I blame Sony and the PS2, thats where retro collecting began for me, I never had a ps1 and now i could play some of the games id read about, this led to the thought "well, if im going to play ps1 games, i may as well play them on a ps1", im sure this was true for a lot of other people too, also around this time emulators were just getting to the point of good compatability/accuracy, so a lot of people played games theyd never even heard of before, then of course the Wii came along with its virtual console and things really took off! I hope its just a fad, maybe when its no longer "cool" to be a "nerd" lots of these people will get out of the collecting game... |

This has all irritated the crap out of me. I couldn't afford SNES games when they were cheap, I finally get disposable income and the market goes crazy. At least the Sega market has stayed low for the most part. I can get genesis games for next to nothing, and since there's very few "expensive" ones, no one even checks the value on them, so when i do find them I get them for $0.50 too :P (all my phantasy star games for example) |

If it does die down, I'll definitely get into SNES collecting. Right now, NES is all I can afford and since I don't have the same attachment to SNES as I do NES (with a handful of exceptions) it's the one I go with. That said, there are several titles on SNES that I'd love to get because they look fun to play but I don't really want to spend the big money on them (or emulate them) so I'll just wait for the proverbial bubble to pop. I've already overpaid for enough NES titles as it is. ;D |
