Earlier this year it was darn near IMPOSSIBLE to find a copy of Star Wars Battlefront 2 for the original Xbox in physical form now I see it is back in stock on both Amazon and Walmart used. As time goes on I've noticed certain games go rare then pop back into the for sale on the online marketplaces again and again, but what happens when some of these games will no longer be available for months or even years at a given timeframe? that fact is why I don't want to obtain and collect video games anymore, and what makes me even more of a hoarder of games and even music. in fact my username Oldgamerz was a name I created for this site back in 2017 as a protest towards the modern digital only ways of the gaming industry, if we are excluding the Nintendo Switch. As was the main reason why in 2015 I jumped on the bandwagon and grabbed as much as I could before it was or would be gone for good. I'd say most of the Nintendo 64 library is hard or near impossible to find now a vast majority of the PS1 and PS2 library is hard or almost near impossible to find now you can forget about the NES SNES SEGA SATURN AND DREAMCAST NOW. You can probably forget about retro handhelds too all to most of them too. What other systems and games for them are hard to almost impossible to find now? :'( |

It is not even close it impossible to finding games for most of those systems. It might be hard to find specific games, but I know of at least 5 stores relatively local to me that I could walk in right now and see walls of games for NES, SNES, PS1, PS2. And even then, most games aren't hard to find, they are just more expensive than they used to be. That's what happens when a product hasn't been made in 2 decades or more and it has demand. |

I have a retro store nearby that still has some selection. It's generally sports games or pack in games with an occasional gem, but the prices have skyrocketed. That said, they charge scalper prices when they get a PS5 and XSeX in stock so they probably just take advantage. Most games are available online via eBay or another site. |

The store near me has kept prices of things, that are not in the display case, the same. But there has been some trend over the past few years that this store (and some others) have gotten out of dealing with video games and have moved into CCG and tabletop games instead. |

May not be a wall full of them, but plenty of the Dreamcast's library is affordable. |
