Retro games (items?) you want, but can't afford!

Originally posted by samanosuke View PostI disagree with that statement. Sometimes I elect not to purchase something, not because I cannot afford it, but for a number of other reasons such as not deeming it worth the asking price, concerns over whether the amount of use I will get from it will justify the price tag, or just that there are other things I’d sooner purchase for the money. Then there is the whole flash cart/emulation argument... why pay hundreds, maybe even thousands, for a game which can be acquired much more cheaply?
Retro gaming is approaching a point whereby, quite frankly, there is little I’m prepared to pay for, despite the fact I could afford to if I so wished.

I said before in the last thread we had like this how amusing it is to see people turn to their inner YARRRR! once the price hike kicked in across the board on retro stuff whereas before they looked down their ivory powdered nostrils at the pirating peasant scum class who downloaded ROMs from the net.
And even more amusing is how Everdrive is somehow more righteous than all other forms of "backup" loading cart More mental gymnastics going on than your average modern day "Person of the book" has to do to reconcile their faith with their common sense but thats dinner party conversation and this isn't that kind of thread....
