I know Zak has tons of wares where this is concerned. I would just like to see what a comprehensive collection of Cave games actually looks like and if its possible to fit it all in one photo.

So go on, make us all envious, someone..

And believe me, I really just want to see a big pile of Cave.

Actually come to think of it, neo-geo.com has a collection page of peoples collection of neo geo carts, pocket games and arcade games. I think it would be a good idea to do something on this site very similar but to do with shmups only.

What do you think?

We have this and that's quite enough.

Assuming zak still has his house, he's probably got the most impressive collection as he's got full kits of older games. I believe Sven (and maybe SuperPang?) are the only ones w/ DOJ Black Label full kit, w/ poster and flyer.

My goal is to somewhat attain a location test PCB.

Spare change, mister?

I think Superpang has the most impressive collection!

*jealous*

I'm sure we both have items that make each other jealous. There are certainly two of the best Keibu collections outside Japan here in the UK though. Makes me proud.

I've decided to be a modest collector for some reason and I don't feel comfortable uploading pics of the whole shebang. I have no idea why.
I just sit back and watch em become even more valuable than the silly money they already cost me. Cave collecting has gone nuts over the last 5 years. Ironic as I think both me and zak sold our anal Neo Geo collections to fund the habit.

a wise choice, some people cannot control their jealousy

I think all of the Cave collectors sold of other collections in favour of this addiction, i know i did.. glad i did too.

ed: what i would like to see is a japanese arcadecollector and what they focus on?

No serious collector is going to show pictures of their collection. It is simple economics. If a collector has a rare item that no one outside of his group knows about, he can look for the item in secret and most likely buy it for a decent price and upgrade his collection. If he shows a picture of the item or tells people of its existence, suddenly lots of people now want to buy it. If it goes up for auction more people bid on it. If it is in a store, the odds of the collector finding it first are dramatically decreased.

I always seem to mix up Zakk with Zak with Zlk.

I can undestand why, but I'd also be interested in seeing some pics of some kits of early Cave games. If you have some I'd love to see them. ^^

In Japan, especially in the big cities, it is very hard to amass a large arcade collection, simply for reasons of space. I know that MUL from neuro-nex.net put his Cave collection up on his site, but they're PCB-only. Don't know of anyone else.

Supposedly though Akira Nishitani (designer of SF2, head of Arika) has been a huge PCB collector since the mid-80s and has one of the largest PCB collections in Japan. Probably has some pretty nifty stuff in there.

There are some big shmup collectors in France and Germany who don't post on English forums as well.

In France there are Hayabusa and Gion, but I don't think they have the first Caves.

Semi-OT: Does Joker Jun ever have booths at Comiket? I wouldn't mind getting him to sign some of my ESPRade/Guwange/Progear stuff. I think that would put me amongst the ranks.

You can check participants at http://www.comiket.co.jp/

Didn't the summer comiket just finish though? Next one would be in December then.
