I don't but I seem to be gathering several and I do find myself surfing eBay on the lookout for mint ones! hehe
I did recently re-buy an N64 (I wish I'd never sold mine! frown) that was boxed as new. Top work! thumbup

I've got a Megadrive with a 32X and too many games.

Also have two Acorn Electrons with shed loads of games.

I'm not collecting them. I just can't be bothered to deal with ebay cretins.

I used to, I still have a loft full.I have quite a lot of what you have listed and various other things too including some hand-held tomy type games etc, colecovision bits and bobs, intellivision, early spectrum stuff (one unbuilt in kit form), various old and edition one magazines etc etc.I too had a boxed up wild card, I had one for the SNES and megadrive.The N64 BUNG is still up there somewhere but I sold the others years ago.
I decided I was going to sell it all last year as it happens, but got as far as selling two fully boxed Vectrex systems and then stopped.

I think my two most rare or interesting items are a boxed Nintendo Game 6 (effectively their first console) and an issue 1, unread C+VG (computer and video games) magazine, still with free gift attached.It was sealed in a bag and kept for 20+ years by a collector.I also have a keyboard for the atari VCS, multi cart selector for the VCS, wireless joysticks for the VCS and a bike game with handlebars for it too, all are boxed.

I used to, ended up selling most of them as they were taking up too much room. Still got my Commodore 128 & CBS Colecovision as they're awesome. I went through a stage of collecting those tabletop/handheld games from Grandstand, CGL, Tomy & Nintendo, games like Astro Wars, Munchman etc, still have dozens of those in the loft.

Neo Geos were great for their time! I have two Neo Geo CD's but never did get the cart version.I also ended up with 3 variations of 3DO's! Still got a couple of CD32's, one is boxed, one isn't, they bring back happy memories for me, well, about two weeks worth because they didn't have a long life exactly biggrin

Yeah there are some ultra rare ones I believe, there is also a 'holy grail' gold NES game from the 1990's and last year it sold along with some other games for $21,400 : o

I collect them and have about 35 - 40 mostly mint and boxed, though my preference is more for the older home computers going back to the ZX80.

Not got "Rubble Trouble" have you..? I used to love that game. smile

There was also a platformer I loved when I was a kid... think it was set in a mine... only real memory of it is cheesy music, and it being a PITA to load... hehe
