Do you keep your old games/systems? Still play them?

I did until VC came out now there is no reason to.

It seems like the majority of people that go around calling themselves "hardcore gamers" usually aren't. I mean why do you have to put the extra label on it?

I see you play a wide variety of games which is cool. No Dreamcast? What was wrong with the Gamecube? Those systems had some great games and were out in your time. Handhelds and even mobile have some great games as well. The DS,PSP,3DS and Vita have TONS of games you should check out. And you've seriously never played Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Threes, Plants vs Zombies, Plague Inc, etc? You don't lose cool points if you do.

You're alright man, you diffused the situation and helped me see the bigger picture. I don't like calling myself hardcore either, but yeah like I said I was angry at that guy for saying we're fools for trading in our old stuff. Anyways I'm sure there's plenty of great systems/ and or games I've missed over the years.

Maybe one day I'll have the motivation to give them a chance.

Not really. Still have my PS3 and 360 because I still have a lot of stuff to play on them, though.

Not exactly true. Most games you sell/trade are able to be picked up years later for extremely cheap. As for digital formats, you could download most old games now anyway; you don't need a server or service to do it either. Do I sell/trade games? No, but for those that can spin a profit on them like with the Dot. Hack series, I don't really see the problem.

Of course unless it's really really old.

My only regret was not keeping my Panasonic 3DO or buying a 3DO Blaster. The 3DO Blaster was particularly intriguing. It was unique among consoles......in that it was designed to be played on the PC.

Imagine if the tech is in use today...... XB1, PS4, and WiiU on a board...... all running on the PC.

I don't understand why you wouldn't keep your old systems. Emulation is still far from perfect in today's world. If you don't play old game because they're "old," then you are just as bad as people who won't watch movies because they are in black in white.

I play more retro games than new now to be honest, last Gen killed alot of my interest in new games.

Currently replaying shining force 3 and playing though a copy of Dragon force 2 I managed to get my hands on.
