Current day prices
Urggh. I have really early games like FF1, AOF1 that are basically as new, paid probably a bit more because of it - but imo they are rarer in that condition than any motw
As for slug 2/x
Never getting those back I guess

Getting a nice FF1 is a real chore. For some reason the plastic cover is hardly ever uniform across the top edge... so thirty years of exposure is going to damage any insert really.
Amazing how many early games are missing their manual as well. Weird.
Still, I look at that pic above and can't help but think I have too much crap... and I really don't have that much.

I've never owned more than say - 70 games total, got rid of what little retro collection I had and just have the best of the old, and new now. Seeing people's sprawling retro rooms with boxed GameCubes, Wiis etc does nothing for me at all. I love the fact the only games I own are those above.
I'm pretty sure Patrick Bateman would have a similar setup in the 90s

How do you feel about walls full of vinyl records?

Actually on reflection most of the stuff I've got outside of Neo-Geo has been bought and kept since it was contemporary... I think it probably looks like more than it is because of all the hardware. I'm not a fan of emulation so I have a lot of original hardware, but not necessarily an awful lot of games for each system.
Saturn and PC Engine are the two systems I've grown fond of in later years, but even now I only own a few dozen games for each and I don't think there's any other titles I reallly really want for either of them.
I think you're right though. About Bateman. I think he would have been the first to start using cart protectors as well. But not for the same reason as some of the collectard dicks that we occasionally have to put up with here. Bateman's balls would definitley not have been in his closet.

I moved about eight years ago and couldn't bring them with me. The money went into hifi so it wasn't too painful. Worth about double now including the PCBs but ehh
Might get a vewlix if I get a bigger place, but I'm not too bothered tbh

Dump it all, get a vewlix with an X3 Multi and never look back.

Except that digital tastes nicer than vinyl, after saying that I will always keep my Discharge vinyl, I bought Why the day it came out. Wow what an EP that is.
Lovely collection Kernow, my AES collection has always been Japanese only although mine has slimmed down to about 10 favourites.

I'm the same. A couple of years ago I dragged the old CRT I had in my room as a kid at my mom's house to my place. After setting it up in my home I almost instantly regretted it. Within a couple of months I took it back to my mother's home. :P

I do have room filled with retro stuff but to be honest. I'm seriously considering getting rid of everything after the Dreamcast. I just don't give a shit about that. I just to lazy to set up all the sales. But If I'm seeing how much wii u stuff is going for these days. I should really get off my arse.

Good advice. Every cab will reduce dating success by ~50%.
