I wasnt a big fan of any game that is not an original release. Then I found out that someone translated Labyrinth for the nes and put a gorgeous label on it.
I bought it and enjoy it a lot.
My biggest thing is I HATE people who try to sell convincing bootlegs as originals for original prices. The most common right now is the Pokemon gba games and Cheetah Men 2 sealed for nes.
Its the same in the coin collecting world. All these fakes are beeing put to auction a little below average price as a buy it now, hoping someone wont read or notice the fine print and buy it on an impulse.
Im fine with translations. I myself just dont burn disks or use emulators. Its not my thing.
I do look forward to getting a few homebrews like the 2 zelda titles modded for nes. Or mother 3 for gba.
Basically, I dont care what others do with retro stuff as long as no one is trying to scam me. It doesnt hurt developers as they have long since made their money on these games.
Also a word I avoid like the plague.
COPY
I hate that word as it is always misused in the gaming world. Instead of saying I have 3 mario land 2 games, youll hear I have 3 copies of mario land 2.
