    Yes, but it's becoming more popular. It's harder to find games in the wild cuz someone beat you to them, and people know their rarities now and gouge accordingly. It's prob just gonna get worse.

    Yes I think it is still a little obscure but it seems that there are more and more "revivers." By that I mean people who go into a new/used game store and see SNES games and realize "hey, I still have that system at home, maybe I'll pick up a couple games and fire it up again." I think a lot of these people are slowly being converted into collectors. Hmmm. How can we eliminate these people? We've got to make it look like an accident. Hmmmm.

    I dunno, stamp collecting isn't for the masses either. For the general population, I don't think it's the 'collecting bug' but more for the sake of playing the games they had as kids. But then again, you're asking this question to a forum that's dedicated to classic gaming.

    John Doe really wants a 2600 for Pitfall, Pac Man, and Adventure. Do you think John Doe really cares about Chase the Chuckwagon?

    i hate people that think that they are "hardcore gamers" because they subscribe to a video game magazine and play about 2 hours of GTA3 a day. They dont even know the first thing about video games.
    Somebody once told me to get a life.

    I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.
