Shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT UUUUUP!!! :matt-jokerfied:

Just get a fucking rom!!! Go to Google and you can have the game on your hard drive in 5 minutes! Chances are your "incredibly rare" cult classic is playable with a high degree of accuracy. Even if you dislike emulation, you can just burn a disc, put the game on internal storage or use an Evercart depending on the system.

We don't have to pretend we need to hunt down decades-old pieces plastic to access old video games. What's that? Kuon for PS2 is really rare and expensive? Well I'm going to go download it right now to spite your collector brainworms... AND IT WILL BE 100% FREE OF CHARGE

    Definitely, but they're an ever-increasingly limited resource and not realistically available to everyone

      Oh yeah fair enough. There are some games I'll want physical copies of eventually, but emulating is the way to go in the meantime

      There are some interesting horror games I'd like physical copies of on the PS2, but that's not gonna happen any time soon

        I remember trying to hunt down a copy of MGS3 Subsistence in physical shops a year or two after release, even went to a neighbouring town. Never found one, but I was happy to finally play with the new camera when the HD collection came out. I was ready to plop down like 100 euros for a copy, lol

        Complete stupidity
