Condition of your games

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 01-14-2004, 10:47 PM

I'm curious as to the condition of your games?

How you store them?

Are the boxes still in perfect condition?

Do you keep all the manuals?

Have you sold any of your games?

Given any away? (sacrilege to this and the above question!)

Do you still buy Retro games when the opportunity arises?

Condition: Good.

Strorage: Hidden somewhere in the deep abyss of a box(Parents fault) or borowed. Stolen the others are.

Yeah right like I still have the manuals even less the boxes see later for why. Sell them? NEVER. Unless I am offered a hight amount for one of my not good games. Give them away? NEVER unless it is a compleat piece of crap, without any sentimental value.

Buy them when the opotunity arrises? NEVER....errr wait, yes I would buy them just don't have the cash for it mabe in a few years. Same time I restore mys console NONE OF THEM BEING IN WORKING CONDITION, grrrrrr..rrrr. I just can't keep anything in good condition around here. And my parent say I break everything by not being careful. I CAN'T BE. Oh well.

My Games are in Good-Great depending on the condition I got them in in the first place.

Got a Dresser, I have them alphabetized in the drawer

The ones that I got that had boxes are in average to poor. And I got quite a few manuals also.

Oddly enough, not yet, although I have a box of duplicates Im going to sell sometime.

Give away? Not yet, althogh I might as a gift to a friend or something.

YES, if its a good deal, I will buy them depending on my finacial situation at the time.

Don't know the condition on them, I guess they're pretty good. Usually the stickers and the cartridges are unscratched.

I sotre my NES, SNES and Genesis games under my TV in a cabinet in the living room. The NES games get their special black cases

I keep all the manuals I can. I have a lot. But I don't have the boxes for any of my NES, SNES or Genesis games. I keep all boxes now, though.

No. I don't sell. My brother sells his sometimes. I don't give away either. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yup. I buy them quite often, actually. I recently just bought Banjo-Kazooie, 007, Rampage World Tour, F-Zero (SNES) and Street Fighter II.

Condition: As good as I can get them. I take care of my stuff, so whatever condition I get them in, they stay in that condition. In fact, they might even wind up in better condition once they get into my house; amazing how few people clean the connectors and leave sticky stuff on the cartridge.

Storage: Alphabetically in drawers (or shoeboxes for my GB games) if they're loose. Genesis games that I have the boxes to are in their boxes and stored liked books.

Boxes: I normally don't get the boxes, but when I do, I try to keep them as good as I can.

Manuals: Whenever I get them.

Selling: Earthbound, and I've regretted it ever since. I also sold this big box of N64 games I purchased just to get Clayfighter 63 1/3. I never cared that much about it, and I needed the money for Soul Calibur II.

Giving Away: Well, yeah, I often give video games as gifts. But the only one that was actually a piece of my collection and not something I bought strictly for somebody else wasn't even a retro game.

Buying Retro: All the time, my friend. At least 3/4 of my collection is games I bought used.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Good condition, I take very good care of all my games and clean all on them at least a few times a year. The boxes I don't hold onto, but I still have many of the manuals.

I've only ever sold one game that absolutly sucked, but I always have a few games that I'm lending out to my less fortunate friends that missed them when they were originally released (Of course I always get them back when they're done).

And I continue to track down older games to this day.

My NES works very well compared to most

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 01-19-2004, 01:03 AM

Time to answer my own questions, I guess!

Mine are generally excellent if I brought them brand new. Two secondhand ones have faded labels.

They're stored in a box I brought esp for them... except for my GB and GBC games which are in a drawer.

The ones I brought brand new... mostly. A couple boxes have small tears where the flap is.

YES! Manuals are important to keep forever.... mwahahahaha...

Haven't sold a single one... had one stolen though!

Nope... except as gifts bought esp for that purpose!

I still love searching for old games... must get my hands on PM!

My games are kept in near-perfect condition, but yet we have few manuals or boxes ('cept Sonic 2 ;p)
I sell some to buy some, so I never really run out.

Boxes: Garbage.
Manuals: With the Boxes.
Sold: Nope!
Given Away: Hell no!
Opportunity Arises: Only if theyre free.
