Might I ask (since according to Phosphor Dot Fossils I can't come out and say it) what the point of posting that was? You are letting us know what of your old collection that you no longer own anyway you can remember offhand?

Thanks?

Chris

[Bronty-2]

seriously dude. And don't sweat it, you can buy those back later anyway.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Buy this stuff again!!!, c´mon man!!!, you´re in USA, the paradise of retrogaming!!!...

I´ll be waiting for the pics of the collection!!!

Well, actually, doing this has helped me to remember them, I mean actually recall how they played and all that. I think one day I'll get a few of them back. The one system I really want to acquire again is a Sega CD...with Snatcher...but the cost is so high (yeah...yeah...I know, I got a PSP...should've saved the money and I could've bought everything back). I seriously think that if I said how much I let a lot of this go for, you would all laugh hysterically at me.
I laugh too...a small, bitter laugh.

check the weekend find threads chances are somebody here might have bought your collection :)

[Trevor Belmont]

I think maybe rayearth posted this to reminisce ... maybe to see if other people were or are in the same boat as he is? I don't want to speak on his behalf, but I'm guessing that's why he posted.

In that case, I feel his pain. I've recently had to buy back a lot of my collection because I foolishly sold it before. This included a Turbo Duo with games like Beyond Shadowgate, a Saturn with games like Dragon Force, Guardian Heroes (I remember buying this at Media Play for $10 when they were clearing the Saturn games out), and and Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Playstation games like Suikoden. I've bought a majority of the games back since then, but ended up paying much, much more in the process.

In other words, don't sell your collection!

[fishsandwich]

I think I'll post my entire collection so I can get some more Meseta points. Whatever they do.

:D

nobody had to read this post....leave this person alone. :moon:
