For the 1 year anniversary of Retro Video Gaming my fellow retro game collector Stopxwhispering hosted a very fun contest.
“In celebration of Retro-Video-Gaming’s anniversary I will have a little contest! The contest will be up for 1 week and there will be a winner who will get a secret prize! 😀
The question that needs to be answered is:
How many Famicom Disk System games do I have?“
Click here for Retro Video Gaming’s 1 Year Anni Post.
My response was this:
“OK, I’m ready. My guess is 44! Yeah, that’s right. I’m sure I nailed it 🙂
I know I’m very happy that you’ve spent so much time posting and blogging about your collection. Happy 1st Anni!”
From the other guesses I saw posted I don’t think anyone else thought to browse through Stopxwhispering’s collection pictures. I started browsing collection photos until I found the Famicon Game Diskettes. I wasn’t really sure those games to the right of Pac-Man and the Ghosts were Famicom Disks but they looks about the right size.
But… I was right! And even though they were very hard to count I nailed it! Just like I said… Almost, I was off by one. At the time of the contest Stopxwhispering had 45 Famicom Disk games.
*If you haven’t seen Stopxwhispering’s collection you really should have a look. Both the collection and the Gaming Room are amazing.
And my prize? Check it out 🙂 A custom gift for TheSegaDude.
Sonic and cupcakes! A very fun start. I was of course very curious to get into it. It didn’t take long to find actual unwrapping instructions. The fascination was increasing.
Found this at the front door.
Look up?!
Things were getting more serious now. I was sure I had found my entry point! And if gift wrapping and a sealed box were not enough intrigue; I found a very cool Retro symbol that nicely reinforced the mystery 🙂
Getting there…
What’s inside?
Look at that. There’s a lot of stuff in there. A lot of very cool Sega goodness. I love this bead art and it’s going into my collection. And that copy of Tiny Toon Adventures is the first PAL Mega Drive game I have ever had. So that is also very fun. I tried this PAL game on my Sega Genesis and it would not load. It got as far as the Konami logo and then nothing; it just froze. But with my Super Key it plays perfectly 🙂
Look at all the lute!
SEGA! Right on!
I’m not yet 100% sure where I’ll place the Bead Art but I wanted to see what they look like in the collection right away. Below is a fun screen shot showing off my new stuff. Of course everyone loves Sonic! But Stopxwhispering figured out that Fantasy Zone and Opa Opa is a HUGE favorite of mine. I always found the Fantasy Zone games hard but I do love Opa Opa.
The Sega Collection with Stopxwhispering Prizes 🙂
Happy 1st anniversary Retro Video Gaming! And thank you very much Stopxwhispering for this really awesome prize!!

Thanks KeiDash! 🙂
I’m really liking how the bead art adds a little flare to the games.
What games are you into? Do you have a collection yourself?

Heh. I actually knew the answer from poking around the site, but I figured I’d be a reverse ringer and let someone else win because shipping stuff to the US isn’t inexpensive from overseas. That and I’m SO out of room for new stuff, lol! Well, it’s a good thing you won, as the goodies went to someone who deserves them!

LOL! geelw, are you trying to steal my thunder? 😛
If stopxwhispering runs another little contest you have to participate. There is no doubt in my mind that you’re a very worthy and solid gamer!
I think you need to chuck out your dinning room set and setup your collection 😀

Wellllll… I already moved the PS3 stuff into the living room from the home office, so perhaps the dining table WILL get the boot at some point. But I have to have somewhere for people to eat, though. Camping on the carpet isn’t for everyone, that’s for sure…

I know, I know 🙂 It’s easier said than done. When I moved to my current home it was the first time I had a basement and it was very exciting being able to setup! I recently started get back into my PS3. There are some seriously good games for that system! I’ve started playing Heavy Rain again and I just started playing Journey.
What are some of your favorite PS3 exclusive games?
