Hi! I'm The Y2K Collector and this channel follows my collecting journey since the start of the pandemic. Some of my favorite moments in pop culture occurred during the 90's and early 00's. Video games along with movies, music and fashion guide my memories of that era. Video games have been one of the best ways for me to revisit some of those moments. Here I'll be discussing my thoughts on things related to retro video games and their impact on my life.
The fight to legalize video game emulation was lost.....

I avoid NYC because of people that look like you
No lets stick with 40 years. That way I can still be in my 30s in the 2040s.
Emulation is NOT illegal... downloading from a source instead of ripping your own owned games is what is illegal
Tri-County bazar has a great retro game store was awesome seeing you there.
That’s where I am in PA. PA is a beautiful state and I’m only an hour and a half from Times Square, two hours from Ocean City New Jersey, two hours from Ocean City, Maryland, 2 1/2 hours from Washington DC, an hour from the Poconos. There’s lots of flea markets yard sales. There’s also a lot of farmers markets. In fact, people look forward to nice weather just to have yard sales.
What mom and pop shops exist in NY? lol
no one cares. roms are being downloaded every day by the thousands. now you even have retro consoles like kinhank being sold on amazon with thousands and thousands of games installed. which is very convenient and saves space at home.
theres only one place to buy games at low prices in nyc and there is multiple places spread out throughout. that borough is the bronx. you just have to be willing to go into some rough neighborhoods to find that special mom and pop store.
Rose of a ninja! Good game
At the end of the day mega corporation's don't want to give product away for free. On top of that they may want to do something with these games themselves in the future. Also if these games have the laws changed that govern their distribution it could have major implications for how the developers and distributors have to operate as a business.
Does that include my vita? I have a psp and was going to mod it but now idk but haven’t sold my collection of games and umd movies yet😅😢
It's not illegal as long as you dump your own copies that you own.
so if i want to play pokemon fire red from childhood i have to go to a store and pay 200 dollars for a gameboy game?? lmfao nice joke
Emulation is most certainly the way to go.
So many don't want to fork over money to the companies and get their game for free is absolute BS I'm hoping they bust all that emulation BS .. Make them pay like everyone else does
One last thing the article u said they trying to change copyright law
Look as long as ur not stealing the games and the system ur emulating is older than 10 years I see no problem with it... but if nintendo and Sony had digital of there rarity games for sale I buy them.
Don't if covered in this video emulation is legal and emulator are legal but the roms are illegal but that's a Grey area. But emulators and emulation is it self legal.... the games or roms are not.. and you as I know it there still Grey area if u dump the roms them urself and own the games if that's legal what's illegal is download the roms is legal.... plus every 15 years someone try to get a provision of video games and game company's always freak out over them.... and technically since digital games un on emulation there illegal.... I prefer physical games... but am open to backing up my games....
There are some great flea markets in New Jersey.
it’s so sad video games (old, retro and pre-2010s) have to be treated this way. I wish this doesn’t go the same to Cartoons, Movies & Older Anime as well… :(
So has emulation. Now go enjoy spending money on cheaper games.
I don’t think that about flea markets down south here on the east coast there are a lot of good huge open air markets all around I could def see the north being too crowded for stuff like that tho
I from Washington DC and we used both cheesing and spamming and of course we called you cheesy for doing it but I'm old as hell
Ps2 emulator 🔥
You should link the article!
Yeah I am glad the retro community are doing a much better job at perserving retro video games than any mayor company that wishes to control everything they own and choose not to perserve it.
Time to have an entire hard drive of offline installers and full catalogues of emulation libraries for all console up to the ps4 generation. only fools spend money on insane markup prices for decade old games just go and get them nobody cares. nobody in the right head space or mindset is spending 70 dollars on killer7 on gamecube, just a random title and price i saw in this video. The ESA and all these other companies just want to remove all control gamers have over offline/local/old games because people can extract infinite amount of fun/value from them. we're moving to the all digital future and you know what that means? anti tamper denuvo shit will start being put in everything even media outside games, you're going to need to start learning to reverse engineer this games to unlock them
Preservation is dead, we as the end users are now responsible for preserving media, be it legal or not. Nintendo and other companies that sell their mini comsoles should stop emulating as well if that where the case. The average "normie" does not know what they have until they lose it.
We need to promote emulation so ppl who cant afford price hikes can still enjoy old video games. If not then previous generations of games will slowly get buried by price tags and modern half made games.
Everything in NYC is too expensive. Only fairly priced place in this general area is Digital Press Games in Garfield NJ.
Cartridge base games are my favorite to collect because of how disc base games are easily damaged and having disc rotted
I think the snes era is getting there soon. I just can't pay the prices the stores try to sell them for.
NYC in general is ass
Sounds like the perfect event to sell CIB with a fake box 😅
It's not just UA-camrs am sure you tubers don't help... but rarity plays the bigger part of price... but yeah and all thos gamer UA-cam are good.... I talk about games on my channel earthbound as gamers we have 3 choice we can play high price for games we can emulated the higher price or we can by reproduction. I have a super tiny channel
this isnt inflation its basic supply and demand
Am so behind in my videos. I need to edit and flim a lot of videos... good stuff
The overpriced games at Retro-X-Change!!!! 😂. As soon as you said Yonkers, I knew exactly where you were talking about.
Yeah I go there sometimes prices are crazy
The Fed is cutting rates now, so these retro games are going to rise even further. I am trying to buy all my Pokemon games 😭
Sonic Unleashed had a bunch of free DLC stages but I think they’ve long since been delisted. Don’t quote me on that. Those transformers games got delisted awhile back when they did the PS4/Xbox One remasters too so definitely hold on to them. And yeah Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 is definitely top tier and I remember when it was hard to find a copy for less than $30-40 and this was years ago.
If you can handle the driving you can try heading up to central NY. I went to retrogamecon the vendors up there had decent prices. Alot of buy 2 get one free. I still have a 35% coupon for micro play in Clay, NY. PA has the best retailers. Everything good on FB marketplace is always in PA or NJ. NYC best bet right now is GameStop Retro. Now it's easier then ever for ppl to sell/trade there old games again. I spotted NBA jam, maximum carnage and killer instinct in a Bronx GameStop today.
I'm originally a Jersey Guy, live in the south now, that's crazy Ds lites are that high. Are New York Gamestops selling retro games now? You should do a video, how to game on a budget in New york?, Great Video👍
It's just as bad here on the Westcoast!! 😢
I emulate games nowadays, but when I go to a retro game store, they're all in the West Coast, since I live there.
