all those 'rare' things are not worth much to me for their utility if the computing is done by a rare CPU the results are still the same You don't pay "utility value" for any collectible item. For retro computing, most of the times it's 0 or close to 0. you're right, I'm not really a collector i …

I don't think modern games are necessarily better or worse than older ones (there was a good number of stinkers back then too), but I definitely agree with a lot of points raised in this thread.
