The Collector's Quest

An episode where we discuss common game collecting topics in general without much focus similar to CQ After Dark. Johnny wanted to call this "Tyler Talk" but I think everyone would skip an episode named Tyler Talk.

We're talking the KEY horror and Halloween games from the early days, from interesting survival horror games, to stupid the stupid obscure first appearances of Frankenstein...'s monster.

We are discussing Johnny's objective* system for separating Halloween games from horror from dark fantasy to determine the official subset of NES Halloween games.

There are a handful of Stephen King games from proto-ebooks to the official Worst Adventure Game Ever Made. They're probably from his books you haven't read for some reason.

We're talking about games you can devote years to without ever becoming the best, which is largely esports games but also chess and mahjong?

We are clicking the drop down menu and selecting Sort By Highest Price and looking at recent sealed market and Ebay sales and discussing what's on top right now.

(Reupload to fix the last 4 minutes). We're talking about budget labels like Players Choice, Greatest Hits, and Platinum Hits, which ones we find interesting, which ones are expensive, and whether any of this junk is really worth collecting.

The last 4 minutes of this episode were cut off. I'm keeping this up for a bit in case you're in the middle of the show.

A long episode about collecting a beloved, okay video game console.

It's CQ Shark Week. That time of year we talk about the electromechanical gun game from Jaws that once sold for $15,000 and Shark! Shark! on Intellivision which once sold for as high as $15.
