Anyone else collect vintage video game stuff or is it just me

Nov 26·1 min read

I've been picking up old Nintendo and Sega games at estate sales and thrift stores for like a year now. Got a pretty decent collection going. Not trying to spend a ton of money just enjoying the hunt and playing through some games I loved as a kid. Feels weird sometimes like I'm just reliving my childhood but hey it makes me happy and that's what matters right?

The thrift store hunt is where it's at. I found a complete in box copy of Earthbound at Goodwill for 10 bucks once. Can't beat that feeling.

That's a solid hobby man. Estate sales are goldmines for this stuff. What's been your best find so far?

Not just you. I started doing the same thing a couple years ago. The hunt is honestly the best part. There's something satisfying about finding a game you loved as a kid for like three bucks.

Does your kid get into the games with you or is this more your thing? Wondering if this could be a cool way to bond over the classics.

How many games are we talking? Like 50, 100+? I'm curious what a 'decent collection' looks like in today's market.

I respect this. So many people collect just to collect but you're doing it the right way, keeping it fun and not letting it become expensive.
