There’s no question about it. You and I both know that as sad as it may be, our Dreamcasts and N64s are going out of fashion quicker than Mark Davis from the crucible when Hendry gets his act together tonight (why do I get the nasty feeling I could be eating my words by MIST?!).
However, as technology passes our beloved machines by, there is an upside – the inevitable fall in game prices. However big your disposable income, the sheer number of great titles for both machines pretty much guarantees almost everyone to have a couple of games they’ll want to pick up on the cheap.
Companies like SR are in a great position to do something about this, but they need to know there is a demand for cheap ‘retro’ titles, and of course, which we want and which we’re happy to let slide from our memories forever.
My suggestion, we all voice our support now for cheap titles a few months down the line (assuming we support it, of course), and that we offer up some suggestions for the kind of titles we want to buy, or would if we didn’t have them already. Tony take heed.
My lists;
N64:
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Mario 64
Super Smash Bros
Mario Golf
Mario Party 3 (or one of the games from the series)
Conkers BFD
Zelda - Ocarina of Time
Zelda – Majora’s Mask
New Tetris
F1 WGP
ISS 2000
Operation Winback (advertise it – people don’t know what they’re missing as it was overshadowed by the perfect dark hype)
Dreamcast:
Crazy Taxi
Soul Caliber
Shenmue
Half-Life
Jet Set Radio
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
Phantasy Star Online
GTA 2
(A little shorter than N64 as I get to play Dreamcast less (friends), so I don’t know so much)

Maybe it's just cos everyone already owns it. Goldeneye and Mario were the only games you could get with the console a while ago, so presumably pretty much everybody has at least one of them?
Why don't they sell slighty older games like Goldeneye in UKn64.com I looked for it to review it and all I could find was the DVD it's a classic!
It all depends on how much SR can get their games for in the first place, you don't want to see them making a loss, do you?
Mario is still available on the N64 'budget' label (although this is a slight contradition in terms as it usually retails at £29.99) but I believe that Nintendo 64 games are becoming harder to find from suppliers nowadays.
All in all, I think SR do a fine job with their older game prices and I think they cut the game prices down wherever possible.

Okay, maybe I was wrong, but I'd expected a few more people to have something to say on this. Just in case nobody bothered reading it because of the lame title, I'll pop it up to the top. If it disappears off the first page of topics again I'll assume nobody cares and do nothing to make you see it again.
I would like to see SR sell compies of Super Mario 64, I would buy it cause I love the game, Mario in Full 3D....GEORGEOUS!!!!!
Imagine what Mario 128 will be like.......HEAVEN!
(Being a Christian I use that term bluntly, which I suppose I shouldn't, but you know what I mean....Gaming Heaven...shall we say!)
