Yeah this guy decided to end it single-handedly by giving away his NES

FREE means Make Offer.

>>10813840
8 bit stuff will continue to decline in cost, zoomers have no nostalgia for it.

>>10813862
i'm a zoomer and i have nostalgia for the NES because I grew up playing the Mega Man anniversary collection on my PS2 on top of buying a bunch of virtual console games on my wii. also watched a lot of NES game reviews during the early days of YouTube for some reason.

>>10813862
Gen X buys it

>>10813867
I get that, but the actual nostalgia is for playing those particular 8bit games on the PS2 or Wii. My nostalgia for the TG16 is only due to Virtual Console as well, I've tried getting real PCE hardware to satisfy that feel, but it turns out I just needed a hacked Wii.

>>10813875
Gen X played Atari, they also live in the woods and keep to themselves.

>>10813840
Are you no longer seething about prices? Well there's your answer.

>>10813840
finally

>>10813840
hope not, I'm counting on Saturn titles going retardedly high in one or two decades so I can retire on selling it.

>>10813878
No. They played Nintendo more than Atari because Atari was relatively insignificant.

>>10813910
Gen X were born in the 60s and 70s, prime Atari / Coleco / Intellivision / Golden Age of Arcade era. They probably played NES in high school and college, certainly but first gen games weren't insignificant, and post crash were insanely cheap.

>>10813949
Bro anyone born in1975 had SMB come out at just 10 yo. The 2nd half of Gen X started Nintendo fandom.

i have almost every console between nes and xbox 360 and mods/flashcarts for all of them but i just emulate everything because i don't care about all this plastic crap anymore

>>10813840
well it was over quite a long time ago nobody realized it.
specially when you can make your own nes,snes,megadrive,ps2 and so on following the blueprints (it was great making my own gameboy from scratch).

>>10813959
Sure you do lil bro

>>10813959
I've seen almost every larp between nes and xbox 360 and yours has got to be in the top 10 most pathetic.

>zoomers dont understand 30+ year olds kept their consoles instead of selling
Real Hardware (TM) is only interesting if you missed out on the CRT era like how millennials had a vinyl hype 10-15 years ago. Anyone who experienced this era knows CRTs were sluggish pieces of shit and that flatscreen technology was a big revolution. The real hardware meme are a zoomer only thing, hence the relatively recent upsurge in retro vidya prices.

>>10814715
SD games look crisp on CRT, and sluggish on HD screens.

>>10814715
atrocious take
wrong at every level
about every single thing
WOW you need an award

>>10814715
>zoomer doesn't understand he's not fooling anyone

>>10813867
>I'm a zoomer
opinion disregarded

Zoomers' retro hardware obsession seems to be focused on handhelds (just look at the retro handheld thread on here). Guessing it has to do with them growing up with smartphones.

>>10813878
Pretty based.

>>10814892
guessing it has to do with the fact that nobody owns a TV to play retro consoles properly on

>>10813840
God I hope not. This is my retirement nest egg.
>not really bug maybe it could be?

>>10813850
This. Nobody is out here giving away retro vidya.

>>10815063
You underestimate people's willingness to just play old games on an HDTV through composite and stretched to 16:9

>>10813840
if by over you mean everything is more expensive than ever, then yes

>>10815107
Best I can offer you is $40 dollars store credit towards a PS5

>Bro anyone born in1975 had SMB come out at just 10 yo.

10 year olds gave no shits about consoles, they went to arcades and played Space Harrier. Only the smallest kids cared about the NES in 1985.

>>10814892
>just look at the retro handheld thread on here
I suggest you to actually read the thread.

>>10813875
Spelled millenials wrong. Gen X all got mortgages and no one else did

>>10816112
It's a bunch of zoomers jerking off to old handhleds and modern chinkshit handhelds

Is it even viable or possible to build a collection in the modern day without paying hefty prices?
shits so fucking overpriced, I'm too stubborn to use a emulator, how you get this shit cheap? I don't think any piece of tech from the 90s is worth more than 80 bucks.

>>10816476
buy an everdrive for 200 and you can play every game ever made for a console.

>>10816482
Besides the everdrive? Or am I retarded for even thinking it’s possible without flash carts

>>10816476
If you're really dead set on collecting physical then collect for systems that are cheap and no one cares about like the genesis, xbox or gameboy. Plenty of games for under 20 or even 10 bucks.

>>10816525
>nobody cares about
>genesis
u srs?

>>10816530
I meant that in a "retro resell market" sense, prices remain low because the genesis is an overlooked and underrated console. I love the genesis and the fact that it's affordable

>>10816554
What about avoiding resellers. How you get this stuff without feeding their absurd prices

>>10816508
there is no other option. Get with the program

>>10816567
you must regularly hit up flea markets, garage sales and thrift stores and get lucky. you'll frequently walk out empty handed or with a basketfull of mid shit but if you are persistent eventually you will hit the jackpot.

>>10816476
Yes. Unless you want every low print run Jap shmup/RPG to flex your e-cred. The games people actually owned back in the day are still relatively cheap

>>10813840
That is $150 minimum. Not free

>>10813850
>Make Offer.
$0

>>10816619
$150.05. but i still think that's highway robbery.

>>10816097
>in 1985
In 1985 the only people who cared about the NES were the 90,000 people living in NYC who were able to buy one. Rest of the country couldn't care until at least Sept 1986, when it finally became available nationwide.

>>10813840
anon you go to pick up your free nes and the next thing you know your organs are being harvested

oldest scam in the book

>>10817756
B-but I get to keep the NES, right? Right?

>>10814715
Vinyl is analog and as a result does do something retard

Old guy here who started collecting NES games in the late 90s. Things were so good back then you have no idea. Games that go for hundreds nowadays could be bought for a few bucks at Funcoland. 30 dollars would let you walk out of that store with a bag of classics, sleeper hits, weird but interesting stuff and shelf filler. Toy stores would liquidate their NES stock and you could buy sealed games for 5 bucks a pop. Friends and family would just give you their old shit for free. It was an amazing time but will never be recreated for any system thanks to the internet enabling everyone to be some sort of retro gaming speculator.

>>10816482
Emulation. Is. Fucking. ILLEGAL.
