I have been collecting game consoles for nearly a decade, and the collection is beginning to round off. I have nearly every Atari, Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox console released in North America. It has taken a long time, and a lot of deal finding, but it is a rewarding task/hobby.

Thank you for your time.

That is so great! I only have a PS1 and PS4 currently.

Do you play them?

[–] FlaccidJim@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately time isn’t something I have much of, but when I do I try my best to sit down and play something. I usually tend to lean towards my NES or Super Nintendo, but I just recently got an Atari Jaguar and a copy of Doom. So that’s been the latest time waster : )

Have any good ones for your PS1? I always loved Crash Bandicoot 3, childhood classic for me!

I have one of my favorite games on it: Final Fantasy IX

I'd like to get the original Resident Evil, but the PS1 version is super expensive now

Trust me when I say; The video game market went up during Covid, and now it just denies to go back down. I’ve bought a couple consoles from Japan just because they’re cheaper, and some of them are region free.

I used to have a N64, GameCube, PS2, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, and Wii, but I gave them away. I never thought they'd go up in price so drastically.

I’m fairly sure all of those except the PS2 and Wii are region free (without modding). If you ever go to wanting them back, grab one on eBay from Japan. Significantly cheaper, and you can play the same games!

Thanks for the tip!

Final Fantasy IX always intrigued me, I love the look of the game to bits but idk whether I could get through it
