No sorry necessary, wasn't trying to be rude...
I see what you're saying Tanooki about not being able to get rid of a game... that's what I'm talking about, I am the same way...
Thanks for the insight goldenpp72, it's awesome just to get your hands on some of the old school games that were so illusive as kids. Fun to play and just crash and burn... Getting everyone together for a good gaming session is always fun.
I'm also think that games today are crappy... I mean, most of the clone games are... original stufff can be very cool and the graphics are killer.... but nothing will compare to kicking the crap out of dudes with blocky knees, elbows, and tornado kicks.
Haha, sounds like it was a slippery slope for you alekx...
I guess I was just getting at a more general approach to "collecting"... like, why would I buy Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt when I've already got a few? Well... because I know it'll go to a good home and know people who will appreciate it. Hell, I'll even beat the game a few times just for fun.... or... buy doubles of every game... or buy 18 controllers. To preserve the history is another way to look at it... some of this stuff is just sitting around in peoples basements, garages, and attics just waiting to be brought out again and enjoyed...
