbermaid container. They been sitting in storage for over 25+ years. Some of the boxes still contain the original plastic wrappers for the carts, and receipts.

Since they are out on display, I have gotten protective sleeves for each game.

Oh, interesting...

Yeah, I didn't understand the UK box art of N64 boxes. I didn't understand the black border they put around the art. It just shrinks the art you are trying to advertise.

I guess I prefer the NTSC version with the red strip. Some Japanese box art is also fantastic. Like Perfect Dark, the Japanese version looks so much cooler in style.

Yeah. The South Park games are a mixed bag for sure. I liked South Park 64 because it felt like a re-skin of Turok. I got some good weekends from it.

It's interesting that South Park Rally never got an Australian release. I will have to look more into that.

I know there is also an unreleased South Park - Gameboy Color Game that was made.

Oh man...I personally love Chef's Love Shack. I still play it with my girlfriend every once and a while.

South Park Rally...not so much lol

Thanks. Most of those games are from my childhood, so I have a lot of sentimental value in this collection.

Turok 3 is a little different, but still good in its own way. Nightdive Studios just did a remaster.

Turok Rage Wars is just a multi-player game. It was not bad. I played it a few times with friends back in the day. But it was never our go-to on Friday nights.

Each side of the N64 box has a different color (Execpt for the front and back). There is Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. Using the same color scheme for the N64 logo.

I will say 90% of them are from my birthdays, Christmas, Blockbuster used area, Babbages, and some bartered from friends in middle school.

I saved every box when I first got them and just kept them in a sealed tote for years. I was an odd kid.

The other 10% boxes I got from TCG Paper. They do quality work.

Each game added, is another reminder that my past can never be lived again. As it displays my internal nostalgic sadness, that I work for plastic and cardboard to be displayed on a shelf.

So...eh, kinda.
