Hi Guys.
So here it is finally my complete Game & watch collection all 60 / 60 Obviously loose. - All but 2 are loose I chose very early on in the collection that I wasnt prepared to pay huge amounts of money for games that had all their boxes supplied.
To me I never kept the boxes as a kid I only wanted to play the game - sure I appreciate the artwork and the time involved in collecting all these games esp if you seek to get a complete 60 of all mint boxed examples.
All of them are in great condition all except for 3 :
Helmet - Screen bleed
Lion - Screen Bleed
Mickey mouse - Minor Screen bleed.
I intend to get these 3 again in nice nick but for now its not a major concern.
I dont take anything away from those who want to do that - its just not something that I wanted to do.... finacially obviously.. but also a complete set of good examples is still rare and something to appreciate.
Since the completion of this collection, we now have nowhere to eat...... since the dining table is now my collection table!.
Many thanks to those who helped.. either with your emails... or selling my part of your collections.. ( shane in particualr )
and all the encouragement I got from you all.. Aris, Mike, Bacco, Quisix, innes, damo, steve.. My uncle Peter for introducing me to game and watch and letting me be annoying as a kid and playing them, my granmother - Crone, who bought me some of vic market all those years ago to keep me quiet and out of trouble.. My parents for being understanding as to all the boxes of games and the hours I spent stressing out over trades..
My kids, pepper, kayla and Jasper for giving me SOME free time..
Last but not least...... I have to thank the most important man above all of the others.. Gunpei Yokoi.
So - without further ado !.. I present in completion my Collection
Simple titled :
60 or Bust.
Just line em all up like a pretty little chorus line .
