I'm honestly desperate enough for some of these games that if they sold them in this condition but priced them properly enough to reflect their damages that I would honestly buy them, given that they would still play and work. I'm only into old video games for the purpose of playing them, not coomlecting them.

I don't pay faggot prices, but i tend to pick shit label games if the price reflects the condition. At least if i get some fucking covered in blockbuster stickers, i know i aint getting a bootleg. Plus, feels good giving these games a home. I like to sometimes buy games without labels, fun little chance to see what you get.

I managed to get a hold of an actually decent quality copy of Silent Hill 1 this way. It got it's priced reduced because it had the Hollywood Video label stuck on the cover of the disc and the inside of the manual was torn up and had water damage. From the outside though? The cover showed perfectly fine and the disc was in perfect quality in the original case. So from a "show front" perspective the case and manual looked perfectly normal with a fully functional disc, which I considered a blessing.

Sometimes weird stickers/labels are actually what make the game unique or give it a history. I took some shitty game shop's "warranty void if removed" sticker off of my super wide gear, and it left this "VOID" pattern (of course the sticker is tamper-proof, to show that the original had been removed and make it difficult/impossible to replace). But you know what? I actually think the VOID pattern looks cool, and now that my cunt finally told warranty fuckers to shove it, I can wear it as a big middle finger to all those fucking corporate snakes who shit this garbage into the world. Been thinking I should get a bart simpson sticker or something to put with it, maybe him flipping you off. Would go well with the vibe and era of release.

I prefer my labels and stickers to be as new as possible, but sometimes I buy used cartridges with marker writings from previous owners and I don't mind it. It really makes you think what history this game had.

Also, not a retro, but a few years ago I've bought a Japanese version of Custom Battler Bomberman for DS and on the inner side of the box, there was a tiny doodle of Bomberman head, drawn with a stylus or maybe a finger nail. You could only see it with the right lighting. I thought it was super cute.

They are not rare. I have had many Sonic 2 *not for resale* carts complete in box. I use to buy used Model 2 Genesis units quite often, and I would get Sonic 2 *not for resale* along with it. I have two copies right here. I use to pawn them off. They were packaged with the Genesis Model 2 in North America. It was the most popular bundle for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. If the cart with the Sega sticker plastered over the "not for resale" sticker is real. Then Sega even had overstocks of the not for resale carts.

Thanks for the appreciation. Sometimes I feel like people judge me, like they do with these worn label and badly damaged games. The game still contains all of the valuable data inside. And who's to say you shouldn't be paying 100$ for the Tony Poop cartridge? I bet the guy with that sitting on his shelf feels like a boss(mayor) because it became so famous. I bet there are even people with repros of this exact cartridge for /vr/ points when their friends come over to visit.

My take on it is that Tony wrote his name on his cart so that when he traded it to his schoolmate for another game there would be no question as to who was the rightful owner. The friend he lent it to wrote "poop smells" to troll Tony. Tony, being a clever bastard, amended it to "smells good" as a counter troll.

I have a small collection of Famicom cartridges which is like 70% kusoge. I have a strange affection for them, did reviews on some of these games back in the day and had to struggle with their shit (i.e. play it). Now it's just love-hate relationship. Bought Kamen Rider Club for kicking it around the house whenever I want.
But these games are dirt cheap usually, I wouldn't buy an expensive bad game. Probably.

I'd suggest getting a flash cart or ODE for disc based consoles. If you're just about playing the games, they really are fantastic and convenient, and you can use your original hardware if you wish.

That should actually clean up fairly well. Goo Gone will get rid of the sticker residue, and you can use a dry-erase marker to remove permanent marker. You just draw over the permanent marker with a Dry-Erase marker and then it will just wipe off.

Still not worth $85 bucks the way it is, but if the seller cleaned it up he could probably get something decent for it.

people were just easily jewed then. Giving away $60 games for $5. They had no idea this shit was valuable.

Millenials started working and suddenly had lots of money, and then they got interested in the games of their childhood.

>>7968204
>the real question is why on earth was the market ever as low as it once was?
Easy. Games were old enough to be yesterday's news but not old enough to be vintage or cool. Case in point: in 2008, EB Games was selling used, complete Gamecube games for $9.99 and entire consoles for $19.99. Nobody wanted a Gamecube, everyone was still lining up for a Wii. Gamecube was an outdated children's toy that had outlived its usefulness, the Wii was the hot new shit. Now every nigger and his dog wants a Gamecube and suddenly these things are worth a ton of money. Meanwhile you can easily pick up a used Wii for $20 and the games are $5-$10 tops. Similar story for the PS3 and X360.

>>7969472
Some of my N64 collection is made up of pristine carts and boxes that I kept as a kid, but most of it looks like this because I was picking up these "garbage" carts for $4-$5 a piece in the early 2010s when I "rediscovered" the N64. At the time I was a poor student and it was a good way for me to maximize the number of games I could play (I could get 5 games that looked like shit for $20, or one game that looked good for $20). Nowadays $20 is actually not a terrible deal for that.

I have a feeling that the 6th generation is the last series of consoles that will be truly collectible. By the 7th gen, you started to run into updates and other nonsense. It was increasingly acceptable to release games with bugs because, hey, you could fix them with updates. There will still be an element of collectability, but you'll be getting launch titles which may or may not have bugs and glitches that were fixed later. It sort of takes away some of the appeal.

8th gen stuff, with its always-on online bullshit and constant updates, is going to be more or less nothing but trash. Think about a game like Animal Crossing on the Switch, and think about HOW MUCH of the game is dependent on updates that were released after its release to keep the interest of the zoomies and their microscopic attention spans. In 20 years, you could buy a game cartridge, but unless you find a Switch with all the updates, the base game is not going to give you the complete experience. Meanwhile, Animal Crossing on the Gamecube is the same now as it was in 2002 (although the clock is ticking on that 2030 end date)

I think Wii will be collectible because it has a unique controller. Correct me if I'm wrong, but someone on /v/ said PS3 games are not on the Playstation store because they're hard to emulate or port to modern Playstation consoles. If that's the case, PS3 will also be collectable. Xbox does a good job of porting and enhancing their old games to new systems so I don't think 360 will be as valuable.

The constant updates will be the reason why physical discs are valuable because it has the unaltered game. Rockstar removed several songs and textures from GTAV through updates. You can only play that version of the game with the original disc.

I'm just giving the idea to people that might interest. Maybe someone will think "yeah maybe out of the 5 hours I spend on twitch everyday I could use 2 to learn something useful".
The first few months are a bit painful but after that you can just play videogames and learn at the same time.

What's wrong with you? This is the time to hold on to those things. I'll tell you from experience, my grandma kept around a lot of old toys, books, and movies and as a kid I loved getting to play with, read, and watch all that stuff. Not only did I get to hear about those things, I got to actually experience them, and that was a great family bonding experience. Don't sell off all your stuff, keep it and show it to your kid when they're old enough.

>coomlecting loose carts
This is why /vr/ makes fun of these people. A complete in box game is a nice thing to have and preserves gaming history. A loose cart is missing a lot of the item you're supposed to be collecting. The data on the roms can be replicated for free, so that doesn't matter. A loose cart in shit condition should be worthless. The fact that they're able to sell this shit for double digit prices or more indicates the market is at a peak.

Isn't it more accurate to say the world that you knew is now being more fondly appreciated by people who were also there, but who either could never afford it, or who gave it up to achieve success, and now want to revisit it? I mean, part of my fun with old games is playing the machines I never had when I was there.

I feel like the notion of "my past is being stolen from me" comes off too much as someone wanting to make themselves into a victim, or moreover, giving into nagging feelings of inferiority or self-doubt. I only make such assumptions, however, because not too long ago, I was the same way. I think I've improved myself a little bit since then, so I don't think as darkly anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if a website such as this had a lot of people who were still in that kind of zone, pic related.

It's honestly a mystery, as if no one who ever got candy from ebay knew that there was problem resolution tools. You'd have to be a retard to try and poison someone via ebay sales, as it would be easy to track the person doing it back to the source.

>le retro game shop opens up in my town
>they wanted $125 for a copy of Super Mario World, cart only

Needless to say that location is a barber shop now. Weirdly enough, the only game store who seems to know what the fuck they're doing is run by two very elderly women
