Message: [QUOTE="Waffles, post: 4968, member: 703"] Yeah... that's precisely the thing. The SEGA Genesis was WILDLY popular where I am, and so people's entire gaming career would always be NES ---> Genesis ---> PS1, yet even those diehard collectors wanting to relive their childhoods by getting all three again wouldn't even consider grabbing a SEGA CD or 32X to complete the set. They just wouldn't. But those who did brave the overblown market and the inflated "retro" (ugh!) prices found the games hard to track down and the setup to be a pain in the neck, with one particular user complaining endlessly about the difficulty of finding a replacement AC adapter for the combo. At least you could pirate the hell outta SEGA CD games, though lol. Maaaan... the "rich friend who had all the cool gadgets" was such a staple of the times, wasn't it? XD Emulation was SO hard for SO long that it honestly rivaled Nintendo 64's for a long while, almost a pipe dream. [/QUOTE]
