>Sigh< Don't they look great all lined up like that? I'm sure that if I had displayed my games instead of packing them in a case I wouldn't have been tempted to sell any. Andy.

Wow, great collection! And what a nice, wide display case! I wish I had the room for that!

Wow, great collection! And what a nice, wide display case! I wish I had the room for that! Michael I was very lucky to get that cabinet. My work was moving offices and they didn't have the space for it in the new premises so they were going to give it away or throw it out. It's a great cabinet considering that they had it custom made to display their books in it. I remember the day when my brother, uncle and myself had to carry that beast up 3 flights of stairs! Blood sweat & tears - but it was worth it!

Great display, congrats ! I think I should consider making my own cabinet, with some help from a friend who's a very good handyman. He's already made a dvd rack for me, as I didn't find exactly what I was looking for. So I've made the plans, and he made it

Just updated my photos of my collection. Hopefully one day I can get the other 6 boxed games that I need to have a complete boxed series. Hopefully along the way i can also add some pocketsize variations too. For the time here is a complete loose collection.

AB, Nice pics of the collection! I like the way you have them lined up. Minimum wear occurs that way, unlike the way I do mine.... You should lay them all out like I did, and take a nice group shot! Also, it would be nice to see some close ups of your PS/NOA games. Both the PS Manhole and LB look to be in fantastic condition! Hmmmm.... I'm trying to figure out which games you still need in boxed form: Crystal Screen Balloon Fight Mickey Mouse Panorama Vermin Flagman Egg SMB Special Oh, that's it! I got them all!! Well, while I do have lots of doubles, or even triples of some games, unfortunately, I can't help you out with the ones you need, as I don't have extras of those, but, Mike does have a nice C10ish boxed Egg and MM Pano for sale right now..... We're almost in the same boat! I need 7 boxed games to be complete (boxed) and just the SMBS to be complete (loose). Here are the boxed games I need: Ball Chef DKC Judge MTJ SMBS Vermin Well done Arthur! AC

Thank you Aris, One day when I get time I'll try and lay them out and take more extensive pics of the collection. It's just that in that particular room it is very small to lay them out in there as I will have to transport them out into the main lounger and even then have to free up space in there! The LB, Manhole and MB pocketsize are all Mint conditions. All the other Pocketsize games range from a 6 to a 9. Does the multi screen donkey kong boxed - standard version look familar to you? I bought it from you! I think it was for around $29US. (will have to check my spreadsheet when i get home this evening) The game was in mint condition except for one 2cm scratch on the plate but no scuffle marks are present - totally clean. All paperwork was present too. The other downside was the condition of the box. All flaps are sturdy and present its just that it has the tear on the front which has been superglued together. There were definitely good deals along the way. You just got to be patient and the deals will pop up every once in a while. You are right with the 6 remaining items that i need. As for your ones you should be able to nail down chef and Mario Juggler as there a plenty of them out there. I'll keep my eye out for the ones that you need Arthur

Hi Bacco! Congrats to completing the 60! I must say you have one of the best displayed collections I have ever seen in here!! Is the cupboard from a store? Excellent to be able to have all games lined up like that!! It really makes me wanna go for the 60 again!! Good luck for the last boxes you need!

Thank you for your kind words. The display cabinet was custom built for the company I work for. It cost them about $5000AU to build it. They used it to display their monthly release of book titles. When we moved to new office premises they didn't want to bring it along so they were offering it to anyone who wanted which i was very happy to take it of their hands! I'm still trying to figure out how the persplex glass can slide out because at the moment to get to the games which are situated underneath the persplex glass I have to take out stuff that i have in the cabinet below, lift the backdrop cover door and situate the games in the area which is a bit tricky as your hole arm and shoulder is in the cabinet below and you only have your fingers to move the games into position. At the end of the day I can't complain. It was a freebie after all! Arthur

Aren't you glad I'm working on a database for all the games, and I'll soon be bugging you for all your serials..... ;D Free is always nice! Was there someone else you had to battle it out with to get it Arthur, or were you the only one that wanted it??? AC
