Its been quite a time since it happened, but i never got the right time to tell you a story about me and my way to a game I really wanted to own in my life.
No, its not a console game, its a *takes a deep breath* -PC GAME-.
I know i know, many collectors wont understand, but there are quite a few PC which have a decent value for me. And this game of course, has a big value for me, since i love the game.
It’s called – R – o – s – e – n – k – r – e – u – z – s – t – i – l – e – t – t – e –
[ Rosenkreuzstilette – ローゼンクロイツスティレッテ ]
and it’s a japanese PC game. How i found it? Well,
the short story.
The more we go into the 21th century, the harder it gets to find retro games and consoles for appropriate prices. I’m searching for stuff on a mostly daily pace, but whenever i see something interesting its like 50+ € per GAME. Collecting stuff was never harder for me, still I try my best to find the stuff i really want to own someday. I also blame my Region (PAL) and also my country a bit for it. There is a very small “scene” for retro games and consoles. And they have ridicilous prices for their stuff. In the U.S.A. for example, you could go to flea markets and buy a bunch of NES games for 20bux even a few years ago. In germany you can be happy if you get like ONE game for 20 bux, and its mostly a soccer game. Well, also the time of the internet makes it way more easy to find out what the actual value of old stuff is. Just 1, 2 clicks on ebay, and add around 10% of the price you find there. Yeah, thats how most people do it. Thats why i leave 90% of the flea markets, more frustrated than happy. But sometimes i get lucky, get a crash bandicoot for a small price, or a spyro. But not the really old stuff. I’m glad i atleast got Mega Man X PAL for SNES for a still high price. But i got it, i looked for it for many years, now i will get it, soon i hope. I will show a picture when it arrives. 🙂
Some stuff hinders me from updating my blog lately, i apologyze for that.
My main project, “Airbrushing and Modding the SNES Case” stucks cause of the hot weather. I don’t have a basement where its cold enough to airbrush something, you need around 18 to 24 degrees and (Yes i’m not kidding) at the moment we have some kinda heatwave going here ~__~ which relates in +24 degrees and not really working atmosphere at all. But everything arrived and i will show a picture of it ^-^ – no the telephone has nothing to do with it 😀
