Do you ever miss the box art and carts hanging around?
Many times I have asked myself that same question.
I started buying 16BIT games again, on Christmas 2007. It had been many years (since 1998) that I had forgotten that generation of video games.
Since then, I have never stopped collecting this material (especially MEGA DRIVE, SUPER NINTENDO and NEO-GEO)
I have sold many times and I got rid of many things during these past 12 years, I have earned a lot of money with it and I do not regret anything. But there are always a handful of games (the most beloved) that I buy again. I always have that need to re-possess the material that I personally like best about each console.
Sooner or later, I always remember my favorites again. Therefore, I never recommend selling those most beloved games, even if they are only a handful of cartridges. If you liked having them at home for a time, you will always remember them. I am speaking from the point of view of a collector.
However, if the only thing that interests you about all those old games is to play them, I think it is best to sell everything. Today there are many ways to access those games, it is not necessary to collect.
In my case, physically possessing these games is like owning certain memories of 1992 and my childhood. I don't care if when this dies, nothing happens, I will have enjoyed it.
