Was actually pricey paid £80, but everything is boxed.

Original Xbox with 2 controllers and 6 games.
Master System II with lightgun and 2 controllers box is mint inside also.
Mega Drive II again mint inside.
2 x Super Scope for SNES
5 nes games
30ish Megadrive Games
10 Master System

Some other accessories

Not to bad When you consider a decent Megadrive II boxed normally go for £30 on the bay - then around £2-3 +postage per megadrive game

Oh the other box beside the xbox is some ps2 game, which is a controller like the wii but for playing golf got it for £2.

Yeah was happy with the find, but went down looking for amigas so I can do some repairs on my own ones!

Really wish I could find my saturn and I really need to get a photo of my whole collection it's getting out of control

Plan is to build a unit in my spare room with every console hooked up to the largest CRT TV I can get my hands on with some fancy switching box haha

Not very helpful, but mine displays fine over composite, perhaps even a little dark compared to other consoles.

Do other things you plug in to the same port come out ok?

Yeah. Everything else is fine. All the other channels are perfect colours and anything else plugged into that port is perfect colour

i have 4 bin bags full of megadrive games,and i tryed to flog them but the postage is more then they are worth lol,they just dont sell on ebay.My advice would be dont collect megadrive games,and collect snes games,they are worth more and are more collectible

Cavallino · 27 Mar 2011 at 16:50

ONESHOTKILL · 27 Mar 2011 at 16:57

that is bascially the truth you make more on postage but that aint bad if you sell a lot

snes have and always do sell well.

Where do you live? Do you want to get rid of em?

My collection as it stands.

got my mario 3

It matters not how much they cost to colect or resale they have you either love them or you dont and i love my sega's!

love them so much i got two dreamcast pads boxed new and i don't even have a dreamcast yet ha. couldn't refuse them for the price though!

And this specially for playing resident evil on, id idealy like a boxed and unboxed example of each console and each of its revisions but we will see how the missus lets me get on with that

Soulja · 27 Mar 2011 at 20:40

Just been digging through my old bits, boxed saturn with boxed steering wheel, few games, boxed master system 2,dreamcast, snes...ahhh shame i've got to sell them all

Kanifee · 27 Mar 2011 at 20:44

this will cause a stir haha, is the dreamcast boxed? why do you have to sell them, its a shame!

Soulja · 27 Mar 2011 at 21:01

Just need to have a clear out, got too much crap all over that needs to go.

Kanifee · 27 Mar 2011 at 21:06

Soulja · 27 Mar 2011 at 21:08

Just opened a thread in MM which i'll be updating as i dig more stuff out

markyb · 28 Mar 2011 at 12:27

Right, finally managed to get round to taking some photos. Still adding to the collection slowly.

Located in my office, I have my old sofa bed behind for epic comfort.
TV is a mint Sony Trinitron CRT which was given to me by a mate & Hi-Fi Stand was given to my parents.

Consoles :-

Sony Playstation Slim (Silver) Boxed
N64
Game Cube, Boxed
Sega Dreamcast, quite a few boxes and a Edge magazine dedicated to the Dreamcast from 1999.
Sega Saturn
Sony Playstation (My original one from 1997)
Boxed, complete with original bags - Mega Drive MKI (Bottom) Mega Drive 2 (Right, on top next to TV) Sold my original one when I got the playstation

Had to buy another

)

Latest Addition :-

Sega Saturn MKII

Never had one all those years back, a few friends had one at school, I had a Playstation. I'm a big fan of Sega Arcades and always wanted a Saturn.
I picked it up in very good condition with Virtua Fighter, Sega Rally & Daytona USA. Just bought Alien Trilogy & Daytona USA Circuit Edition.

It's also hooked up via a Scart Lead and looks fantastic on the Sony...

On the way (Dam Ebay

)

- Saturn Light Gun
- Sega Mega Collection 1 & 2 (Used to have these when I was at school)

Saturn is RGB scart by default, so the colours should look nice. Look at picking up all the 2D classic beat em ups (X Men Children of the Atom, SF2 Alpha, etc).

What have you got plugged in using composite into the front of your TV? :eek:

Chris [BEANS] · 28 Mar 2011 at 17:34

Gun is on the way, so you NEED virtua cop

Got rid of my Saturn a while back now

Munkyman · 30 Mar 2011 at 21:58

This thread needs a bit of bumpage

My Snes and N64 collection so far

JoeBoi · 30 Mar 2011 at 22:23

Wow a tinned snes game didn't know they did them back in the day, that's pretty cool.

Like the mention of dazzling 3-D graphics on the snes box, nintendo don't use words like they used to lol.

PS nice collection bud!

Munkyman · 30 Mar 2011 at 22:44

Thanks dude

The tin is a special edition of Super Streetfighter 2, i'm not sure how many they did of those.

The graphics were dazzling back then lol, i can remember playing on my mates snes at school and being awed by the graphics
