Pie chart provided by Game Collector Software Here is a short video covering the Guinness event: The loose games are mostly handheld titles (GameBoy and Game Gear titles), as well as Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Genesis, SNES, N64 and a few miscellaneous titles here and there.Ī few years ago, I supplied almost a thousand games to the International Center for the History of Electronic Games (part of the Strong Museum) and Shannon Symonds (the Acquisitions Cataloger for the ICHEG) stated that the games I sold them were 'the nicest collection of games they had ever received.' And those were duplicates that were not as nice as the copies that I held back for my personal collection. More than 99% of the CD-based games have a box and manual. Over 8,300 are complete with box and manual. There are a whopping 2600+ factory shrink-wrapped titles in the collection! As a result, the games in my collection are mostly PRISTINE!Īpproximately a quarter of the collection is NEW FACTORY SEALED! Whenever I purchased a game that did not directly come from the distributor I was able to look through all our inventory and pick out the nicest copy of a game, including grabbing the nicest box and manual. I have also operated Good Deal Games online since 1998, having thousands of games cross my path. I operated seven independent gaming stores during the nineties and have worked for another chain for the last decade.
