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

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.

Yeah I couldn’t reply to the post. They are variants though. My extra cartridges are on the very bottom right shelf.

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)

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.
