I'm not actually a big fan of retro game collecting. Don't get me wrong, I love buying older games, but I'm against buying games solely on the grounds that they'll either look cool in my cartridge collection of +14 virginity or that I used to play them when I was a kid. I buy older games when I find them if I think they'll be fun to play now. I found a copy of Megaman X and played it with my friends and we had a blast, likewise Smash TV, the SNES Jeopardy game and my neighbor's copy of Shaq Fu. If it's older then the SNES, I just emulate buy it on the eShop since it'll be more reliable and won't require digging up an old console. The one exception to this rule is Pokemon Red, because god dammit using Mr. Mime to destroy my best friend just does not get old.
