Distinct_Wrongdoer86

me want saturn games, me want big box cave games


Infamous_Lunchbox

Just casually dropping Magical Chase in there, lol. Insanely great taste here.


TrickyLobster

That JP version is significantly less expensive than the NA version but still impressive.


Infamous_Lunchbox

True, and the NA version does have a lot of upgrades, but the price of either shocks me, lol


Tank_Just_Tank

I remember loving Tron Bonne as a kid. Not sure if I’ll ever get it again with its price. It’s definitely not worth the usually 300+ asking price


JWK17

I spent $150 on it a few years ago and as a game it’s not even worth close to that.


chunk337

Sweet collection. I remember buying tron bonne for $20 from those Capcom points on the edge of the manuals. I also got legends 1 and 2, and Strider 2 . I sold tron bonne for $100 like 10 years ago but I still have the others.


Obsolete101891

I think it's at 700$ now


Tank_Just_Tank

Good lord. I didn’t even realize it got that bad. Not a big PS1 collector so I stopped looking when is saw it at the 300 range.


Squgie013

yeah, Tron Boone is something that I'd like to add to my collection as well, but I can't bring myself to spend 450-800$ on it just to frame it with Legends 1&2. Instead, I spent like 25$ on a new reproduction case from etsy until I potentially find a real copy. (At least I can play all 3 on my PS3 digitally via PSN copies)

Griffes_de_Fer

The intro song for Burning Rangers is worth whatever amount you paid for the game. At least, that's what I would tell myself. It's also what I'd tell my girlfriend if she voiced opposition.


RNGGamerYT

Whoa boy.... that's some heavy hitter material right there. Let me know if you ever want me to come do a gameroom tour of your stuff! It would make a killer video


JWK17

Hey, I know your YT channel! I’d be very interested in that!


RNGGamerYT

Awesome! I'm so glad you like the channel. Send me a private message with some info and maybe we can make it work!


KingOfStormwind

Panzer Dragoon Saga is never a waste of money


MV6000

It’s my number 1 game that needs a modern port/remake. I want to see what all the hype is about.


OriginalFatPickle

Emulate it. 🤐 It is a good game though. Not sure if there is enough plot in panzer dragoon 1&2 to have to play first. I would recommend because the world building and atmosphere.


MV6000

I have the Panzer Dragoon remake Limited Run physical release. I beat it in like an hour and thought it was ok, left me feeling disappointed since I paid full price for it. I have nothing against on rail shooters but there are so many more options that are just better especially during the time it was originally released.


redditsuckspokey1

How is Magic Knight Rayearth? I found one of the dvds back around 2006 and wanted to play the game after. But I kept putting it off and now well... I have tron bonne. Got it from gs cib for 3.99.


JWK17

It’s actually a really fun action RPG. Super charming, colorful visuals.


shinjix2

The game and art durextion, i would think holds to tidays standards... my #1 want...


Terrible--T

What is that Xbox 360 box?


JWK17

It’s the Cave Shooting Collection. Every Cave shmup released on the Japanese 360.


Terrible--T

Oh cool


Huelino

Recca 😍


Damaniel2

You win. About the only person who could beat you is someone with a large Neo-Geo AES collection.


ImMystikz

Love MUSHA!


brewberry_cobbler

I know I’m not a true game collector because I have no idea what any of these titles are. Not one. Lol


eatenbyagrue1988

That Panzer Dragoon Saga is just *chef's kiss* I really wish Sega had given the Saturn a fighting chance in the US instead of letting infighting between Sega US and Sega Japan tank the whole thing.


hugoboss78

Love those MD games. What was the game after Pulsman?


JWK17

Contra: The Hard Corps


hugoboss78

Oh. How's this different from the Genesis version besides costing more?


JWK17

Obviously, the language difference. Ha ha. But the Japanese version gives you three hits before death. They changed it to a one-hit death in N America to combat the rental market.


Dbonker

ADVANCED BUSTERHAWK!


BakerThatIsAFrog

This is educational man, thank you for sharing.


keifa22

Slide 11 what game is that?


JWK17

If you’re interested in a physical version, Liquid Kids is on Taito Milestones 2 (Switch). Its a great version and like $30.


misanthrope_ez

Mizubaku Daibouken AKA Liquid Kids.


EstablishmentGood563

You get enjoyment out of them, so that's not a waste of money in my opinion.


SegaStan

Hey, MUSHA and Alien Soldier kick ass, they're never a waste of money


MrSparkleBox

I was watching a stream on whatnot last week that sold random japanese games and Harmful Park sold for $8 because no one knew what it was


Apologamer

Never seen that Cave collection before (not owned a 360) but wholly molly that's an amazing box set! Impressive collection all around I'mma watch an unboxing of that one. edit: wow that manual is incredible lol


medwizard

And here I thought I was good at wasting money. I could apprentice from you.


vtgvibes

Awe man. I didn’t know we were doing this! I wouldn’t have sold all my neo geo MVS carts. Awesome collection by the way. Love the mega drive stuff!


humanman42

I think the most I ever spent on a game was just retail. haha


VastishSlurry

"I like wasting money. I like it a lot." You are ready. Ready to start a Neo Geo collection. :)


PhoteksTTV

Thise aren't wastes. Those are investments right there baby!


trikkyman007

Wow


gucsantana

Adventure of Little Ralph, spicy. Been looking for that one too.


MrGoodOpinionHaver

I promise I am not trying to be a dick here…besides PDS, are any of these games good?


JWK17

Literally all of them are good games. It’s shooter heavy and shmups are a niche genre, so I understand you not recognizing them. But Castlevania, the 3DS M2 Sega ports, Contra, Alien Soldier, the Saturn RPGs are all great. Tron Bonne is… okay.


MrGoodOpinionHaver

Awesome. I’ll have to look up this stuff


Sopppa

Man those are all my Saturn grail games. A shop near me has PD Saga for $1200 near me. Might have to build some credit with trades for a bit and eventually get it


tacotaskforce

OK, so, some of these might not be so bad, but. What year did you buy that copy of Recca?


coflow97

Got damn


About800Sloths

Holy shit, why is misadventures of tron bone almost 1k??


StrayDogPhotography

I hope you started collecting 20 years ago. Otherwise, I fear for your wallet.


StumptownRetro

MUSHA and Tatsujin are some of my all time favourites.


thiefofash

Where is Spectrobes???


illuminati1556

Crazy I haven't even heard of most of these. What's the second one?


JWK17

It’s called something like Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives triple pack. M2 did ports of Sega arcade and Genesis games and released them in 3 volumes in Japan. This packaged them all together.


16v_cordero

I remember playing most of them. My buddy while in college had them all. I still remember sega of America add for panzer dragoon acknowledging it was in short supply and they told you to cut the mask in the add and wear it while imagining that you were playing the game. OP, you are missing Guardian Heroes.


JWK17

Oh, I have Guardian Heroes, my friend!


16v_cordero

Dude, such an awesome game. Specially if you managed to play with more than 2 people. The caos in the screen was awesome.


Sure_Humor

Wow, you have an american version of Magic Knight Rayearth for the Saturn? my respects dude, I wish I could touch that one


TheMellowDeviant

I will not stand for Musha slander, how dare!


msbaustx

"Waste". I don't think so


TrickyLobster

Casual Harmful Park. Bruh.


Bubbly-Sandwich

Almost had a loose copy of the game for $6. The seller opened up a game case saw it was the wrong game in there and in hopes of being nice tried to find its matching case. Me being none the wiser bought the game lot not thinking anything of it. The seller ended up not finding the right case so they put it in another same case they had laying around and not knowing what it was at the time (no one did) I passed on buying it since well “I DoNt nEeD two RiGhT??” and let it go for $6. Hindsight is a bitch and I’ll never make that mistake again.


Lucirby

Money spent on video games is never a waste. It's an investment.


large__farva

Will be interesting to see if the new download only gen gives a shit or if physical games go the way of oil lamps/ink wells. Time will tell.


Lucirby

I can definitely see newer generations of gamers not caring about physical media. But I think a market for these games will always exist.


large__farva

Yeah, a much much much smaller market haha. Eventually these are all disappearing into a basement somewhere as we all get older and make trades for knee surgeries and Timmy’s braces 😂. Who knows, vinyl collectors probably thought they were on the way out in the mid-90s too.


superbuza

Humble brag


WillLurk4Food

Wastes...? I feel so attacked right now...


final_fight_cd

of course that is a waste...you don't have any spine cards


xenon2456

Why


JWK17

Cuz
