Why do you keep your old video games?

[M3D]

I've got a mint new in Box N64 (well I've been anal about keeping it)
as well as some mint condition N64 games. In addition some old PS games.

I keep saying to myself (some day I might play them).
But realistically it's just more old shit (1996) in my house.
I realize I will never be able to buy this stuff again if I sell it.
But I never play it anyway.
Do you keep your old video games once their played/ as trophies?
I know it sounds mental. Am I living in a fantasyland thinking I'm going to need this stuff someday? Have I become my father? unwilling to get rid of crap I don't use?

Because I paid for those bastards, and I'll be damned if I sell a 50 dollar game for 5 dollars.

I still have my Commodore 64!!

[Pepe240sx]

Because I'm just nostalgic like that.

Because Mario 64 is one of the best video games ever. That game was revolutionary for the whole Mario series. I don't play video games anymore because I left my PS2 at home, but I remember when I was younger, playing Mario 64. It was amazing; possibly the best video game I've ever played when I was a kid.

I give my old consoles (and TVs and electrical appliances) to friend and their kids. I trickle down everything through friends but then again I am an "early adopter".

I trade in 99% of my old games except those few gems but since getting the latest version of a game I very seldomly go back to play a prior version. Like GT4, GT3, GT2, GT.

I don't even know where most of my stuff is. Who cares, you could get emulators and d/l games for just about any system ever made.
