100+ finally!

[nester]

I finally reached 100 games in my Nintendo collection. Actually the number is 102, which is one more than my atari games. This really seems like a significant milestone to me. I have been stuck in the mid 90s for a long time and it feels good to finally get past 100.

 

Now there's only 671 to go! (I think)

[Lemmi]

congrats on hitting 100 carts

 

i was at about 70 carts, when i decided to start the nes buying

now im at 250 or so, with about 40 boxed, and most of these games came from Funcoland/gamestop, but im done collecting for the nes unless a nice rare cart pops up that i cant turn down

[Jasoco]

I'm at about 144. But 4 are duplicates, boxed of course. And if you count my licensed and unlicensed Gauntlet's as two, which I don't, then it's actually 139. But I'll say 140.. unless unlicensed don't cound at all, then... Damn.. 8 unlicensed games.. I really got only 131 licensed by Nintendo games, including the Tengen licensed games. I'd like to get to 150 just to satisfy myself.

 

Haven't really collected NES since GS dumped them, and well, EB's prices are outrageous, as well as always wrong. (I found three copies of SMB 2 once all priced with different games prices. None were actually SMB 2. One was SMB 3, one was the SMB/DH.. it was maddening! They can't get anything right!

 

So I'll have to resort to eBay for the most part.

I'm currently at 127 NES games.

 

Right now, I'm only interested in finding the rest of the games with pixellated artwork labels that I don't have.

Ditto. There are a lot of NES games I'll probably never have, but as long as I can get the Pixel ones.. even if not boxed.

[nester]

Right now I am up to 13 Pixel covers. 14 if you count the Legend of Zelda which is from the same time but without the pixels. I think there's 27 total, so I guess that's about half.

Zelda does not count. Also, there's 33 or so. Zelda wasn't even from the same time. The pixel games are from the release time, Zelda was 3 or 4 years later!

[Brad2600]

If either of you need a loose copy of Urban Champion, PM me. I happened to get a boxed version at the same time I found my loose version.

 

It's a game with the pixellated art.

My NES collection is still in its infancy, but these (the early, pixel art ones) are the games I am most interested in collecting. Does anyone have a complete list of them?

[nester]

Actually, Zelda came out before Slalom and Rad Racer! However there are 33 unless you count the Super Mario Bros./ Duck Hunt combo. I guess we were both right.

 

The list goes as follows:

 

Super Mario Bros

Clu Clu Land

Ice Climber

Kung Fu

Pinball

Donkey Kong Jr. Math

Wrecking Crew

Mach Rider

Excitebike

10 Yard Fight

Baseball

Golf

Tennis

Duck Hunt

Hogan's Alley

Wild Gunman

Gyromite

Stack-Up

Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong Jr.

Donkey Kong 3

Mario Bros.

Popeye

Balloon Fight

Urban Champion

Gumshoe

Metroid

Pro Wrestling

Soccer

Volleyball

Kid Icarus

Slalom

Rad Racer

 

I hope that helps. The list I got this from is supposedly chronological, but it's hard to tell sometimes. I hope it's not too confusing

[Jasoco]

Oh, well still. Zelda doesn't count because it's not pixellated.

 

Anyway, I guess you should count the SMB/DH game as well. So it's 34. 33 that actually came in boxes... I mean game boxes.

My fiance only has about 40ish nes games. I'm just proud I'm marrying a girl who collects classic games. She also has a collection of SNES and one atari cart (My proposal cart).

Hitting that 100 mark is so sweet. I remember #100 was Bionic Commando for me. I'm up to approx 123 with no duplicates at all (and no unlicsenced games) and just found WWF King of The Ring at lunch, so make it 124.

I'm also proud to report that all of these games are hand selected by me with no slouches as far as my tastes go. 124 quality NESgames. You won't find me picking up Dynowarz or Total Recall just to say I have 125

 

If you want to make the pixel-label hunt more interesting, try hunting for the old carts with no tabs in the front. I think the 27 number that Jasoco quoted may be right for tab-less pixel games

 

Kepone, still got that Urban Champion? I actually still need that one. Hard to find in these parts

[Zeus]

I have two tab-less NES carts. One is Hogan's Alley and I think the other is Urban Champion.

[Jasoco]

Yeah, I noticed that tabless-ness too.

 

I have 12 of them, not all are Pixellated.

 

Mine are:

3-D Worldrunner*

Baseball

Duck Hunt

Golf

Gumshoe

Gyromite

Kung Fu

Mach Rider

Popeye

Slalom*

Soccer

Wrecking Crew

 

*3-D World Runner is the only one not pixellated and Slalom is made by Rare. BTW, does that count as Pixellated? It IS pixels, but not in the same sense as the rest of the old ones. Same with Rad Racer which is also Pixels, but not the same feeling.

 

So should we only count ones made by Nintendo? How many would there be there?

 

The ones with tabs I have are:

10-Yard Fight

Excite Bike

Hogans Alley

Mario Bros.

Metroid*

Pin Ball

Rad Racer*

Super Mario Bros.

SMB/DH

Urban Championship

 

*Metroid is the other game in a silver box. As is Rad Racer which is made by Square.

[figgler]

If you are not only counting the Nintendo pixellated ones, don't forget Blaster Master. Really not too pixelated, but does show in game graphics on the label

[JB]

I have two tab-less NES carts.  One is Hogan's Alley and I think the other is Urban Champion.

Those are neat.

Cart shell looks a tad nicer, IMO.

 

But the tabs saved them a pair of screws. BEHOLD THE EVOLUTION! Or something.

[nester]

I think pixel games refer to the games published by Nintendo between 1985 and 1987 minus The Zegend of Zelda and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. I don't think the developers have anything to do with it since they were all published by nintendo with a similar type of cover art.
