I've been purging a bunch of my old life as of late, and I've managed to sell the lion's share of what I had to get rid off. I've decided to hold on to a very few things as they carry large sentimental value for me...but I'm beginning to wonder if that's a dumb idea with VG systems. I'm mostly looking at this Looong term, like 20-30 years from now.
I have a single CRT left, a sufficient mid 2000's 20-something inch RCA. When that dies, I won't have much left to hook the remaining systems to. I've kept my NES and SNES and a handful of games for them both.
I'll say that I have teh romz, so I don't even play the two systems I have anymore, I'll just play those titles on the Retropie when the mood strikes. I'm not much for fixing electronics, so re-soldering/replacing board components isn't exactly something I'm going to want to do.
I wonder how long an original NES will last? How about the games? is there a life span for a NES/SNES ROM cart?
If they'll eventually fall apart to the point where they're not usable, I might consider selling them now when I can get $$ out of them.
Anyway, just spitting out randumb thoughts...
