And even that does not sound like a good deal, proof alone it is the correct answer to OP's question.

>>9078782
That would be the answer to OP's 2nd question.

The next question is how to reproduce the same effects on other platforms. Even obscure and unliked stuff is oddly pricey, such as Virtual Boy or Jaguar.

That is very odd. In my experience, I have found them to be the most durable without any failures. Unless someone purposely cut traces or used them as experiment boards for component soldering practice, are the only way I can imagine them not working. They've survived floods, can work even while being dirty, even function while not being seated properly; practically indestructible.

What store? That one looks like it has good titles. This is all that remains in my area.

Depends on the console and games

You can get Atari games for under $5 a pop.

Wrong. 2600, bitch.

Like commemorative Elvis plates, once the boomers die off, prices will hit rock bottom.

Atari 2600 games have been cheap all the way back since the 1900s.

>>6852795
They are not if you go for sports, gameshow, horse racing, card, or 2600.

>>6554746
Fake news. You can get 2600 games for $3 each.

>>6552641
Cherry picking.

>>5972564
It is only select games. A lot of games are cheap and widely available.

>>5731847
2600 is still cheap in the USA. Just $3 a game.

>>5690348
Thirding HPB. They have the largest selection of retro games in my state.

>>4893351
Filled with cheap games.

>>4753283
They have already decreased. Atari 2600 games are $3 each. You can get most years of Madden, PGA, and FIFA games for just $2 dollars.

I got the 2 which I read is an Atari-on-a-chip with the added bonus it has solder pads to add a cartridge port. I figured it could be a practice PCB for me to learn how to solder. If I fuck up, the world will not miss a flashback system.

If you do not add the cartridge port, it has 40 built in games, some of which are new/original titles, but still a decent set of 2600 games. The two joysticks are accurate to the originals, so they're not very accurate, best replaced with Genesis controllers which works perfectly. The 2 only outputs component, and I don't think there's an RGB mod for the system.

While I did play the 2600 before the NES came out, I have no nostalgia for it. The 2600 features games which are not suited to everyone, so $18 for a practice PCB is costly to me, but I was amused for 5 minutes. It sure beats an actual 2600 which runs $77 here in the US (with games $3.30 each). The other editions of the Atari Flashback systems are NES-on-a-chip based, so you lose the ability to add a cartridge port, but features more games (but loses out on the few Activision games on 2). I think the newer ones may have an HDMI out too, with wireless controllers, but by then you may as well just emulate.

Surprised no one has posted /vr/ prices bingo image yet. My local bookstore still sells 2600 games for $3.30USD each.

Already happened. $3 a game.

The 2600 system goes for at least $66 here. The games, $3.30 minimum.
