I would have thought you would have more then 25 games. the qaulity of games far exceeds mine. I have 72, 32 are CIB and i have 1 super famicom game excite stage 94 and only one game that will refuse to work on either of my snes consoles, stunt race FX. I do watch your open cart surgery videos. I do have a super gameboy. I also have lagoon but only loose, Bahamut Lagoon is good but i play that on a emulator with a english translation

I worked on Wrestlemania the Arcade Game in the mid-90s for the Playstation. Sculptured Software was porting this to at least seven game systems all at the same time, which was the biggest port effort I had ever seen, involving around 24 team members as I recall. I helped work on a program that converted the arcade machine code to the R3000 machine code used by the first Playstation. We were doing all this while the arcade game was being finalized by Midway. During this project, I just happen to meet one of the Midway programmers on a chess server.

On the mid to late 90s, I had a weird copy of NBA Jam on SNES. The cartridge was a different shape, size and color, but the game still worked. The weird thing is that none of the codes/passwords for special characters or cheats that were listed in the magazines ever worked for my version of the game. The cartridge was a bit smaller, with round corners, a pinkish white color, and looked nothing like a typical SNES cartridge on the surface. It didn't have the typical grooves and lines on the surface, but looked more like a Famicom cartridge instead.

I'm middle-aged now so I gave up on having a game room like you see on KZfaq all the time. I think I had maybe under 20 super Nintendo games and I shipped some to a friend in Canada so he can get his complete super Nintendo in North America collection. Lagoon was one of them and it is definitely one of the best games on that system. Super nostalgic for that as well. Same thing I have a raspberry pi with every game imaginable and as much as I wanted to have a physical collection it's just not financially responsible and feasible at this point in my life

It made about $80 monthly, we owned a small collection but we rented 2 or 3 games each weekend together. Some we rented again every now and then. That was our only way to play all the ones we were interested in.

Starting at 6 years old with the 2600. Then moving on at 12 to the NES. The SNES was just the perfect final evolution of the tile and sprite game console. Even though not long after I moved on to PC gaming the SNES is my favorite classic game console. I loved RPG's and the SNES had the best ones. If I could only have one home console past or present it would be the SNES.

Nice collection! I think smaller is better, because storage for games & accessories can get out of control fast! I still have my original copy of Gradius III with the box & manual that I got for Christmas when it came out! It's so random how for some reason that box survived out of all my snes games. I also found what I'm pretty sure is my copy of The Lawnmower Man(because who the heck played that?)& Total Carnage at a local game store near where I grew up. I wish I still had my original copy of Illusion of Gaia, because that game is amazing an absolute must play! I have Lagoon too, but never got around to playing it, I'll have to give it a try soon, I always forget it's a rpg because of the label, it always makes me think it's more like Populous or something lol.

I used to keep all mine in the same drawer as him but lost them all during life's hardships. Things turned around and I started restoring my collection and then some. Spent thousands so far, especially making sure my favorites and most RPG's come CIB, plus every cartridge has a dust cover, but it is awesome to see this collection just haphazardly lumped, a few with cracks and a lot with dirt and residue and stickers. We all can use more of that chill

I had gotten an SNES for Christmas in 1995. I got Super Gouls and Ghosts, F Zero, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Lemmings, Smart Ball. Later on I got Super Mario All Stars and The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past. I did not think Super Gouls and Ghosts was not that hard. I got to the second to last stage with the goddess bracelet and could not get past the boss no matter how many times I tried. I missed out on all the JRPGs but I was ok with it. Simple times.

I didn't own a SNES as a kid, though I had childhood friends and extended family members who owned one, my cousin Rob had the most insane Super Nintendo collection I ever seen back in the day. I started collecting SNES games after I bought a clone system called the "FC Twin" (NES+SNES) about ten years ago.

I have two Sterilite containers with SNES games. Only have one shelf that I have games on and only because it saves space. All the other games I have are boxed up or packed away. I also learned my lesson trying to wipe off stickers and residue off my carts back in 2005, when I destroyed not one, but two game labels (Hagane and Power Rangers: Fighting Edition), not knowing better with what I was doing. Oh well. Now I just keep all that stuff on the cart. Honestly, I think it is a fun way to follow the journey of where the cart has been before it came to be with me.

It's refreshing to see someone that's into the collecting and the retro scene that's not a quarter of a hoarder. I adhere to collecting what's monetarily feasible and won't go beyond what I'll actually play. The price of Super Mario RPG keeps climbing but I'm currently in the process of rebuilding my childhood SNES collection (process has taken me 12 years) so I paid $20 over pricecharting and got a good condition copy. Totally worth it, have played it every night and it's taking me back. Won't buy something that will just sit on a shelf.

I sort of have a way bigger collection, but to the best of my knowledge, my younger brother has all of the physical copies of our games. I basically bequeathed them to him. He has three little kids that might some day actually find those retro gaming cool. Based on pure speculation, and between myself and two brothers, I would guess we have about 40 titles. Small change in the entire catalog. But we were kids of the SNES era. This was THE gaming platform when all of us were growing up. I think you and I are actually the same actual age, if we can discuss that. And did you say Grave's Disease....? Me too, brother!
