/vr/ - Retro Games

>Pic related, my copy of EB

So I spent $190 on this, and the quality was fairly perfect (no rips on either label, glistens in the sunlight). I got it way before it came out to wii U by the way, but of course you faggots are going to criticize me for paying so much on 2 decade old hardware. Are you niggers fucking serious?

>Idiot its 10 bucks on Wii U
So you're literally asking me to shell out fucking 300 FOR A FUCKING WII U and an extra 10 just to play an emulated version of the game with a save state funcion to promote cheating...? Nice autism.

>could have emulated
Again, you faggots are asking me to shell out 3 grand on a computer that will be adequate for only 2 years just to fucking emulate Earthbound on a 99% accurate emulator?

My point is, fuck off and don't bash on me or other people that invest in physical retro vidya. At the end of the day, my investment was far better as I spent a considerably less amount to play EB, AND not to mention it was on real hardware outputting rgb into a CRT. I spent less money and played it at its peak performance, so again, fuck off into space.

You think I'm stupid that I don't know what repros are? I opened it up and validated that it was legit. You're so fucking stupid.

Dude, if you spend less than 3k the computer will become obsolete even faster. My 400 bucks machine was useless three weeks after the purchase.

Why the hell did you bother making a thread if all you were going to do is complain about what people MIGHT say? This is a shit thread and it won't lead to any worthwhile discussion, it's just you projecting insecurity all over the place.

well you could also use a PC to do other things like play thousands of other games or work from home or etc.

while earthbound I guess if you don't play it you could use it as a coaster or a door jam or something

i've never noticed that after seven months of reposting that image...

i wish the original guy would come back and tell us how many millions of dollars he made...

he posted this too, which led us to make fun of him having a picture of his sister, usual 4channery

Don't listen to /vr/. It's like finding that Wii U for $60 and then everyone on /v/ making fun of people who spent $300 on it, claiming that they got it for $60 and anyone else overpaid.

If you find something for super cheap it's because it's not a common occurrence. eBay may be inflated, but it's the most common method of obtaining the more elusive titles.

That being said, I think you did slightly overpaid, considering a bundle with that and the guide goes for about the same. Nevertheless, I guess it's more about the condition of the cartridge rather than what it comes with.

I just noticed it cause the PC Engine is probably one of my favorite platforms. I actually saw it before I saw the carts.

[Anonymous No.2099493]

Clicked on the thread and read it, thought I was on /vr/. Was horrified at the thread content and replies and how shitty the board had become.

Then I realized I was on /v/. Crisis averted.

Until I realized that I actually was on /vr/.

Disgusting.

I'm with you OP, these people just don't get us.

>3 grand on a computer that will be adequate for only 2 years
Not only that, but you'll need to buy a HD CRT computer monitor which will cost 2 grand alone, and pay one grand to have your own crew of expert hackers to create a anti-piracy patch for that pesky end-game wipe bullshit.

Buying retro stuff is cool, but I set a limit of like $60 for old games. Yeah it severely limits me if I wanna get a really expensive game, but I can't really justify it.

Nobody's (that matters) is gonna care if you collect games and bought an expensive game though. Unless it's Magical Chase, where most people that buy it probably just never play it and they pass around like the same 3 or 4 copies (the game isn't that spectacular anyway).

If you pay a lot for a game you're basically just a collector at that point which is fine, but I personally can't really stomach paying that much.

It's a great game tho.

>smartphone

Which costs even more than a Wii U..., dude. Unless you want to play it 10 fps on an older model smart phone. Did you read the op kiddo?

[Anonymous No.2099516]

>>2099512
> 10 fps
we are talking about fucking earthbound not half life or gta on a smartphone.

>collector

Please, that word is disgusting. Id rather use the word library. I dont buy every game I see, I only possess a library of vidya that I consider are great games, and they are all games that I invest time into (I just beat EB and moved on to Illusion of Gaia).

[Anonymous No.2099520]

>>2099517
Why is that offensive exactly if I might ask? It only implies you collect things, nothing more really. There are different kinds of collectors - those that play the games they collect, and those that don't.
