The current state of my N64 collection - Coeus.sbs

Just thought I would share my N64 collection with the retro gaming community on Lemmy. Let me know if you have any questions.

To rabbithole, I can’t reply to you for some reason I get an error but they are variants, either gray variants of a colored cartridge or players choice.

1/10 because Perfect Dark and Goldeneye don't have pride of place on the top shelf next to Majoras Mask. Epic fail move right there.

But also, why do you have so many identical copies of the same games? What's the point, or are they different region copies?

Anything missing from the collection or is it complete?
I’ve got a long way to go. I have just over 100 to go.

Well, those empty parts aren’t going to fill themselves!

Real talk tho, very impressive. Hope you have a cool set up to play them with.

I have my childhood N64 that I’ve resgelled and HDMI modded.
Is the HDMI mod just to allow it to play on modern TVs or does it also upscale?
It’s the Pixel FX kit. It upscales directly from the video chip
Still missing Mischief Makers or is it somewhere that I’m not seeing? That’s one of the best remaining games on the 64 that I’m not seeing here.
I don’t have that one yet
As a 40-year-old I, logically, understand that the N64 is pretty old now. But at the same time I am deeply offended this is how I learned about this Retro Gaming group
I’m 36. It’s going to be ok.
You just made it worse ☹️
Wanna feel even older? the N64 launch date is almost as close to the moon landing date as it is to today… less than a year in difference

That’s a nice collection! Just seeing that gives me so many feels.
A lot of great memories
Wow, what a collection. Out of curiosity, do you back up the games you own in case the battery dies or something happens to the cartridges?
I have ROM backups of the games but I’m not really concerned about the saves.
Yeah. At that point you can just rely on save states.
how bout a nickel and a firm handshake for it?
I’ll consider it
really awesome collection. what’s your favorite couple games to play?
Majora’s Mask will always be my all time favorite.
Hard to tell towards the bottom but if you’ve got Worms Armageddon, it goes for quite a bit these days (I’ll never sell my copy though! Precious memories)
That is not one I have. It is expensive!
Why is it so expensive?
Copies in good condition are rare. Seller’s market
It came out later in the N64s life and didn’t sell well so there aren’t as many copies.
Didn’t know that Episode I Racer had a blue cartridge 🤔
It was a Limited Run Games release
Damn dude! Very nice
Beautiful collection. Whats with the empty cartridge boxes?
They are placeholders for games I may buy in the future
Aw man, this made me miss my N64. I’m going to bring it back out and give it some love.
I was never into N64 growing up but I really have to appreciate this stunning collection.
What’s the most you’ve spent on a single game?
The most I have paid for a game so far is $80 and this is my Not for Resale Majora’s Mask
Vigilante 8?!? Not sure if I see it there but that was a favourite of mine. Nice collection
I’ve got the first one but not the second. It’s a really fun game.
Jealous. N64 is the only retro console I always wanted and never managed to collect. I have NES, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, but never managed to get a n64.

That’s impressive. I was expecting a ludicrous dollar amount, but you seem to be doing it the right way. Lol

What’s your holy grail?

The holy grail would be the gray Not for Resale Majora’s Mask. It’s something I’ll never own and it’s current value is over $9000. I’d also like Sculptors Cut but it’s pushing $1000 now.
Is that a mostly complete collection? What percentage would you say?
I would say around 65% or so. I’ve got a long way to go.
That’s an incredible accomplishment.
I never knew Episode I podracer came in blue. I’ll have to find that
It’s a Limited Run Games release

2 questions:

  • Why did those games at the bottom not deserve a clear plastic case?
  • What are your favourite games that are not the usual suspects?
Those are just duplicates, they will probably get sold eventually. A really fun game that I like is Space Station Silicon Valley. Fun fact, there is a bug in the game that makes it where you can’t pick up a specific item so you can’t 100% the game. I believe that there were carts released with a fix but it’s not really talked about so I’m not sure. Anyway, there is a patch for the ROM that fixes the bug so I suggest playing that if you can if plan to 100% the game.
Do you have any plans to create roms of those games?
I don’t really need to.
I mean as in creating roms so other people can experience the games
Which games don’t already have roms of them floating around on the internet?
The ROMs have been available online for a very long time
