Gregory DG Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Those of you who have a CC2 (and even those who don't)... Are you going to keep your collection of games, or sell them off? If the point of collecting them is to play them, why keep them all if you have a CC2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Because the point of a CC2 isn't just to play games. It's a great development tool. And the point of collecting is collecting, not playing, though it does allow you to play them as well. Are you planning to sell off all your games just because there is now a 7800 emulator? Also, the CC2 is a bit more portable than a box full of 7800 games. So you aren't forced to play them only at home. Now we need someone to make a 7800 portable system. (Unfortunately it won't have the advantage of Atari designing the 2600 with a small, sawable central core.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_ruck Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Some of us like to collect and play. If there is a different between using MAME and a real 7800, certainly there is at least some tactile difference in handling a drawful of cartridges.

+DamonicFury Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Having already collected all the rarity 1-5 carts (along with a small selection of rarer titles), I plan to still keep that collection, even though I have a CC2. It is still enjoyable to have such a large collection of cartridges, plus it keeps my CC2 menu at an easily manageable size by keeping my cartridge games off of it. I probably won't be buying more rare games, however, unless I happen upon them in the wild. I will, however, still buy homebrew games in the future to support their amazing efforts.

Lemmi Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 ill be keeping my collection, because i dont know if i will even keep the CC2 yet maybe one day i will take it out of the box and try it, or i might never open the box, just dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I still don't have a job right now, so I am selling off a few things. I don't plan on getting rid of everything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128bytes Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Much better to keep the games -- that way you legally own the ROM's. That's what I'll do when I'm (hopefully) lucky to get a CC2 on the second run...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eidolon Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'd rather own the games, but at the moment I own neither. The CC2 is a great piece of hardware, and a way to play rare and expensive games not available to the casual collector on a real system. But for a "nostalgia" player like me who isn't really a collector of rare games, I could easily buy a 2600 and all the games I remember for less than a CC2+7800. That's why I sold my CC2 rather than have it sit in my closet unused as I sadld don't have enough time to play games to justify keeping one. --The Eidolon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 It took me a long time to build my collection, and I'm proud of it, so even though the CC2 rocks hard, I'm not selling them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Likewise... use the CC2 as a way to play all the games without having to bust out the rare originals all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I'd rather get the whole collection because the CC2 is too expensive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I'd rather get the whole collection because the CC2 is too expensive for me. What do you mean by "the whole collection"? If that includes the ER games like river patrol and quadrun, it is cheaper to just get the CC2 (if they have another run) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Obviously you can play all the hacks and the protos with the CC2. Now that I have a 7800 deck that is converted to use a conventional power supply, I have no problem hauling it from one place to another. I may even sell that dedicated 7800 power supply.
