500 games sounds like a dream come true lol. I'm not in the US, and I live in a small town, so those things are a little hard to find. Still, I appreciate your advice, sounds like a good strategy!

Honestly, for the longest time I was going to go for a complete set of NES games, but once Stadium Events sky rocketed in price, I basically gave up.  To think that I could have bought it for around $200 less than 15 years ago and now it's a 10,000+ dollar game! 

I figured you weren't from the U.S., since you mentioned RGB.  If there is something like craigslist in your area, buy up a want to buy vintage video games ad. 
That's pretty much the only strategy for saving lots of money on games.  Buy large lots for as cheap as possible and resell your extras on Ebay for as much as possible. lol  I know it's a douchey strategy, but it's basically what everyone in the collecting business does.

I've actually moved on from collecting console games, and now collect coin operated arcade cabinets.  There is something about having all of your favorite games from the 80/90's in their true arcade form that is very nostalgic for me.

Everything outside my front door.

It’s pathetic.

I vehemently reject what now is the society in which I reside.

Insanity and weakness is the new average.

Fuck the world. Hail and kill.

This also brings back memories.

Used to watch this with my family back in the day.
We only had two channels in Sweden back then (we got the second channel in 1969) and most of it was shit, so when we got some sweet TV-series from the US of A it was a time for rejoice.




Then later on , 1980 , this was the shiznit!

When I was kid my parents had an old TV with knobs. We had 2 channels but one of them was crap, so I basically grew up with 1 channel.

This channel (the cool one) used to play the shows Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies every single day, even thou it was the 90's lol. I barely watch TV nowadays, but when any of those 2 shows is being played on Boomerang or any other channel I end up watching haha.

The Bee Gees, particularly "How deep is your love"..

I remember sitting in my dorm room listening to this song on a vinyl record and having all sorts of feelings while smoking a fatty.

Today, whenever the song comes on the radio, it takes me back to those days.

Mine is not the Bee Gees, but certain songs from my era, usually spent listening with a girl I was dating at the time.  Odd, it can even bring back the smell of the individual.  The perfume, hair, etc.

Sometimes I get nostalgic about chicks I used to screw.  It usually doesn't last long.

I have several old consoles, but I prefer to use an emulator to play the games. More for convenience really.

The old 16 bit games still look great on a monitor or HD tv.


Analogue Super NT and flashcart or a hack mini snes. Some much better than an emulator.

Do you notice a difference in picture quality?

I've read that 16 bit emulation is apparently accurate.
