We are fast approaching an age where buying games will be a completely digital affair. But if you grew up with the NES, Master System, or any of the Nintendo, Sega, and Sony systems to date, you know each has its classics that are, in some cases, worth a small fortune in their disc or cartridge format.
If you’re a collector, counting the complete back catalog of games for one system as part of your collection is a commendable achievement, but what about having full gaming sets for 22 different systems?
I doubt anyone has ever done that through game purchases alone, but one eBay seller is offering such a set. The price? A cool $1.2 million.
That’s a crazy amount of cash to spend on games, but when you find out what’s included in this auction, and the condition the games are in, it might actually sound like a good deal.

The seller is called collectors_king, and he’s either got great connections in the games manufacturing industry, or he stumbled across an abandoned storage factory that just so happened to have the ultimate collection of games within.
Here’s the list of systems the auction is offering full game sets for along with the number of games for each one:

• Nintendo Famicon – 1,050 games
• Nintendo Famicon Disk – 200 games
• Nintendo Virtual Boy – 19 games
• Nintendo Super Famicon – 1,500 games
