You need more subs man.

[MaximumRD]

Thanks I appreciate that! Well, new subs seem to be coming daily now so I am happy, I take quality over quantity as far as subs go! Case in point....YOU!

i don't think it had to do with your childhood

in particular.

some people collect postal stamps or whatever without any childhood memories attached and with equal determination.

even some young folks today collect retrogames, they weren't even born back then.

but of course it add's to the flavour.

maybe in another life you would have collected something else ?

i think it's just something that grows on a person, not so much the result of one event

or specific time period.

[MaximumRD]

Well after a lot of thought and thinking back I certainly DO think that is exactly what it is, in my case, I don't speak for anyone else......

Heh, know what you mean about reacting to a GAME, of all things. Not horror-related, but I was shocked when I found out that Sara in Ys The Vanished Omens in the SMS had been murdered, for instance.

Funny about you playing 'til your friend fell asleep...ha ha...that's some long gaming time there!!

[MaximumRD]

Yeah I could never play the long today even if I had the time I think lol! Thanks for the comment.

[Kuson2]

Yeah!RESIDENT EVIL FOREVER!!!!Best game series in my opinion!

[combatdigiq]

here's what is cooking my noodle right now.

what if it's inverted ?

maybe it's not a negative experiance in your youth

that triggered it, but something today that makes you want to relive those happy careless moments of your youth.

maybe both...

i'm thinking in circles now.

loading..... please wait.....

[combatdigiq]

hi,

nor can i speak for somebody else,

but if you are into collecting things,

might as well collect things you liked in your youth and get that "buzz" from.

but don't start a fight with your wife just yet,

i think she may be partially right as well

somehow.

i'm not realy shure anymore.

your right, this is a interesting subject.

[newcoleco]

You should write to me personnaly... it's off-topic based on this video subject which is "Why do we collect retro-games?" and my nano-answer to it is "because I want to".

[combatdigiq]

1: your a hero !! realy, don't be modest.

2: i can relate to that. maybe your right..

3: i just gotta try that !!! ;D

4: where can i get a colecovision system in europe for a reasonable price ?

[newcoleco]

Q: what do you create?

R: various softwares and docs used by many including myself to do new Coleco games.

Q: why don't you sell them at auction sites yourself?

R: I did try using auction sites once, I've got complains and I didn't like it either. By selling directly I can develop a relationship and trade games to continue my own Coleco games collection.

Q: Watch TV ? what's that ?

R: It's a technology that keep people's attention in a hypnotic dream with suggestions and fantasy.
