Title: Anyone a Classic Video Game Collector?
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on February 05, 2010, 03:25:10 PM
Anyone else enjoy collecting the classic video games? You know for systems such as Atari 2600, NES, SNES, or any other pre-PS2 system?
 
I find much enjoyment in it. Hunting for the older games is half the fun. The feeling I get when I find some gaming goodies at a flea market or a thrift shop just makes me feel good.

Nope, you don't have as much incentive to look for old games these days when you can just download most of them on Wii's Virtual Console.  Of course there's something to be said for having the actual cartridge, but I think most people just want to play the game.


I did hunt down a classic PC game I wanted to play one time called Terminal Velocity (well "hunt" is maybe too strong a word, it wasn't very hard to find on eBay).  Had to run it in a DOS emulator and everything.

while I don't really chase after them anymore (after people tried to rip me off) I still enjoy my classic stuff and am not parting with it

I have part ownership of a SNES console and Full ownership of another :D

Donkey Kong 1, 2, Mario All Stars + World, TMNT, Donald Duck, Mario Kart, Tetris + Dr Mario, plus more :P

Well, I've half-inherited the SNES from my Mum and Dad, with Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Starwing and stuff like that.
I have only ever 'hunted' 1 game, and that was Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the SNES. Not that it's hard to find on the net, but this was a few years back and me buying anything online was a no-no.
