/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5355536
Good it all worked out for you

>>5355536
I dont own a PS2 or Dreamcast anymore but I kept my copies of MGS2/MGS3 and Shenmue and Phantasy Star Online cause I knew I couldnt het rid of them. I only wish I kept Jet Grind Radio, someday I will get a Dreamcast again.

>>5355536
I spent a few years feeling regret about some of the games I sold and I ended up getting a lot of them back as an adult.

>>5355536
We all did it in the late 90s bro, hang in there. Everyone thought the logical progression was just to let them go and buy the newest thing.

My bro has sold half of our snes games to buy an N64. I know that feel bro.

>>5355536
>selling a Super Nintendo for N64 and OoT

Yikes anon. Glad you got the old systems back.

>>5355536
You know you could've just emulated or spent $5 dollars on an RPi instead of buying toys, right?

>>5355750
you realize it is not about money, right? dumb nigger.

>We all did it in the late 90s bro
not me, my parents sold my games for drug money

>>5355732
I did that too. My parents traded in my SNES to get a N64, and I didn't even get Ocarina of time. And I had some of the best SNES games you could of had during that time too.
This was my SNES game list:
>DKC, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Super Tennis, Pilot wings, Starwing, Super Scope with Yoshis Safari, Super Probotector, Megaman X, Kirby Super Star, Super Punchout, Legend of Zelda: ALTTP, F-Zero, Super Gameboy
I might have missed a couple, I was like 5 or 6 at the time.
This was what I ended up with on N64
> Super Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing Pokémon Snap, Pokemon Stadium 1+2, Banjo Kazooie (stolen when I lent it out), F-Zero X, Power Rangers Light Speed Rescue, Lylat Wars, Rugrats: Treasure Hunt, Dark Rift, WCW vs NWO World Tour,
I didn't even get GoldenEye, Paper Mario, Smash Bros, Kirby 64, Mario Party, Zelda or Mario Kart 64. Not even Donkey Kong 64. Hardly any of the good games on it.
I did end up buying a SNES and most of the carts I had as a kid, but I still feel kind of bitter. Maybe if I got a N64 flash cart and an old CRT I could put the past to rest.

>>5355536
nice blog faggot

>>5355536
One of my faggot friends stole 3/4 of my 60 game nes collection over the course of a year when I was a kid. Will never not be mad. You gave yours up willingly though.

>>5355536

you should meditate or something.
its not good to be so attached to mass produced objects.

it's the games that you really loved as a child, not the plastic the games came in. you can still enjoy those same games today plus all the ones you missed out on :)

>>5355750
I'm not poor and wanted a clean attractive package because I'm not a friendless recluse.

>>5355982
Do you know who did it? Did you manage to cut that fucker out of your life, and what kind of person are/were they?

The asshole who stole a good backpack-full of my shit was a friend of my little brother's. A fucking juggalo piece of shit too. He stole his friend's games a bit after my shit went missing, and got his ass beat for it when he was caught. Apparently he's got no friends now and still tries to reconnect with my brother, who completely cut him out.

>>5355536
not /v/
not your personal blog

>>5355982
>You gave yours up willingly
I was 11, i didn't know better

>>5355684
I wanted to, but my dad said i shouldn't because I wouldn't get much for each individual game and I'd probably want to play it again later.
He was right. Thanks, dad.

>stole 3/4 of my 60 game nes collection over the course of a year
lol wtf, how were you realizing this?

>>5355536
I never sold any games (except Super Mario Kart), but I threw away all their cardboard boxes and manuals :^(

>>5355536
My SNES broke because my brother snapped the connector for the power cord.

>>5355684
>We all did it
Not me, getting rid of perfectly functional systems and games that I liked to buy something new sounded retarded even for my 12 years old self. All of my friends did it and I never understood that mindset.

>>5355982
Fuck off Greg. We pissed in you mopeds gas tank too.

>>5355684
I sold everything

>>5355536

Thank god emulation and being utterly obsessed with 16 bit music scratches that poor childhood nostalga itch.

>be me
>write blog posts
>use greentext
>think /vr/ is the nostalgia board

>>5358368

>sell off nearly 200 games total over a few months
>its before the big bubble of retro collecting hit
>ended up buy fucking SPICE with n64 money

>still have small anxiety attacks when i try to smoke nearly 10 years later

I'm just now starting to rebuild my gaming collection. It hurts.

It was such a fun hobby as a kid collecting something so easy to find in my local area. There was never an issue of going to the local flea market, pawn shop, or thrift store and finding at the very least a reasonable deal.

tl;dr fuck being a stupid kid in a stupid phase

all i have now is an n64 with 5 games, a wii u, and an xbone my wife bought me

>>5355684
And the natural process would be let videogame hobby go in high school years and move on. But here we are, thanks to judean-freemasonry, we are still caring and playing video-toys.

Kill a freemason today, burn one. one by one.
