Thanks for the welcomes

Ive only a handfull of games at the moment say around 10 ive just been picking stuff up i had first time around and games i always wanted but never got

Just a quick question for you both which is the hardest lightgun boxset to find? And what sort of prices should i be looking to pay? Ive seen plenty of Time Crisis sets on ebay but im guessing the others are quite hard to get hold of.

Thanks Again

Mark

Yes, Maximum Force (a French exclusive) is the rarest of them all. Defcon still wouldn't have one when “that Austrian” wouldn't have been that nice and won one for him

Hi all,

Nice site . I'm Stewart, 28, UK. Mainly a Sega collector ATM, but i've nearly finished my PAL Megadrive set and am looking for a bigger challenge as i can't see the Saturn and Dreamcast sets taking me too long. I'm currently researching the PS1/2 to decide whether or not i want to turn the piles of games i have for both into full set collections. No offence, i'm a big fan of both consoles, but both seem to have there fair share of really crap games, so i might need a bit of convincing to go for a full set. Does anyone have an interest in console box variations?

I can only agree with AtariBuff on the amount of pants games the PS2 has got compared to the PS1. There were some real turkeys released for the PS2 in the last couple of years.

And as for console box variantions, I have a few already in the hardware section, and endeavour to collect as many PS1 variants as I can.

Finally welcome to the forums.

Hi Family Fry,

great that you finally arrived in PlayStation 1 PAL collectors heaven (or hell if you ask the Defcon guy ). Feel free to stumble and search around and just ask if we can be of help.

A PS1 at launch - cool, so you surely have all those rare games like Hebereke's Popoitto and Street Fighter: The Movie in mint condition sitting on your shelves.

Do you remember limited editions being sold in the first few years?

That FMV Resident Evil demo CD should interest the Defcon guy, I think. Hebereke's Popoitto eluded pretty many buyers at launch time - it's one of the most sought after PAL releases. Funnily, also 'that' Street Fighter game with Van Damme (ugh) is pretty rare.

Anyway, welcome on board - show us all the stuff you have in your collection and have a great time here

Hello,

I'm not really new here, but wasn't here in a long time, so I thought I will write in here to say that I'm (sort of) back.

I wonder what's new with you guys. Would like to hear from you.

Our German PS1Freaks project seems to be dead (can't contact Schmidi, he isn't answering anymore ). So I wonder what happens with my mags I sent to Atari Buff, will they ever see a digital live?

On my site, I will move out soon, so money is (even more) rare and I won't buy any “new” games anytime soon.  But I have alot to play in the future though. My newest stuff is a Wii with Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Play.

Hope we will have a good time in here.

Hello everyone

I have been collecting ps1 games for the last 10 years or so but only within the last 18 months have I started to do my collection in a big way.

I currently have about 400 or so ps1 games but Im always looking to collect something that will make my collection so much better.

Please have a look at my ps1 collection as It would be great to hear from

like minded  people.

Hi there, welcome to the site.

Thats a mighty nice collection you got started there, looks like all of them are in pretty good nick. Only about 1000 more to go

Don't worry, it gets harder as you go on.

Cheers

Defcon

Thanks !!

That’s great

Yes, the games are mostly in good to very good condition I try to buy the best condition games that I can find.

That’s quiet a tall challenge especially at car boot sales as you know already finding an unmarked complete game with no scratches on the disc and the book and cover intact is the holly grail at car boot sales.

Anyway at least half the games are good to mint.

What’s the lowest standard of condition that you will allow in your collection ?

I have other games that I keep in a “dead pack” that means if the discs are mint they will not be counted in the collection until for instance a book or cover in good condition turns up at a boot sale.

I have a short hand list of about 10 games in this category at any one time.

Likewise there are games like psychic force and soul blade 2 that show up quiet often that are complete but are always turn up in poor condition Ive yet to find a decent example of either game (without scratches and without spending a pot of money)to put in my to collection.

Why do kids have to use the discs as coasters or Frisbees before you get them.

Anyway thanks for letting me join I also have a collection of ps2 games but the ps1 is much better by my standards for collecting games after all the graphics are superb and the only main reason for having this growing collection is that the 60gb PS3 does such a super job of up scaling the graphics.

I hardy look at ps3 games at the moment but one day in the not to distant future we will might be buying games ps3 games at a pound each just like we do now right ?
