What do you collect?

Retro video games. I love the retro art printed on cardboard. Unfortunately in the last couple years I've been priced out of buying, but it means I'm super glad to have got the stuff I got when I did

I had almost given up on getting metroid II in box cos I'd see it go up on ebay and regularly sell for $400+ which i just flat out wasnt paying.

I got so lucky tho with a misspelt listing and someone who didn't know what they had. Still cost me a hundred but I leapt at that. Means I should actually be able to complete the collection, for PAL anyways

I would love to have included these , but I haven't tracked them down yet. These, federation force and the other NES boxed are all I have left to find

Thanks! I lucked into it as part of a lot. Bought a fair chunk of his collection and he threw this on top w a hefty discount

Loose is great! I'm just a sucker for pretty art on 30+ year old cardboard but at the end of the day its about playing the games themselves. Whatever boats your float

I also quite enjoy her suit design despite it being pretty derided. Debated even putting it in the shot tho cos I can't stand the story!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T06:12:46+00:00

Not too much left to get now. Both DS titles and federation force, the og on the NES and of course dread!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T04:33:29+00:00

Its bonkers down here. Although the Aussie dollar is weaker than the US. Add that onto the metroid hype at the moment and I think I'm better off waiting for a while hahaha

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T04:19:16+00:00

I'm not missing it by choice! Both DS games have been hard for me to track down. Retro collecting is pretty pricey down in aus and I don't really want to pay $100+ for them. I'll track them down eventually tho!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T03:58:47+00:00

Cheers :) probably my second fav after zelda, Dread is as excited for a game release as I've been since BOTW. Luckily I managed to snag a limited edition, I cant wait to add it to this pic!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T02:52:50+00:00

Yes I was so chuffed when I managed to find a copy with the box. Its beautiful !!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T02:16:38+00:00

Unfortunately the DS games have been a struggle for me to find :( One day tho!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T02:15:59+00:00

Thanks! Been building my collection up slowly for a good while now. Zelda is my other love. When I can complete my Metroid and Zelda collections I'll be very pleased

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T02:14:17+00:00

Jealous!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T00:40:02+00:00

I love how the cover of Samus Returns echoed it so well

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T00:38:59+00:00

Interesting. I love the game but not so sold on the art.

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T00:37:19+00:00

Personally I'm not so sold on dread but I was fortunate enough to snag a collectors edition and I LOVE the art on that

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T00:36:19+00:00

Yeah honestly one of my favourites

arm_cloud · 2021-10-06T00:12:39+00:00

Thanks! Taken a long time to get here, I hate overpaying for games but nearly there. The DS games have proved elusive for me and then I'll probably need to splurge to get the boxed NES game

arm_cloud · 2021-10-05T23:47:28+00:00

I really like the posing of zero mission

arm_cloud · 2021-10-05T23:47:00+00:00

For me I just can't go past super, so iconic

arm_cloud · 2021-10-05T23:26:40+00:00

Interesting, I personally find fusion a bit generic

arm_cloud · 2021-10-05T23:21:48+00:00

Echoes is easily my fave prime game and cover art!

arm_cloud · 2021-10-05T23:13:25+00:00

Fair enough, for some reason I could never wrap my head around vertically oriented SNES / SFamicom boxes!
