I love sharing the results of my retro video game hunts online. For ages, I watched others do so; I now find great fun in being able to take part myself.
Have you ever wanted to own a gun without “actually” owning a gun? How about those cool guns you play with on Call of Duty and Counter-Strike?
Sam takes us behind the scenes of a super-secret game collecting club and the crazy things you can find... and taste?
"Whether you are a collector or not, if you enjoy any classic/retro games, everybody has a reason for going back to the games of our youth for some reason. Have you missed out on any games or systems you found later, only to yell to the gods asking, "Why did I miss this the first time around?" " - Kevin Schaller
My collection is EXTREMELY small, but I would die if I lost my neon Nintendo sign in a flood or somesuch.
Very true. A lot of consoles are becoming harder to come by unscathed these days, and I can attest of this through my travels around the web and to different stores over the past few years. It's actually been quite fun. Thankfully, I'm becoming better at repairing. Well, here's hoping more gamers come to the rescue.
Oh, and not gonna lie, I about had a heart attack when I saw the state of those gaming consoles pictured. Sheesh.
Started my collection long ago, and it's fairly sizeable, thankfully.
Given the state and direction of gaming currently? Retro is the only future I have in gaming, until this industry burns to death and is reborn again.
Retro collecting is great fun in its own right, just all the more reason to get into it these days.
