It’s nice that once 16-bit nostalgia got big, there were plenty of download services to make it legal to play these games for a much lower price than it takes to be a collector.
I was reading this and thought, “I’m pretty sure I picked up the copy of Seiken Densetsu 3 I own for mot much over retail price in Japan…” Buuuut, that was in (*looks up dates*), huh, 1996. I guess it doesn’t count as nostalgia when it’s only a year old.
