| Best 'classic' PC to begin collecting for?... |

Even though I hardly ever seem to buy new (old) consoles nowadays (as I'm trying to work on my game library instead of my console hoard xP ), I've been watching some of LGR's videos on YouTube. So, I'm just curious, what is the best PC machine (or whatever technical term should be used) to begin collecting for? When I say best, I'm considering the following factors: 1. Price for the machine 2. Average game prices 3. Other initial investments/upgrades required (memory upgrade, etc.) 4. User-friendliness (learning how to operate the machine, ability to upgrade if/when necessary, etc.) As always, I'm sure that this isn't something I'll immediately begin doing, but this information is always handy to have. xD I also understand that there are factors, such as game genres and such, that can determine what machines are best for an individual. However, I'm just looking for a general answer based on the above criteria. Also, any suggested places of where to purchase (Ebay is the obvious one) would also be appreciated. Suggested games are also welcome, as are any suggestions in general, really. :D |

If you want to play commodore and ZX spectrum and you dont live in Europe I'm afraid you have to import many of the awesome titles. Don't forget you might have to import the PC itself which has lots of shipping costs. Collecting for the Amiga might be a little easier in the US. C64 does have a TON of games, well over ten thousand titles which makes it well worth it! Games like Contra, Castlevania, Pirates!, Wasteland, Turican II, Ultima series and Last Ninja are some of the amazing games they could pull of on that good old C64! |

LOL I was just thinking last night that I'd like to start collecting old PC games. Not as old as you're talking about, but ones released between the late 80s to early 2000s. I have enough fond memories of PC during this time to justify starting this collecting. I just need to build a machine that can run these old games :p |
