Hey everyone! Yesterday my brother got a package in the mail Athletic World - Rerelase Brand New Sealed (H-Seam) he won on the bay for $25.00. Yesterday morning we went back to an indoor garage sale hoping to find some retro games but sadly she didn't have any out like she said she would...but we did pick up Glover for $0.75 and Pac-Man Puzzle Board Game for $2.00. Then we took a drive to a neighboring town to actually head home but we saw a thrit store on the way so we stopped in. I looked around in the VHS tapes just to see if there is any video game related tapes and well I found one Pokemon Headquarters tape which was given away exclusively at Toys R Us, then I went over to the glass case and saw some games in there then I called my brother over and asked him which ones I should buy. SO I purchased the ones we really needed (by far the best stuff they actually had there) I got Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil (CIB) $4.00, Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix (CIB) $6.00, and the VHS tape was a $1.00. Then we drove to Half Price Books becasue occassionally they get some really good games (they had Final Fantasy VIII import soundtrack for $50.00 A little to expensive for my taste) and we picked up LucasArts Air COmbat Classics (CIB) $10.00 (My brother got that), I purchased Quake iI Strategy Guide - $2.00, and Prince of Persia Graphic Novel Vol. 1 - $2.00. THEN we went to Goodwill and they had a ton of PC game we purchased 7th Guest (Win 95 CD Version) - $6.00, Deus Ex - $6.00, Homeworld - $8.00, Lighthouse: The Dark Being - $8.00, Shivers - $8.00 and Shivers II: Harvest of Souls - $8.00 ALL are CIB, Duke Nukem 3D - $2.00 and Casper Greatest Hits (PS1) for $2.00. Then we went an Indoor Flea Market and a store attached to it. At the Flea Market Pocahontas Genesis (CB) $2.00 (Anyone have a manual I can purchase???) , then we went to the store attached to there and purchased Police Quest Collection for $5.00 and Return to Zork - $5.00. Well that was out adventure yesterday nothing seriuously rare but a good haul none the less. Hope you all enjoy! (Sorry about the HPB picture flash over took).
First thing I would like to say THANK YOU to Jonebone & Videogamedomain. Jonebone thank you very much for the Ducktales 2 box it is perfect (well for me) and Videogamedomain thank you for the Mega Man 5 Manual (very Good condtion) and Pugsley's Manual. You two guys are great to work with and hope we can work together again someday. So to everyone else if they come to you with something buy it from them they are great. SO now on to the other purchases. I traded a copy of LOZ: Ocaraina of Time Bonus DISC since I had two for Ultima IX Dragon Edition(sorry no pictures for that) with my co-worker. My brother purchased some guides off eBay, mostly Duke Nukem Games and some Game Boy, GBC & GBA manuals, and Paperboy Complete in BOX (no picture sorry). My brother also went on Shop Goodwill and won and Intellvision 2 with games in their boxes mostly. We also purchased from a guy off another game site a Famicom 76 in 1 and a Pirate Mortal Kombat for Super Famicom. My brother went up to another city and went to an indoor Flea Market and purchased Advanced D&D Birthright on PC complete in box. Also on the bay my brother purchased Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island Guide. We also picked up in another city Orgeon Trail 4th Edition and Where in the USA? both from 2000 on PC. I know not much Nintendo stuff but still great purchases. So here are some pictures let me know what you think.
Hey everyone. Been a while since I have done a blog so I thought I'd just start a community type blog. I was looking at my collection trying to figure out what is the most impressive part of it well I decided since my brother and I have been getting so many Boxed NES games these days I would say that is our MOST impressive part of our collection. I mean we have some pretty rare titles or aka highly sought after titles. Like:
*Die Hard
*Rainbow Island
*Bomberman II
*Jetson's
Among a few others these are just a few I can name off the top of my head. Most of our games are CIB which makes this part of our collection extra special! So the second most impressive would be our Collector's Edition's (See back dated blogs on my blog page), then probably our GB/GBC/GBA games, then N64 (Clearly we have a theme), SNES, and then PS1 and so on and so forth. BUT TELL ME ABOUT YOURS! What is your favorite part of you collection!?!?!?! Also if you want to see pictures I would be more than happy to post some on here once I take some of our NES collection.
Hey everyone! Going to keep this short but sweet. Today I decided I wanted to buy some more games especially NES games in their boxes! My brother and I decided we really need the Mega Man's complete in box on NES to complete our Capcom NES collection. ALSO if anyone has an extra Mega Man 5 manual I would be willing to buy or trade for it, and I need a Complete Mega Man 1 & 6, so if anyone could help out that would be great. But today I went to what I am going to call my NES heaven store and purchased Gun.Smoke CIB, T&C Surf Designs CIB. Then I went to it's sister store and purchased Mega Man 2, 3, & 5 CIB. Then I went to CD Tradepost and purchased Mario Is Missing on NES Cart only, and Diablo in minty condition for PS1. My brother purchased a couple of Super Famicom games on eBay Monopoly and Sim City CIB. Today I purchased on eBay for $40.00 Mega Man 4 CIB. So anyways hope you all enjoyed this blog!!!
Here are the pictures and please comment!
Hello Fellow Gamers! My brother and I did a little more shopping today at a couple of our favorite stores. IF you haven't read the previous blogs please do so! We bought probably our last bulk lot of NES games for a while. Most of these titles are hard to come buy especially complete in the box such as DIE HARD & Metal Storm! We have spent quite a bit of money accomplishing something we are excited to have a good quality and quantity of NES games in their boxes. Sorry none of these are for trade or for sale. We might be getting rid of some loose games and maybe some games we have duplicates in their boxes. But anyways we went to a Comic store which sells a ton of video games and then we went to Goodwill's GoodBytes. We also went to Nebraska Furniture Mart so I could buy a bundle PS Vista! Now my brother and I both have one! And I also purchased a couple of games Army Corps From Hell & Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus. My brother purchased the system and a couple of games on the day it came out he bought the same bundle pack and the games he purchased were Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 & of course Uncharted: Golden Abyss. This month has been great and this lot of games is a good way to end the month. Especially with the boxed NES Games Die Hard, Mighty Final Fight, Metal Storm, Barbie (yes I said Barbie), Pac-Mania and a few others. Another side note my brother bought Star Wars on NES complete in box in an earlier blog from eBay and today he surprised me with the sequel Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back on NES complete in box! Also purchased from eBay. So hope you all enjoyed and here are the pictures please comment!
Also the Game Genie is Brand New Sealed.

KEEP IT REAL ON CHANNEL 3!
When you were young did your parents ever just throw away your video game systems and game boxes?? The proverbial saying "Yeah, my mom threw out my baseball cards when I moved out of the house." Well that saying just doesn't go with baseball cards but VIDEO GAME STUFF AS WELL!!! My parents had collected Atari before I was even born they threw away all of their boxes but a half of one that they used to hold the manuals in Frogger. My parents also gave away a lot of stuff too like the Timex Computer which was used to play video games kind of like a dinosaur of handheld video games. As late as the year 2002 my parents threw away video game boxes particularly my Mother! who deemed that since they were just cardboard they were worth NOTHING! Well MOM your WRONG! Haha Video games are worth way more complete and above all else its just sentimental to say wow! I have a complete in box EARTHBOUND in mint condition like new! (Sadly I don't at this time)
Parents from the Atari age just don't understand that video games are of value especially games from there era!!! Sorry for some of you that are on here and are Atari area (but I was born in 1983 so I am still part of that era). My father worked for a place called Lionel Playworld (I so wish he still did, I really need a time machine to stop myself as a kid and my parents). I bet everyone that had parents like mine wishes they had a time machine to go back and give yourself at a young age and your parents a smack in the back of the head! I know some collector's out there they parents did keep everything! But for us collectors who didn't we are picking the slack up now finding anything we can in the box (except for the occasional collector who doesn't care about the boxes-SHAME ON YOU!).
But ANY THOUGHTS?? Let's talk and just relieve the horrible memories and relax and then think about how things have gotten better since!
ALSO SHAME ON PARENTS THAT THROW AWAY STUFF STILL TODAY!!!
Hello Fellow Gamers! This is the second edition with updated photos of my brothers and mine collector's editions. We have of course acquired quite a few more since our last post. My brother and I have a huge interest in collecting collector or limited editions of all sorts of games. Most of our collector and limited editions REMAINED SEALED!! I know some of you are probably asking why buy them and not open them?? Well as a hardcore collector we collect anything and everything video game related with all video game collector's ultimate goals to own EVERYTHING! but that will never happen of course because there is so much out there and you need unlimited money to get it (I wish life had a Game Genie). We are just very into collecting these games because who knows at some point they could be valuable and we will be like WOW we have that. FOR EXAMPLE - we have the Fallout 3 Amazon Survival Edition it is out of print and one sold on eBay a while back for nearly $1,000. And guess what ours is SEALED! Some of my favorite collector's editions are Uncharted 3 (see other blog for that), Skyrim, Ace Combat 6, Fallout 3 - Lunchbox Edition, Records of Agrest War The first Release - The Naughty Edition, Halo Reach Legendary (SEALED) and the Hardened Edition (that one is opened for pleasure).
Collecting collector or limited editions is kind of a hobby on it's own. Where did it begin well I think they started back with Sega Genesis (who knows maybe further). On the Genesis the only game I have pictured and have three of but just the best one is pictured is John Madden Football Championship Edition. Then more modern you go to N64 with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Collector's Edition which in traditional Nintendo from the NES Days is a Gold cart while the original release is a gray cart, which is the opposite of the NES. Special editions are a great addition to anyone's collection. I know some just don't care about collector's editions and some just collect games out of the box (traditionally for older games) too each is own. Special editions yes for one cost more but they just look so much better in your collection and two they just plain ROCK!

Hey everyone. My brother and I did a little shopping last week and a week before he bought a nice package off of eBay from Japan. My brother and I ended up going to Lincoln, Nebraska last Thursday and spent a few dollars and got quite a few great things. This is probably the best Game Hunt we have had in a long time. First stop was Salvation Army on the way to Gamers my brother bought a PC game The Ancient Art of War At Sea complete in box for $2.00. Second stop Gamers number 1 in Lincoln. I purchased a complete SEARS Video Arcade (Intellivision). The box and everything is in great shape! Paid $65.00 for it and it was a great purchase. Along with the Intellivision. Also I bought Quake 2 complete in Box for N64 not shown in picture. I also bought a couple of strategy guides not shown in the pictures Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Rouge Spear and Fear Effect 1. My brother purchased another item not pictured (sorry some items aren't going to be pictured they weren't around the table until after I took the shots, but if you want proof I can provide pictures LOL) he bought Persona 2 Collector's Edition for the PSP and Space Jam on Sega Saturn. Then we were off to Best Buy and my brother got Bioshock 2 Collector's Edition for PC! Then we went to Games 2 in Lincoln. I bought a semi-rare PS1 game in Mint Condition Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! (Yes I bought the other PS1 Castelvania Game but will get to that later). I also bought Ace Combat 6 Strategy Guide for Xbox 360. My brother bought Star Ocean for PS1 and Deus Ex Human Revolution Strategy Guide. Then we went to a place called the Gameroom in Downtown Lincoln, he bought Railroad Tycoon Deluxe for $8.00 and not even used. Then we found out they had a second store so we went there and it was a good day for strategy guides. I bought Romancing Saga, Tales of Vesperia, Donkey Kong 64 (with EB Games Cover), and Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb. Then on the way out of town we went to a good Antique Store we bought only a couple of things my brother bought the Pac-Man card game from Milton Bradley in mind condition Copyright year 1980 and I bought the Nintendo Power for $3.00. So that was the adventures in Lincoln. Then on our way home we stopped at CD Tradepost in Council Bluffs, I bought Three Stooges complete in Box for NES, and had Eternal Darkness for GameCube shipped from another store.
The next day we went around a few places in Omaha. First place we went to was Barnes & Nobles I bought the two Sonic the Hedgehog Anniversary Comics, I need part one still. Then we went to Gamers I bought the SECOND Castelvania game Castelvania Chronicles for $38.00, the ColecoVision Roller Ball Controller ($5.00), World Series Baseball 2 Sega Saturn ($4.00) and two ColecoVision Games Slither ($2.00) and Time Pilot ($2.00). Then next up was another Strategy Guide find at Half Price Books I bought Silent Hill 1 BradyGames for $7.00, Fear Effect 2 ($3.00), and Gears of War 1 ($2.00). My brother bought SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4 Guides (The SimCity 3000 Guide is HUGE!) Then we went to Best Buy I bought Suikoden III Previously Viewed but returned it because I already have it, bought Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Game & Guide. Then we went on to the second Gamers by Best Buy, jackpot! Bought Super Mario Bros. 2, Narc, Ice Hockey, Karate Champ, and Commando CHEAP GAMES! Well Super Mario was $13.00 but worth it. All games were complete, and I got the NES Controllers Complete in Box for Free, and I purchased Eternal Darkness strategy guide. Then my brother and I went to Nebraska Furniture Mart and he bought Catherine: Collector's Edition. Then we went to a place called TUVA and I purchased Sonic The Hedgehog trading cards not opened for $5.00. Then we stopped at Best Buy on the way home and my brother purchased Epic Mickey Collector's Edition 50% OFF. Today at Best Buy my brother purchased Rage Anarchy Edition and Strategy Guide and I purchased Ace Combat Joint Assault for 50% OFF.
The other day my brother purchased a bunch of Famicom Games from Japan. The jewel of them all MOTHER! This game is Earthbound in the USA but having this copy on the Famicom in your collection is a must for any collector. The other games were Kanshaku Tamanage Kantarō no Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi (yes very very long title), Super Xevious (Gold Cartridge), Family Mahjong 2, Battle Fleet (Those Namco Games for Famicom came in sweet cases), another copy of Ultima - Seija heno Michi, another copy of Tetris, Wrecking Crew, Marusa no Onna, Momotarou Densetsu: Peach Boy Legend.

Another item that my brother has purchased is this mint condition guide of Legend of Zelda: Tips and Tactics. This guide is pretty rare and he bought it off eBay off a girl who didn't have a clue what she was selling. One guy is selling this guide on eBay right now for $75.00 BUY IT NOW price. This guide is complete even with the map/legend included. This guide is full of amazing pictures to help anyone who loves this game with the tools needed to complete this game (well me I just used the Game Genie). This guide is a great addition to our strategy guide collection and big add to our collection of Zelda items.

Hey there everyone! My brother and I went to Gamers here in Omaha last week and bought a bunch of Intellivision Games! Yeah I know not a huge library of games & it was in not even comparable to Atari 2600 or ColecoVision at it's time of arrival. We own a bunch of games out of their boxes but yet this tops the cake, a bunch of games in their boxes. Some of these games we bought are quite rare like USCF Chess, Scooby-Doo's Maze and Q*Bert (yes its kind of rare according to digitpress. We also bought the IntelliVoice for only $6.95 its not pictured but we bought it along with quite a few games in their boxes all at $0.95 a piece!!!!
Well hope you all enjoy the pictures if you have any questions or want to chat about video game collections hit me up!

Hey Everyone! Two Blogs Today. First one of the new Nick and Steve's Game Hunt eBay Series. Today I am showing you the great value of the SIMPSONS! I mean who doesn't love them. Well my brother does a lot. He has everything Simpsons. This would have to be one of the best items he has bought not just for the Simpsons but for our Video Game Collection.
He bought Bartman Meets Radioactive Man on the NES BRAND NEW!!!! For $45.00 you think that's a lot? Well no it isn't when some are selling this difficult game to find for over $160.00 new! This guy he bought it from on eBay lost a lot of good games in bids that were new and factory sealed. My opinion you want money from eBay do BUY IT NOW instead of bidding.
Well here it is Factory Sealed Brand New Great Addition to Our Collection

Here is the second of the eBay series tonight. I think I might of mentioned about my brother and I buying a lot of Sega 32x Games on eBay the other day. But maybe not. Well as I was on eBay about a week ago I saw this lot of games and what was on top probably the second most expensive game on the Sega 32x WORLD SERIES STARRING DEION SANDERS!!!! This game retails just cart in range from $40 to $60 i have seen and cart and manual for $70 and higher. Well we got this game and 4 others for $80.00!!! World Series is in excellent condition easily worth over $100.00. This game was very underrated and limited released when it came out to do the untimely death of the Sega 32x. A great system but bulky. The other games COMPLETE in box are Mortal Kombat II, Metal Head, Star Wars Arcade and NFL Quarterback Club. My brother and I are only missing a few of the 32x Cart games and CD Games like Night Trap. Well here are the picture any questions just ask!

ENJOY!
Well everyone here is the third and final post for the day, MAYBE!!! I am working on a few little things in my collection and if I see something I might post about I will lol. Anyways, my brother bought Final Fantasy XI Complete With Hard Drive for the PS2. Now if only I can get my hands on a Network Adapter. This is a pretty cool item it comes with the game WHICH IS NEW SEALED!!! Everything is in mint condition. He bought it for $16.50 and that is a steal ha!! I've seen some sellers sell this for more. This game unfortunately is a paid subscription but being a big fan of RPG's we had to have it. We are also going to be buying the Special Edition of Final Fantasy 14 eventually, even though we won't play because I don't like paying monthly to play games. But another nice addition to the collection. Final Fantasy XI is a game that is still being played very much today online. My friend has played under many different characters with many different jobs. He has MAXED out all is characters and still has many of the side quests to do in all the many different territories and game expansions. Well here is the pictures hope you enjoy.
