Do you still own your childhood collection?
>>12778716Sadly not no. But I have re bought it all
>>12778716It's all bootleg cartridges so it's worth little, but yes.
I have some of it. Most of my SNES stuff for sure.CD-I, game gear, NES, apple iiGS, and 5170 ibm were thrown out by the parents.Game boy and collection was sold by my sister to buy weed.Entire N64 and GameCube collections and consoles were sold by my brother to buy sports tickets that he scalped for profit.Gave away the PSX, Xbox, PS2 and games years ago in a sort of an heroic moment.But the trusty SNES lives on. I only game on my desktop now, and I’m fine with that.
>>12778716hate women so fucking much it's unreal, fing attention seeking whores
>>12778750seethe trannyywnbaw
Only what I had on Gamecube.My mom did this really based thing when I turned 18 and had to move out, when I was worried about not being able to take everything with me. She said I could leave stuff behind and it’d be left alone. So I move out and try to return literally days later and every single thing I had left behind was thrown away.>if you wanted it, you’d have taken it with itI lost all my NES, SMS, Genesis, N64, GB/GBA, and PS1 stuff.
>>12778716None of those were yours and you are not a woman.
>>12778794OP did not present it that way. It’s got a filename that indicates he got the pic on the web. If he wanted to pretend it’s him, he would’ve spoofed a standard iPhone or Android image file name (a thing you can do to mess with people).
>>12778750Just bitter you didn’t have a collection of them as a kid
>>12778741>apple iiGS,>tossedThat hurts me the most.
>>12778858It is the one that hurt the most, for sure. And it was the most recent one. Parents cleaned out their storage shed during covid and I found out weeks later they tossed it into a big metal dumpster. It still worked and had the original monitor, floppy drives, keyboard, and mouse. Fucking damnit, that was the first computer I ever used, and 2nd thing I gamed on after NES. I need to take a deep breath and calm myself.
>>12778716>yellowed

>tfw no retro gf
>>12778778Your mom is a moron.
>>12778716Only my snes games
>>12778716Who’s the whore and does she even know what she’s holding up?
>>12778716No I had to sell them all to pay rent.
>>12778716Yes but I'm selling my copy of chrono trigger right now. $250. Any takers?
>>12779152Post timestamped pic
>>12778716show boob an bagene
>>12778716Unfortunately someone left the cellar door open and they escaped.
>>12778716No I sold all of it. Emulation is fine with scratching that retro itch for me. Any time I think about playing "authentically" I just think of the hundreds of dollars I don't have that I'd have to spend just for the sake of nostalgia.
>>12779178>I'd have to spendWouldn't have to be a thing if you didn't sold them in the first place
>>12779194i'd be homeless if I didn't sell them.
>>12779153
>>12778716>No one has pointed out those are fake cartridges
>>12778716Only the good stuff, I traded or sold off anything I didn't like and if I really ever wanted to play it again I would just emulate. Except the PSX games I had over 100 games all stolen by a crackhead my aunt was dating at the time. I got him back by stealing thousands of dollars of speakers from him.
>>12778716Nice repro carts foid
She owns SNES games. You own nothing
mfw women
>>12778778And I thought my parents were evil for chasing me outside of our apartment so that "computer could rest" meanwhile our refrigerator has worked since before the fall of Yugoslavia and yet they had no problems with that. Jesus Christ anon. I would have held a petty unreasonable grudge for life if that happened to me.
>>12778716Some of it. I want to kill myself when I think about all the stuff I sold back in the day though, or traded in to my local game store for peanuts. I had pretty large Saturn and N64 collections at one point, all of which are gone. Same with the Mega Drive and SNES. I kept most of my PS1 and Dreamcast stuff though, along with later consoles.
>>12778716The only games I still own from my childhood are my very first game - Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, which came with my NES Action Set, and my NES copy of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
>>12778716yeah but it was and is very small, think we had around 5 nes games and 10 snes games
>>12778778Stupid fucking bitch
>>12778778I think i would just intentionally ruin my life to spite my parents if they forced me to move out as soon as i turned 18.
>>12778716Yes, exept for Super Monkey Ball, that game sucked ass so I sold it.
>>12778871oof in my soul
>>12783464>top 2% SAT ACT>graduate a year early>2 engineering degrees from an engineering only university>Worked in factories as a teenager>Almost 40 wasted above my mom’s garage on a weekday haven’t made a dime in yearsIt could be worse, you could have to take care of you dad with cancer and his house because you were the youngest kid then see all of your contacts leave you and your credentials become more meaningless until you get drunk every waking moment replaying 30 year old video games longing for the sweet escape of death.
>>12783293Painful. Gave away my collection of nearly 100 N64 cartridges, 4 controllers, and fully working console when I fled my homeland. Emulation is my cope.
>>12784618Yeah, life was tough in Thatcher's Britain
>>12778937>tfw no retro bf
>>12778716Yes, PC and console all of it still in box mostly but I got into collecting probably as a late teen and my parents got rid of a few cool things I got from garage sales, a 32X, an Amiga 500 and an NES because they thought it looked like junk because they were opened up and I was doing mods, a neighbor had told them any tech more than 5 years old is junk. I got new ones now. I hope they make more proper repros like the new Neo Geo so more people can get a 2nd chance particularly the 32X.>>12778871The GS is harsh, 5170 you can use an 8088 replica laptop, Game gear half of them are broken, NES you can get a cheap famicom with adaptor. CD-i I have but never got it working so don't know but doesn't feel that special.>>12778778Boomers yeah. I had a huge PC collection in boxes to protect them I gutted them all and folded them flat so I could about 50 in a single cupboard to hide it from them. Not really worth anything but I think its much more important to preserve them possibly for replication in the future.>>12784618You would just use a flashcart anyway probably, sure its cool to read the manuals.
Lost NES and Game Boy to damages in moves, SNES and PS1 are still in my collection, all the games were sold some 10 years ago, just use flash carts and ODE's or burnt CD's now. The only retro game I actually still own is currently in possession of my best friend, and he's 3,000 miles away.
>>12786956>The only retro game I actually still own is currently inWell, what game is it that you decided to not sell?
>>12778716Have my original NES, Genesis, PS1, and PS2. still have all of the games for the sony consoles. Sold about half of the genesis games to buy the ps1 back in the day but since rebought all those sold carts on ebay and a few others i rented back in the day. Have like half of the original NES stack but a few carts got tossed out by my parents by accident (RIP battletoads and Super mario 2)
>>12778716No, I'm a retard who sold every single game every time so I could afford the next console.
>>12778716Yes. I love having official copies of games.
>>12778732Based.My friend sold his bootleg NES online. I wish he didn't.
>>12778716Thats not her childhood collection, at least the Teranigma cart is a repo.
>>12784656Duolicious keeps getting advertised here if you want a retro bf
>>12778716>Do you still own your childhood collection?yes but its not that many games
>>12778716Yes to NES and Genesis consoles and games, I recovered after my grandparents storage after college in like 2012I always kept my PSX and PS2 slim but there were some games thrown out at some point during movesI have my Dreamcast but only a couple games games (the DCs laser died in like 2010)the Sega Saturn I was given from my uncle when he bought a PSX was given to charity at some point before I entered high school by my parentI ended up tossing my Gamecube and games when I moved cross country with everything packed into my old car
>>12778716I do, I knew somehow in the back of my mind that I would want to go back and play them, so I never got rid of them. I was right.
>>12784618The n64 didn't really get expensive until like right now. Did you have any super rare games like super bowling?
Most of it. Lost a good chunk of it in a flood, which still pisses me off. Lost mostly my big boxes for tons of old PC games.
I still have about half of it, namely my N64 and the big hitters I used to play on it Got rid of the original Xbox after I got a 360 ages ago but still kept the copy of Halo CEWhen do we cutoff childhood? My friend gave me his old GameCube my first year of high school and I still have that along with the games he gave me
Yup.A bunch of PS2 games.
I don't have my original Steam account anymore no
>>12782038Sex with Gruntilda is a must!Just one look makes me bust!
>>12778716Some of it, but not much desu. My brother has a lot of it, my sister has a little.
>>12778716No. I had to sell NES and C64, so that i could buy ps1/pc games.
>>12778716>She fell for the NA Terranigma repro cart
>>12778716no i grew up poor so had to sell everything to get newer things, never had more than a couple games at once, never more than one console
>>12789173
yeah, my mom finely found my n64 and genesis today
>>12778716Yes I still have a good chunk of it, and pieced together some pieces that were lost or stolen over the years.>my CIB SNES games
>>12778778Dude your mom is a self absorbed cunt
I tossed all the boxes and manuals after moving with my collection a bunch of times. I lugged my stuff in and out of my folks house as I bounced from apartment to apartment. What sucks is the last time I moved back into my parents basement I finally tossed boxes and manuals for carts and discs. Moved the discs to a big CD wallet and the carts to big boxes. The very next place I moved to was the house I bought where I have unlimited room.
>>12794101Man I sorta understand tossing cardboard boxes (though not really), but tossing manuals? Why?Tossing CD cases?
>>12794121I dunno man this was the late 90s and early 00s. I got so tired of moving the stuff so much. It kills me I bought a house like 2 months after I tossed it. I didn't even really care I did this till like early 2010s when I started caring about real hardware and games.
>>12778716yeah i never give tech away i fought my mother when she tried to get me to give my n64 awayshe did force me to give my crt away which i regretonce i buy something i keep it especially if it's technology
>>12789173half of these games suck
Most of it, but I had to sell off the true gems of my library in order to not end up homeless, so I'm missing a lot of the best games for various platforms now.
>>12778716yea.... mostly. My brother stole a couple N64 games, mario and zelda, go figure. She's a hoarder now, so even if I wanted them back, not happening. So, in return I stole her gameboy and game collection.
>>12794283no u
>>12778716Yeah
>>12778716NES no. SNES jes
>>12778750Cope, Supreme Autistic Commander.
>>12778750FPBP
>>12795190>my brother >sheYour brother stole your tendie games then trooned out?
>>12778778My father-in-law kept saying he would hold onto the SNES and N64 so that his grandkids would have a reason to come over to visit.He sold the whole set, with Mario Paint and the SNES mouse, without telling, and it's been a few years since we've visited.
>>12796607Yup, I let him borrow my N64 stuff, and then she never gave back mario or zelda. Mentally ill hoarder.
>>12793897The case is custom because the back cover was missing. The manual and disc are real.>>12794283Not really. Only a few sucked(WWF Attitude or Evil Dead for example).
>>12778716lost all my pre-fifth gen stuff in a fire in the 90s. still got my 5th/6th gen stuff tho.
Got a few carts stolen but yeah most of it I still have
>>12778871>how dare my parents throw away this thing I had left in a storage lockerKys
>>12793893Typical poor person mentalityPawning your church clothes on Monday and buying them back Saturday type of shit
>>12779223The absolute state of that label. At least buy a replacement on etsy.
>>12797607i think im talking to your sister on discord.she has like a thousand games.
>>12798915If your parents visit you and leave behind something that belonged to them, you would just throw it out?
>>12778716A lot of it, yes. Though, I've also sold some of it on eBay. I honestly don't care about playing on original hardware. Emulation has gotten really good in the last few years. I'd honestly rather play old games on my Steam Deck or my Nova.
>>12799368i like to play title screens too
>>12799234It's easy to say when you don't have to choose between nice things and food
>>12799480Very dramatic Unless you're posting from a hut in the Congo, you're full of shit. No one is starving in the industrialized world.
>>127787167th Saga fucked hard
>>12799813send water
>>12778750
Sold it all a few years ago. Realized I had not touched any of it in 20 years thanks to emulation so someone may as well enjoy it.
No.I was born into a family of terminal hoarders (they had to build 2 extra rooms just to protect their "treasures") who, ironically, never had a problem throwing away all my "old" stuff. The only thing I could save were some toys i hid from them.
>>12778716Yes but my parents threw out all the boxes.I've been tempted to sell them on numerous occasions but I prevailed.
>>12778716yes, but I think it's time to sell them.
>>12778750Muh hecking demoralisation tradcucks seething shoot
>>12802043i'll give you $200 for those old babys toysi'm doing you a favour buddy
>>12799368>Soul not found
>>12778758>>12802047>irrelevant catchphrases
>>12778716Who is this bitch the tranny bots are spamming here and at /v/?
I do. Mostly PC stuff (some 20-25 big boxes from the 90s, also pirated disks). Additionally there are several SNES games somewhere around but alas those are just cartridges.Probably I should get rid of almost all PC big boxes, they take too much space, and keep maybe just five or six of those.
>>12778741>thrown out by the parentsHow badly did you step in it to incur that?
>>12780168>thousands of dollars of speakers from himDid he steal those too?
>>12784652I didn't realize the '80s were the decade of fifth generation video game consoles.
>>12786956>Lost NES and Game Boy to damages in movesWhat moving service did you use?! Nintendo engineered those things to survive cataclysms!
>>12794101>I tossed all the boxes and manualsThis will never set well with me.
>>12801935Very reasonable of you.
>>12778778That was a dirty trick.
i sold all my shit years ago when i was broke>do you regret it?not really. i have little to no attachment to material possessions nostalgic or not. i can just emulate a game if i want to play it again
>>12802761This. You can emulate games, you can't emulate drugs. Spend your money wisely.
Sell all your childhood stuff or better yet give it for free
