Do you still collect retro games?

[Brad P]

I've been trying to collect more retro games, just because I have a fond memory for them, and because one day, I would like to have a collection to give to my children. I would love to get to a point where I have a room dedicated to just video games. With tvs for old consoles, tvs for new consoles, and so on. I'm trying to build up a NES, SNES, Genesis collection right now.

 

[Naiwen]

Yes I do.

No, but it would be a fun hobby to get into, like collecting vinyl. Anyway, I always enjoyed several of the old classics and was alive when they came out!

Oh I have tons of them! I'm trying to gather as many retro consoles and games as I can.

I'm an avid collector, most definitely. I've got around 40 systems at the moment and in the midst of a move I've somewhat lost count of how many total games, but that's a slightly misleading number as there was a point in my early days of collecting when I would grab any game I saw, whether it was good or not, so I've got countless garbage titles mixed in with my now more refined collecting tastes where I buy the games that actually interest me.

 

[Abizaga]

I'm curious how far back that collection goes.

 

[Jayson]

I'd like to get into that collecting - along with collecting records (vinyl). It sounds like so much fun. Anyway, though, so many retro games are so boring - due to the primitive graphics and/or other things.

Oh vinyl would have been cool. Could grow a jazz/swing collection.

I love jazz drumming - playing and all.

Nice. Have you been to new orleans?
