Bought the DS and N64 games which were released for Wii U eShop a few days ago if that counts. Physical, I don't buy much of old games that way. Can't really think of a PS2 or older game I've bought recently. Virtual Console is great for me. Sony should get the PS1 games on the Playstation eshop released for PS4 too.



Yep.

All the time, just this week I've been playing:

Judge Dredd; Dredd vs Death
Star Wars Empire at War
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

I find it easier to buy and play older games since I know what to expect and sometimes even get wow'd in some cases.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Vitural console on wii u and 3ds.

Ah I forgot that in my other post above. I agree completely, PS1 games really shine like they've never done before on the Vita screen. 



Yep.

My old consoles (N64, PS1, GameCube, Xbox) are still connected to my old Sony-CRT in a spare room:

But I don't buy old retail games for them anymore.

On the other hand I still buy some PS1 games for my Vita (they look much better on the small display than on a big TV) and many PC classics on Steam + GOG.com; many classics which are ported to iOS as well.

PS1 games for my Vita: Final Fantasy 6 - 9, Crash Bandicoot 1 - 3, Spyro 1 - 3, Silent Hill, Vagrant Story, Rayman 1 + 2, Gex 3D, Pandemonium 1 + 2, Kula World, Soul Reaver

My favorite classics on GOG/Steam (too many to lst them all): all LucasArts-Adventures, Gabriel Knight 1 - 3, Larry 1 - 7, Space Quest 1 - 6, Quest for Glory 1 - 5, Beneath a Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 - 3, The Longest Journey, Tex Murphy 1 - 5, Ultima Collection, D&D Anthology, Pirates! Gold, Tomb Raider Collection

Trinitron: check

Shenmue: check

my man... no Dreamcast? WUUUUUT

Of course, I collect games but unlike most other collectors who just hoard everything I actually play the games.

I usually treat my old systems to some games each year, last year was a bit hard to because of money but normally i would around Christmas search ebay for elusive tiles for my Dreamcast ,Saturn and Neo Geo CD. But only if there the right price, now these very systems games are climbing up in price as they become more harder to find decent boxed products. Sometimes even might bid on a N64 cart ,but as i only buy boxed i more often then not get outbid on those. Though i was lucky a couple years back with Killer Instinct and WCW Revenge. But my fad at the moment is tracking down Wii Games to play on my Wii U , i missed so many titles and many are just a couple of quid to pick up unlike Atari Jaguar titles which are now going for silly money , some one wanted £80 for Atari Jaguar Double Dragon and it's like the worst game ever made.. That reminds me to fire up Tempest 2000 been a while since i heard that soundtrack .


Not every old systems library is expensive. Xbox, PS2 and PS1 games are quite cheap and superb



Course I do! ; ) I bought one recently, and I got an old console hooked up whenever I'm in the mood for something retro. Sometimes I'd like to play through Mega Man X just because I can... ; )

That's quite a suggestive screen cap.

Rarely, and usually I buy for collection purposes only.
