FUNstation 3!
Posted in Art of Collecting, finds, Reviews, tagged famiclone, Famicom, family computer, funstation, funstation 3, nintendo, pirate, xoomstation on August 13, 2011 | 9 Comments »
I just got this in the mail (via Hong Kong Post, naturally). The box may say Xoomstation, but don`t be fooled- the console itself is of course a FUNstation. A FUNstation 3, no less (the caps are mine). Now, I must declare upfront that this does not, as the box claims, have “unsurpassed 64-bit graphics [...]
Persona!

I recently received a copy of the original Japanese PlayStation version of the first Persona game. I am such a huge fan of the series and the artwork associated with it that I am dedicating an entire post to this one game, and high resolution pictures there-of. Deal with it. I have been steadily increasing [...]
Nintendo Power Score!

I was browsing my local online classified site this past Saturday when I came across an ad for 71 issues of Nintendo Power. My interest piqued, I clicked on the the ad to find out more. The magazines listed were a complete set of Nintendo Power issues (minus 3 missing issues) from 2001 to January [...]

I recently had some *gasp* free time, and I thought the best way to fill it would be to pull all my beloved Famicom games out and put in and play each and everyone, if only for a minute. I sat down and played for a good solid three hours… something I haven’t done with [...]
SEGA!

I recently gathered all my SEGA boxes and crowned one of my gaming shelves with their awesomeness. Funny thing is, I never really set out to collect SEGA stuff boxed, it just kind of appeared.Having realized that I was in possession of such a glut of radness I just had to centralize it all. It [...]

I have been getting quite a bit of Mega Man stuff lately without even realizing it, so i decided to make this a catch all finds/collection post. Now, I do not have the most extensive or impressive Mega Man collection, but it has never really been about collecting Mega Man games to me. The joy [...]
Hanafuda Fever!

Pursuant to my earlier post which saw me searching my house for Club Nintendo registration cards, I received my Club Nintendo gift in the mail today! Say hello to 800 coins worth of Nintendo centric glory; the limited edition Club Nintendo Hanafuda cards. What are Hanafuda cards, you ask? Translated, the name means flower cards. [...]
The One that Perpetually Gets Away…
Posted in Art of Collecting, tagged collection, konami, playstation, playstation 2, ps1, ps2, rare games, role play games, rpgs, suikoden, video games, white whale on June 1, 2011 | 8 Comments »
Every video game collector has one… one game they really want, but cannot for whatever reason get their hands on. I am not talking about Stadium Events, or a Genesis Blockbuster cart, here either. The game is often times incredibly common, but for whatever reason it constantly eludes you at every turn. Take my own [...]
Treasure!

I received an email from Club Nintendo this past week informing me that a large chunk of the “coins” (Nintendo’s point based loyalty/reward system) I had amassed were set to expire on June 30th of this year. Not wanting to miss out on a chance a reaching Platinum status (achieved by having accumulated 600 coins [...]
