LynxJagLunatic Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 After going through my Jaguar collection today I discovered that I am 10 games away from completing my retail Jag collection. Unfortunately most of these last 10 games are priced well beyond what I am willing to pay for them. Best I focus on my 7800 and Lynx collection since most games are still affordable.

+madman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That is the hardest part about full collections, those last few pricey titles. I've got a complete Lynx collection, there aren't really too many expensive ones there other than the later Telegames releases but they're still mostly reasonable. I'm getting to the point on my 7800 collection where the expensive titles are mostly what I'm missing. Same with my 32X and Virtual Boy collections, I can't see myself ever completing the VB collection unless I happen to get lucky on a few of the JP games. You can't go wrong with a Lynx library, still one of my favorite systems to play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serblander Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Curious to know which 10 you're missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogamer73 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Congratulations. Getting as far as you have is a feat in itself especially with a system like the Jag. Keep scanning auctions (Amazon typically sells Jag items at lower prices) and forums, you'll eventually be able to find the games you need for a good price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynxJagLunatic Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Serblander, I'm missing Defender 2000, Double Dragon 5, both Pinball games,Braindead 13, Fever Pitch Soccer, Attack of the mutant penguins, Iwar, Ultra Vortek and Missile Command 3d. If I include the Telegames releases then I am missing a lot more but I've only considered the before the merger releases.

+madman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Wow, I-War really jumped in price lately. You can get a new Fever Pitch Soccer for $30 from B&C, which isn't too expensive in terms of Jag prices if you're doing CIB. Braindead will probably be the hardest game to find.

LynxJagLunatic Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks I forgot about B&C I'll check them out. I've been going by Ebay and Amazon mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not too bad actually I expect DDV* to be cheap as its such a (IMHO) crappy game. Fever Pitch cheap too. I-WAR i am surprised at going up prices. UV i haven't noticed in ages so can't comment price wise.Pinnie games aren't THAT expensive considering (esp if you want to clean up the set). D2K has been hiking and hiking upwards (always lots of Minter fans, and rightfully so) so i don't think that will go down anytime soon. Then again, you can always luck out with a freshly offered BIN price from time to time (on most items). MC3D is pricier as well but as madman said, BD13 will be your white whale amongst that lot, especially if you're collecting CIB and ESPECIALLY so if you want the Long Box release. In any case, congrats on coming this far and good luck with the rest *God, whenever i use the acronym for Double Dragon V i'm always reminded of that scene from Orgazmo « DVDA Edited March 16, 2015 by Serblander 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought quite a few of those from some videogame liquidators site in the US years ago, just because I was buying masses of Lynx stuff and thought why not as they were dirt cheap. Don't think I ever even opened one up, probably still got them or most of them in the loft somewhere.

+atari2600land Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) I'm missing 10 as well Atari Karts, Breakout 2000, Defender 2000, Double Dragon, Fever Pitch Soccer, Fight For Life, Intl. Soccer, Power Drive Rally, Rayman, and Super Burnout. I just bought Wolfenstein, but it hasn't come yet. (11 if you count Air Cars!) I am also not counting the CD games, as I don't have a Jaguar CD player.) Edited March 16, 2015 by atari2600land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeoNinja Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hmmm. Not too sure how many I have left to 'get'. As a list based on personal tastes etc: Air Cars (some version of it, at some stage) Atari Karts Breakout 2000 Hyperforce Impulse X Mad Bodies (unobtainable vs how much I'm willing to pay for ANY Jag game) Total Carnage Towers II Worms I'd pretty much call it a day after grabbing these I'd like Battlesphere too, but it's just not a realistic goal for me...

LynxJagLunatic Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 The sad truth is I had about 6 of these missing games during my first run of Jaguar collecting back in 1995 then I went to the dark side and sold all my Atari stuff for a PS1. Been back into collecting Lynx and Jag since 1998. Although I loved my PS1 I've always regretted selling my Lynx, Jag and 7800. If I never acquire these last 10 games that's ok I am happy with what I've been able to get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthias Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hello You'll probably want to jump on Impulse X now while copies are still available.Who sells the cart now apart from Nick? Anyone? Anyone? ... As mentioned just some few weeks ago here in the Impulse X thread http://atariage.com/forums/topic/190003-impulse-x/?p=3198560 you can get it from me - the developer. And although there was a small hype recently, i still have some copies of the cartridge version (and of the CD version too). I know that there are reasons why people prefer to buy from a vendor, but there are also reasons why vendors don't have products in stock all the time. Happy Easter!

Rick Dangerous Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The 10ish I'm missing aren't games I care to own, and I should probably sell some of the shit titles I have as it is. Completionist collecting really is just depressing at the end of the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYAman Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I have most of the great games and my personal favorites that people don't like. Only thing I'm really missing is Battlesphere which pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I feel that my Jaguar collection is "complete". If you step away from the forums for a few months, you may miss a homebrew or self-release. I don't consider these essential, particularly if they're limited. If it seems like an interesting title and I happen to catch it, I'll pick it up. At this point, unless Songbird puts out another lost game, the next Jag title that I'm likely to spring for is Rebooteroids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I include the Telegames releases then I am missing a lot more but I've only considered the before the merger releases. Iwar is definitely worth getting, in my opinion. It's one of my favorite games on the Jaguar. Defender 2000 is also AWESOME... well worth it. Ultra Vortek is also a must-have on the Jaguar. The others, you could do without.

Felyx Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I discovered that I am 10 games away from completing my retail Jag collection. That sounds so strange to me people who speak about Jag games like Pokemons: catch them all...what for? why to buy all the existing Jag games if at then end you just spent a lot of money for games you owe nt for what they are but because they were on a list?
