"McKids": First Retro Game my Brother and I Beat Together
SmellyJelly posted a gallery image in Member's Gallery
From the album: Games and Their Stories
A huge reason why I moved away from modern gaming was to find a hobby that my brother and I could bond over. He's big into Nintendo games, so his first venture into collecting was with the NES. Our first pickups for the system were Super Mario Bros 3, and McKids. That night we cranked through McKids and had a blast doing it. I could definitely tell that after that night, my brother's interest in all periods of gaming, rather than just the 2010s, peaked. -
This is just a display of some games that I own that have some story or depth behind acquiring them. Some are rare, some are common, all have a lot of meaning to me.

Although I don't have the system anymore (Mom gave it away to a goodwill when I upgraded up to a 360), I still have the box. I remember how hyped I was getting this console for my birthday. I had it up until 2010, as I arrived kind of late to the 7th generation. I clocked in hundreds upon hundreds of hours into the system, and it never once had any issues. I don't really have the heart in me to throw it away, hopefully it's out there still kicking it! -
"Aliens Vs. Predator": A Game I've Wanted for Years
SmellyJelly posted a gallery image in Member's Gallery
From the album: Games and Their Stories
I am a younger collector, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when I say I lived my late childhood/pre-teen years on The Angry Video Game Nerd. He definitely helped me get interested in retro gaming. The Jaguar videos peaked my interest, mainly the AvP game for the jag. I coveted the game for years, and I'm happy to say that with my recent jaguar purchase, I fulfilled a small childhood wish. I played through the Predator story, and most of the Space Marine story, and let me tell you, it's just as great as I imagined it'd be back when I was 11. -

Not much story to this one, but this is easily my rarest game that I own. I got this from a Gamecube lot that my friend sold me. It came with a bunch of other uncommon/rare games, but this one definitely caught my eye. -

I grew up in the 6th generation of gaming, but my first system was my parent's PS1. I remember this being my first video game that I've ever played. I always remember having a good laugh just running into enemies and gliding from the highest points of each level. I picked this up when my retro game store had a PSX in stock. I still to this day have a blast with this game, easily my favorite collectathon game. -
Just an album where I'll display what I own :^)

The 2600 is my favorite system to collect for. From the Cartridge art, to the charm of how simple the games were, I just love the 2600 so much. Easily my favorite games are Pitfall!, Haunted House, Berzerk, and Yar's Revenge. The Halloween cartridge is just a reproduction cart.© SmellyJelly

I don't have many handheld games, but the ones that I do have I enjoy playing frequently. The lynx definitely gets the most use out of all of them.© SmellyJelly

Here's my desk with some of my more modern consoles, my computer, and one of my favorite consoles of all time, the Atari Jaguar. I've always thought it looked cool/intriguing as a kid, and I recently picked it up. Other than that I have my PS3 super slim, a red Nintendo Wii, and a Halo Edition Xbox. I do use my computer to game (mainly for GoG/Steam games, occasionally Overwatch), but I definitely am on my consoles way more often.© SmellyJelly

Here's my setup with all of my cart games and some of my consoles. From clockwise starting in the top left we have the Pikachu Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, Playstation 1, Toploader NES, Model II Genesis, and a 4-switch Atari 2600. They all get their use, and I constantly am making sure the area itself is clean/dust-free.© SmellyJelly

Consoles you wouldn't take even if given for free
SmellyJelly replied to zetastrike's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I'd realistically take any console if it was given to me for free, but if I had to choose one to decline, it'd either be a hyperscan or an xbox one. -

The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
SmellyJelly replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Found this at a local retro game store for 2 dollars. Their atari selection usually sells pretty slowly, so I don't actively prioritize it when I'm looking for purchases, but when I saw this I knew I had to snag it.
