Show and Tell: Beware -- tears of jealousy ahead

Some people just have it all, and reader sergioalb64 seems to be in that group. As soon as we saw his enormous DS collection, we knew we would have to feature it here. Does anyone need 100 DS games and 38 styli? No, probably not, but we bet it would be really nice to have. Though deciding what to play might take a while. Like, days.
Thanks for showing us, sergioalb64. We burn with jealousy. In fact, we are so jealous that we've made a gallery just for you, so we can return to your collection at will, drooling and dreaming over all the things we don't have.
Just remember, you too can be in this spot, with everyone cooing over your awesome game-related photos and swag. Just take some pictures and send them to showmeit at dsfanboy dot com, and we'll take care of the rest. We've gotten lots of great submissions so far, but we always want more! Big collections, small collections, random items, your beloved DS -- take some photos and send them to us, and your stuff just might turn up here.

Um... wow. Wow... I was just proud of having the two pokemon ones.
Well... I, uh... I don't see any kunai! Or One Piece accessories! So there!
*runs away crying*

I like my R4DS.

I think there are at most 30 games I would even like to own for my DS. But, nevertheless, I wouldn't mind having a cool DS game pyramid like that.
Dunno if I'd spend the $3000 or so for it though.

Well, thanks to the surplus of a college loan, I got all that. I only play about 2, maybe 3 games at a time and I do plan to collect every single DS game in America, and then some. It'll take a while to beat them all, so I guess I'll be DS Grampa someday!

That's all well and good, but Sprung??? Come on!!
Alisha Karabinus @ Jun 21st 2007 4:34PM
Crazylink -- I dunno, send it and see! Though you'll probably up your chances if you ALSO show me some DS stuff.
sergioalb64 -- lucky for you, DS Grampa is the new cool. :)

Dont lots of people have 100 games? (DS-X, R4, M3)
lol, guess those dont make as good a gallery though.
That would suck if while he was tkaing that picture, his alcoholic drink spilled on all of them or something XD

Well, I have to agree with Johnny on this one. Although all of your New super Mario Bros. styli are pretty awesome. Still, WHY do you have multiple DS's? Do you let your friends play with them or something? 'Cuz otherwise it's kinda pointless.

Ouch. My Pride.
To think I used to brag about my fifteen game collection. Those days are gone now, my claim to fame demolished by that pyramid of little plastic cards :(

Oh crap, time to take a picture of my 30 DS games next to my 300 NES games.

Nice collection. I have 20 games myself -- a far cry from the 100 in this one, but at least I can take some pride in owning at least one game that he doesn't have (Picross DS, in case you're wondering).
BTW -- don't assume 100 games == $3000. I have bought quite a few games for < $10. I was even able to get Advance Wars for $15 at Target (IMO, one of my best deals ever). Of my 20 games, I think I paid $5 or less for 5 of them.
Just keep on the lookup for good game deals, and you can build up a collection pretty quickly. If I wanted, I would have more -- but, instead, I'm slightly more picky with my choices.

Do it, Rubang B. Show me!

Oh yeah, cheap games are easy to find; the cheapest one of those is Dig Dug DS, which I got for $6 shipped online.
I have two DS Lites; the white one works perfectly and the black one is adopted and handicapped (its top screen has no display). I got it for $25 on ebay and I use it for games I've beat like Ouendan, Meteos, and Brain Age's Sudoku, so I do play both systems.
Adopt a DS Lite if you can; you'll feel good about it :)

Nice to see another DS freak also to have one with such similar tastes too.
Garrett @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:37AM
What, no Hotel Dusk?
