We're talking about "collecting spread" as Johnny says, or how many different things you collect. It's only possible to play so many games, and even only possible to know about a fraction of all the games ever made. We're discussing the benefits of specializing vs. collecting everything.
We're talking about franchises and genres that fell off, or whether they fell off. Contra is a classic that really isn't in the public consciousness anymore. Baldur's Gate was 90s nostalgia until it came back in a big way. 2D shooters used to be one of the most collectible video game genres until... they weren't.
We're talking everything we regret from starting this insane rabbit hole of a hobby instead of doing something productive with our lives to collecting Xbox. Because you know, I should've collected PS2 instead of Xbox.
We're talking what the 10 most expensive games will be two decades from now. 20 years ago people threw out games like Air Raid and Elemental Gearbolt Assassin's Case, which ended up being very wrong. So we're responding to Cheat Code Weekly and making our own predictions.
We're talking about video games... with lenticular covers and inserts. Johnny likes this stuff. Maybe you'll learn about an affordable N64 variant though!
So you want to collect PC? Well, not really. We're giving our thoughts and overview of different eras of PC collecting from 1970s Japanese computers to the underrated early 2000s small box era.
Talking about some random cheap tat that comes with games. Mostly pre-order bonuses, but also some Atari stuff to maintain Tyler's interest in cheap tat.
We're talking about Nintendo's console launches and the collectible future of different types of Switch 2 games.
We play devil's advocate and make the bear case for physical video games as a collectible category. Also a lot of discussion about whether Spider-man will be relevant in 500 years.
So you want to collect iam8bit. Wait, what? Yes.
CQ 271 - Is your "CIB" good enough? by Johnny & Tyler
CQ 270 - It's time to fix your collection: Spring Cleaning by Johnny & Tyler
Finally, an episode where we can talk about Beyond Shadowgate, the second best Bomberman game, and $700 Neutopia games no one really cares about.
Two old men enumerate why collecting modern games is generally less interesting and see if it's just a nostalgia thing or the olden days really were the golden days.
We're looking at the most expensive, rarest collectible Xbox 360 games and determining if any of this stuff is worth our time in a sea of junky collectors editions.
We're talking about the best versions of games and other collecting dilemmas. Do you get the rare variant or the early variant? American or Japanese? Busted original version vs. remake with all the DLC? Nicer condition or better variant?
We're talking about every single modern game that costs $200+ (that isn't some weird release or special edition) and coming to the conclusion that not only is collecting modern games affordable, but you don't even want the games that cost this much.
Johnny takes us on a journey of collecting the "most 1980s" games, meaning games that embody pop culture of the decade like Knight Rider, Tron, and Smurfs.
We're recapping the price trends, interest trends, big sales, and how we collected in 2024. Grab the aux cable because this is 3 hours of pure, unfiltered hobby entertainment you can subject your family to while you're driving up to grandma's for Christmas in Delaware
This is a complete re-upload to fix a Spotify issue. If your episode shows as 3:41:42, you already have the right file.
This podcast should be 3:41:42. If it’s 3:42:01, the last hour is out of sync and your app has an out of date file. As far as I know, only Spotify was affected.
I’m keeping this file up in case you have the correct file and you’re mid episode.
