Do you guys think the Dreamcast will go up in value in the future? If you think so, how much time will it takes?

I was thinking about it, and i was actually thinking about selling it now, but i realized it could be a potential subject to rise up in value so i thought i could keep it and even buy other things to up its price in the future. What are you thoughts about this?

Why is this not being talked about here?

This is a PC build of Mario 3 made by Carmack and Romero. This was just now released for viewing. Pretty interesting stuff, check it out.

Recently I've had some success selling some old snes games on ebay.

I've kept all of my old consoles (pic related) but I seemed to have doubles of that I had no use for, so I just thought I'd give it a try.

I was shocked how fast they sold and with the amount of sales piling up I'm thinking I could make a viable side business out of this..

So I ask of you, where would be the best place to pick up old snes/GB/sega games locally so I can sell them on?

The advice from anyone who has had experience with this, or just suggestions in general would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys.

Are we the last generation who will ever play these games? Will all these games be lost in time forever after we die?

An observation: I feel snes games really benefit from shaders that emulate the effect of a crt.
The pixels really melt together through the crt shader and create a higher res texture that gets sharp again through the scanlines. raw textures just look wrong

on the contrary i think nes games look ugly with crt shaders. the crt effect+scanlines dont add anything to the textures because they are so low res it's in vain. the scanlines make it look worse as opposed to on snes. i like the raw textures more, but a bit of blur and smudging through an ntsc filter seems to add some texture to the low res but this is more of a preference for some people. i personally like to play nes games without any filter but on a low res mode 512x480 with a natural blur by upscaling of the hdtv.

gameboy games feels also really wrong to add filters. dot matrix is a preference for some people and it is okay. without any filter it looks the most right. scanlines look really ugly here especially as they have no place on a gameboy, it looks atrocious as the original hardware never had scanlines and it just feels wrong i think we can all agree. yet blurring or any kind of filter also feels wrong. Playing in 1x or 2x integer scaling with a gameboy borders feels the most right to me as those games look wrong on a big screen, they are meant to be played small. Again a bit of blur is okay rendering it in a lower res mode. I play for example with the border in 768x576 mode.

So my point is snes games benefit from and look right when emulated with CRT+scanline shaders, while nes and gameboy games feel off with crt+scanline shaders as there is no texture enhancement gained by the effect, except hiding the pixels.

This again all this is just my preference and I don't claim this to be the right way to play it.
What do you guys think? WHat feels right for you?

How did they manage to get away with publishing this? Gore, close-ups of decaying bodies, sex references everywhere (dat scene where Gillian calls up a sex hotline or compares his wife's tits to a dancer's), this is by far the most "adult" game I've played which got an official Western release. Fucking how?

I'm thinking of Buying a Sega Saturn. Is there anything I should know? Any games or accessories I should get?

There was a time... Basically, there was a time in that they had over extended themselves.

There was a time, prior to Dreamcast, just prior to Dreamcast really... As Saturn was coming out...

Where Sega had the Saturn in some parts of the world, they were still selling the Master System, they had Sega Pico, 32X, Genesis, Game Gear, Sega CD, Nomad... That's 8 systems concurrently.

They really fucked themselves into a rut. The Saturn launch was fucked in North America.

So maybe the 32X didn't kill Sega. It was the Saturn.
