- Buying games can be really satisfying but what about when you... can't! Some thing just have prices that are out of reach. Rather than complain about it, I thought we could use this video as a way to relate to each other.

You're in that category of RUclipsrs that makes me stop whatever I'm doing to watch the latest upload! Appreciate your humor and thoughts.
Thank you for that!
I only found this wonderful person a month or two ago. So, not only do I stop everything when there's a new upload but I also put life on hold just to watch his old vids.
This guy’s my fav RUclipsr right now
As a collector of retro systems, I have just about everything, including the rare obscure stuff. Panasonic Q, Neo-Geo AES, Neo-Geo CDZ, SuperGrafx, TG-16 CD add-on, Turbo Duo, Atari Jaguar, Jaguar CD add-on. I was lucky enough to get them years ago before prices went crazy. The one I missed out on and just can’t afford anymore would be the Nintendo 64DD. Years ago I could’ve grabbed it for about $400, now they’re $1,200-$1,500. Great video as always.
Impressive collection! There aren't many system collectors out there so your comment sticks out. I am also a hardware collector and I had to own the overpriced systems at some point. But I had to pay the high prices for a Supergrafx, FM Towns Marty and an Amiga CD32. The last console I got was a PC FX. I know that this may sound like a useless collection to someone collecting just Nintendo or Sega consoles. But it feels incredible to see and play those failed and unknown systems.
@@Oribaa90 A big part of why I collect them is because as a kid, I would always see these systems in magazines and they always looked so awesome and I could never afford them as a kid or they weren’t released in the States. The PC FX is one I don’t have yet, but I’m gonna grab one soon as they’re still pretty affordable. I’m assuming you’re getting the Analogue Duo? I’m friggin psyched for mine to finally arrive.
I'm assuming you have Daimakaimura for SuperGrafx? I was glad to finally be able to play that port on the mini. Really fun! It's always tempted me to get a SuperGrafx.
@@RetroBirdGaming Yes sir, it’s actually the only game I have for the SuperGrafx. I agree, it’s an amazing port.
I bought "The Misadventures of Tron Bonne" new, played it, and sold it to a local game store in the early 2000s for a few bucks. Some years later, I was shocked to find out it was now worth hundreds, moving it firmly into the "never going to rebuy it" category.
I had the exact thing happen with that game. I bought it early 2000s for like around $15. I eventually sold it after beating it, but I had no idea it is worth a lot.
How about that, that game was in my category three for almost two decades. I finally got it last year after getting a sizeable bonus.
At least that one is on PS3 still.
Just emulate it or get it on vita. The game sucks. I also bought it when it first released back in the PS1 days, because I loved the MegaMan legends series, but I just didn't get into Tron Bonne.
Ended up putting it away in storage until about 2021 when I went to just sell my PS1 games and to my delight it was worth something like 400+. Sold it on eBay for 700 actually and whle a part of me feels kind of gross about that, the guy was obviously a collector who was willing to part with the money once he saw the pristine condition of that shitty game.
Bro, don't feel bad, I accidentally did that with so many games. I kinda wish my mom would have told us we weren't allowed to sell any old games. But no one back then thought the old stuff would be worth anything.
Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, Tail Cancerto are my category 4s, but ive noticed recently a bunch of my Dreamcast 4s have become 2s and 3s
Tail Concerto is pricey now? I used to own that one complete. It is such a charming game! It would have been nice to see it re-released on a modern Sony console!
I don't have a category 4, but only because I'm patient and will save for everything to make it a reality; I have no limit, so nothing's off the table. I don't have many left to get in that 'thousands of dollars' per game tier, play everything I buy, and am not after games for the sake of them being expensive; being a great game is the only criteria for being on my list regardless of price or difficulty to obtain.
I will say that - after 30+ years - I'm on the back end of my retro collecting, and that light at the end of the tunnel is a relief to my wallet, lol.
Great topic, great video (as always); thanks Retro Bird!!!
I'm saving up for a Tiger Electronics Paperboy!! 30 years and i'm almost there!!!
I collected physical Sega Saturn games about 15 years ago and even then prices of games were creeping up rapidly. The games I did own I cherished and were a lot of fun. Sadly, I sold my collection years later (can't remember why), but those same games now most likely cost twice as much as when I paid for them back then. I think the most expensive Saturn game I had was a boxed version of Saturn Bomberman. It cost me around $50 or $60 alone, but I enjoyed the game immensely. I've heard that it is quite the pricey game now if you can find it.
Oh, and Retro Bird had the same idea as me. Banjo-Kazooie is one of my favorite 3d platformers, too, and I would do almost anything for a remaster of it (maybe throw in Tooie remastered as well). Crash and Spyro got excellent remasters, so I can only imagine how awesome a remaster of the Banjo games would be in this day and age!
agreed. I feel like Saturn is tier 4 for most people now. I feel bad for Vita and Gamecube collectors as this is quickly becoming tier 4 for others.
I've been collecting Saturn for about 5 years now. It's crazy expensive. I have a few really good games, but not a huge collection. 30 games and most of the necessary accessories... probably close to $5000 spent....
Don’t feel too bad. 20 years ago, I was selling games from my collection like Radiant Silvergun for $5 on eBay, because I didn’t think anyone would care about them and I needed the money..
@@matthewbain21just get an ODE. No actual fan of the Saturn is going to be upset if you play with an ISO instead of buying a $400 disc that might not work. Plus, a lot of the most interesting and recent games require an ode to play anyway - English patches, home brew, etc.
@@pixelpoppyproductions I just do both. I have original Saturn games plus a Satiator.
Too bad I wasn't born twenty years earlier so I could actually afford a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. Oh boy.
I remember commenting about this question before, I’m good with not owning a Saturn or a NeoGeo, but boy would it be fun to have a friend who does! I’ve also come to realize that if I want a game, I can get it eventually, even if it’s expensive. Even if it goes from a category 3 to 4, it just helps you realize how important or not it is to you.
My category 3 console is a Pioneer LaserActive. I'm already a big fan of the LaserDisc format and have multiple LaserDisc players. It's not a real expensive home video format. But it seems that the LaserActive is the most sought after model, not because it's the best LaserDisc player ever, it definitely isn't, but just because it can play games. It tends to be the only LaserDisc player that game collectors want, so LaserActives are worth a lot more than most LaserDisc players. Just the Sega and Turbografx pacs alone are worth hundreds. I've come close to pulling the trigger on one. Maybe some day...
I've accepted that I probably won't find a neo geo CD or turbo grafx
Ebay has everything.
Crazy how I saw a turbografx today
Turbo grafix would be possible . Neogeo I think no
category 4 for me is Magical Chase for the Turbografx-16. Yes, I had a TG-16 as a kid and still do! Also Category 4, Neo Geo consoles/games.
There’s no game(s) that I really want. My mission is to acquire the games I had as a kid and teen, that I traded off. A lot of (them) games are pretty pricey now. Example- Street Fighter: The Movie The game (PS1), Enhander (PS1), Castlevania: Symphony of the night (PS1). I’m confident I’ll get them eventually, I’m in no rush. Waiting for the right time.
A PVM was in my category 4 for ages till an anon on 8chan (back before all the bad stuff happened it was a pretty chill place to talk vidya) offered to sell me one, and basically gave it to me for what I paid.
An Ikegami TM14 RGB monitor for $85 shipped, holy crap.
I still have it and bring it to conventions!
The ones that sting the most are games I used to own and sold and now are in that third category. Looking at you Suikoden II and Megaman X3
Third.. or fourth :(
The only things I put in a category 4 would be NWC carts and other one-off competition carts or MACS for SNES or something. A lot of that SUPER rare stuff isn’t even all that enjoyable to play.
Yep, I still want a clean Lime Green good working Mt.Dew original Xbox, but since good 'ol Covid, that dream went up in smoke.
My main category 4 is Panzer Dragoon Saga when I got into collecting the Saturn was one of the few systems that was expensive and it was very expensive even back then. Now I have softmodded my Saturn to play the game on it, but I still hope to get the physical game one day. One problem is the price for it has tripled since I started collecting 😭.
There is, right now, a bid that ends in 9 hours on ebay and the price is currently sitting at 540 bucks for discs only.
- won't stay that low
@@guyverjay1289 Yeah, but it may be worth keeping an eye on, just in case the price still ends up being lower than average.
Nothing makes my day more special than seeing a new retro bird video. 🍌
Co signed
Agreed!
Too true!
He really is the freakin coolest I agree 🍌
Agreed, he's so underrated
When it comes to retro collecting, I never say never, but I often say "yeah.... No"
So true! There are so many games I wanna get, but it's too expensive.
I just bought Earthbound. I feel like I have vanquished a monster thats been chasing me for years. I am free.
Your videos are always top tier. But your category 4 hurri-games assessment is your best ever. Thanks a hundred billion for this and every reality check video ❤
Oof... I can deal with not having those category 4 games (especially considering how many are only $10 digitally), but adding that fifth category with Banjo-Threeie was a low blow!
I'd sat my cat 4 was magical chase for the turbografx 16.. but notice I said was.. that one hurt .. alot.. but now the pain goes away when I look at it daily on my shelf
Just looked that one up on ebay because I never heard of it.
Yeeaaah.... don't think so.
The Sharp X68000 Mini is being sold on EBAY for 199.00 right now. Bidding ends Thursday November 2nd. Region Japan, but seller is from the US. Just an FYI.
I've gotten many games that i thought I never owned, even grails. There are ways to get even the expensive games. Its just how much you want them. Currently on my list is keio flying squadron. I'll do trades and resell items to save for it
Those damn Racoons
Fujitsu FMTowns Marty lol. Thats a deep cut, comes from that weird era where almost every electronics manufacturer was making a console of some type.
I feel a lot of what you said in this video applies to how I feel about Old School D&D products. I'm a huge fan and I try to collect some of the classics but some are really rare and insanely expensive, I'm looking at you Orange cover Palace of the Silver Princess.
Anyway I literally just discovered your channel and I enjoy your silly sense of humour. I also like that your style is just calm simple fun and not trying to go over the top for attention, I hope your channel does well. Glad I found your channel and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
£100 ($120) is my limit for any one game. Seems a sensible benchmark to me
The top of my category 4 list is not a video game, but a pinball machine. The Addams Family Pinball would be amazing, but it's quite expensive, and there's also the lack of space and whatever upkeep a pinball machine needs, so it's just beyond me. The only saving grace, I suppose, is the emulation of it in the original Pinball FX game. So as long as it doesn't get pulled from Steam, and Steam doesn't go away, I'm slightly covered.
My father and I used to buy and sell pinball/video arcade machines in the late 90s, mainly as a hobby. We'd fix them, play them until we get bored with them and then sell them and make a few bucks profit. We had an Addams Family pinball, Paperboy, Ms. Pac-man with original artwork, Operation Wolf, T2, you name it, even an Outrun like Retrobird mentioned. We were lucky enough to have held on to a few, but I cringe when I see what some of the stuff we let go goes for now. The Addams Family is a good example of that.
I'd like to have an original Polybius arcade cabinet. Really can't afford one though.
Category 5
Games like Chrono Trigger or Earthbound cost an astronomical amount, so now you're contemplating spending up to $100 for a complete in-box reproduction of it.
I saw a game recently that made me rethink it all lol. I saw earthbound with the strategy guide, no case, $800, I remember playing it with the guide when it came out. Unfortunately it was lost to letting a friend borrow it and it never came back.
For me because I collect gamecube it was the game ncaa college basketball 2k3 it was one game I didn't think I'd ever get because it didn't appeal and was way too expensive to justify the purchase but one night I was up late and found someone selling a few cheap gamecube games for like 10 bucks a piece. Low and behold there it was complete and only 10 dollars by itself I messaged and made the deal for the whole lot and right then and there I decided I was going to collect every gamecube game released in North America. It's one of those crazy deals I never thought I would see and experience but it definitely gave me the biggest high of my collecting lifestyle.
Guess a copy of Battlesphere Gold for the Atari Jaguar is something I will never buy. Not only is it exceptionally rare and priced around 1000 bucks, I would not even know what an original of this would really look like, as there are so many reproductions out there and confusing information as to what came with the original back in the day.
Ok Im w/ u Birdo. If somehow it could happen I would have a room dedicated to some sit down arcades. Especially the ones that move around & u weren't aloud to get close due to safety wen watching people play. So sit down After Burner, Hydro Thunder, Hard Driving, 4 player Daytona Racing arcades...Im sure there's more. Just a few off the top!!
Just about any expensive game is "Category 4" to me. I am a very cheap retro collector, so anything $200 and above is far too expensive for me. It generally works- there is the chance of prices going down, and if they don't, I'm aware of the numerous other, affordable games that I'm also interested in giving a try and buying all of instead rather than spending the same amount of money on a single expensive game. Also, I'm aware of the "trash and treasure" principle and how it relates to a no-name game potentially ballooning into being a hidden gem of the new age.
This actually happened with an infamous Wii shovelware title known as Sukeban Shachou Rena. I TRULY lucked out on this one. When I bought it, I paid the price of what a normal Wii game would be, to a seller that wasn't aware of how unpopular (and by extension, rare) it was. Not only did I get the game cheap, I also made the most of the game, 100%ing it for the first time in 2020, and I think I'm the first and still the only player to ever do so for this game that came out in 2009. The price has since ballooned to a Category 4 game, in the league of regularly costing 4 figures! That's a huge increase, especially for a Japanese game, which typically go down in price and flatline.
I also got a Virtual Boy earlier this year. I was mentally prepared to pay higher prices than usual, as well as buy games like Jack Bros. (which I got in Japanese for a decent price by the standards of that game) thanks to the limited library. I had enough money saved for it and I feel I earned it. Plus I have no regrets, considering that I absolutely loved playing the Virtual Boy.
The fact you said Category 4 is "$200 and up" makes me cry, because that's still higher than mine. There's a few $100-150 games that may be category 3 for me, but above that is too much. I've never spent over $60 on a game so far though lol.
The Sega Dreamcast has a lot of category 3 for me, but the Saturn is full of category 4 lol.
@@NottJoeyOfficial It's not that I'm poor, I'm just frugal. I'm regularly employed and can afford current-gen full-priced games if I want, but I don't want them. Most of my favorites have been cheaper games, and they have the least risks to begin with, usually being popular which makes them inexpensive and therefore unlikely to disappoint, plus more likely to go up in price after I buy them if they're not well known which makes it worth it, so that's what I go for. And plus, I usually stick to cheaper Japanese copies anyway, which are no problem for me. And in the case where they are, the good ones end up getting re-released and reproduction carted anyway, such as the recent Mr. Gimmick Remaster on Switch and PS.
Great topic! My category 4 list: Nintendo Playstation, 64DD, Panasonic Q, and the Final Fantasy collection they only released in Japan. Wishful thinking: Dissidia Final Fantasy but in RPG form, a 2D Mario/Sonic adventure.
I think a Nintendo Playstation is kinda unfair to put there given it's rarity, haha.
Also, I think Dissidia's fine as what it is, and what it is is pretty fun. Also has an RPG mode in it as well. I just wish NT had the old gameplay.
Today I was offered a guardians of the good arcade cabinet. I got excited for a minute, but did not want to bring it home. It made me remember we Will never get Pit-fighter 2.
Panzer Dragoon Saga, Snatcher, Cubivore, Harvest Moon are a few of my category 4 games. Thankfully there are ways to play them on original hardware without actually owning a copy. Also, I'm not super big into repros but I do buy them sometimes if a game's price is just too much for me.
Panzer Dragoon Saga is the only game I was willing to pay that much for. And I managed to find a disc only set for a bit over 700.
Wow, that is still way outta my range. The most I have ever spent on a single game was 200 for Chrono Trigger.@@RippahRooJizah
@@riversart2030 PDS was the only game I paid over 200 for, although my trigger finger is itching for a few more Saturn games.
10 years ago a Soul Calibur 2 arcade cabinet would have been category 3, possibly even 2 for me. Today with a mortgage and kid it is flat out a category 4.
The other problem with X68K and other floppy disk games like on PC98 is floppy disks are notoriously unreliable. They lose data or corrupt data all the time. You buy a game, and sure disk 1 and 3 will work, but disk 2 will be empty or corrupted.
My cat 4: bulk slash on Sega Saturn
My cat 5: a new tokyo extreme racer game
Category 4 for me would be NHL Open Ice Challenge original arcade cabinet.
Thanks to you I'm developing a bread clip addiction
Final Fight Guy for SNES falls into category 4 for me, even though it was one of my favorites.
Neo Geo is my category 4.
I don't have category 4 stuff, not even category 3, because I know emulation is always an option.
But as for a wishlist, I'd love a sequel to the original Rayman in 2D, or finally having Rayman 4.
Category 1 is so underrated. I've paid as little as $5 for some of my favorite games. Granted, that was a while ago, but you just have to look around to find good games cheap. I bought Hagane for SNES and I've probably got less than 5 hours in it. R-type final: paid $5 and have put over 100 hours into it.
As an Armored Core fan I got most of the games for good prices. And then Armored Core 6 was announced and the prices shot up.
Sometimes being a hipster is great.
The one game i want right now is Phantasy Star Online episode 1 and 2 plus for the nintendo gamecube. It sells for over 300 now for some reason. Got it back in 2003 for like 40 bucks.
Id like an in box unopened Gameboy game. It doesn't even have to be an expensive one, just unopened.
Time for another Friday with R. Bird! Thank you for your videos, sir :) 🍌
Your videos always have a positive, upbeat vibe to them. Thank you! My Cat 4 is Tank Command for Atari 7800, although I might just drop it to Cat 3 if I get a nice bonus from work!
For me, very few games that I want would fall in the category 4. Many would fall in category 3 though. The only ones I could think of that would be category 4 for me would be games like the Nintendo World Championship. Hundreds, I can conceivably save up for that. But when we start getting into the thousands…Something near the lower end of the thousands could still be a very high 3, but when it gets into the high thousands…that’s just too much.
For me it’s anything Neo Geo, TG16 or Saturn unfortunately… 😔
And yes I agree that category 3 games can be just the dirtiest of dogs at times
I'm worried about vita and gamecube games joining your list for many others.
I don't really collect very many retro games compared to some people and just use an everdrive/modded consoles for a lot of my library that aren't more modern games. Or even emulation with retro game emulation consoles.
For my Category 4? I'd be interested in adding a CIB copy of Earthbound to my collection, but yeah that's never gonna happen. It's just too expensive and I can't justify it, which sucks because I really love the game. Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask CIB would be a Category 3 for me. F-Zero and Super Mario Bros. 3 CIB definitely hit that Category 2. Anything Category 1, I've probably already given to my impulses and picked it up on ebay.
I really love having CIB copies of my favorite games of all time. It brings me a lot of joy to stare at then, pick them up, maybe look through the contents. I like having physical things that remind me of my favorite things. I guess that's why I only collect so many games, and I try to get them in nice condition.
Interesting reflections. I know what you mean about owning CIB games! For me, getting Gamecube games in this state is important, probably in large part because that was my first console and these games were like literal gold bars to my kid imagination (and still somewhat to this day). But when it comes to SNES, N64 or really any other Nintendo game, it doesn't bother me at all going for cart only. Maybe it's something about the ephemerality of a cardboard box, or my lack of direct memories. And probably also because most CIB Nintendo carts verge into my category 4 😅
@@rummyraisin I don't mind cart only, but dang, I really like that CIB. It looks so nice. Disc only? Yeah that's never gonna cut it for me though.
A Sharp NES TV is a 3 and the FM towns marty is too for me. Stadium Events is a 4. A NWC cart would be a 3.99 as I would love to have one, but there's no way I could afford it without selling all of the NES games I do own. besides they never some up for sale.
For older consoles/games, my category 4 is the Neo-Geo Gold set cib and Earthbound. I've been on the hunt for years on both, but I couldn't find a price worthy of my money. I still have a hope for finding Earthbound loose at a considerable price, but 20+ years is wishful thinking.
Newer stuff tends to be in that $60+ range. I waited until last week to hunt down a Tears of the Kingdom. Found it $25 under msrp, and I bit the bullet. You could say that ended up a category 3 because there's no way I'm comfortable spending that much.
I was spoiled growing up with a friend whose grandpa has an original Outrun cabinet in his basement. No quarters required.
Couldn't agree more. a Deluxe Outrun machine would definitely be the first thing I buy if I ever won the lottery. Of course the second thing I'd buy would be a house large enough to accommodate it.
My category 4 items, aside from the obvious Neo Geo and a TMNT Arcade cabinet, are Snatcher on Sega CD and Magic Night Rayearth on Saturn. A local shop has a mint copy of the latter signed by a member of the dev team and it's an eternal taunt every time I visit.
Great video as always RetroBird. For my answer it is the Limited Run Games Version of Shantae and the Pirates Curse on Switch. I feel like I'm being greedy as I already managed to nab a physical copy of the 3ds version at a gamestop a couple years back but I'd love to have the switch version physically but that price is a non starter for me.
Another one is gatcha force on the gamecube and rhythm thief on the 3ds. It's just far too high.
One that was a category 4 that fell to a 3 were the 2 smt devil summoner games on the ps2. I managed to have some money at the time about bought those 2 games, though I probably wouldn't make that same purchase again for how much I ended up paying.
You know, I'm at peace with the fact that I'll ever own Little Samson
Love this guy's humor and presentation. Subscribed.
Thanks! Welcome aboard!
For cat4, definitely a 2 player racing arcade. Heck, 4 players would be even nicer! Unless life does a 180, I know that will never happen due to the obvious reasons: space and money. I did play Daytona USA in a 4 player setup with 4 computers and steering wheels, it's was simply the best experience!
not exactly a game or console but since xenoblade chronicles has been my favorite game for over 10 years now i have been trying to collect every piece of xenoblade merch i can and the one thing i always thought would be impossible to get was the french version of the art book only 1000 were made but i guess everything turned out the way it needed to because one day i had some extra money laying around and decided to search again and for the first time i saw one online i couldnt help myself and i bought it probably spent too much on a book i cant read but its almost certainly the rarest thing i'll ever own
probably the next in the pile of "things i will never own" would be the operation rainfall box that was a preorder bonus for Pandora's tower at a specific store its basically just a larger box that can hold all 3 of the games that were part of operation rainfall i have yet to see one anywhere but i'm always keeping an eye out
Monkey Ball arcade cabinet is my holy grail that I'll never have
just found out that shantae for the gbc is $2500 CIB, or $750 loose. That'd be a category 4 for me
Some of these games, I'm ok with getting the reproduction copy instead of an official copy.
I am a pretty big elder scrolls fan, and I still like
Oblivion more than Skyrim, but there are games that take so long to develop it seems like you’ll never see them like the next elder scrolls. I hear a lot of grand theft auto talk right now, and it’s been 10 plus years since gta 5.
Every NeoGeo game is in category 4 for me.
My biggest games are Snatcher and Panzer Dragoon Saga.
Those should be category 4, but I had to and I found a good deal.
My ultimate though would be a sealed copy of the Apple 2 version of Maniac Mansion. It's my favorite game ever.
Im not much of a physical collector but my category 4 would include a PSP coca cola edition, and the original Shenmue artbook
My 4 is really a 3, I want one of the NES toploaders that came with the multiAV out. Because it's out there, and maybe I could afford it, but it seems like no one's selling it. And I know I could mod a regular top loader, but that's just not what I want.
I used to own both Pocky & Rocky SNES games from where I got them at a great price years ago. I loved playing them, and I was proud to have them in my library. A couple of years ago, I had to sell them to help pay some big important bills. My wife cautioned me with a fact I already knew: I'd never be able to get them back. I miss them. Pocky & Rocky Reshrined just doesn't do it for me. It had to be done, but it hurt.
Oh man, my pie in the sky arcade machine would be gain ground! Thanks Retro Bird for the always appreciated videos!

A friend and I went to a retro game store in Summer 2023 and saw a cartridge-only copy of Little Samson that was priced at $3,500.00. 💀
I wonder where official GameCube component cables fall? It seems like the only people that would have them either had "Screw You" money, or were early adopters who got them before the prices went gonzo.
I also would have loved to have an Nt Mini, but the price for it was just too much for my budget at the time. I went with the AVS instead.
It's so funny how short a game little Samson is.
For games that don’t exist, I want a Half Life Alyx port on PSVR2.
I would absolutely love to own a G- Loc arcade cabinet and an original Killer Instinct 1 & 2 arcade cabinet.
Fun video as always! What I wouldn't give for more Banjo Kazooie games 😢
Funny you mentioned Musha. I’ve never even seen it. Real arcades are cat 4 (including real pins, skeeball, super chex, etc). Even A1Ups are overpriced now.
I love your videos! I hope the old format of you playing the games and doing silly bits doesn't go away. I think they really add a lot!
Not to worry :) That will still be my main format. In fact, just uploaded a new one!
@@RetroBirdGaming I'd imagine it is hard to output scripted videos like that every week. At the end of the day I just appreciate hearing your thoughts on retro games! Sounds like I have some videos of yours to catch up on 🏃💨
I appreciate you saying that! Hope you enjoy some of the back catalog of videos :)@@michaelpenny9625
Games and systems that are in Category 4: Neo-Geo and pretty much it’s entire library 😢 Also, Little Samson, Bucky O’ Hare(that one really hurts!) and The Flinstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak.(the cheapest one I saw was over 800 dollars!!!😮). Actually I changed my mind about Bucky O’ Hare. It’s doable but not for quite a while. It’s more Category 3 I guess 😊 Some of those rare NES games can be quite expensive!!
When you were talking about category 3 turmoil, I felt that...
Earthbound was/is a category 4 as I’m sure it is for a lot of people. I actually made a friend who was also interested in video games and still loves Earthbound, but he gave me his original copy he got from a second hand store when he was young simply because he told me he’ll probably never plug in his Super Nintendo to play it after he’s found more convenient ways to emulate it. He knew I was into collecting so he had no issue contributing to what I’d essentially my centerpiece next to my a virtual boy I found at an estate sale. True lifetime homie for that one.
Much love retro bird! Look forward to new vid every Friday
A game that's been in category 3 for me for a while has been earthbound. I've had opportunities to purchase it a few times but other games I wanted more became available at a similar price and I had to snap those up.
M.U.S.H.A. was definitely an immediate 1...LOL!!! Such an awesome game! But the Cat 5 game that I am waiting on would have to be "Retro Bird: Attack On the 'Nanners". Seriously, I would absolutely LOVE to see an actual sequel to Zelda II (in that same style). Oh well. Great video as always RB! #RETROGAMING4EVER :)
There's a lot of systems I wanted to get back when I was a kid but didn't have the money to get them at that point in time & now that I do have the money to buy them. I don't want them. So it be the Sega CD, Sega 32 X, Sega Saturn, Sega Dream Cast, Atari Jaguar, Turbo Graphx 16, The Neo Geo, The Panasonic 3D0. At that said time I wanted these. I was more hooked & addicted to video games back then. Now I don't even care to play a lot of games as I will just play the ones I like now. I do buy a lot of games now just because I can but I won't pay full price for them.
Story time: Speaking about arcades, I used to go to them back in the 90's & I would waste my money playing them wasting my quarters because I was addicted to like every game I saw back in the day. Now I went to a video game arcade bar where you pay a set fee of $10 & you get to play arcade cabinets all you want because they set them to free play. What I found out is that I don't like arcade Joysticks at all. It never used to bother me when I was a kid but now it bothers me a lot that I have to play arcade games with console controllers.
It was great running into you at PRGE. Keep up the great work with these amazing videos.
My arcade cabinet is Race driving or Hard driving. I learned to drive on this game and then when I got my license I went to the track and did good in real life racing. The feedback steering, the shifter with clutch . And back then in mid 90s it was 75 cents or a $1 depending on where you were at . A kid spending 20+ dollars on a game back then was serious . But I did get good enough that free games were given after getting top scores. My claim to fame
Okay, so I have all of the consoles I always wanted. No prizes for guessing which ones. 😉
Is it Sega?
If we include computers and not just consoles, category 4 for me at the moment is the Acorn Archimedes/RISC PC line of computers - the line of computers for which the ARM CPU was developed. They're incredibly interesting from a historical standpoint - but they're British computers from the early 90s. Getting them in the US would be pricey, and then you need power and video conversion and they all used proprietary mice and keyboards that nobody makes replacements for. And then compatibility from one version to the next was pretty rough so you can't have /just one/ Archimedes ....
A PC Engine used to be category 4 for me until I learned about japanese auction proxies. Also, I sold a ton of old games that I was hoarding to fund a set of everdrives. Critical for the PC Engine because finding a working CD ROM2 unit is starting to get really hard.
I feel lucky that I stumbled on a turbo grafx 16. I'll never start getting into Saturn because of how crazy it is. I'm glad I got my gamecube and vita stuff when I did as I think it will join the saturn in a few years.
Love this video! Honestly, some games I just won't ever be able to get physical are games like Earthbound, a complete copy of Pokémon Soul Silver or the Wii Version of Dokapon Kingdom Complete. I have others, but they are what I'd call category 5: Unless I get stinking rich someday, I'm never getting this one. And that game and console are a NEO GEO and Neo Turf Masters. I will say, I've been a collector for over a decade now, and I've got most of the games that might have been a 4 or 5 in my collection already. Having a complete copy of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn are very nice. Having a Wii U and most 1st party titles for that I'm guessing will only go up in price over time here.
I have chosen to never own another console past 8th gen systems again meaning if it doesn't come out on pc or switch then I'll never touch it.
The Sonic Heroes and Super Monkey Ball duo pack. It's $3,107.14 for 2 games I already have.
