My coal whit my collection is, to have a lot of different games that I would have lots of fun still playing. And completed with box and manual .
Also to get the most important thing, to sit back and be consumed in good memories of the childhood games😊

Just started collecting in January this year. Chose the master system as it was my 1st games console as a kid. I would like to purchase and own every game released in the UK complete with box and instructions. How realistic is this goal folks ??
Started by buying a console and 12 game bundle but now have roughly 27 games.

Realised I haven't done this yet either. I'm hoping to get a European set, but some games may be US copies, I'm not bothered about this. I would just like to own each unique title. After that I'll probably pickup the US exclusives.
For now I'm on the lookout for these games that are missing:
Assault City (Light Phaser Version)
Asterix and the Great Rescue
Bank Panic [card]
Buggy Run
California Games II
Championship Hockey
Cheese Cat-Astrophe (starring Speedy Gonzales)
Daffy Duck in Hollywood
F-16 Fighter [card]
Flash, The
Ghost House [card]
Great Soccer [card]
Home Alone
Incredible Hulk, The
Masters of Combat
Mortal Kombat II
My Hero [card]
Power Strike
Power Strike II
Road Rash
Schtroumpfs Autour du Monde, Les
Schtroumpfs, Les
Sega World Tournament Golf
Simpsons, The: Bart vs. The World
Spy vs. Spy [card]
Streets of Rage II
T2: The Arcade Game
Teddy Boy [card]
Ultimate Soccer
Wonder Boy in Monster World

I got deep duck trouble for £13 in november which was a complete bargain. Ive got to the stage now where bundles are no use anymore because ive got most of the games in them. |

I have decided that collecting and gaming as a hobby should always be fun, the minute something is boring or annoying then its a chore and not a hobby anymore. So I looked at what is fun- getting bargains is fun, discovering new old games, meet ups, helping others and events were all fun too, so that's what I concentrate on. I would love to be able to get a full set, but would it fit in with everything else? I decided my everdrive would do enough. I modified my psp too so I have everything portable too. Others will not like what I chose to do but we all make different choices This was 6 years ago. I lived in a different house, it was before my health scare and career change. I still feel exactly the same, I have done the full uk card set and a decent chunk of the German ones. Concentrating on fun and meet ups was the best thing I ever did. Once lockdown eases I can get rid of my storage unit and get to the bottom of what I have, what I want to keep and where it will all be kept. |

Continue with trying to find every variation I can, for good prices. It’s really important to me not to overspend and be patient.
I see this as a never ending mission to be honest and I don’t mind that. I feel content with what I have and no rush or pressure to get more, other than the enjoyment of collecting.
Also I would like to expand on my Sega retail furniture but again at the right prices (my most expensive ever item in my collection was my Sega rotating shelving unit at £450 and it still troubles me a bit that I spent so much).

My collection goal was to get a copy of all the UK and unique games released in Europe and the US. Over time that expanded slightly and I picked up the card games and few Brazilian/Japanese releases. I even started to get into variant collecting and have most of the Kixx and Classic releases.
It was very tempting to continue down the variant rabbit hole, but I decided to knock that on the head. Simply didn't have the space and didn't want to spend more money on games I already own.
The only things I'm after today are Smurfs 2, Buggy Run, Robocop 3 and maybe Sonic Blast. In reality I doubt I'll ever pick them up the way prices have gone.
