Seems like a new record is being set for videogames every month.

 

Assuming this is real, it's a very impressive number.

Graded video games? Where will it end? :ohnoez:

Everyone knows that video comics about comics with relevant characters will crush those record prices. Until a Zelda movie breaks $1BIL.

I'll guess celebrity-worn clothing items graded by soil factor might be the eventual tipping point.

Putting aside these high end sales, the sheer volume of game collectors out there is staggering, and that's the real indicator that games will be the "hobby of the future". Just go type in "game collection" into youtube and see how many thousands of relevant videos pop up.

I'll quit collecting comics when they start grading chest hair :sumo:

I was never really into video games. Still am not. That's enough for me to avoid that hobby.

Wow. 1988. That's like two years after Batman: Dark Knight Returns came out. In comic-years about twenty minutes ago.

 

Nobody saved those? Or is it just the high-grade packaging that's rare?

 

The '80s are the "golden age" for video games.

 

It's the high grade packaging. The games are everywhere.

You're missing out. Not on the collecting front, but on the game-playing front.

He should start with Silver Surfer for the NES.

Somehow I don't see Roy as the type of guy who would sit in front of a TV playing Call of Duty for 4 hours.

Definitely. Playing a game like Fallout 3 or Skyrim is such an immersive and interesting experience. At this point, it's basically like being able to control a movie.

Last time I was really into video games was circa 1984 or so when I spent all my newspaper quarters at the local arcade in Agincourt Mall. Donkey Kong, Frogger, etc.

 

Since then I've been too busy trying to live the fantasy rather than play it. lol

Are you implying it's all silver or that it's all going to fall out anyway. You're almost right on both accounts.
