Do you collect video games?

>>4158953
No. Only the games you bought before 2000 actually "count".

Cool belt in the picture though.

I used to collect shitty rare systems like the 3do , cd-i and Virtua boy but now I have a hard drive with every rom ever. It's much better lol

We have a bunch of classic game shops here in socal like game dude (heaven on Earth) but it's just much better to play Roms.

I used to be a "purist" but hardware tends to have tons of problems. Disgusting shit crusted controllers, broken disc drive rubber bands, burnt out caps, faded screens, non working cartridges, dead save batteries, etc. It gets to be a real pain in the ass. Then there's things like it being impossible to find CIB genesis games, non scratched disks, not to mention bit rot and the top film wearing off. CDs are really getting to a point where they're starting to fall apart from back then. Plus the hassle of setup it's a nightmare to have all those plugged in at once. A room full of bullshit vs one little drive. So yeah, fuck that shit.

Angry like someone who didn't care when other people didn't care about retro either, and the prices were $1 per game. Now retro attracts more attention, he's attracted too, but mad to see it's not cheap anymore.

Basically it's a bandwagoner who's angry with economics.

>> No.4159030

I want to, but only the ones I like and now I'm going to play. So not really collecting, more like just buying a product and using it.

I'm with this guy. I have big love for older games, but very little for old hardware.

>> No.4159062

I don't mind that retro games are fashionable now, I finally have something to talk about at my wife's son's birthday party.

fuck some of that is really true, don't know why people are collecting for the NES when they could be buying rare and good games for gen 6 and 7 for almost nothing RIGHT NOW

Nostalgia hasn't really set in too much yet. And it's not like there aren't some games that are already starting to take off in price.

I merely acquire games, though someone who doesn't know me personally may look at my acquisitions and mistake it for collecting.
