So I plan to start collected all cartridge games and consoles. I have a handful of games NES, SNES, and N64 from growing up. And my though was to collect with my daughters. My question is about Repo carts on very hard to get and find games. Such as Earthbound, or really any other cart that goes for outrageous prices. My though was when I have the extra money to get the Repo cart in a different color so I have the games and complete set to play. And later if we come across a really great find get the real thing...but I have no intention of paying more the $50 for a rare title and to me $50 is high(probably wont be using ebay much). So what are yall's thoughs using repo carts to supplement your Original carts. (i only intend to get the repo carts in a color the original carts were not sold in) |

First off: Welcome to the site. It's a great place. Hit the intro thread and tell us a little about yourself. As for repros, I have a little different idea about this than a lot of folks. I say emulate those games you can't find easily. Use your computer, softmod a Wii, put them on your phone. There are so many ways to enjoy those games, skip the repros. That's my 2 cents. I have a few repros and hacks. They're cool and all, but I like to look at the carts. |

Yeah, I agree with Turf here and say that emulation is the best course of action, especially in dealing with imports. If you really want a cart to use for a system, then maybe get an Everdrive for the one you want the most( those are still cost a bit of money). |

Repros are great. I'm not a fan of digital emulation for my own reasons but I'm all for repros. And tbf if $50 is your spend limit on any single game, you're going to need repros or you'll miss out on plenty of great games. |

I do emulation on some but its not the same as having a cart. And shoot we are going to stick to the $5 and under games for as long as possible...but you never know when you will come across that "Little Samson" in a big box of random carts. Lol and having a cute little girl at a flea market asking for a game might just get it cheaper. I also had the though of looking a garage sales for that box that someone just wants to get rid of or estate sales. Or even buying a big lot and keeping what we need and selling or trading the rest. But $400-800 for a game no thank you. ill get the $30-50 repo... |
