It’s a lot of fun to learn more about the Genesis games as I go. I hope you have the same experience with it as I am having. I’m trying not to look up games with it, I just want to find them in a more natural way with that system. If you do end up playing one that you have a good first experience with, please let me know. It would be great to have folks like yourself point me toward fun Genesis games you find as well. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing, that means a ton!

my brother and i had a genesis before we had a snes, but we enjoyed both of them equally. also, the first jurassic park is my wife’s favorite movie. my game collecting style is similar to your genesis collecting, i want games that i had as a kid or games that i didn’t have but i think look really cool. not trying to buy every game i find.
@RetrocartCollectorКүн бұрын
That’s awesome, I feel like with the console wars being kind of pushed at us as kids, I don’t hear that as often. I’m glad you two had both and enjoyed them both like that! Sounds like your wife has good taste in movies! 😁 That’s a good way to collect, while I am going for every NES (and will probably go for every SNES too) for me, those have a different meaning, one that I can’t really fully explain. But I think for every other system, my collecting will be the same as yours. I’m excited to collect the other systems that way, I think it will be a lot of fun.

If you consider a game as a return, what motivates you to hold it in your collection?
@RetrocartCollector3 күн бұрын
That’s a really good question that I hadn’t thought about. I don’t normally trade or sell items, so I’m not sure. Thanks for giving me something to think about with my Genesis collection. I’d like it to be a curated set so this is something I’ll have to look at.
@CmPuke101_3 күн бұрын
I’m genuinely excited to see what games you pick up for this console. Genesis has an amazing library with games that don’t get talked about. One of which being “Ristar”. Always my go-to game when bringing out the Genesis. You should give that one a try if you haven’t already.
@RetrocartCollector3 күн бұрын
I’m excited to check more of them out! It’s always been a console that I thought had really cool games on it but just never played. I’ll 1000% put that one on my list then man! Stoked to add that to my hunt!

Totally! It’s always fun to think back on all the playground talk about games and the rumors the swirled about them there. It’s a fun system to collect for.

Absolutely they are. I do feel bad for the vendors because at $800+ per table at this event ($1200+ per table at its sister show in Calgary). They probably feel that they have to try and make it up somewhere and bring prices up. The smaller shows around here seem to be a better value as a whole.
