General / Will digital games make the older physical games more collectible?

« on: August 25, 2023, 06:37:18 pm »

I was wondering once physical games are gone will that drive the price and collectability of physical games up or will most people be content playing only new games? For me I would only be interested in a select few I absolutely new I was going to like and play. The way I buy games now I'm more likely to buy a physical game with the intention of playing it eventually. Then if I don't it gets put into my backlog of games I want to play.
With digital only games I won't have to buy it now worried I won't be able to find it later or that it went up in value. It would always be there as digital when and if I decided to play it and Mabey even on the cheap. Sound like I would save a lot of money unless I was buying physical retro games What is your opinion?

General / Gamer reviews/ rankings page

« on: May 17, 2023, 04:12:22 pm »

Hello everyone I thought having a page dedicated to game reviews or rankings of games you played might be helpful to others. I know some have left reviews on the 52 game challenge page but not everyone can game That much. So feel free to review or rank here. I am not the most articulate person so I will most likely just leave a ranking for said games. Others on this forum are fantastic writers so feel free to let your opions be known.


Callisto Protocol (Xbox Series X)
Mostly heard nothing but crap about this game but I liked it a lot it was like a water down version of Dead Space
But it was kind of refreshing not having a jump scare around every corner. Overall a good experience 8 out of 10 for me


Just Cause (Xbox 360)
Excelent game a little dated by today's standards but still holds up for me 9.5 out of 10 imo.


Ok last one for me today I'll do more another time if anyone cares.


Ace Combat 4 (Ps2)
This game is as perfect as it gets the control is spot on, good story and it even has a hidden aircraft in every level to unlock 10 out of 10 must play.

General / Games you almost Finished but gave up on.

« on: April 15, 2022, 09:47:21 pm »

I've always been bothered by some games that I got right to the end of and got destroyed by the last boss over and over till I quit. I would like to retry some of them but my saves are long gone now. And I fear I won't be able to beat the game again and waste my time. This is a list of some that haunt me. Do you have any games that haunt you too?

1.Iron Tank (nes) I remeber this game being hard as balls. I got to the last boss but could never put him down.
2.Mike Tysons punch-out (nes) they don't call him iron mike for nothing he kicks the crap out of me every time.
3.Extermination (ps2) love this 3rd person horror shooter but hate the last boss. I was so close to beating him many times it drove me nuts.
4.Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360) this one I beat but I find it impossible to beat on the hardest difficulty. One of the last levels has you in a tower and I get wasted every try.

And many others Helfire (Genesis) Actrazor 2 (snes) to name a couple more maybe I should try again? Or just admit defeat.

So does anyone insure their collection? And if not at what point do you think you might?

I don't have insurance for my collection and my homeowners insurance recommend i added coverage.I had some theft in the past and wasn't fully covered for my loss.Thankfully it wasn't to grievous it was kind of like a snatch and grab sort of thing.They didn't have enough time to grab much. Anyways what are you're thoughts on this.

Classic Video Games / Do you have a favorite Box art?

« on: August 23, 2021, 08:49:41 pm »

Hello I was wondering if anyone appreciates the box art or box style of any specific game or games from a specific system.
My favorite style for a system is the sega genesis black case design and the old school capcom games on the nes.
Some of my favorite covers are Echo Night Beyond on ps2 and Wacky Races on nes along with Magic Night Rayearth on saturn.
And many more I try to face as many outward as space will allow in my collection.What are some of your favorite covers or design styles if any? And if so do you display them differently the others?

Classic Video Games / GameCube games worth getting for cheap

« on: February 18, 2021, 10:52:26 pm »

I thought these games were still cheap and worth a buy if anybody cares.

1.Die Hard Vendetta-is a 1st person shooter it's not a perfect game but not broken and inexpensive.
2.Resident Evil Zero-you can still find for under 20 bucks.
3.Surf's Up-more than just a kids game it's really good and cheap.
4.R:Racing Evolution-loved this racing game plus it came with a bonus game called Pac-Man-Vs two games for under 20 sweet.
5.Goldeneye Rouge Agent-decent 1st person shooter all though nothing special worth a play through.
6.Fight Night Round 2-it's got Super Punch-Out included on it again two games for about 24 dollars ain't bad.
7.FIFA soccer 2002 this was the last sports title I ever played because I lost interest in them but it was fantastic.

Not sure anyone will care but the GameCube is getting expensive to collect for so I thought I would point out some reasonably priced games.If you can think of more feel free to add your own.

Modern Video Games / Xbox Series S

« on: November 30, 2020, 09:22:37 pm »

I wondered if anybody else got a Xbox Series S and what were their thoughs on the system. I know that new releases are almost non existent right now except for Gears Tactics or the new Call of Duty.They're good games but im really impressed how well my older games look and run on this system. Game load times are almost instant and visually thay are much improved imo. I know everybody will say the ps5 is better but im not trying to debate which one is better just pointing out how impressed I am with the Xbox.Im also impressed with the Ps5 too especially the controller but that's for another post and another time.
