The only way to get a decent retro gaming experience of anything before the PS3/360 era is on a 4:3 ratio CRT television, so I know that good ones still sell for decent prices.

VHS I'm less sure about - honestly it just wasn't ever a good media format, same with cassette tapes. It would be purely for nostalgia.

There's a VR experience of a "90's bedroom" that's amazing... you can use the TV/old consoles, right down to putting in the tapes and discs yourself, and it has built in emulators so the games actually play on the screen... not a brilliant way to play a game but the nostalgic experience is great.

Yeah the CRT's for Retro gaming is definitely pushing up the price.

Oh yeah, it's only for nostalgia, not quality. Even Betamax was a better format than VHS.

Also, just been going through my old CD's from the 90's. Most of them are Rap and Hip Hop. Some go for decent prices. Not life changing or anything, but 2pac's All Eyes on Me just sold for £28 on ebay, i have a copy of that. Same as The Chronic, i see it see for 20 something quid a couple days ago.

Most, just like VHS are worthless, but worth checking before you disregard them.
