Why must retro gaming cost so much :( repro's will bankrupt me.

I know the feeling.

JakeHC:
Wow they look pretty sleek and sexy.

There's so much to consider haha. I don't even really need the games, I really should be saving for other things but damn. I think it's these covers that makes me want games. Shenske's cover of Earthbound Zero makes me drool.

And the Retron is better? ??? (On second thought, don't answer that. I feel like a snarky reply would come from that question :P )

I don't think I ever posted pics of the revised paint (the gray was just meant to make Photoshopping different colors easier. Changing white to anything else is a nightmare).

(hint: the Retron is way uglier)

I wish. That project was a TAD overly-ambitious. Had the prototype made, which looked great, but putting it into production was just WAY too expensive :(

JakeHC:
That's a shame Wiggy, it looked really nice. Yeah, the retron isn't the most beautiful looking consoel, but it does a hell of a job from what I've seen, but so does my computer but the feel just isn't the same.

I wish the guy that Arseen let me know about would respond sooner, I'm going to miss the sale at this rate :(

Maybe, but when it came out I remember thinking about how awesome it looked.

That's true for just about any console. When they first come out I love the looks, but very few consoles have aged well in terms of styling.
