Over the last 5-10 years I have cut my spending on gaming dramatically. At first it was just small steps like not buying so many new games. This became adapting to only buying games at $30 or less,then $20 or less. Recently I find myself at the point that I generally spend $5-$15 per game with only games that become rare and look awesome or the occasional collectors edition breaking that rule. Now I am ready to hit a whole new level of cheap ass and I plan on skipping next generation(including Vita/3DS) until the prices come down 50-75%. This also includes my PC which is 6 years old and I HAD planned on scraping for a top end system. I will not instead wait for this one to die then get a mid end system for half the price ;(
I want to use this topic for two purposes. First and foremost to have you guys help me make a massive catalog of good games. I will update the 2nd post in this topic with suggestions that everyone tosses out. I want to create a massive list of titles we as gamers feel people have overlooked all the way from the first systems like the Odyssey/Atarari/NES to modern gaming. This list will help me and others find stuff we may have overlooked and can go back and enjoy on the cheap(generally at least!). Second purpose is just to give me(and hopefully others) a kick in the ass and motivation to keep playing those gems and save ourselves some cash! A support group if you will
One final note. I have posted this in 3 or 4 different forums I vacate. I will update the second post listing the games in each topic to reflect what is stated in the others. Hopefully this helps it be comprehensive.
