Most of the games from the PlayStation 2 era onwards came in their original case, though I saved a considerable amount of money by picking up disc-only copies of the college basketball games for PS3. I’m interested in playing the games, not displaying them, so getting my hands on a working copy at a reasonable price is my aim. While I’m not against collecting “complete in box” (or at least the case/box in addition to the media), that tends to be far more expensive. You may notice that several games are disc or cartridge-only. At this point, I’ve collected almost all of the games I can for the systems that I actually own, so while I do have space for more, they’ll mostly be future releases. Continuing to build the collection over the past seven years has necessitated some reorganisation of my shelves and drawers to accommodate the new arrivals. However, I do still like physical copies, and they’re obviously the only option when we’re talking about retro collecting. I’ve become more open to digital copies since 2015, in part because my connection is now faster, but also because it’s the only option for NBA 2K on PC. I’ll start out by reflecting on my physical basketball video game collection as a whole.

The Whole Physical Basketball Video Game Collection Finally, it’s been almost seven years since I wrote about my basketball video game collection, and I’ve been able to make some exciting additions since then. There are also a few digital releases that I didn’t display in my follow-up screenshots, including a couple I neglected to mention since they’re standalone releases and not on a digital platform such as Steam, Xbox Live, or the PSN Store. However, I would like to talk a little more about my basketball video game collection, and provide a comprehensive listing as it’s impossible to get every title to be clearly visible in one photo.

Given the old maxim of a picture being worth a thousand words, I could just leave it at those Tweets. I wanted it to inspire nostalgia, intrigue, and yes, a slight touch of good-natured envy. While collecting is something that I do for my own enjoyment – and create content for the NLSC, of course – I was naturally hoping that my fellow hoops gamers would be impressed and get a kick out of the photo. I’m proud of my collection and satisfied in how I’ve been able to amass it, so I was pleased with the reception. This week, I’m tipping things off with a look at my basketball video game collection, as of 2022.īack in March, I tweeted out a photo of my entire physical basketball video game collection, with some follow-up screenshots of the digital releases I own. We’re at midcourt, and the ball is about to go up…it’s Monday Tip-Off! Join me as I begin the week here at the NLSC with my opinions and commentary on basketball gaming topics, as well as tales of the fun I’ve been having on the virtual hardwood.
