Post your game purchases and collection!

I just loaded 5 bucks onto my steam wallet, so when the sale comes around I'm gonna buy Age of Empires 2 HD and some other game my friends may have.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

I'm still wondering if we can play AoEII HD games against AoEII Original players. I mean, even on Xbox One they wanted to add cross-platform multiplayer.

So I was bored and I thought I would check out how many physical games there are in my collection so far, and if I exclude my bro's GBA games that are hidden somewhere and possibly some 3DS games he put elsewhere, this is what I got it seems:

NES 63
Super Nintendo 83
Nintendo 64 28
GameCube 16
Wii 28
Wii U 15
Game Boy 3
Game Boy Color 1
Game Boy Advance 7
Nintendo DS 34
Nintendo 3DS 18
Sega Master System 4
Sega Genesis 32
Sega Saturn 1
Sega Dreamcast 2
Sega Game Gear 2
Playstation 1 25
Playstation 2 53
Playstation 3 38
Playstation 4 1
PSP 10
PSVita 9
Xbox 6
Xbox 360 23
Xbox One 8
Atari 2600 49
Atari Lynx 2

That's over 600 games , and for Playstation consoles, most of my games are JRPGs.

Yeesh, I've got only 2 NES, and ~100 Wii+WiiU+3DS+DS+GameBoy games

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Yeah I didn't realize I had that many. I thought I had more like 200-250, since I thought I mostly had older games. I guess it's because I have many DS/3DS/Wii games compared to just a few years ago. That said, at one point I might re-sell some of the games I like less, once I have beaten them, and keep my favorites. I'm most likely keeping most Wii U and 3DS games. Two summers ago I went through my collection and played many games I bought, only to find that some of them really sucked or bored me. Thankfully, there are many games also that I bought for $5-10, especially NES games, so they're pretty much like if I rented them.

Ok so this is one of the rare times where I buy digital games, but this time it was worth it: I just got Retro City Rampage DX, Shantae and the Pirate Curse and Affordable Space Adventures for the 3DS and Wii U from the Humble Bundle. I didn't know they also did Humble Bundles on Nintendo consoles. I didn't get the unlockable games, though, because I wasn't that interested by them.


I also bought Double Dragon II for the NES yesterday.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

So yeah I finally snatched a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii. The only problem is that it was the same price as the Wii U sequel >.< (it was brand new) since it's much more rare. So now I got all three Operation Rainfall Wii RPGs.


Also @JWinslow23 I got Spot: The Video game for the NES. I didn't know there was a NES version

[JWinslow23]

Are you kidding? That's the version I tried to base my remake off!

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Yeah I thought it was a PC game or some game for vintage computers like the MSX, Amiga and Commodore. I didn't know it was for the NES since I never saw a copy of it anywhere before, which is weird considering it's not that rare. I'm happy I got a copy, though

As for your game being based on it I was surprised when I saw the NES animations because I didn't know the NES hardware was powerful enough to achieve sprite animations this elaborate.

It's powerful enough for Recca: Summer Carnival '92. At this point, I'm not really surprised

On a somewhat unrelated note, you heard of Stay Frosty for the 2600? And what's the best NES basketball game? Tecmo NBA Basketball looks awesome, but I myself find it confusing.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Wow I just looked up that game and darn, the Famicom had blast processing 6 years before Sega did

And yes I remember Stay Frosty. I think there was a sequel, right? I was tempted to buy it at one point but it was out of my game collecting budget.


Also I don't like basketball. I prefer hockey, baseball and wrestling for the most part, although I don't mind soccer and football sometimes. So I can't help.


By the way, did you know that Tecmo did a JRPG back in the 90's? I know they now do some for new consoles, but back then that was not common. It was called Tecmo Secret of the Stars: A Fantasy, and it wasn't super good lol.

[JWinslow23]

Hm, just tried Double Dribble. I'm bad at it, but aside from the terrible voice samples , it's a good one. Especially since I found out an exploit that allows three-pointers to automatically go in

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Lol, I personally wouldn't call a game that good if to be good you have to rely on an exploit. But again it depends. If the game is bad but a glitch/exploit actually improves it then maybe it's good in some ways.

[JWinslow23]

I actually don't use it that much. And when I do, I usually mess it up . It's good anyways. I'm glad it's not the arcade version, though

[Dream of Omnimaga]

That reminds me, I wonder if the LJN football games are any good? The wrestling games for the SNES are fun but I wonder about football.
