![]() However, I have to have some self-control to not abuse those save states, so I only save at the start of an act and at Star Posts. ![]() ![]() I use save states every time I play the 16-bit Sonic games, just to save my progress and not have to stress about playing it through in one go. I'm not saying these tools are inherently bad there are lots of good uses for them! It's mostly about being to have self-control and not abuse these tools. While this is a valid issue, and one that should be discussed, a majority of this post is written on emulation as an option, not a necessity, so I won't be writing much more on the rising price of retro gaming. The retro community shouldn't have any gatekeeping, especially not when it comes to money. Why do all this when they could just download a free emulator and free ROMs, and play it all right from their laptop? I'm glad options like emulators exist for those who just can't afford to buy consoles and/or cartridges. Maybe they want to play hundreds of games, but then they have to track down and pay for those cartridges, too. For some people, it's just not feasible to shell out big bucks for a console when they only want to play one or two games. The Gameboy Advance and Advance SP models have been steadily rising from the $50 mark, towards the $100 mark depending on the condition. Whether you like it or not, retro gaming is getting expensive. The biggest reason I've heard, and experienced myself, is money.
