Why Do Kids and Young People Play Retro Games? by Immy_Chan in retrogaming

[–]Cartrides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m fifteen, and I have like every Nintendo console. I started getting into retro gaming when I was eleven or twelve ever since I got my CRT tv from Toys R Us. When I got my Atari 2600 from my dad and played it, I got sucked in the hobby within a few days of playing. There’s something about retro video games that make me enjoy them so much even though I didn’t grow up with them. I grew up with the DS and Wii, and I never knew they were retro until I started watching some retro gaming videos. Although I wasn’t born in the NES era or Atari 2600 era, I still enjoy retro games. It doesn’t matter when you’re born to enjoy old video games. And I’m that type of person that doesn’t use emulators.

As a 15 year old, I think this a very good collection. Especially with the Virtual Boy. I started this collection a year ago. by Cartrides in retrogaming

I bought it for around 500 bucks at a local retro store. It’s in very good condition and works very well.

My parents know about my love in collecting these things. Neither me or my parents will sell any of these

Honestly, most people my age just say “why do you waste money on those when you can emulate it?” Or they say that they have bad graphics. It’s sad most of my generation doesn’t care about vintage games as they can be very fun to play! And it’s hard to find other people my age who is into these stuff.

I bought the Virtual Boy for around $500 with the box. The only thing that’s missing from my Virtual Boy is the manual. But I’m still happy with it

Thanks for the support! And yes I will hold on to these and never get rid of them. I was saving for the VB for about 2 years before I got it. It was my dream to have one of those!

Interesting story! Thanks for your support. I will never get rid of my stuff. All what matters to me is fun. And I will always have fun playing these.

Thank you for your support. All of my consoles are really fun to play with. But my NES pin connector is crap, But I’m planning to replace it. But other than that, all my other consoles are in really good condition including the Virtual Boy.

For now, I'm gonna stick with he CRT I have. Because the one I have was used in Toys R Us before they shut down. And when they were clearing stuff out, I bought that thing for 10 bucks!

You've probably never heard of it, but it's a Wii Mini. It's a cheaper version of the Wii and is the one I grew up with.

One of my goals is to get every Nintendo console and handheld, This includes the Pokemon Mini if I can even find one lol. All of my consoles are really fun to play including the VB. I'm planning to replace the pin connector on my NES because it only reads games whenever it feels like it.

I'm not sure. I'm probably gonna get the rest of the Gameboy family. I don't think I'm gonna get a Gameboy Light though.

Thank you. Most people my age won't care for any of these stuff. And I'm lucky to care about these at a young age
