With my buying a house very very soon, and marriage coming up in June, I have been really thinking about my priorities lately. Maybe some of you have noticed a behavior change in me regarding videogaming. Blame it on the above. Thinking about how much joy my NEO AES has given me for over 13 years, yet how crazy it is to own homecarts that cost > $200, or even upwards of $500-$600 (Garou, MSX) to name a few.
Now I'm not trying to make this sound like another pitiful crybaby woe is me thread about how expensive AES is. For those who have had AES for such a long time, there is, at least for me a strong emotional attachment to it.
Prior to finding this website, my most expensive AES game was Viewpoint at $150. I have bought at least $5000 worth of NEO AES games and hardware since. Much of it sold, and some rebought.
It seriously depresses me to think about selling even the most expensive games I have to embrace a senseful POV on the subject. That I could sacrifice the greatness of MSX NGH for the MVS version that costs 1/10th as much.
For those of you who left AES, because of cost to join the MVS camp or to be free of NEO forever, did you regret it, despite the cashout? If so, how did you cope?
I am asking this in all seriousness, not only for my curiosity, but maybe others here may feel the same way about themselves, on varying degrees.
Thanks.
