The Collector's Quest

(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.

It's one of those episodes where we're going to talk about the merits of the View-Master Interactive Vision, HTC Dream cell phone, and that Oregon Trail handheld thing, if those have any merits at all.

EVERY Pokemon game. The Windows computer games, the Sega Pico Beena games, the Pokemon Mini games. But yeah, mostly the mainline handheld games that people actually care about.

We're talking some specific inserts preventing your games from being 100% complete, from Zelda games to the highly collectible EA Sports Genesis games.

This is a 4 hour show where we talk about how much we like every console's boxes. That's the show. Odyssey 2's cardboard gatefold boxes up through modern trashy eco-cases. It's four hours of that. Four hours talking about whether we like boxes. Four hours.

Hey there. You're about to take a long drive. Maybe you're about to catalog some games. You need to kill the time so we're here with a long episode about a topic you didn't know you didn't want: games that came with temporary tattoo inserts.
