Reproductions of hacked games and stuff like that is cool, even though I don't currently own any, but reproductions of existing games and/or their boxes, which seem to be becoming much more frequent if you look on eBay, then no, that pisses me off. |

I only wish I had half the intelligence of the people who can hack consoles. I'm mostly a huge fan due to the translating community that's allowed me to play games that were never released in the States. Repros, no, if its someone taking advantage of a gamer by selling them a fake in place of a legit item. If I have a game that I know is a repro and paid little for it, then I wouldn't throw a fit. I can't think of an instance that I would, though. --- End quote --- I don know through. How about some of the pc engine cd games going for 300-500 dollar? Repro only about 30 dollar. But I think I know what you mean some asshole was selling repros on ebay as legit copies, some member posted it on here a few days ago. --- End quote --- Original games I'm for, although most are average at best. Translated games I'm for patching myself, not buying any other form. Expensive exclusives are to be expected, and I condone most reproductions- The only repro i'm willing to obtain is Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire for PCE ArcadeCD. |

I have only two homebrew games (Dungeon for Atari 2600 and Pier Solar for Genesis) and I think they're really cool. Would love to buy more, but they tend to fall on the "out of my price range" side of things. There are a few repros of hacked/unreleased/no longer available games that I'd like to own at some point, but again, money is the issue. Repros of games that are readily available, regardless of language, seem sketchy to me. Especially now that I have a Retron 5 and can apply translation patches to games. |

Homebrews are very cool, repros are a mixed bag. Repros of games that were never originally released or localisations that never happened back then are fine, but counterfeits of rare games are a big no. I feel the same about music really, I love rare live or rehearsal bootlegs but can't stand counterfeits of rare records. |

Do you consider it legit in your eyes? --- End quote --- I previously owned a repro version of Earthbound (PAL Repro), cause i couldn't find an affordable original. Now i own the real deal. Currently own 3 repros: - Mega Man X2 (full cib pall repro) - Secret of Mana 2 (full cib pal repro) - Star Ocean (english translated pal rom in original japanese box) So you could say i'm not against it if it gives me to enjoy games i otherwise don't have a chance to play (besides roms) I am against people advertising repros as originals on the internet, since they can be so real, with current technologies. Those peple should be ashamed. Well that's my opnion. :p |
