I feel bad for people like that. Hey, guys! Remember when the reason we used to own games was because we like to PLAY THEM? Wasn't that awesome?
It was awesome, wasn't it?

Merely collecting games you enjoyed from childhood without actually playing them is a perverse form of nostalgia. Games have a purpose. Fulfill that purpose or collect stamps, baseball cards, or some other non-interactable item.

There have been a good bit of apt analogies used to capture something of the stupidity of this dissected NWA cart, but I want to contribute one more. Having a golden NWA cart and rendering it unplayable is like marrying the hottest trophy wife you can afford, and then castrating yourself. She might look good on your arm, but what's the point, man?
