i think this is my biggest question mark at the moment. ive already got so many newer games i will never play, am i really going to want to go back to 40 year old games just cause i missed them 40 years ago lol
well, maybe, considering all games nowadays are just gambling machines. so playing a game that is just designed to be a game and not a moneysucking machine might be worth it
I go back and play old games all the time. But I emulate them. I still have some of my old systems and games, but it's just easier to fire up a handheld or retroarch and play them that way instead.
That said, there's plenty of people who go and hook up their old systems and play those games. It used to be a pain in the ass because newer TVs wouldn't play well with old hardware, but all you need now is an upscaler.
And LOL at paying insane prices for old video games. If you insist on using the original hardware, just get an everdrive cart or whatever. But I'm always happy to sell somebody one of my old games for hundreds of dollars- thanks for funding that new PC!
