Message: [QUOTE="DietPepsi, post: 181745, member: 73697"] I've been collecting older games on and off for roughly around a decade, and it's honestly one of my favorite hobbies and is part of why I'm here in the first place. There’s something about tracking down a game that I used to rent as a kid, or finally hunting down a decent deal on a complete copy of something obscure, that's just unbeatable. Over the years, I’ve built up a neat lil collection across a bunch of systems. A good chunk of it, ironically, is mostly the consoles I emulate: PS2, PSP, SNES and GameCube. Some games I pick up purely for the nostalgia, others because the box art is just too cool to leave behind, and a few because they’re classics and I really wanted to own them before prices blew up. It’s a hobby that kind of adjusts with life, but I've always found myself coming back to it. Whether it’s hunting for hidden gems at a yard sale or scrolling eBay at 2am convincing myself I [I]need[/I] another game I can very easily emulate and save $40 on... there’s just something so cathartic about it. All this was to say, is anyone else here into collecting old games? Would love to hear what systems or genres you’re into, and/or what your favorite find has been! [/QUOTE]
