@John Jalas I mean on the topic of age demographic, the collection of NES and Atari games is so amazing to me as a 14 year old that just started high school. I have my own collection, not big or super expensive (at least for these two consoles) but these are so cool to me. Older games like this are so much cooler to me than someone having a bunch of Xbox 1 or PS4 games. The age demographic for a majority may focus on the next gen but there is still people loving the older ones forever.

I love this series idea. If you want to venture out to NYC, I collect mass produced items where the designer snuck hidden messages in the artwork. Its not games, but definitely has nostalgia value.

On the note of bootlegs - I'm from Ukraine, which is post USSR country. And prior to Wii, Nintendo never entered our marked, there was no legal way to purchase any nintendo products, only import them from elsewhere. Most people didn't even know about nintendo due to iron curtains in ussr times. So in 90s we didn't have nes, but we had dendy - russian company steepler collaborated with taiwan guys and they were selling hardware clones of famicom and bootleg games - but it was official, dendy had ads in magazines, own gaming magazins similar to nintendo power, own tv show with reviews of games, tips, tournaments etc. Dendy in our region was as huge as Nintendo brand in usa during 80s and 90s. So what I'm saying is, we had pretty similar experience to usa, yet we never got official product, it was completely bootleg. Interestingly, we had games on cartridges, and there was no disk-system, but there were also no battery-backup savegames. Games couldn't save progress. That's why Zelda never came out here and it's still mostly unknown and unpopular series, while other games like doubledragon, tmnt, battletoads, robocop, terminator, ninja gaiden, river city ransom etc were very popular and still are remembered to this day.

[@FanboyFilms]

Games with a password save feature were probably more valued than the battery-save types. Like Metroid had a password feature to save progress.

[@MegaManNeo]

Atari is from before my time - I'm a kid of the 90's - but the reason these games have different names in Germany than you'd assume is because one of our shopping catalogs handled the distribution themselves and (I believe, fellow Germans may correct me) wanted to save on licensing fees, as well as making it easier to read for people since English wasn't too common to speak in the 70's and 80's over here.
