If you collect games, be wary.

It is interesting how (relatively) cheap old computer games are.  Most people didn't keep them, but those that did aren't getting nearly as much for them as old console games often go for.   Actually finding the game is often harder than paying for it, kind of the opposite problem old console games have, heh.

Part of that probably is the hassle of using them -- many need specific old computer hardware to work that most don't have...  floppy drives, old PCs, etc.  Sure, it's not THAT hard but there is a lot more that can go wrong and make your attempt to use the old game annoying.  Some things are easy, others hard; it varies.  Classic computer collecting is much more complex than old console collecting in some significant ways, so I do get why it's much less sought after.

As for my favorite console, the N64, yeah, its massive price increase over the last few years has been unfortunate to watch.  I was expecting it, since the NES and then SNES had similar increases in years past, but some of those prices have gone up a lot!  I'm pretty fortunate to have most of the N64 games I want and have had them for some time now.  There are a few more to get here and there, but I have most of the ones at all worth owning.
