/vr/ - Retro Games

I used to when my video game collecting was the most important thing in my life. Now I dream about my wife and kid. Lame right? LoL

9.3/10, would steal in a dream

I just had a dream like that.
I was outside my college and selling some of my Wii games. Had to beat the shit out of some people for trying to steal games, and police arrived. They saw me beating the crap out of two rabbit/snake things.

Its all cool though cus they started it.

>Some dude comes with a box of old stuff
>I see ALTERED BEAST for the Super Famicom.

Shit looked real as fuck.
yeah I have problems ;_;

what dream?

...dear god

I sold my collection because money's hard, yo (mistake), but if and when I get it back, I'm just gonna buy flashcarts

The OGs are nice to have, and I admire your collection, but a singular cart is so much more manageable

It astounds me that they were able to put Doom on the SNES. Even though it was completely inferior to the PC version, it's still incredible that they were able to pull that off pretty well on the hardware of a snes and a couple graphic chips

Mine involved finding dozens of Neo Geo games in the benches of some abandoned bus shelter.

Yeah, weird. But when you're dreaming, the thought is "holy shit, how do I carry all this home?"

>>1589984
I had one not too long ago
>went to Goodwill
>go to the back where the games are
>dozens and dozens
>rare ones, hard to find ones, ect.
>$3 each
>get a good pile going
>too big to carry
>run up to the front to get a cart
>all of the games are gone
>find one half assed game left
>go to pay for it
>for some reason the registers are outside
>the line is as long as the great wall of china
>cashiers are Chinese
>outsourcing I guess
>finally get rang up
>walk across the street
>suddenly Koreans
>"whatchoo do in our hood round eye"
>it was a scooter gang of them
>not even modern scooters
>old ass 1970's-80's scooters
>one scooter had 2 guys on it
>guy on back had an RPG
woke up felling weird.

I think I'm going to go the full flashcart route
my problem is if I find something good I have a hard time letting it go, I know the money off it is going to be good but damn it feel like it's already part of the collection
I'll eventually get over it, I think the first few flashcarts I'll get are GB/GBC and genesis. I'll wait till SNES ones are a bit more stable and gone down in price

i get those all the time

>>1589984
>>Wake up... fucking... FUCK!!

>desperately try to go back to sleep and relive the glory

I seem to dream about visiting infinitely huge arcades often.

I haven't been to/seen an arcade in over a decade.

Ah, finally a man with taste - who dreams about an experience that can't be replicated instead of avaricious lust for material objects. Good dream, My Friend. I'd take you to Cedar Point if I could.

>>1590213
Are you me
This happens too often
>be in generic metropolitan city for the first time
>see vidya store
>owner says they're closing today, everything is 90% off
>Earthbounds out the wazoo for $25 each
>wake up, have to go to class

>>1590265
S-son... have you been dreaming about Earthbounds on your Nintendo?

>>1590245
Yeah I feel liked I've had arcade dreams too.
I just remember some of my best gaming experiences with the Outrun cabinet with steering wheel/pedals, Simpsons Arcade, Raiden 2, Aerosmith, House of the Dead with the guns...

I sometimes have Age of Empires dreams. Something about building farms.
