Im done!

[playgeneration]

Got myself a copy of Sonic Spinball at long last, its taken me a hell of a long time to get. Which means I now have every game released in Europe, hurrah!
Then I realised how many Sonic games I have, quite a few!



I think it must be the one game series that I have the most games for, with Mario coming pretty close.

where did you get that? How much?
what's that japanese sonic game on the left?

[rupert]

congratualtions.. how long did it take? i know you had actually finished for ages apart from spinball.

how about a complete collection pic

[playgeneration]

I got it from Germany for £10, funny enough ive actually got two of them now. I had got a trade sorted for an Australian silver copy before hand, which I also have now. I doubt i'll keep both of them though, as nice as the Aussie one is.

Theres two Japanese games on the left. One of them is the special 10 year anniversary edition of Sonic Adventure 2 for Dreamcast - as well as the game you get a soundtrack CD, little history bookley, and a Sonic coin
The other Japanese game is Sonic Advance for GBA, it's all in English, I got that one because it was really cheap, and it's really difficult getting genuine copies of Euro GBA games on ebay.

How long did it take to get a Euro collection - probably about two years of recent buying. I got most of the games in under a year, but spinball took forever to get. Really though i never stopped buying sms games from when i had my first console back in 91, I picked up the odd game now and again, it was only when I discovered ebay that I decided to collect all the games i wanted, then just all of them

[rupert]

so what next....

[playgeneration]

Well sms wise im pretty much done. Ive got all the US exclusives apart from Sports Pad Football, oh and Buster Douglas - but i dont really count that as anything but a variation. Theres a couple more Brazilian exclusives im missing, but im in no rush to get them, since thier rubbish games anyway.

As for other systems, I have most of the games I want for all of them, there's the odd few games i'd still like, but im very happy with the collection I have now

Wow, well done Ive still got well over 50 games before a complete Euro set (inc Smurfs 2 and Masters of combat) so I guess its gona take me a while longer!

I have a while to go for my collection... But at the moment I am focusing more on the hardware aspect of things than the games.

[krooper13]

Ok, Ive looked twice and I still can't see it. Wheres Sonic and knuckles??

[Geishaboy]

playgeneration, it's time to accept the fact that you have an addiction




SMS rehab?

[playgeneration]

Well Sonic and Knuckles in on Sonic Jam for Saturn. I'd like to get the cartridge for Megadrive too, but getting one in excellent condition cheaply isn't all that easy, damn that card box, I think getting a Australian plastic boxed one is in order.

Nah im not addicted, well maybe a bit, but I have only bought a couple of games for myself in the last 6 months or so.

The Aus. version is in a plastic box? First I've heard of it.

A friend of mine took one of the huge EA boxes -- I'm 99% sure it was Desert Strike, cut out one of the corners and he scanned the box, cleaned it up with photoshop and then printed it out on legal paper and he had a very legit looking box. So in the end, he had the game in a plastic box and didn't have to cut up the cardboard box.

The Australian Platinum release of Sonic and Knuckles is in a plastic box thats a bit taller than the regualr boxes

[Aypok]

Congrats, dude! Nice collection of Sonic stuff, too. :)

[wonderboy]
