Retro Game Market Is Diseased

[Blessed Koala]

I had this in my feed and dude speaks some form of gospel as far as the retro game market is concerned.

shyt is becoming gross and alarming if you are a collector. I remember when I used to collect, copping PS1 games for like 5 to 10 bones.

Now these dikkheads trying to charge 100 dollars for a old ass game without the case and everything.

Emulation gang is all we got at this point

… I don’t want to part with one of my favorite games, but I brought it for $5 and that’s a nice return of what I spent on it.

Steam deck and emulation no problem

Man, if people don’t find a good 1-2TB download of every emulator/rom ever made up to PS2 or so and call it a day. There was no reason to buy “retro games” after like the year 2001 with the internet going strong at that time…

Been on that wave since 06 and haven’t looked back. I could careless about a shelf with a bunch of game cases, I was copping games left and right from EB games and shyt. In my era you earned stripes not from a collection but from what and how many games you finished.

I remember back in 2011, I copped a N64 and found a retro game store and nikkas was in there charging $75 for Ocarina of Time,
$100 for Mario 64 and $50 for Pokemon Coliseum and the OG Smash Brothers. I said got damn

This is why emulation is ethical.

It's sad, because I would love to collect Nintendo titles.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I stopped building my physical collection awhile ago for this reason. I'm sitting on some valuable stuff but not adding to the collection right now.

I still like using old hardware and peripherals so I have a modded Dreamcast, Sega CD and PS1 and a trusty old CD burner!
