re: Is there any reason besides nostalgia to hold on to old games and systems?

You ever come across chrono trigger or secret of mana those are still worth $ too.
On that note, I may have to shoot you an email re: emulators. Id like to play a few old games. Have you seen one for either of the two i mentioned?

I love collecting old games. There are some systems, such as the Sega Saturn, that cannot be properly emulated (unfortunately). The Saturn has some amazing games.

I know a couple of guys that buy/sell NES consoles. They usually sell the consoles for over $80, way above market value. They'll give me a few free games if I can fix any broken consoles, so that's a fun way for me to collect retro games.
Personally, retro consoles/games have a nostalgic appeal (even if I acquired them at no charge). If you prefer to get the $$$, by all means sell lol.
Do you happen to have a list of what games/consoles you're selling, or a link?

Here are some pics I took a long time ago but the collection has grown a lot since then. I have more games, Gameboys and games for them, a few more consoles, controllers, etc.
Just yesterday my workers brought me a NES and 18 games from a house they worked on.

The only think I don't have from the pics is Stack Up and a few SNES games.
That and I gave away a few Xbox 360s, TVs I had found, and games to some low income families to give their kids for Christmas.

I keep my old consoles, but I plan on having a gaming room when I buy a house.

Besides, all of the stuff I am selling I have found in the past year or so and gotten for free so I have no attachment to any of it.
In that case, I'd have no problem with it. I could go buy a great game on N64 I've never owned and feel no attachment to it.
Even games I have owned for 15+ years I will still fire up an emulator rather than plug the console into my TV and play it.
Every single console non-current generation game that I would ever want to play a game on is easily emulated, and I have no real attachment to any game on the PS3 or 360. The only console hard to emulate is N64.

Simple fact of not wanting to sell something for 10% of what I put into it.
I will leave it sitting in a closet, never to be touched again, rather than do that.

Found this today complete with everything including the instruction manual.

If I wasn't living in an apartment I'd still have all of my game systems hooked up. I love having a large gaming library with the original systems just ready to go.
ETA: My daughter really wants Luigi's Mansion on GameCube. If you had that I would totally take that off your hands.

How often are you really going to get the urge to play a 10-30 year old game on a 10-30 year old system that can be virtually impossible to connect to modern TVs?
We still play mario kart 64 and smash brother in my house.

My 360 is my Skyrim machine

There is a feel to it you can't emulate IMO. I still have my NES and SNES for this reason.

Emulators are okay, but sometimes I just like the feel of the actual control in my hand and playing it on my t.v
I've started to go this route: The best of both worlds
But, I prefer the cheaper knockoff Chinese versions myself
