Retro Gaming Collections: What Are You Hunting For and What Did You Find?

[Odd Maverick]

Retro gaming collecting has become genuinely expensive and genuinely rewarding in equal measure. Games that sat in charity shops a decade ago command serious prices now. First-party Nintendo titles especially. Certain SNES and N64 cartridges that were niche at release are now collectable. Meanwhile some consoles remain accessible. Dreamcast games are still reasonable. Mega Drive libraries are large enough that great games remain findable. The community around retro collecting mixes genuine love of the games with investment speculation which creates interesting tensions.

What are you collecting? What's your best find? What are you still hunting? And what's the one game you want that keeps eluding you?

Dreamcast is the sweet spot for collecting right now. Great library. Reasonable prices. The console itself is cheap. Underappreciated and genuinely excellent
