Default Anyone here collect retro games? (NES, SNES, Sega, etc)

I used to collect these when I was younger and have recently been bit with the bug again.. Anyone here collect any retro games such as Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega, etc?

I tend to want to get games for a variety of systems which can get expensive. I've seen people focus on one or the other trying to collect them all.

I still collect those, go to the flea market every 2 week and to some independent store to see if I can find some rare stuff

Sega CD, genesis, snes, nes, gamecube, dreamcast, saturn, Neo Geo.

Get an everdrive cartridge, it kinda kills the collecting

I don't go to a lot of flea markets anymore but try to scour what I can locally.

Most, if not all, of the old games can be found on roms but I still prefer the original cart

Peter: If you're a fan of the everdrive cart and want to unload some of your games I'd be happy to take some off your hands that I'm looking for

You gotta specific on what you title you want, old stuff is pretty vague you know

Got a few title of each console, only buying when I want to

Also into retro collecting.

Got a good quantity of games but not close to any complete collections.

Am going for full PS2 and gamecube before the price rockets (already has)

Yeah, I still collect some retro games (though I got rid of my entire "retro" collection years ago). I mostly now just collect for either the franchises or characters that I liked best as a kid -- collect retro of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Mario, Dragon Warrior/Quest and then any of the RPGs I played that I enjoyed too (pretty much all of them).

I'm not sure if the old games are becoming popular again but there seems to be a demand coming back for them. It seems like prices rise on some by the week.
