>>11357124

if you were straight would you be scared

>>11357127
There is a black GameCube tho... There is also color variations of most of these systems, the Famicom was originally red, the play it loud in line and GBC line puts GC colors to shame. Wtf is wrong with cubekiddos?

>is there even a purpose of buying old consoles, anons?
The same reason people collect anything, they want the thing that they like.

>>11357124
Well you need to buy them if you're gonna open them up and break them while trying to fix them.

>>11357124

It's a good conversation starter. During my younger years all my friends wanted to go to my house just because I had a dreamcast because they never seen one in real life.

>>11357124
For the one game that doesn't emulate well.

If you know your favorite games then ya I guess

>>11357305
did you really think your story from when the dreamcast was current console would be relevant?

Originals are better and no compromise. It’s how the games were meant to be played on a CRT and look. I put lag exists graphics don’t transfer well onto modern TVs for the most part.
Originals will work with all the controllers and accessories.
Originals will hold and increase in value and are a good investment.

>>11357305
Are these friends in the room with us now?

>>11357124
My one regret with being a broke shut-in is that ill never be able to collect all the older consoles that I've wanted to try. Like a year ago I got super obsessed into looking up stuff on the Sega Saturn and all the peripherals of it, it was like window shopping for my soul

>>11357124
Most people that owns these consoles never use them. They just play it on emulator and let their console as decorations on their shelves.

>>11357305
This happened with me once I had my SNES with my school buddies. But they were all poorfags only interested in the game and none of their friendship lasted because of that.

>>11357124
You can emulate the game, but not the experience of playing it on original hardware. Turdies and poor neets will cope but original hardware is better in almost all cases.

>>11357465
The only original hardware that makes the difference is the CRT screen. Even a PC that can support an output compatible to a CRT at NTSC or PAL would be no different from how it was intended.

>>11357456
I still play my SNES almost every day. I don't know how to use a computer though

>>11357124
You don't know what "even if" means. What you should be saying is "since emulation exists", what you're saying in those two words is the exact opposite to what you should be.

>>11357472
>I don't know how to use a computer though
Phone poster? The only reason I sold my consoles is because I got a PC. When I had my first PC in 2001 I sold my PS1 and N64 instantly.

>>11357489
Yep, I haven't had a computer since the XP days. Found 4chan from ED and browsed on my PC then but around 2013 it broke and I just never got a new one. Been browsing on mobile since, I remember/int/ before flags and I've been on /vr/ since day one even though I'm terribly behind the times

>>11357489
>When I had my first PC in 2001 I sold my PS1 and N64 instantly.
Well that's the act of a retard. Despite your projection the vast majority of people who have older consoles play their games on them. It's one thing to say that a lot of people playing older games are emulating them, you're really claiming people with the original consoles don't bother using them, just emulate is ridiculous.

>>11357508
>I haven't had a computer since the XP days.
The computer I use now is from Windows 7 days, and I don't intend on buying a new one, because I don't intend on playing new games.

If they don't own a CRT there's no point in using a console. To be able to own a CRT and a bunch of consoles and have them in your living room takes lots of space. Most people that own these consoles are like those that own games or action figures, they are mostly collectors.

>>11357532
>If they don't own a CRT there's no point in using a console.
You are a delusional person. A CRT is the least thing that's good about a retro set up, it's just nice to have it. There's a debate over people who insist on CRTs but a low-lag LCD is almost as good.

>Most people that own these consoles are like those that own games or action figures, they are mostly collectors.
Why are you saying this stuff about people you have no idea about? You're not familiar with or part of any retro scene or anyone associated with it or you wouldn't be inventing up this garbage.

>>11357124
No. There is no purpose to buying consoles. No higher calling for the everyman. It is fulfillment of their lust, but that is no purpose, it is a sin.

They should be as Jesus and take up woodworking.

>>11357547
>I LE MUST COOMLECT WOOD AND TOOLS
No thanks retard
Cave, loincloth, club, meat on bone over fire is all you need.

An abomination unto the sun god for he will dry our wood. You shall be sacrificed on a nicely carpented altar on top of our mahogany pyramid

>>11357124
It's about the experience of the physical medium, opening cases, putting in discs/carts, attaching original peripherals, pressing power, listening to the drive. It's not complete without that tangibility.

>>11357540
Are you triggered? Why are collectors like this? I know the "retro scene" exists where people play old games in old consoles, but a lot of the people that own consoles are only in the "collecting scene". Not every one can cope playing dozens of consoles in a low lagging LCD with bad scaling and color definition that could be easily fixed through emulation much better than any expensive retrotink would do. You would also save space, money, and time. I have seen many people displaying their console collection in shelves disconnected simply as collections, there's nothing wrong with that either

>>11357124
Original hardware is better, sometimes it's even recommended over emulation (n64).
