I just started a few months ago after watching The NES Club.
 
I'm a SNES collector. I have the console and about 50 games, all in VG/NM quality. I also have every Nintendo Power that covered the SNES, which is about 80 volumes.

I do own a NES and about 20 games, but the aren't collector quality.
 
Well I have all my original stuff. Probably 20+ games bunch of controllers and
whatnot. I've thought about picking up some others. My Contra stopped working a couple years ago. My Tecmo super bowl sometimes is a pita to get working. I played that game so much.

I sold all my Nintendo powers off about a year ago and made good money for them.
 
Not really a collector, but I have it from when I was a kid and still play it once in a while. I have 45 games and Some Nintendo powers I never got rid of. Including the first issue.

I still have this buried away somewhere too.

I wish I had kept my NES and games. I didn't own a lot of games, but the ones I had were really good such as Metroid, Kid Icarus, Zelda 1 and 2, Super Mario 1-3, Baseball Stars, Final Fantasy, Battle of Olympus, and Faxanadu. I also had the NES Advantage joystick.

Emulators just aren't the same.
 
I have a decent gaming collection. Nes in a nm box. 100 or so games, including 5/6 mega man games, dragon warrior 1 CIB, 2 in the box, and 3, final fantasy CIB, metroid, contra, super c, Zelda 1&2, bible adventures, and probably a dozen other games CIB. Both punch outs, castlevanias, double dragons. Just bought cobra triangle today for $2.99... Also have a nes max controller sealed. Two advantages, and a knock off arcade stick.

My SNES collection is probably more valuable though.

I find emulators to be the same.

I find them to be better... I don't have to scour the Internet or random game shops to pay too much for one decent game that may fail at any time since it's nearly 3 decades old... plus save states, graphical enhancements, and I can get USB controllers that are essentially the same too.
 
Nothing like taking the challenge out of a game by throwing in a save state.
 
No, but I have an NES with about 20 games, a couple of boxes, and manuals.
 
Well more Snes and N64

but I watched Pat the Nes guy on YT


and I love the AVGN and all his NES vids

So this is a quick view. I have another box buried by xbox/ps2/n64/etc stuff but this one was on top and I'm just too lazy atm to go through it. I have a few more magazines, books, and 12 more games. I have those plastic Nintendo cases for all the games as well.
 
Took some pics of a few of my fav SNES games since people are sharing;





All games are CIB. I also have a few more expensive games like Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire, FF3, Mega Man X3, etc. but they're packed away right now.

I wanted to add that for me, the box is as important as the game. I look at a lot of the games I have as pieces of art as opposed to just old games.
 
I always hated how games for Nintendo systems came in cardboard boxes instead of plastic (at least up until the GC).
