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

Top 5 favorites?
It’s hard to choose. The Zelda games and Super Mario 64 are just classics but there are a lot of good ones.
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.
NO ITS NOT :(
You just made it worse ☹️
Wanna feel even older? the N64 launch date is almost as close to the moon landing date as it is to today… less than a year in difference
Surprised you can see all the cartridges, thought some would be in fog from that distance.
Is that a mostly complete collection? What percentage would you say?
I would say around 65% or so. I’ve got a long way to go.
That’s an incredible accomplishment.
What’s the most you’ve spent on a single game?
The most I have paid for a game so far is $80 and this is my Not for Resale Majora’s Mask
No original cardboard sleeves? That is very upsetting
I collect cartridges just because CIB is way more money. I do have the boxes and manuals for about 20 games or so on storage somewhere.
Yeah, most definitely are, I have about 20 of my old N64 games but as a dumb kid I threw the boxes and manuals away for taking up space, makes me feel sick now. I’ve looked at reproduction boxes but they’re not the same and also still £10-£20 a go.
2 questions:
- Why did those games at the bottom not deserve a clear plastic case?
- What are your favourite games that are not the usual suspects?
Those are just duplicates, they will probably get sold eventually. A really fun game that I like is Space Station Silicon Valley. Fun fact, there is a bug in the game that makes it where you can’t pick up a specific item so you can’t 100% the game. I believe that there were carts released with a fix but it’s not really talked about so I’m not sure. Anyway, there is a patch for the ROM that fixes the bug so I suggest playing that if you can if plan to 100% the game.
Beautiful collection. Whats with the empty cartridge boxes?
They are placeholders for games I may buy in the future
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?
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.
Oh! I saw this strategy in Toy Story 2!
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.
You wouldn’t happen to be coestar would you?
I don’t know who that is
A video game collector who’s name is also coe. I guess it was just a coeincidence.
Dude 😎
Do you have any plans to create roms of those games?
I don’t really need to.
I mean as in creating roms so other people can experience the games
The ROMs have been available online for a very long time
Which games don’t already have roms of them floating around on the internet?
