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

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.
NO ITS NOT :(
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
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?
I had the same question. If I had to guess, I’d say they buy bundles of games often, where the bundle includes a game they already have but 4 games they also want. The price is right and the condition is good so why not? If a cart ever fails you have a backup right there. If the value goes up (likely) you can sell one of the copies down the line.
Edit: nvm, op replied here
Yeah it’s flea market strategy. If you try to buy one game, non-knowledgeable flea market seller thinks that game must be valuable, jacks the price up, puts it on display. But if you act like it’s just a box of old games, haggle them down on it like you just want some old games for your old system.
Oh! I saw this strategy in Toy Story 2!
Yeah I couldn’t reply to the post. They are variants though. My extra cartridges are on the very bottom right shelf.
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
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.
Beautiful collection. Whats with the empty cartridge boxes?
They are placeholders for games I may buy in the future
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 reshelled 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
Didn’t know that Episode I Racer had a blue cartridge 🤔
It was a Limited Run Games release
Dude 😎
😎
I was never into N64 growing up but I really have to appreciate this stunning collection.
Anything missing from the collection or is it complete?
I’ve got a long way to go. I have just over 100 to go.
really awesome collection. what’s your favorite couple games to play?
Majora’s Mask will always be my all time favorite.
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.
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.
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
That’s a nice collection! Just seeing that gives me so many feels.
A lot of great memories
