I don't have a fake Rolex.
I could never in a million years bare to look at a rare and exotic game in my collection, only to have it taunt me and whisper the word "fake" into my ear.
Others love it! Numbers on the rise!
I play the games for the games not the cart, not the value, not anything like that. Yes, I have tons of shit, that's a problem, I know! I love too much shit and thus I end up with way too much of it.
Emulation is awesome 'cause it's just the games, no riff raff, no bullshit, although I do love the art in some games, also the arcade environment is awesome, can't be replicated with a console nor a computer but a mame setup in a cab comes close, the problem always falls on tearing issues and graphical discrepancies, which is why I prefer to play emulation in a computer setup as opposed to in a cab but I'm friendly to multicarts and bootlegs, 'cause I don't really care about authenticity, I just wanna play the game, if I can appreciate the art in some way then that's a bonus.
Collectors...not me...it may seem that way 'cause I have too much crap but I'm far from it. I'd like to think I'm a enthusiast, I love the stuff and like to get it in different formats but not for the sake of collecting...hey I used to hate on video game collectors 'cause I couldn't understand their fascination for a god dam cart but I'm more open to understanding that everyone has the right to get their games for whatever reasons they see fit, every single person that enjoys video games for whatever reason, knows full well whether they're being dumb or not, deep down inside they surely know the answer, let them have their own demons to deal with, I'm done caring for video game collectors being what they are.
