| Chrkeller said: Yes, two things jump to mind: 1) Christ, I probably had lord knows how much money in old games that I got pennies for. I sold Panzer Dragoon back in the 90s for $120... I had all the SNES FF games, Chrono Trigger. Had Earthbound. Shinning Force III, Dragon Force, tons of Dreamcast stuff. 2) Prices (and convenience) is why I went emulation. To each their own, no judgement, but I am not paying $650 for Earthbound. |
I would suggest that dev studios consider reprinting these games so as to continue to allow them to be playable in the modern age (without the need to sell a kidney), but being how obsolete most of the tech behind these cartridges and their associated hardware have become, I really don't see why somebody would simply resort to emulation at this point. Unless you really want that authentic experience... which I can understand especially for those who grew up on N64 and SNES, for instance.
