Yeah. First time was nostalgia for me. Reliving my high school gaming days.
Second time w/CIB was my 2-3 year shelf-queen episode.
Then I hit the "I just want to play N64 if the itch strikes, which is rare" so I picked up an Everdrive 64.
Then I remembered I don't know how to install roms and I hate roms and multi-carts - so I sold that.
Then my kids wanted to play the first Tony Hawk after playing Tony Hawk 4. Then I remember how much I love N64, I decided to get all the carts again.

Sounds like a waste of time and money I would've just kept them in the first place

any one else remembers back in like 2007-2009 no one played retro-games?
Today it seems you are the "cool" guy if you play the older games. Its very easy to find Twitch streams with older games now, this used to be a niche hobby IIRC.

don't be so hard on yourself just for being British.

haha DSH beat me to it. I was about to say "weird, 2007 was just about the time that I got back into the hobby."

2007 - I owned just a NES, Game Boy, SNES, maybe 15-20 games total, and they were all stashed in a closet in my parents' house.

Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, retro gaming birthed a creature so beautiful as you!

Same, just a bunch of it being games from when I was little if I did do any retro gaming(which meant lugging out my dad's NES the last time I used it before it was put in his garage XD ). It's kinda strange to see how I've taken a good bit of that but added some to it(got some on the way), and gone way beyond...hopefully I'll stick to what systems I already have until I finally am able to move out of my mom's house(though it's already getting way too dang small for what games I already have o_O need to get rid of the vhs's and books to digital so I can make room for stuff )
