/vr/ - Retro Games

Hi, /vr/

Since 2013, I've done a thing where I keep track of every game I beat in the year, and as of last year, I want to have at least one game beaten per month. We're one week away from the end of January, and I haven't beaten a single thing yet, so I was wondering if you could recommend a retro game (or several) that would be quick and easy to breeze through.

Any genre works, and I chose to ask you because retro games tend to be easier to acquire, and in some cases, much shorter and more intuitive to play than modern games.

Thanks.

No, it won't "dip", as in, go down to $30-$60. It will never be "reasonable".
Bottom line is, since 2012, an average copy of Earthbound hasn't sold for less than $140, that includes news/rumors of the VC/Eshop release. Right now, they're going for $150-$170, two months ago, $180-$200. I conceive its -possible- the game drops all the way to $120 depending on two things,
A)The success of the WiiU
B)Demand decreases because of those eshop purchases


...I just don't see that happening for 2 key reasons.
1)This isn't like MVC2 where people legitimately WANTED to play the game, frequently, and didn't care about a physical copy. MVC2's release -did- MASSIVE damage to MVC2's value on both the DC and PS2. But in comparison to Earthbound, a single player game...
2)Could already be had through emulation anyways. For Free. That's literally all the Wii-U eshop thing is doing. IF THEY RELEASE A PHYSICAL COPY for the 3DS or WiiU, only -then- will the sales of the original cartridge tank. The eshop version is just not enough.
Its just a rom for a SINGLE player game.


Look at Link to the Past.
Is there a virtual console version of that? Yep. Its prices have skyrocketed.
Super Metroid?
Same.

Bottom line is, combine the retro bubble with the above formula, you're going to be lucky to see Earthbound drop more than $20-$40 in the coming months. If anything, its entirely plausible it does the reverse just like the games above, and causes an INTEREST in retro gaming with further expands the bubble.


Just food for thought.
