I just started collecting Retro Games.

Mainly am working on my Gameboy collection first and want to proceed to Nintendo, SNES, and Genesis later on.

I'm pretty much trying to get everything CIB so it's been a bit expensive but definitely fun while collecting.

Does anyone else share this hobby that's been collecting retro games for a while and has any tips or collections theyd like to share?

And I've never played anything like the Vectro, Atari 2600, pre 1985ish systems.....any recommendations or thoughts on them?

I'm trying to get around 75+ gameboy CIB games before I start on SNES which was my favorite console of all time.

This is something I consider doing if someday I find myself in the unlikely situation where I have way more money than I need :D

I have over 20 GB games, over 20 SNES games, around 15 N64 games, around 10 Game Gear games; and a lot of other more modern stuff. Not much, but I guess it's a start xD

I'm tracking a few sites in my country that sell complete/boxed games as well, and pick up some of them on a regular basis.

They ship to America in most cases, assuming you live there.

The first one is probably the most expensive ( but they have the best goods)

The second one has awesome daily updates, very often complete in box ones (CIB)

The last one is probably the smallest of the three, but usually find some nice pieces there too

If you're looking for US copies, they occasionally have some of those too.

Appreciate the help.

People have said that going to flea markets and thrift stores will surprisingly turn up some good stuff.

I went to one around my area today and it was true.

I found a couple gameboy games worth 15-20$ each for $5 together.

I also found some rarer PS2 and PC games.

kinda cool if you're into looking for that golden egg somewhere!
