/vr/ - Retro Games

>How has it affected you individually?

Fucking wanting Mario Kart 64/Mario Party 3 and people asking $100+ for each because 'hurr rare collectors retro'. I've been to markets and people admitting that the prices are high because 'that's what they go for on ebay'.

Fucking quick-money schemed resellers.

>How do you cope with the rising prices?

Learning Japanese right now so I can just buy all the games/consoles from Japan because that shit is cheaper AND better quality.

Sometimes I might find the odd decent pricing for a game every once in a blue moon.

>Do you think prices will actually ever go back down?

Hard to say really. We're in an age of gaming where originality isn't much a thing anymore. Almost every genre thinkable has been made/invented and rehashed. Look at the Original Xbox and PS2 games, most of them have been selling for peanuts for a solid 5 or so years and they'll probably stay that way unless the next gen of consoles takes shit to the next level (Virtual Reality I'm guessing) and those old 6th gen games start rising because "they're collectables and super rare now!". When that happens N64 and PS1 games might finally drop down. I'm referencing what that other guy said about Atari games at one stage once they became old enough for not enough people to care about them.

N64 is probably experiencing the worst of this bubble right now, some of the prices are totally ludicrous (any mario party, anything AAA or by Rare).

But all we can do is hold each others hands and pray /vr/others.

Thanks for the tip. Akiba-games is good for rare titles and consoles but they're not always cheap.

>yfw /vr/ actually stands for Virtual Reality and your life is a lie

>Check the ghouls vs humans mod just for curiosity sake
>look at the weapons for the human faction
>mfw

Good lord these weapons are fucking cool. There's a pretty functional grappling hook, various boomeranging weapons, and some pretty neat sidearms with infinite ammo. I gotta start taking notes from this shit

>Favorite course
Bowser in the Dark World or Tall, Tall Mountain
>Worst course
Tiny-Huge Island or Snowman's Land
>Hardest star
I remember the last time I played through, Elevator Ride in the Volcano was giving me hell for some reason.

>suddenly get the urge to play Super Mario Bros. on NES
>Jump out of bed and plug in NES
>Go to my collection of NES games
>pull out SMB/Duck Hunt
>Insert it into NES

Has /vr/ ever had the late night craving to play a game, even if it interrupts their sleep?

Also, Mario general I guess.

Maybe I can finally remember the game I've been looking for that I remember playing as a kid

>For PS1
>Kind of like a Puzzle Game
>You're a man walking on a floating platform that kinda reminded me of steps/escalators
>Steps light up
>You can fall screaming off the platform to your death

does this ring a bell to anyone?

Oh jeez

You're stuck in the universe of the last retro vidya you played. You can only get back to your world by completing said game 100%. Not just just beat all the levels, but also collect every collectible, discover every secret, get every item ect. ect.

What was the game, and how fucked are you?

Pic unrelated.
