wtf why are old games so expensive? $12 for turok??? 15 FOR WAVE RACE? This is so fucked up. When is the bubble going to pop.

those games are dogshit and you have no reason to play them as an adult
t. grew up with an N64

>>716375628
nba hang time was rad as hell

>>716375628
No Wave Race slander you fucking tasteless nigger

>>716375628
>t. grew up with an N64
Same, but I say the games are cool and you should play them.

If only there was a way to get all these games in a single cartridge...

>>716375551 (OP)
You can sell whatever to nostalgic old people

wew

>>716375551 (OP)
God DAMN that shit is cheap compared to how they rip you off in Australia

>>716375551 (OP)
Seems fine for 90’s games in great condition, though they add up. My problem is the random $100-$300 games like silent hill. I’m not starting a collection if I have to pay that much for one piece of plastic to complete it

>game i had multiple times as a teen, but it always got fucked up for some reason
>almost everyone i know somehow wrecked their copies as well
>what was once a 20 dollar game is now 200
>mfw i didnt buy it when i saw it for like 40 bucks years ago, and thought that was too much

>>716375893
>$57 on ebay
Should I do it? I held off on buying carts because everdrive exists, but never wanted to spend the money on it

>>716376837

you can get it for 45 on aliexpress, and since is open source is the same shit
it runs all games, all DD games, has clock support for animal crossing and even runs both NTSC and PAL roms

meanwhile Krikzz overpriced trash now its obsolete lmao

>>716375551 (OP)
Those are moderately worthless as collector's items, since they're opened and not particularly rare.
So, if you're not collecting, emulate.
If you want original hardware, flashcart it.
There's no reason to buy those carts unless you want to hoard in case they become worth something.

>>716375551 (OP)
Most of those will end up in a landfill, or poorly insulated room until the elements destroy the hardware (if it's not already).

>>716375551 (OP)
collectors buying up all the games to sell to other collectors. its not gonna end.

>>716377029
this is appealing but I cannot go back to a vanilla N64 controller the stick is so shit, what are the alternatives

>>716379142
Playing a better console is a good alternative.

>>716375551 (OP)
Old games are free, is called emulation.

>>716379173
exclusives I wanna replay and N64 emulation sucks unfortunately and also you are a dumb nigger

ogre battle 64
Mischief makers
Mystical Ninja starring Goemon
chameleon twist 1 and 2
Rocket: Robot on wheels

>>716375551 (OP)
Buy an N64 flash card or just emulate. Games that are 25 years+ out of print should only go up in price.

never
the last place where retro gaming was cheap was japan and even that shit got ruined by stupid tourists

>>716376837
i got the red chinese one for under 50 bucks and works just as well as my friends everdrive

>>716379335
Yep, it's the bottom of the barrel time. Can't wait to play this chore simulator lmao.

N64 games are fun. The only reason I'm not playing mine more is my Super Mario 64 battery doesn't hold saves anymore and I never have time to sit down and figure out how to replace the battery properly

>>716379625
>this is the worst he can find
>he thinks this doesn't look like fun

I caved in and sold a lot of my physical collection cause I was on the brink of being homeless until I got a big promotion.
It was a pain of selling things to different individual buyers but you make way more money in the long run. I contacted one of those resellers that buy in bulk and he tried to scam me by offering me a Nintendo Switch and PS5 for my entire PS1/PS2 collection that was worth more than $1000 if I sold the games individually.
In the end I made roughly $3800 which was enough to help me on a down payment on a car that I desperately needed.

>>716379335
>N64 good game availability is terrible
>N64 controller is shit
>N64 emulation sucks
It's time, anon. It's been 30 years, notice the pattern already.
Childhood was good. N64 wasn't that good. You won't recapture your childhood through replaying mediocre games on a below average system.

>>716375937
Who's paying for that? Especially if can play in other ways.

I remember when N64 was one of the cheapest consoles to collect, outside shit like Majora Mask, Pokemon Stadium 2 and actually rare shit like Worms Armageddon or Starcraft 64, most games were between 10 to 20 bucks with the big ones being up to $35.

>wahhh these games are too expensive
>I WANT THEM!!! LET ME BUY THEM BUT FOR WAY CHEAPER
holy retard. the price is like that because there is an endless treadmill of coomlectors like OP that want to buy 30 year old games

>>716380006
"collectors" who think it is an investment probably, just like how they inflate the shit out of trading card games by buying up shit

>>716375551 (OP)
Those prices are fair

>>716379632
you're gonna be looking for a battery on your board for an awful long time

>that one game you sold that skyrocketed in price
I sold my gen 3 pokemon games after transferring everything to gen 4.

>>716380050
I feel like such a clever bastard getting Pokemon Stadium 2 for $20, Snowboard Kids 2 for $50, and Starcraft 64 for $50. Majora's mask has been expensive for a really long time, even back in 2013 when I was first buying 64 games that one was always at least $50.

>>716375628
Uh, you can chug a dick because Eave Race is still great. Still the best Jet Ski game not that it has a lot of competition.

>>716375551 (OP)
Those are pretty great prices honestly
except $20 for wetrix what the fuck
that was the weird ass game you rented at blockbuster not knowing any better and being upset that you wasted your weekend

>>716381223
I sold my gb micro with 2 games for like 20 bucks
It had a faulty L button so I thought that was a good price.
Had no idea micros were rare..

>>716382207
Yeah Wetrix sucks. I'm not sure why that game used to get sucked off by N64 fags. There's FAR better underrated stuff for the system, like Rocket Robot on Wheels, or Gauntlet Legends.

>>716382790
Lack of games explains it all when it comes to 64 fags.

>>716382790
>Gauntlet Legends
fuck I miss that shit with my bros... just bringing our own controllers over to eachother's house and playing until I couldn't see straight

>>716381223
Worms Armageddon on the N64
Why the fuck is it so expensive

>>716383172
It's a blockbuster exclusive. So is razor scooter.

>>716383172
i think it had a very limited print.
the european version is much cheaper.
