My OG Xbox Collection
Hey guys. I want to catalog my game collection. Partly to converse with fellow collectors. But also partly to have this as a reference if I’m ever out hunting. Now, I’m not sure if I should do annual update posts or just frequently update this post with future pick-ups. Also, I’m using Gameye simply because it’s the tracking app I use. It’s that simple. If you think there’s a better app, let me know. Also, I’m doing alphabetically as my sort method because that’s how most people sort their games. This also will make it easy for people to look and see if I have a game.
Cool Stats and Observations
For starters, I own 71 games. I cannot find an agreed on number for how many unique physical releases there are for this consoles library. Most places say just short 1000, but Gameye itself seems to list it in the 600s.
My favorite games for the console so far have been: Otogi, Blinx The Time Sweeper, and Halo 2. That is me mostly trying to play Xbox exclusives.
Fable, Darkwatch and Star Wars Battlefront are next on the to get list.
My most expensive game according to Gameye is Silent Hill 4: The Room at $52.
I am currently playing Onimusha. While Onimusha is not exclusive to the Xbox, Genma Onimusha is exclusive.
As far as what games I want to play next that I own, I would like to play Morrowind for a solo player game, and Gauntlet Dark Legacy with my wife.
So how is your Xbox collection coming? Let me know! Thank you reading and have a great day!
Don’t Throw Away Your Loose Discs!
Hey everybody.
I only owned a few Gamecube games back in the day. I actually managed to keep almost all of them. Though, I didn’t keep my cases. Unfortunately, that means most of them are just scratched up and don’t work.
Two that always stood out to me were the Legend of Zelda games – Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Again, they just didn’t work anymore. But I never threw them away.
I was talking to someone on Reddit who mentioned trying to get them resurfaced. Most people don’t like resurfacing Gamecube disc due to how it stores data. But the way I see it, if the Gamecube isn’t reading them at all, what is there to lose?
With that in mind. I took them to my local shop and got them both resurfaced.
Let there be life! Yes, my childhood games were brought back to life. So it goes to show, don’t throw away your disc.
Has this ever happened to you guys? Have you ever played a game so much it didn’t hold up? And were you able to clean it up? Let me know down below?
Thank you for reading and have a great day!
