According to my wife too many! 116 and counting, some in better condition than others, most in excellent to near new condition. My intention is to get every pal game released or as many as I can. I plan on setting up my N64 in my games room once the kids grow up and having them on display ready to play on one of those video store display cabinets. Pretty much have all my games and consoles in the one room on multiple t.v's as one big retro games room. A man can dream.

I have this at the moment after having lived in 3 other houses where I was unable. I have two TV (1 SD, 1HD) with two tv cabinets with all my consoles hooked up, two built in wardrobes with shelving for game storage, but I have been with my girlfriend for almost 8 years and kids are not that far in the horizon, I know it will be one of the first things to go when we get there, will be a bitter sweet time of my life.

Nice emwearz! I also want a few pinball tables and arcade cabinets too, I had a Wonderboy arcade stand up cabinet but had to sell it due to moving, it was in excellent condition too and still took 20 cent pieces! Oh well, I shall ride again, once the kids have moved on. It will be a sad day when you have to put things up or as we call it, the tide gets higher, out of reach of little hands.

I would love a couple of pins, my dads best friend has a Mata Hari table, oddly enough I was there today doing some 3 player mode.

A dedicated Wonder Boy arcade would have been awesome - I would have bought that too.
The tide getting higher is an apt and funny way of putting it - best thing to do is put your stuff in a room with a high door handle lol

Yeah, Wonderboy was awesome. I loved playing it whenever I got stressed out from work, great arcade game. Sad to see it go as it was in excellent condition.
Picked up yet another cib N64 game in really good condition, Operation Winback. Looking forward to playing it as I enjoyed it years ago. Cost me $29, really happy.

Alex Kidd and Sonic 2 are pricey at $20, but the others are decent enough.

Nice scores Allsport. The Megadrive had some great games, wish I never traded mine in to fund my Snes. I would love a Dreamcast though, that will be my next console of choice after I've finished my N64 collection.......speaking of which, here are my latest catches as well as my newest Wii U game the collectors edition of Project Zero, only released in physical form in Australia.
I've updated my games collection to keep track of my ever growing N64 collection.

I did the same thing last night, Picked up Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow Collections, Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2, DMC, Ninja Gaiden 3, Ninja Gaiden Z for just under $10 posted. There were a few others I was thinking about getting just because they were cheap, but I need to conserve some cash this close to Christmas.
I also picked up two copies of Final Fantasy VIII (Both complete, one platinum, one black box) from an op shop yesterday.

JB came through for me, unfortunately alot of others got shafted. Also bought Fast Racing Neo on Wii U, about to boot it up.

Yeah, hopefully the two games that are meant to be okay still come. Shattered about my DMC being canceled.
