Classic Video Games / Re: Collections vs Original Copies
« on: October 10, 2020, 11:34:12 pm »
I like them all so if the legacy collection is cool, I will grab it. But that does not preclude me from buying the original copies anyway.

Classic Video Games / Re: I want to get into Sega systems which Sega system do you guys recommend
« on: October 10, 2020, 11:28:50 pm »
Sure you should get yourself at least an original console of each but if you truly want the best way to play everything Sega without spending thousands of dollars, you can do the following:
• Buy Analogue Mega SG and pair it with a TerraOnion MegaSD (plus Analogue adapter set)
- Plays Sega Card, Master System, Genesis, and Sega CD games
• Buy Sega Saturn with a Retrotink RAD2X cable (for RGB to HDMI) and pair it with a TerraOnion MODE
• Buy Sega Dreamcast with the DCDigital mod (for crispy HDMI output) and pair it with a TerraOnion MODE
This gives you the entire Sega library available at your fingertips all on fPGA hardware (so no software emulation) and you can play to your heart's content. Of course this doesn't preclude you from buying the actual games. If there are certain games you want to start with, you totally can!
As for some of the other ideas mentioned above, the Sega Genesis mini is pretty nicely well made considering it's development is by M2; they're masters so you can't go wrong there. It's a great collector's piece. The ATGames systems previously are total junk. Not even worth buying to include in a collection.

Classic Video Games / Re: Is the NES going down in price?
« on: October 10, 2020, 11:20:20 pm »
As someone collecting for 34 years now, I have seen almost all of it. Commons pricing is stable or slightly decreasing only dependent on the title. Almost all CIB regardless of there scarcity are going up in price as they are all highly desired. There are collectors dropping their complete loose sets to get complete CIB sets. Same goes for sealed and sealed/graded but to an even higher degree. Many of those "collectors" are not just doing it to keep but also as investments. While they hurt the hunt for the little guy, they keep raising the prices now into the thousands for even common sealed & graded games. It truly is nuts to see what some of the prices are.
