How you like to collect your games? -cart only -boxed -complete If you ask me i'd have to say complete, if that's not possible i'll buy the cart first and then get it complete later.
My NES collection so far...

If you ask me i'd have to say complete, if that's not possible i'll buy the cart first and then get it complete later. Complete is obviously the best, but that's getting harder and harder to do... It is sometimes possible to get just the manual or just the box without the game, and I usually jump at the chance-- often the seller doesn't realize that the value is NOT that much less without the game, as the game is far more popular than the box or manuals... -- Derek

In the past, I've had best luck getting great deals on complete games at garage/yard sales and occassionally auctions and flea markets. That's starting to become more rare. Ebay is typically a bit over-priced for most things, IMO... :( -- Derek

Ebay is a pain man, i have to buy most things on the net and ebay is one of them, i started collecting last year and bought 125 things by now and sold some stuff. Be glad you still have pawnshops,yardsales,thriftshops,shit loads of 2nd hand stores and not to forget fleas,damn you guys are lucky. But we have pal only's and that's a good thing, i traded some cool stuff for pal only's,so glad for that! :twisted:

Yeah-- quite a pain. I just wasted all afternoon posting a bunch of stuff on Ebay. No NES stuff, but it just takes forever-- writing information about the stuff, etc... It should pay off in a week when I start getting paid for the stuff, though... :) -- Derek

carts all the way, I play them, no point in just hoarding games for the sake of having them, they were created to enjoy through interactivity, not staring at a giant stack of them. that's not to say I wouldn't take completes, but I'd be opening them up and playing.

I do like to play them when I get a chance, but the boxes and manuals aren't usually played with, so I like to collect those, even if it's without the cart-- it's much easier to find just the cart later... -- Derek

*sigh* I, too, only have a couple of Mega Man games. Part two and six, to be exact. Is it just me, or does everybody in the world have part six?!? It must be very plentiful. I'll have to check some of those rarity sites that are linked to here. Anyway, I really want part one and three.

I think 6 was only released in the US, anyway those aren't hard to come by, but they costs you some money. I try to buy the rarer ones first and then the rest.

I try to buy the rarer ones first and then the rest. Most of the time, I don't find too many rare games. Without a credit card, it's hard to do on-line shopping. Luckily, there's a couple of retro gaming stores near my place, 'bout half hour drive. They usually don't have to much in rarities, though.

Well at least there are some gameshops dude, here i have to go on the net or to the flea, and the flea's don't have anything normal. If your looking for PAL only releases i can hook you up once in a while, if you could arrange some NTSC releases only we could trade in the future.

Do they both run on the same system, or were there different guts inside the two?

If you cut out the lock out chip in the console you can play most of the games, some don't work most do.
