Just thought I would share my N64 collection with the retro gaming community on Lemmy. Let me know if you have any questions.

As a 40-year-old I, logically, understand that the N64 is pretty old now. But at the same time I am deeply offended this is how I learned about this Retro Gaming group

I'm 36. It's going to be ok.

[–] EdibleFriend 19 points 1 year ago

NO ITS NOT :(

1/10 because Perfect Dark and Goldeneye don't have pride of place on the top shelf next to Majoras Mask. Epic fail move right there.

But also, why do you have so many identical copies of the same games? What's the point, or are they different region copies?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I had the same question. If I had to guess, I’d say they buy bundles of games often, where the bundle includes a game they already have but 4 games they also want. The price is right and the condition is good so why not? If a cart ever fails you have a backup right there. If the value goes up (likely) you can sell one of the copies down the line.

Edit: nvm, op replied here

Yeah it’s flea market strategy. If you try to buy one game, non-knowledgeable flea market seller thinks that game must be valuable, jacks the price up, puts it on display. But if you act like it’s just a box of old games, haggle them down on it like you just want some old games for your old system.

Hard to tell towards the bottom but if you've got Worms Armageddon, it goes for quite a bit these days (I'll never sell my copy though! Precious memories)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

That is not one I have. It is expensive!

Copies in good condition are rare. Seller’s market

What's the most you've spent on a single game?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The most I have paid for a game so far is $80 and this is my Not for Resale Majora's Mask

[–] executive_chicken 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn’t know that Episode I Racer had a blue cartridge 🤔

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It was a Limited Run Games release

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, those empty parts aren't going to fill themselves!

Real talk tho, very impressive. Hope you have a cool set up to play them with.

I have my childhood N64 that I've reshelled and HDMI modded.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the HDMI mod just to allow it to play on modern TVs or does it also upscale?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's the Pixel FX kit. It upscales directly from the video chip

Beautiful collection. Whats with the empty cartridge boxes?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They are placeholders for games I may buy in the future

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anything missing from the collection or is it complete?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've got a long way to go. I have just over 100 to go.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only 100 to go is still pretty amazing. No harvest moon yet?

Still missing Mischief Makers or is it somewhere that I’m not seeing? That’s one of the best remaining games on the 64 that I’m not seeing here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't have that one yet

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wow, what a collection. Out of curiosity, do you back up the games you own in case the battery dies or something happens to the cartridges?

really awesome collection. what’s your favorite couple games to play?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Majora's Mask will always be my all time favorite.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

To rabbithole, I can't reply to you for some reason I get an error but they are variants, either gray variants of a colored cartridge or players choice.

[–] BroBot9000 4 points 1 year ago

Damn dude! Very nice

[–] Boiglenoight 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a nice collection! Just seeing that gives me so many feels.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

A lot of great memories

[–] helloharu 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was never into N64 growing up but I really have to appreciate this stunning collection.

[–] bigwag 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Vigilante 8?!? Not sure if I see it there but that was a favourite of mine. Nice collection

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

[–] skullone 3 points 1 year ago

Aw man, this made me miss my N64. I'm going to bring it back out and give it some love.
