The Blackangel Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Ave For your classic games, do you play them or just collect them?

Due to the amount, I haven’t actually played them all, but I buy them because I want to play them. That’s why I primarily stick to collecting JRPG’s, because it’s my favorite genrezz
The Blackangel Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I'm a classic gamer myself. With a handful of exceptions, everything I play is N64 and back. I grew up on Nintendo, so that's the majority of what I play. But I still play Atari 2600, Sega Genesis, and PS1 just to name a few. I'm just about the only classic gamer here. There are a few members who would call me the classic gaming expert here. While I don't know if that's true or not, I do know that some of the systems I'm on all the time are at least twice as old as several members.

My PS1 RPG collection is the biggest, but I have some cool stuff on the Dreamcast and Saturn. I wish I could own more of the RPG's on the SNES, but they're either super expensive (like Chrono Trigger), or they never left Japan
The Blackangel Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I have a few RPG's on the SNES. Here's some of the titles. Mario RPG Legend Of The 7 Stars Secret Of Mana Illusion Of Gaia Final Fantasy 2,3,4,5 Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Lagoon

Mario RPG Legend Of The 7 Stars Secret Of Mana Illusion Of Gaia Final Fantasy 2,3,4,5 Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Lagoon Final Fantasy 2 and 4 is a bit redundant as 2 was the original North American title. Do you have the original Japanese versions of those, or are they ROMs or repros? Final Fantasy 4 and 5, and Bahamut Lagoon never left Japan on those.
The Blackangel Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 They're originals. What their correlation to the Japanese releases are, I don't know. All I know is that I have them and enjoy them. I won't buy a reproduction. I only buy authentic carts. Nostalgia is a big thing for me, so if I bought a repro, I may as well be playing a ROM on my PC.
