What is it about shooters that make them so damn expensive? Aren't a lot of them budget releases?

High quality games but fairly niche so most are fairly rare commanding high prices.

mega drive shooters aren't too bad in price theres a few that are really damn expensive but there are so many that are relatively cheap

Mod chip, mod chip or Goldfinger, Turbo Everdrive, Mega Everdrive.

Fuck the collector market. You want to play the games, you play the games. It would be NICE to have the original games, but hey, why deprive yourself of stupid amounts of money to play the games, or deprive yourself of enjoyment by not playing them?

It's nice to give yourself the option at least, that way you can hold out for good deals or the bubble to pop and still play the good stuff in the meantime

plus it's fun to mod consoles

actually I just bought one of those copies even though I don't own a TG16 cause I love me some Compile/Blazing Lazers, guess it gives me some impetus to buy a TG 16 now
