Homebrews I'm all for it. I love when people make new games for the old classics. Repro's - Yes and no. Yes if it's a Prototype that was never released or something like NWC90 and the cart looks NOTHING like the original. But where I get upset is games like Flintstones 2, Stadium Events or Little Samson and the game looks exactly like an original. I see these pop up on Ebay and idiots want a stupid amount of money for a Reproduction. Then there's losers who try and sell a repro as an original that are nothing but scammers in my opinion. Also I have no issue with English translations of Japanese games. |

I support it. I own a repro or two (all of translated games and the like) and I don't mind home-brews if the quality is good. |

I am one of those collectors that doesnt care for the value of anything. I would support any repro of any game I want if I can afford it. |

If by Homebrew you mean completely new games made by enthusiasts who would have a problem with that? I've purchased Thrust and Stay Frosty 2 off of Atariage and they're incredible. As for reproductions as long as the consumer isn't being duped into thinking it's genuine the only party that should care are the companies who own the intellectual property. Since they are not producing these games themselves or at the very least not in the format that people want them in they really only have themselves to blame for for all this counterfeiting and bootlegging. Some of the SNES/SFC repros/bootlegs or whatever you wanna call them coming out of China are starting to get pretty damn convincing. Also since their cases are directly molded off the original carts their fake PCB's are interchangeable with official cases. So any jerk without even the slightest bit of knowledge of how to make a repro could just have a new reproduction label made up slap it on a real cartridge and make a Madden into a fake Earthbound and the only way to tell would be to open the cartridge. If I were buying $100-$200+ games I'd be a bit nervous. A fake $30 Lufia 2 bootleg next to a legit game |

Reproductions for the reason to trick or defraud is shameful. Reproductions for your own person I see no issue. Home brew is awesome. |
