Confession time: I’m a grown man and still read Archie comic books. Actually, this really isn’t much of a confession as the company’s line of comics appeals to a wide demographic. Readers of all ages enjoy the exploits of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and the gang, thanks to highly accessible stories that are fun to […]
Video Game Movies in the August 25 VHS Showcase Auction
I’m the Lead Video Game Cataloger here at Heritage Auctions, but I’m a big film buff as well, so I always find our VHS sales compelling. While scrolling through our upcoming Showcase Auction, I noticed there are four video game-related movies (actually, one of them is a game—you’ll see what I mean) up for grabs […]

The Power of Nintendo Power Cover Art
The word “Nintendo” is virtually synonymous with video games, even in the age of PlayStation and Xbox. It’s been that way since the late 1980s, when Nintendo took over from Atari as the king of video game companies. In 1988, the company began publishing Nintendo Power, which is arguably the most iconic video game magazine […]

PC Video Games Showcase Auction
Like video games, computer games are coming into their own as bona fide collectibles, similar to comic books, trading cards, and action figures. We’ve got a number of classics in our June 15 PC Video Games Showcase Auction, including such titles as Age of Empires, Call of Duty, and World of Warcraft, but I thought it would be fun to focus here on five media tie-in titles that might get overlooked.
July 6 2023 Sixth Generation and Beyond Video Games Showcase
We love vintage video games as much as anyone, but it’s fun collecting modern titles as well. Our July 6 Sixth Generation Showcase sale features tons of great games for a variety of recent and current consoles, including the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. We’ve also got games for such systems as the PlayStation 2 and Sega Dreamcast, both of which debuted more than two decades ago but still seem relatively modern to us, at least compared to such vintage systems as the Atari 2600 and NES.
