Figured I'd finally post part of my collection, as just this week I finally completed my King of Fighters AES full set. Not the largest collection on here, but I am working on that. I've been collecting for about the last five years here and there. Sometimes I go a year without adding a game, other times I'll pick up 2-3 in a month. Just depends on my mood (collect for a ton of systems, so I spread the love out, and I'm not rich so...yeah)

King of Fighters set is all JPN except for 2002, which is US. From there (I'm sure 99% of everyone will know) but it's Fatal Fury Special / Sam Spirits 2 / Art of Fighting 2 / Blue's Journey / Alpha Mission II / The Last Blade / SvC Chaos / Garou MOTW / and Matrimelee (my favorite of the bunch...not for playability, but for soundtrack and art style. Just always loved it)

and no, none of it is for sale ;)

Very nice collection, however I find it interesting that you say you are not rich, yet collect for the most expensive system on Earth (probably), the AES.

Best regards.

You should try buying CIB snes games nowadays, makes AES look like buying Mega Drive games.

Yeah CIB SNES is rediculous lately. I collect some CIB Super Famicom, but it's exclusively loose carts for US region stuff for me. Finding 15 year old cardboard in nice condition is almost impossible without dropping hundreds of dollars...Japanese stuff is just always better maintained than US stuff...no idea why, but it just seems that way. Japanese must care for their stuff better than we Americans do

Minimalist? I love the table that you are displaying your games on. Looks like a quality table and a minimalist's dream. Oh, and nice collection of games as well :-)

You are right Kid Panda, CIB games for SNES are also very expensive, but I don't remember many (if any) examples of SNES games going over $1000, however the AES has many examples of that. Most expensive SNES games I remember are Hagane, Megaman 7, Castlevania Dracula X, Earthbound and Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, none of which go for $1000 or more AFAIK. However, if you take into consideration that the size of the SNES library is about 5 times the library of the Neo, then it may be possible that the SNES is more expensive for a full set.

Regards.
