Why do people pay so much for retro games? You can just emulate them so easily and for free.

    A game you can't play isn't a game. It's just colored plastic.

    They want to physically own the game, it's not just about playing it. There's no other way to explain it, if you don't get it then you don't get it.

    My 40 year old autistic brother collects retro games.

    I gave him my copy of project justice on the Dreamcast without realising I could sell it to CEX for over £150 and the homosexual won’t give me back the game to sell it off.

    Retro collectors are fricking stupid.

      Why you gotta be anal about it? If he cares more then he was meant to keep it.

        He doesn’t like the game. He’s just keeping it because reasons.

        Personally I think he’s just trying to find a purpose since our mom died. He was a huge momma’s boy.

      You inadvertently proved that you're stupider than your autismo brother.
      I hope he flaunts it in your face when he's 50 and the price has gone even higher. You deserve it for being such a homosexual.

    Been selling my old stuff to these morons on ebay. The prices they pay are ridiculous and I don't care to keep them either way. Thankfully no shipments to Israel yet.

    I like playing games on their original hardware.
    Emulation just takes something out of the experience for me.

    If I have to pay $300 to play a game then that's what I have to do.

    Most I've ever paid for a game was $350.

      As previously stated, you can just burn the rom onto a blank disk. Spend your money better moron

        I like owning the game.
        Some people collect baseball cards or anime figures, I collect video games.
        Having a blank disc with a rom on it wouldn't bring me any satisfaction.

    Habitually buying games all their life, but now they buy them to collect instead of play.
    It's a cry for help if anything.
