			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_64DD">Nintendo 64DD</a> along with all the games that have ever been made for it –all nine of &#8216;em! – are up for grabs on eBay. For those too young to remember, the Nintendo 64DD was an add-on console to the Nintendo 64. The combo was supposed to match up with then newcomer, the PlayStation. It used proprietary 64MB disks, kinda like the old Zip drives. It took 4 years of feet-dragging by Nintendo for the 64DD to be released, and even then only a few units and games were produced. Which makes this stash a rarity, and a must have for video game collectors. I think.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-35097  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/nintendo-64dd-collection-1.jpg" alt="nintendo 64dd collection 1" width="600" height="454" title="nintendo 64dd collection 1 photo" /></p>
<p>Included in the collection are a 64 DD, a couple of Nintendo mice and keyboards, all 4 <em>Mario Artist</em> games, <em>Doshin the Giant</em> 1 and 2, the &#8220;really hard to get&#8221; Doshin the Giant demo disk, <em>Japan Pro-Golf Tour 64 DD</em>, <em>SimCity 64DD</em> and an <em>F-Zero X </em>expansion kit. There&#8217;s also a Game Boy Pocket Camera for use with the Mario Artist games and a Capture Cartridge, which apparently is a device used to take Mario Artist-compatible photographs using a camera with RCA inputs. There are already 9 bids for the collection, so it is sought after to some extent. Place your bid now at <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=300439133908=">eBay</a>; bid starts at $510 (USD), or if you&#8217;re rolling in dough, you can buy it outright for $1,300.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You read that right. This one&#8217;s only for those who have the funds and the passion for gaming. Aptly-named <em>Game Collector</em>, this Windows-only database software is packed with a ton of features that can make managing your video game collection a snap.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5897 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/inventory1.jpg" alt="inventory1" width="520" height="332" title="inventory1 photo" /></p>
<p>The software uses an online database to make adding and searching for games easy. You just type in the title of your game and the platform it&#8217;s for and the search returns with a list. Select your game from the list and it&#8217;s added to your inventory, along with pictures, synopsis and other information that you freaks are sure to love. Their online database is robust, covering games from current gen consoles all the way to ancients like the Commodore 64. Since a game collector would probably have hundreds or thousands of games, the software&#8217;s maker Collectorz also sells a <a href="http://www.collectorz.com/game/cuecat_barcode_scanner.php" target="_blank">barcode scanner</a> to eliminate the hassle of typing and searching for games.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5899 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/inventory3.jpg" alt="inventory3" width="520" height="618" title="inventory3 photo" /></p>
<p>Aside from a customizable sorting scheme &#8211; you can sort your games by platform, by genre, even by your date of purchase &#8211; collectors can also contribute to the online database by uploading details of their games. You can also mark your list of games with statuses like &#8220;not in collection&#8221;, &#8220;on order&#8221; or &#8220;for sale&#8221;. Since the Pro version of the software is printable, this is a good way of comparing your collection with your 3 friends, of which one is your pet rat. Kidding. But for me the feature that really screams <span style="line-through;">I am rich but lonely</span> connoisseur is the loan manager.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5900 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/picture-1.jpg" alt="picture 1" width="520" height="147" title="picture 1 photo" /></p>
<p>Yes. It&#8217;s simply a list of whom you lent your games to and when. and their DUE DATE. IN.SANE. If you want or <a href="http://www.vintagecomputing.com/wp-content/images/vgc_interview/1_vgc_original_main_large.jpg" target="_blank">need</a> the <em>Game Collector</em>, you can sign up for a free trial or purchase the game at <a href="http://www.collectorz.com/game/features.php" target="_blank">Collectorz&#8217; site</a>. The standard version sells for $30 and will be emailed to the customer. But since Collectorz knows that realz hardcorez collectorz don&#8217;t want no standard crap, they also have a pro version: $50 for the software only, $70 for a CD plus something they call &#8220;premium support&#8221;.</p>
<p>You know you want it.</p>
