/vr/ - Retro Games

Don’t care, I’m not a collector and I own all I want already. Fuck all you late to the party bandwagon riders.

>>7359398
The inflated nintendo and plastation crap will go down, hard. Genuinely rare and sought after games will go further up. The nostalgia window will move on from PS2/xbox crap to PS3/360. And then the nostalgia thing will stop because zoomers are empty creatures.

>>7359459
A lot of Gamecube and N64 heavy hitters have already pulled back considerably.
I think last summer was just the perfect storm of people stuck at home fomo'ing back into their childhood games combined with an utter lack of people clearing out their storage and selling their old stuff.

You're probably right though, the genuinely rare and coveted games probably aren't falling any time soon. Maybe they'll plateau for a while but I doubt they'll fall any.

>>7359459
Think Ill ever be able to get Silent Hill and Lunar 2 under $100 or should I get them before they get worse?

>>7359530
How about learning japanese and grab the cheap ntsc-j lunar?

>>7359484

Where the fuck do you live, OP? My country has been back to normal for months.

Will people ever learn to stop chasing fetishes and embrace digital abundance?

I couldn't last 10 seconds

>>7360331
you have a hoarding poblem!

>>7360183
Flash carts exist. Old consoles aren't dead. Folx still make romhacks and the occasional game for them.

>>7360198
What's more pathetic, a soiboi showing off his game room or a soiboi laughing at a soiboi showing off his game room?

>>7360350
I have literally one shelf of games. Who do you think you're talking to?

>>7359398
emulating was free before the pandemic, during and will still be free after. Fuck coomlectors

They both just need to get off their high horse and suck each others dicks already. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife.

>>7360923
You're not getting the full experience. You can't say you beat those games, it didn't count.

>>7361032
>You can't say you beat those games, it didn't count

the ultimate retarded cope. You can't even fool yourself into believing this, you plastic fetishist

>>7359530
Silent Hill is over $100? Damn

>>7361063
I ended up settling for buying it at $103.

>>7361050
The /v/ avatarfag is here

I recently bought a new Wii as my old one had a busted disk drive, that was cheap but I got it on a knifes edge of luck, prices for old or even fairly recent older gen consoles are reaching higher prices because everyone wants to collect retro shit now cause they're bored.

>>7360426

>>7363110
Just according to keikaku.

>>7359530
I just got Silent Hill for 70 from my LGS.

>>7360426
This. Just got a GDEMU and PSIO for my dreamcast and PS1, Xbox is already modded, setting up the PS2 next. Emulation isn't the only option for playing ROMs.

>>7359398

Retard.

>>7359398
This "pandemic" will never be over.
We now live in a post-covid world with printed stimulus monopoly money checks.

>>7364463

At my goodwill they have two ps2s (39001 and 50001 with the adapter) both for $25 each. Is it worth getting either one?

>>7364492
Dude it’s 25 bucks, you want confirmation of validation for 25 buck purchases from internet strangers?

>>7364478
I don't think that the Virus is fake, BUT media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC, as well as Vox have overblown the Covid-19 pandemic out of proportion. Fauci and certain key scientists working for kosher Red China created it via genetic engineering, in order to help things play further into their hands.

>>7364537
Shit like this is what literally half of America thinks

We are so irrecoverably fucked

>>7364524
Yeah, cause I trust my internet frens :D. Honestly I just wanted to make sure I got the better model of the two, which I ended up going back and getting the 39001 version since people said the 50001 version had a laser bug.

>>7364492
buy anything cheap they have and resell it to soilectors on ebay for profit at a high markup, burn isos and play those instead. This is the only smart thing to do given the opportunity.

>>7365019
I'm not much of a reseller, I just like to search for possible rare items and share them if I every find them. Also the network adapter is an IDE type which I didn't know about so I hope I still did good on it.

>>7365046
right now retards are paying like 100 bucks for even the most common basic bitch games stained with cat piss and without boxes or anything remarkable . It takes little skill to get a high price for any item at the current market right now but i would try to score any cheap thing you find in there and sell before the pandemic ends.

>>7364485
lol super nintendo, who plays this shit

>>7364469
>>10 years of your life
This guy is right. I needed 4 years to learn my first japanese word too. Check this out: ... nani? ....

>>7360016
>why fuck a woman when you can fuck a fleshlight.

that's how you sound right now.

>>7360198

Happy Console Gamers always struck me as violent white trash. Someone who would live off disability payments.

>>7365516

>>7365562
crtranny you have never either fucked a woman or will ever be a woman. Now go on ebay and buy some of my scalps, go on

>>7365562
It's the same ROMs on my flash carts, and some kaizo ROMs :-)

I do have legitimate copies of everything I play in the closet across the hall, because my bookshelves are filled with books.

>>7365883
>It's the same ROMs on my flash carts, and some kaizo ROMs :-)

Even /vr/ doesn't mind admitting to being a souless faggot these days.

>>7365889
>no no no, you can't have literally the same experience, you have to buy my resold shit otherwise its not soul reeeeee
Even coomlectors don't mind admitting is all about some fetish and not at all about the actual games

>>7365898
>Even coomlectors don't mind admitting is all about some fetish and not at all about the actual games

Strawman.

>>7365901
Look up the secondary definition of "fetish". That's what game cartridges are when you can fit the entire catalog in your urethra. The console doesn't care what sticker is on the board feeding it the same data.

>because my bookshelves are filled with books
Lmao the number of books actually worth reading don't even fill a shoebox

>>7365916
>A tranny justifying their soullessness

>>7365941
Something tells me you haven't even read enough books in your entire life to fill said shoebox

>>7365901
is not a straw man when you explicitly stated you don't care about the games or playing them but having the plastic

>>7359398
Probably won't change much.
Most collectors are neckbeard NEETs who never leave the house, so they will likely never catch the coof and die.

No, this is definitely a /vr/etard. Only posters from this cursed, in-bred board would take this bait. Their passion for the OGH/emu debate fuels their tard rage and is the only motivation they ever experience in life.

>go back to /v/, etc.
No one from /v/ or any other board gives a shit about the same handful a threads that pop up here daily. It's all you.

The prices of retro games in the US will plummet once the poverty sets in under the globalist regime. The prices and taxes on all food, energy, medicine, resources, etc is going way up, salaries and wages stagnated or down, automation and "risk" killing jobs, and the gubmint ain't giving you neetbux unless you're a minority. The ACA is coming back so you'll have to either buy an expensive shitty health plan or pay that tax penalty. No covidbux coming either.

If our new treasury sec has her way, she's going to tax game collectors on the earnings of their game collections as investments, meaning those copies of Little Samson or NWC are about to burn $$$ in collector's pockets. People are going to be trying to unload their game collections just to live and pay the heating bills. That will saturate the market with games that nobody can afford to buy, driving prices down.

GET FLASH CARTs AND ODEs
PIRACY is back on the menu, boys! Outlaws always win.

They're both cringe, but him dissing cabinets was more cringe than anything he could ever criticize the other guy of.

>98% recovery rate for anyone under the age of 70
>tens of thousands of deaths were from irresponsible democrat governors putting sick people in nursing homes
>tens of thousands more had 2-3 underlying causes unrelated to covid, some of which were assumed to have covid while never having had any bloodwork done to confirm it

I bet you also think the government doesn't put fluoride in the water.

>>7369478
Who gives a shit, not /vr/.
The fact that the modern world is so utterly irredeemable now PROVES most of humanity has no business breathing air.
Best to live by the code: Fuck the police!
Pirate your retro games, hack and mod, live like a king.
Fuck Amazon, Hulu, Disney, Netflix. The Pirate Bay and other trackers still exist.
Fuck Pornhub, and Onlyfans. Boorus and Exhentai and Pixiv are all you need.

If you have a crt and modded original hardware - and these are things easily and cheaply obtained - then prices don't matter and the quality of gameplay experience is identical. If $100 is expensive for you and you pay that for one 25 year old game, idk what to tell you, but you're definitely retarded

>>7369478
just two corrections here... 99% recovery rate, not 98%. also would like to add to your point about the average death as a result of 2.6 pre-existing conditions.// out of the first 250,000 "covid" deaths in the US, only about 9,200 were found to be as a result of covid and covid alone. for reference to show how minuscule that is, 12,000 people die in the US every year from asbestos poisoning. it's basically nothing.
>>7364463
people spent all their NEETbux and stimulus and stupid shit they didn't need. almost all retro prices went way up. i'm actually going to be selling my loose copy of super bowling for n64 soon and i'd be shocked if i didn't see at least $350 out of it.

>>7359459
Better get a 360 and games while they're dirt cheap. Perfect Dark Zero goes for 4 bucks on eBay
