After nearly two decades, and now fully into game collecting, I made the trip back to Japan. Here are my thoughts and tips
Collecting
Game collecting has become more and more expensive. Let's look at some games that are fun which you can actually afford!
Game collecting is a bit more difficult nowadays, but still just as rewarding. But maybe it's not for everyone?
The average price of a Sega Saturn game (a good Sega Saturn game) has to be at least $100. Isn't it great!?
The prices keep going up, and the game stays the same. I have sadly come to terms with never owning these PS1 RPGs.
What are your favorite types of video games? The one where you can play as a hugely powerful magic knight, or the one where you are literally just a bee?
You shouldn't have to get take out a loan to buy some PS1 games. But with the current state of retro game prices, that might be your best option.
I have large collection goals, and small collection goals. Then I have those goals that are so specific no one else even knows about them.
GameStop is doing the right thing when it comes to in-store shopping, but what does it mean for game collectors?
What does one do when buying games continues, but playing games dwindles? Think of new ways to enjoy the hobby!
DownStab has been a personal endeavor of mine for many years. Please enjoy the content and let me know if you have questions, comments, or just want to connect. And as always, game on.
