This is the problem with physical collectors
You buy it put it on a shelf, snap a pic and hope someone can validate your shit purchases
No one cares. Literally no one.
Yeah, thanks for sharing.
I've just gone into my attic, where I thought I had a ton of games, but its just consoles and only certain games. I'll show you this though.
>Secret of Mana
Based, eurofriend. That poor PS2, though... Dust her off, set her up, and play something, bro.
>Dust her off, set her up, and play something, bro.
That memory card still has an "Epic" save for Champions of Norrath 2. Which was the online difficulty that you can't get anymore.
I wonder if that's worth extra money because of the save file, sort of like PS4s with PT installed.
Nah, that's just for me and my bro. We sometimes get together maybe once a year and play a ton of old classics like Secret of Mana, Champs, Legend of Mana etc.
Sounds cozy. I wish more games still had couch co-op/ split-screen. The only games like that which I still play locally with bros are Earth Defense Force games and shmups.
>Sounds cozy. I wish more games still had couch co-op/ split-screen
Same, feels so much better in person. We put a ton of hours together into Diablo 3 when it released on console, as it seemed perfect for couch-coop, but yeah the games are very few and far between for couch coop.
>I FRICKING LOVE TO CONSOOOOOOM
>LOOK AT ALL MY MASS MANUFACTURED POSSESSIONS
Cool, let's see it.
Yes, video games are all about consuming. Are you lost on boards or just moronic?
I found out I own a "rare" ps1 game, disc only. Should I hold on to it for longer or sell it now? Misadventures of Tronn Bonne
I'd say sell it now, unless you play still play it.
https://www.pricecharting.com/search-products?type=prices&q=the+misadventures+of+tron+bonne
Haven't played it in like a decade and I have no qualms about playing it on an emulator either if I got the itch. Just don't know if these things only go up or if it ebbs and flows.
The prices have mostly leveled out, I think. I recently sold my Panzer Dragoon Saga (CiB, good condition) for about $950. It's been around the 900-1000 mark for at least a year now. If Tron Bonne goes up at all, it probably won't be by much, and just because sellers put the "buy it now" price at $150+ doesn't mean it will actually sell for that much.
The games, on a whole, will always go up unless there are reprints. Supply will not ever get bigger and demand will only increase.
supply will never increase for sure but the demand can and likely will go down. a "rare" ps1 game means a lot to a current 30/40 year old who played it as a kid but its meaningless to people younger/older than that. as the appropriate market ages out, I think demand (of any specific era) will die.
The market could also crash when more and more retro games succumb to bit rot/ disc rot. Tengen games for the Genesis and Sega's Saturn games are notorious for low quality components/ presses.
>Doesn't realize how many zoomers and gen alphas unironically want to own copies of Pokemon and Gameboys just because they're so "RETRO CLASSIC" and all their favorite youtubers won't stop talking about them
The problem is they have no money to afford anything.
I'm glad I got games like God Hand, Einhander, and Elemental Gearbolt back in the day for like $30 each, now they're $200+. They're fantastic games but no disc-based game is worth that much. Hence why I'm happy with my bootleg copy of Border Down for the Dreamcast.
Why are so many of these games sealed? Did you never play them? What's the point in buying a game if you're not going to play it? To put on a shelf?
I keep them in baggies to prevent shelf wear and mitigate oxidation/humidity (though I live in a dry enough region, but you never can be too careful). Takes mere seconds to take a game out and put it back when you're done playing. I've gotten used to it.
I like handhelds
Based. Gonna get the 'eck at some point?
Nope!
I might when/if the higher storage space ones drop to $400. Until then, I'm good, and if they don't, I can live without one.
>Wonderswan
do you know Jap?
I tried to get into physical video games but I just don't get it.
I bought Resident Evil 4 Remake, because I like the original alot. So I can play Resident Evil 4 (2005) on PS5, as well as Resident Evil (2023). Except the new one I need to put in a piece of plastic.
It's just very odd.
>I tried to get into physical video games but I just don't get it.
Some people just like to have tangible objects of the things they enjoy.
I really wish I didn't sell my copy of Dicing Knight for the WonderSwan. Got it in the late 2000's for $70, sold it in 2012 for $300, and now it goes for thousands. Shame on me.
I sold Rule of Rose for $150.
That's an ouch. I sold Blood Will Tell back in the mid 2000's for under $20. Frick me sideways.
>jap shit
cringe
Most of the moonspeak titles are shmups, idiot. The purest form of challenge there is in the vidya. Also, anime website.
>subhuman amerifat
>is to poor to buy amerifat games
cringe
>implying Amerifat games as a whole are good
Most imports, especially oldschool stuff (and some new stuff), fetch much higher prices than Amerifat games.
you are fricking delusional nobody cares about jap shit thats why amerifats are rather buying this useless jap shit retro game instead of the 300 bucks ntsc copy lol but op is even more stupid and just buying useless ps4 jap shit lol what a fricking braindead moron
the whole point of retro jap shit is ONLY nintendo stuff and this mongoloid subhuman amerifat moron just buys jap shit to sit on his shelve and never play it loooooooooooool
OP is the definition of cringe
Amerifats are so fricking braindead its surreal
>thats why amerifats are rather buying this useless jap shit retro game instead of the 300 bucks ntsc copy
The only games where it pays off to buy American versions of Japanese games is JRPGs, which I have barely any of, and none of unless action RPGs count. I don't play turn-based slop, I haven't since high school/ college. Otherwise, you save a lot of money by just getting the Japanese versions of games like shmups, because the prices of western versions are ridiculous.
they only games that are worth something from your collection are the nintendo games
metroid zero mission
astro boy
the castlevania games
if they are all
you only collect jap shit because it's cheap and anyone who is into retro games can really tell you don't want to pay ntsc prices i get it but collecting worthless jap shit just to display it is really really cringe
Except I actually play my Jap shit, you presumptuous homosexual. Especially the shmups.
>95% of all games are shrink wrapped
>EXCEPT I PLAY MY GAMES
no you fricking don't cringelord
>he doesn't know about the prices for sought-after games on the PS1, PS2, and Saturn
I keep them in resealable bags to prevent shelf wear/ oxidation/ humidity damage, you colossal homosexual. It takes a few seconds to remove a game/ put it back, but that's it, and the pros outweigh the cons. It's literally the opposite of shrink-wrapping.
sure thing troony whatever mental gymnastics make you sleep better at night lol
Didn't it take forever to seal them all up like this though? I feel like if they're on the shelf most of the time anyway you don't really need the bags
Unless you meant the amount of time to put them all into baggies/ odd-shaped external cases (e.g. Genesis, US Sega CD/Saturn boxes, Switch, PSP). Maybe about an hour altogether, paced myself and did it over the course of a few days.
You know, something I have noticed between Ganker shelf threads and Ganker physical collection threads is that people who prefer the digital medium are shunned over at Ganker whereas it's the standard on Ganker
I wonder why that is
>people prefer the digital medium
you're fricking delusional too, this site is like 80% subhumans which are living in third world conditions ofc they "prefer" digital
thats all they can "legally" buy and the other stuff they pirate
any sane human prefers physical or is just pirating
DeathSmiles made me happy to see. That was one of the last games I got for my 360. Lots of other shmups I recognize. I can't collect games like this though
You should play GunDeadLigne if you want something similar with left/right firing. You'll have to pirate it since the dev decided to be a homosexual and deleted all of his games from Steam for some reason, including Gundemonium, Hitogata Happa, and Bunny Must Die.
Takes 3 seconds to remove them, 3 seconds to put them back. Prevents shelf wear, oxidation, and humidity from affecting the discs/ carts.
