That logic certainly makes sense, I'm definitely missing the point of a golden age. I still think video games are a different beast than comics, and I don't necessarily agree that the most valuable items will lie in any one generation. We're already seeing instances of incredibly valuable games from the Atari era all the way up to the current generation (I could probably name a game worth $500+ from any generation). As the amount of gamers on the planet increases, demand for games from all past generations will increase to some extent. Not that it has been mentioned, but I don't think games will ever hit a point like comics have where the vast majority of books released go on to be practically worthless.

I think you're missing the point of the golden/silver/bronze ages of comic book. Not all valuable comics are in the golden age, nor are all golden age comics valuable. It's like this (these are rough estimates, I'm not a huge comic fan):
Golden Age - 25% of comics have significant value while the remainder are marginally valuable.
Silver Age - 5% of comics have significant value while the remainder are marginally valuable.
Bronze Age - 1% of comics have significant value while the remainder are marginally valuable.
Modern Age - Very few comics that go above current face price (as in, the average price of a comic today).
Each age will have its fluctuations but the idea is... if you grab a random comic from each age, there's a higher chance that one from the Golden Age will have significant value versus one from latter ages. Sure you can name a few rare games from recent generations, but I bet you're probably forgetting the countless number of worthless shovelware (like, basically 70% of the Wii and DS library).
Plus, the Golden Age wasn't the start of comics. Comics, if you take comic strips into consideration, were around at the beginning of the 20th century. But the Golden Age wasn't until the late 30s. So I'd argue that arcades/Atari era are like comic strips- both were popular enough and had moderate appeal. Then stuff like Action Comics and Superman revolutionized the comic book industry and sales exploded.
With games, it wasn't until the NES and SNES that the industry saw a rapid expansion period... just like Golden Age of comics, hence we're calling it the golden age of games. Granted, you could argue that the Atari era expanded the industry but I'm pretty sure NES era sales were significantly better. But often do you see kids these days talk about Atari games/characters vs talk of NES/SNES games/characters? The NES/SNES era is still remembered thanks to long-standing series like Mario, Zelda, Sonic, etc. whereas the Atari is basically unknown.
No, you obviously can't parallel the two things exactly... and that's not what we're saying. We're just saying that the Golden Age of games are probably in the NES/SNES era. Plus, there's one major variable today: the internet. This could drastically take things in a different diction in 10 years.

Yeah, like I said, I missed the point of a golden age but I still don't agree that video game values will echo the trends we've seen with comics. When this generation has aged as much as the 16-bit era, I can practically guarantee that the percentage of valuable games from now will meet or exceed that same percentage from then.

About time I put pics up again. I completely redid the setup since last time I posted. It's not 100% complete. There is more rearranging and adding that I need to do to the display shelf. I have all my gb, gbc, gba, and gg games cased up in do cases, I just need to find somebody who knows photoshop to make the inserts for me that cover project doesn't have. Lastly, now that I have space for them, I need to get my snes and genesis games out of storage and put them on the classic plastic shelf. I'll post updated pics once I get all that done. As of now, here we go...
Bare with me...these were taken with my iPhone...
Here is the entire game area
BadaBing!
Display shelf. All three portal guns, a TMNT animation cel, walking dead CE. On the top are my dearly departed no longer functioning consoles, along with a can of buzz soda and bottle of duff beer (they DO exist!). I also have a few Skylanders there. The N64 drawer houses my N64 games. Above that is a disc binder for my PS1 and Dreamcast games. I do still have the original cases and manuals, but they're boxed up for safe keeping and space saving.
HD tv for modern consoles. Tube tv for retro.
My collection, with the exception of SNES and Genesis which I haven't put out yet, and handhelds which I am mid coverprojecting.
Duke Nukem, Tommy, and 20th anniversary Megazord!
Sonic, Halo 4 LE, and Technika Tune LE. DJ Max Technika Tune is so far my only Vita game, but it itself had made the purchase worth it. Wonderful game.
CN pin set, original Furby, new Furby
Close up on Buzz and Duff
Cell and Alfonso Soriano (lol, what a duo):
My modest Wii U collection, and an unopened can of original Game Fuel (not in set up picture, late add):
Wii:
PS2:
PS3:
3DS, and the NES games I've brought out. Still have more to put up.
My small PSP collection. It's damn time I add some of this console's gems, I'm severely lacking.
GameCube:
Xbox:
Xbox 360:
DS and DSi:
Consoles:
So that's what it looks like as of now. I'll update again once I get it all the way set up.

DRClaw had one in his pics. There have always been can collectors, so I figured they were worth saving. I also never drink out of pop cans, so they have been carefully opened and rinsed several times and allowed to dry before they were stored.
I think the official way to do it is to punch a hole in the bottom of the can and let everything drain out, but that may have changed over the years.

Mostly games that are horizontal are opened or were purchased from Gamefly and the ones that are vertical are still sealed.

That sealed Dragon Warrior VII is worth a decent amount (I think $100 or so) if there's no visible damage to the case or shrinkwrap, or loose discs inside. But the game's being remade so it's value will fall. But you've got stuff in the second picture that's worth more, like Skyward Sword Bundle, MGS HD LE, and Lords of Shadow LE (if it's on PS3).

You probably have a +/- $200 value lot there, depending on condition and whether the DW7 is a legit seal. Less if you sell individually and get hit with fees, more if you auction as a lot and run into a lunatic bulk buyer.

To the above poster, the only game sealed in the 1st pic is Dragon Warrior VII. In the 2nd pic most of the vertical games are sealed except Skyward Sword and Tales of Symphonia. The opened games are put horizontally because I've started some but never finished or I opened them thinking I was bout to start them then decided to play something else or were Gamefly purchases.
[quote name='boogie4114']Not much to brag about but here goes....

Mostly games that are horizontal are opened or were purchased from Gamefly and the ones that are vertical are still sealed.[/QUOTE]
Good mix of games and J's! I like it.

Started moving my PS2 and PS1 collections to my new place. Some not pictured. A lot was traded to AZ when they had the crazy TIV.
Alright. I wanted to archive what I had in my collection up to this point. I took a picture of everything I have. From here on out *for my personal records* I will be keeping tabs of what I get in any given month to see how it grows or shrinks. Thought I would post my work for you guys to check out, since when I posted my room a few pages back some people said they preferred to see individual titles in collections instead of a brief overview. I wanted to post everything in one go but apparently Flickr won't let me have access to more than 200 photos. 
SO I will post just my Nintendo, Sega, and Sony stuff. If people like it I will post the rest later.
Nintendo:
Sega:
Sony:
So those are my collections for the big three. I will probably post pictures for my other consoles some time later. I hope you guys enjoy.

I have a Game Buy Printer but is buried somewhere in all the moving boxes.
Instead of getting the same replacement cover from the Cover Project I thought I would flex my artistic muscle and make my own. I plan to do this for all my loose games.

This is a hard modded PS1. I also have an audiophile (sadly isn't working now) and a PSone that isn't in the pic.
Large red box is Persona 2 Eternal Punishment CE from Japan.
Anyone out there have the Mega Man Legends 2 demo for trade???

PS2:
Definitely my largest collection.
PS3:
I have a launch 60 GB without a box so I didn't bother taking a picture.
PSP:
I have a PSP 1001 and the box was no where to be found. So no pic. This system is so underrated.

I clicked all the spoilers. Very nice. I particularly envy the Saturn and PS collections. So many titles I wish I would have picked up back then. And any collection that has Sewer Shark gets an automatic A from me.

We just wanted close ups to be able to see the spine... no need to take pics of the fronts. :lol:
Anyway, fantastic collection. It was a fun journey going through all of those spoilers.

[quote name='Vinny']All I now know is that you have a lot of Energizer boxes...[/QUOTE]
They are perfect for media. I get them from costco and sams club. They hold 11 DVDs, 15 ps3 games, 7 VHS tapes (I think if you put one on top), and a shit ton of CDs. They stack really well too!
I'll have to check out kermit036 collection when I have some more time. Does anyone know how to show all spoilers? Isn't there a javascript code?

What kermit should've done is just make one spoiler for everything instead of each individual pic. XD
