Hey Greedo, which PCE game does your signature come from? I've been trying to collect all the game graphics of video games.
Please don't make more shitty frontends.

Being a collectard just isn't cool any more.
There are 3 types of collectors/gamers that I see.
Hoarders that rarely/never play (collectors, spend more time researching games/prices than playing games)
Gamers (those who enjoy playing more than collecting, will game any way possible but normally prefer real hardware)
Tinkerers (those who collect normally hardware to tinker and mod them, bring them back to life)
IMHO the type of gamer/collector is pretty universal across gaming communities. One of my worlds is pinball, and we definitely have the exact same types there.
The pin collectors always fascinated me more than the autistics that hoarde console games.
Even without nes contra prices taken into consideration, the fact that there are people who presently collect "games" for the tiger R-Zone is a sure sign that the only thing that matters is the fact that "collectors gonna collect".
Might as well add Atari Jaguar
Come ooooon!
It has an handfull of cool games for it! Not the worst console there is. I still like it.
Way more than the 32x in example.
It never was IMHO.
2600 and PC games have fallen like a rock in this time period. SMS and Genesis stuff had doubled but now have fallen down a little. Japanese Saturn is still really low also. Plenty of options for collectors or players alike. When one type goes up, you just shift to something else.
Japanese saturn is effing insane. There not a single shmup or rpg i want under a Ben. Most are in the 200 range or more.
No one buys Japanese RPGs, do they? When I had a Japanese Saturn 90% of the RPGs were worthless because they're unplayable without knowing Japanese.
This may change, once people discover that they can build-in English patches into original Japanese carts and play them.
Won't you still have to burn a new CDR with the patched game (or mod the console to run games from an SD card) to play it?
Kind of defeats the purpose of buying the original copy since you won't be playing it anyway.
A friend of mine bought an original Japanese King Colossus cart with an English patch inside. Plays fine on his Japanese Mega Drive. What do you mean by saying he won't be playing it anyway? The game's a masterpiece, worth playing for the OST alone.
I was talking about Saturn RPGs above, so a patch would have to be a rewritten disc and not affect the value of an original copy.

Which JRPG is Greedo talking about? The only expensive one I noticed from Japan is Shining Force 3.
