Lost A Lot Of Classic Gaming.
9 years ago
General
I had not talk about this on any of my Journal but some one said I should ask anyone here for some help in putting my collection together. Hers the back back story,
Many of you know Im a huge gamer in classic and retro gaming from the old Atari to the new Xbox but Im more an old school gamer but things had happen to me in the pass years. some of you know that back in 2014 my old roommate Keanu passed away and I had to move out to a cheaper rent place and doing so many of my old stuff had to be left behind and many got lost or worst stolin and alot are my old gaming stuff.
At first I didnt mind losing my old stuff seeing I had just lost my best friend and was not in the mood on older games stuff but now years passed and its so hard to fine any older gaming stuff that I lost and at worst having this sick feeling of may never see them again. Many things are holding me back in trying to buy them again but you already know I just moved and need to pay back all the commission art to already payed folks here and else where also living on SSI dont help out as well.
Some try to send me stuff but I never gave a full list oif what Im missing and now I thing I should post a WISH LIST of missing games and systems if anyone here has any of them would like send any to me I would be grateful.
Also knowing I lost many of my older system I was thinking maybe I should take down this photo of my older collections but some oen said its an older photo and its still okay to leave it there so heres what Im missing and looking for:

Am sure there is a few in there you needs
It does make for an interesting conversation to debate on what route to take, these days. Sure, the traditional route is to get everything original. But, why are you collecting these games for? Is it for the pride of having a ton of physical things from your childhood? Is it to have that unique artwork and things to hold on to? Is it just to actually play the game? A combo of these? Something else, like a connection with a cherished memory? After all, we have emulation options open for just playing the games. (Still, not all titles work like they should. Plus...the legality.) And, you don't have the problem of creating a personal museum's worth of space for the stuff and needing deep pockets for some of the outrageous prices that are to be found out there. After all, I've been watching Mike from Cinemassacre dig up these classic Game Boy titles that are fetching some outrageous prices. (Like CIB's that clear $700. So...understandable that GB boxes are uncommon, due to the nature of the beast. Yet, I had no idea that any GB titles were fetching such prices.)
However, I'm hardly one to be pitching the emulation scene. Think my 'emulation' extends outwards to a few Jakk's Pacific Plug 'n Play's, a Retron 5 (And that needs the original carts) and a pirate CD full of NES that I got as a bonus for getting the final browser generation for the DreamCast. I'm still heavy on the real medium side. And space is tighter then ever. I do justify the cost of the storage space for things that I do get to and can't be stored in any other way. But, for how long? And...well, I haven't touched most of it in ages. I really am being tempted to go crazy on collecting everything via emulation and just rid myself of all this physical bulk. Now, if I do opt to do that while the nostalgia craze is keeping prices high? Who knows.
After all, I've had my Tengen's Tetris out in the field via the portable NES in the last six months, right along with the NES Gyruss. I tried for a thorough Crystalis play-through in the last year and kind of ran out of interest. I can easily see never diving back into any of the four Dragon Warriors. Suppose there's a good reason to hang on to the Commodore 1702 for use with those zapper games. And heck...I've just added several Atari 2600 titles in the past month, alone. So...guess I haven't made that decision to save on the space with emulation, just yet.
Then again, what have I been really playing, recently? Well...a lot of digital download. Just went through that 'A Wolf Among Us' set this week. PvZ never fails to draw me in. Got a few coin ups in on some virtual pinball. Just worked on installing GTA V for the X-Box One because, despite already having it for the PS4, Sony has an awkward solution to a full HDD. And, maybe I'll get around to sampling that Mighty No. 9. (Though, I am seeing some 'meh' reviews. So...who knows.)
