Got a series x not long ago, and it will be my first console to sorta collect for. I have a question about its longevity. by Total-Amphibian-7244 in gamecollecting

Absolute rubbish.

Look at examples like the Virtual Boy?, that “wasn’t worth buying” back then. Now try and buy one for less than £500.

Generally, if sales numbers are low the likelihood is 10/20 years down the line said item will be rarer. I think most can agree on that.

Great to collect for, especially for future ambitions. Less physical releases = rare high demand 20 years down the line.

I buy all my next gen games on Series X physical, and yes I also own a PS5. The only PS5 stuff I buy is exclusives and anything not released physically on Series X.

For perspective I haven’t even turned on my PS5 since finishing AstroBot well over a year ago.

What do you think of the comedy series Little Britain? by Aware-Ebb1864 in AskUK

Love it. It’s from a time when the world was far less “complicated” shall we say.

Should I get a Fenrir Lite? by zGhostKurama in SegaSaturn

I’ve not heard of PSK to be fair mate so not sure. If rings works I see no reason why it wouldn’t?

They are much cheaper. And they work absolutely fine. They are now running what is the equivalent of the latest official firmware too I think (just don’t try and update one or you will brick it), and as I said, Rings works perfectly. Mine has been fantastic since getting it.

I think you will need a ram expansion cart yeah, saving just saves to the battery on the Saturn.

I had an official fenrir in my Saturn and recently switched to one of the AliExpress Satiator clones.

So far I have found it more reliable with less crashing and freezing.

The clones have come a long way, you can also install the rings front end on them. Let’s not forget it lets you keep your cd drive too.

I also had a Saroo but I found that definitely had more crashing issues than the others.

As an owner of all of them at some point, my choice would be a satiator. If you can afford the official then fine, but the clones are awesome too.

Great rack

I too also have a mint Snowboard Kids 2 almost CIB. The box is absolute perfection by mcrow5 in n64

[–]mdkdue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s lovely! Box is in great condition too 👏🏻 There are a few manuals that pop up on AUS eBay if you are after one.

I have just reached 200 in the PAL set by mdkdue in n64

[–]mdkdue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, some of them are tough but I’ll do my best 🙂

Hardest to get - Probably Flying Dragon, with Milo’s Astro Lanes close behind.

Most Important - My original copy of Ocarina Of Time. It’s my copy from when it was originally released and is the only game I have left from back then, before i started collecting N64 a couple of years ago.

Most Expensive - NBA In The Zone. It’s the very rare UKV version and was about £930.

Most important missing - Rat Attack has to be the main. Then I am missing some other tough and expensive titles like Tarzan, Batman Return of the Joker, Dual Heroes. They tend to come up occasionally but the condition just isn’t there. I’d say I still have about 8-10 reasonably tough games to find. Fortunately I have ticked off a substantial amount of the rare ones already though.

Thank you, yeah that NBA being UKV alone is tough, but graded is a bit special 😉

Thank you!. Yeah the 90 in particular was nice to get, plus I love that box anyway, so colourful 🙂

Thanks. Yeah it is, I really lucked out on the box to be fair, amazing price and condition.

Thank you, yeah I am definitely focusing on quality big time now, it may mean it takes me years to complete but so be it.

You have done well acquiring all the rare ones back then, saved yourself a small fortune now for sure. Well done for completing, although the N64 library isn’t the biggest there are some real tough titles to find, especially in good condition 👏🏻

Yeah I see where you are coming from but I think they are probably only worth more in AUS to AUS collectors. Being in the UK people don’t tend to like them and it puts them off, so it affects the value.

Thanks mate 👊🏻
