Do you have any backups of games or consoles, in case your primary one fails? I mean, every console and game will fail sometime in the future, but is it really worth having more than one? I don't, but that's mostly down to space. If I find them cheap, I probably would buy a game or console that I already own to keep as a backup. |

If they break... why not get them fixed? There are quite a few options out there to fix various systems. After about 10 years my Game Gear had no audio due to the cheap capacitors Sega used. I got a new motherboard and all capacitors replaced on the audio board as well as changed the backlighting from tube to LED. I've even replaced the d-pad rubber membrane between the button and motherboard. Don't toss your old systems... fix them. |

Yes. I have virtually every video game ever released between the mid 80s and the early 2000s for all the main consoles on a NAS, I need to get motivated and do the same for the rest of the 6th generation consoles soon. As for consoles I have multiples of most of them, and some of them are modified to play games off an SD card or HDD. |

There are people on Etsy or eBay that will fix your systems. Then there are brick and motor locations and sites like www.estarland.com that will fix your systems. You ship it too them, they do the work, and you get it back. It takes a bit of trust on your part, but there are legitimate businesses. |
