Hey gang,
Right now it seems everyone is trying to get into the "retro" game craze. Many consoles that were once cheap and easy to enjoy games on, are now being driven up in price by collectors/profiteers/resellers. It's such a shame really, since these games should be enjoyed and played!
Does anyone think this will just continue to become a bigger problem? Or do you think it's generational, and once that generation passes, it will return back to normal?
I've seen the NES, PC-Engine/TG16, Sega Saturn, and other markets inflate dramatically. Since I just started my Neo Geo adventure, I can only assume it's having an effect here. But I assume less so, since a high barrier to entry keeps some people away (Cost of arcade hardware, consolized systems, knowledge required to get into the scene, etc)?
Anyway, I'd be interested to hear what others think!
