Retro Gaming: The Unloved

November 27, 2013 By ausretrogamer

One man’s trash, is another man’s treasure. Or so the saying goes. For those that consider their items as being worthless, especially retro gaming gear, I guarantee they would be considered quite valuable by someone else – someone else just like me!

Have you ever rescued an old piece of video gaming or related item from the side of the road or a garage sale?
