At a lost on how to collect retro games.

Those were the days though. No memory cards and hardly any choice meant you got to know the games you had intimately. Also going around a friends house to play a game or games that you didn't own or to play consoles you didn't own was an event. I used to love going to one huys house to play r-type and another kids house to play mario. Nowadays people are spoiled and probably don't have anything close to what the experience was for us.

I had a master system with built in Alex the Kidd, I also had sonic, micky mouse Castle of illusion, enduro racer, the ninja, speedball and a spy game I can't remember the title of where you had a car that would change into a boat and a plane. I only beat sonic and Alex the kidd so the others had loads of replay value. I did get the ghost busters game but swapped that for one of the last commodore 64s with a floppy disc drive and a load of games. I don't think I ever looked at my collection and didn't know what to play ever.
