>So what if the game is infested with maggots and dust bunnies. You shouldn’t restore it, think of all the memories
Why do retro gamers constantly use this excuse to defend poor conditioned games.

When you have a giant collection of games you rarely play it's really easy to not clean them, but that sounds too shitty to be an effective excuse.

I have one cartridge I've never completely cleaned up because it has my name written on it in crayon from when I was 6. That's the one exception.

I’ve actually seen talked to people online who’ve said something similar. What’s the point of owning a game if you don’t want to restore it. Unless it was something you grew up with, there’s no reason not to clean them.

why don't you write on your current games with crayons so you can be sentimental about them too when you are 80?

People with good mental health typically clean and take care of the things they own

I was spending too much money on crayons, so now I just download a jpeg of the cartridge and draw on it in msPaint.

>this game boy cartridge spent 18 months up my bum when I was captured and detained in Afghanistan. I lost everything apart from super mario land 2 to those ragheads.

So am I going to have to kill a hitman and risk getting ass-raped by a redneck over it?

I bet you the fags that say that shit have games that are in very bad condition, and they're hoping everyone else doesn't maintain their games just so they won't be alone.

Well, I stopped giving a shit after 10 years of collecting. If there's a title I like even with a label that looks like it went through the Gulf War, then fuck it, I'll buy it. 9 out of 10 times he cart itself is immaculate apart from the torn label, so if I get to pay 5$ for a shitty copy opposed to $100 for a "good looking" one then well..

Y'all faggots.

$5 dollars for a NES cartridge with a perfect condition rom and a crappy torn label is a good deal.

[Anonymous No.5522321]

>>5522246
No, it isn't, because the supply of ROMs is infinite. The only value is in the sticker.

And apparently you miss reading comprehension.

[Anonymous No.5523918]

>>5523916
No one missed anything. Especially not your blatant insecurity about being an incel.

I'm not even the same guy, but you did read the part where he claimed not to be a virgin, right?
You know real incels are such an unfathomably small minority that they practically don't exist, right?

[Anonymous No.5523946]

Agreed. One thing I never liked is yellowing. People think it's a neat thing to have a piss yellow console. I personally like them whiter.
