My gf is a game collector too. But if your partner is so dense they cant decipher two different titles on any hardware is sad.

That's why we need to sell it all and enjoy the money and not a plastic case with a cd in it... and a booklet

​@@georgemuggleton6571That isn't sad at all. Expecting your partner to know every nuance of your hobbies is sad. Wise and considerate people make a list called the "when I die" list, categorizing and informing whomever of what they have.

I will tell the difference, when i buy it 😮 for 2 dolla 😎

@@georgemuggleton6571 so much hateful vibes there

I'm with you on the quality of emulation for certain platforms. I got the Analogue Pocket + Dock, and feel I never need to buy an NES cart ever again.

I get it, I do. And I know it sounds ridiculous to say "I like plugging the cart in the machine" and I know they're not making CRTs anymore... but that's honestly half the enjoyment for me. There's a lot of times I give games more of a chance because of how much goes into opening the box, reading the manuals, loading up the cart, and finagling my hardware/CRT to work. Not as simple as swapping between roms instantly. "Eh... I guess I'll give this game another five minutes..." that sounds like a bad thing, but it really isn't for me lol. Eventually the CRTs I have will die. I'm not hardcore collecting anymore and am happy with what I have. Might get an everdrive later for convenience, but for now I enjoy browsing my library to pick something out to play. I'll prolly go the retrotink 4k + OLED route eventually and while I do prefer original hardware, the FPGA emulation stuff is impressive. Not a handheld gamer, but even I want one of those FPGBC kits... For now I'm enjoying what I have while I have it.

@@drivingnowherecomic you can hook up the mister to a CRT it looks fantastic as you get all variations of outputs. I used to be the same as yourself but eventually you do grow out of it a bit

@@retropursuit992 Oh I'm sure I'll eventually get fed up with this, but for now I'm enjoying what I have. I do like that there's steps being made towards preserving these games for the future though. Again I'm pretty accepting of the fact CRTs will die, but after seeing the results of the retrotink 4k with OLED, I'm optimistic about the future. I'm just happy to enjoy what I have while it works. At least I'm open to the future when my old stuff breaks, I just hope these options become more affordable when that happens lol.

@@drivingnowherecomic yeah the retrotink 4k is really something, price needs to come down over the years though to make it accessible for the masses. I actually got rid of my trinitron a few months back, was good fun but OLED + tink 4K with the mister has scratched my itch for everything up to N64. The systems above that are actually better played via emulation due to up scaling and all the other various display settings you get turn them into a modern day game - I love the 60 fps patches the most game changing

Would be cool if you made a video of your collection

Cool game I sold it for £100s wasn't playing and got for £10s

120... that buys alot better value things, like old premium laptops and phones, and such, but your money, your purchases as they say

@@HypeXeski paid that much for a elitedesk 800 g3 mini that i now run batocera on. I still think 120 is to high for mvc2. I remeber when that game was 30$

When you start your career and making real money your collection will blow up and you won’t have time to play them.

Reggie actually highlights niche games I’ve never heard of that I’ve become interested in.

I actually enjoy his videos because I see games I never heard about and am sometimes interested in enough to buy. I think what this video is talking about is the people in our lives that don’t care.

they crank out videos cause that's how they make money. I don't even like the guys but if its buggin you that much, log off and step outside.

Back before speculators and resellers essentially ruined collecting by driving up prices, it was the thrill of the hunt. Showing people what I found and we'd trade and play games together. Now collecting is pay to win, whoever has the largest wallet wins and it makes the entire thing feel entirely hollow and pointless. Who cares what anyone just got when anyone can get anything any time by just paying more for it? Its why after decades of garage sale and thrift shop hunting, I sold off a majority of my collection and pretty much emulate everything or use a flash cart.
