I like collecting and gaming. I am also a gamer first tho, Idk why you would collect video games to not play them, to me its just stupid. Then it becomes a job. But yea, I have almost nothing that's super rare and valuable, mainly cuz 95% of the time I'd rather spend what limited amount of money I have on good games rather than rare and shitty games. I think the most valuable game I own is Super Smash Bros on N64, which is up to maybe $55 now. I do like buying weird or bad games, tho, for their amusement, but I collect games to play them. Every game I have, I have played at least once. Minus maybe some obscure NES sports titles. How many 8bit football games do I really need to play?

I'm all for repro carts also, why would u ever spend $600 on Little Samson or $900 on Flintstones 2?? It's just insane. But these are decent games, and an emulation doesn't really fit into my Nintendo the way a real cart does, so I'm all for it. Why would u ever need a repro cart of SMB tho? That's my only arguement against them, that they're really only needed for those games that are thru the roof expensive.
