I suppose i all comes down to if you collect or play the titles.
If you are just looking to play them then MVS would be the sensible option as you can get 40+ good titles for the price of couple of AES rares.
Yes there is something to be said about having a $3000 game on a shelf in mint condition, but games are meant to be played..
I went the MVS route as the tiles that i wanted are easier to obtain at almost reasonable prices.

All alternative routes became expensive, even the CD one. Too bad, since such titles as TTS, BTG, CS2, Cyber-Lip etc. are great ports with low loading-times. Yet, you still have to issue a lot of dough for those titles and who wants to spent so much for such unattractive medium.

I'd like to know what that something to be said would be with a 3000 usd mint cart on your shelf.

Random guy at house party - I came over here to look for pokemon and saw your vhs tapes, you should do a YouTube video or something. Also, you should fuck me.

Yes I can see the attraction of collecting expensive items that are never going to do anything other than sit on the shelf.
I have a substantial collection of 25-30 year old malt whiskies, that i have amassed over the past 15 years that will never be drunk. Its got to the point where they have to be listed as individual items on he household contents insurance.
doesn't mean to say I don't drink whiskey, i did once open a $700 bottle to drink (the joys of drunken nights in with friends), might think twice about the $1,000+ bottles though
(or would have to be really drunk)

I can see the appeal. It's no different to any other collecting hobby. Coins, comics, cars, etc. People spend a fortune on all sorts just to collect, but never use. It's not for me, I like to use my games, but I don't see it as any different to other collectors.

I wonder, does that work reciprocally? Are his friends asking Master Tasuke... what are those big-tymer Neo-Geo Games on your shelf for?

No, they're asking him what those pictures of their kid sisters are for.

That's a little bit more information than I needed, but go right ahead.
