New board, new members, let's revive some classics!
I was thinking of making this a poll again, but it seems like there could never be enough options to fit everyone's collecting style in. So, let me just pose this as a question; What do you collect mainly and why?
I'll get the ball rolling by saying that my main area of interest is pre-crash stuff. The reason being that the styles of games from that time appeal to me the most. I also would be lying if I didn't say I have a lot of nostalgia about that time in my life (79-84 or so) and the older games take me back in a way. Plus I know enough about how videogames work to really get a kick out of seeing what people could or couldn't do with the limited technology of the day.
I also enjoy some newer stuff, but I'm not as active about getting it. I love shmups and Contra style action games and try to get all of that I can, but other than that I'm more interested in finding stuff cheap. Though I lean more towards the older stuff, I can't pass up a bargan if the game is good.
