Besides nostalgia, whats another reason some of you got into retro gaming?
For me it was living through poverty. The late 2000's were kind of a low point for me, the newest gaming I could afford then was a DS with like one used game every few months. However, I inherited a fairly sizable collection of SNES games, which then lead me to emulate stuff for other old systems and develop the taste I have now.
Now I have a gaming PC, but I spend more time on my retro collection lol
