Do you play your games? Are you afraid of insertion marks?

[Green Beret]

Hi guys
I am playing all my games regardless the high value some of the may have. I am telling this because Hucards can have insertion marks on the back. Heavy insertion marks have prevented me from buiyng a particular game despite the better deal and I went for the better condition one.

Despite that I play my games and whatever happens.

Is there any way to have less marks while inserting a Hucard?

Thanks

Worry about insertion marks?  Get the f*ck outta here! 

I'm not afraid to play 'em because they might get a little bit worn.  Unless the marks are so bad that it looked like it was abused (and might have other issues), a worn back wouldn't stop me from buying a game either.

I find that the best way to prevent insertion parks is to use rubbing alcohol and remove all of the art/paint, so there is no longer any worry about this problem.

Or, you can dunk them in paint.

Some collectors will use a flash cart to play games so they can keep their originals minty in the case. However, at that point, I don't see a reason to even own a physical copy of the game.

It's like people who buy a snazzy car, but they're too afraid to drive it because someone might plow into them. Why even own something nice if you can't use it?

because you can post pictures on Facebook and get tons of likes from strangers, and delude yourself into thinking your life doesn't suck, and you're not a piece of shit.

I usually only get insertion marks when I go in dry...

I still play my original copy of Magical Chase which is priceless to me because of sentimental value. I don't know what the benefit is of dying knowing that my games have fewer insertion marks, just so that they can be tossed in the trash or sold to flippers through an estate sale.

Im going to have all my stuff burned with me, and then everyone can snort whats left.

ayyyyy.

Take that you flipper f*cks.

PCE is the new Neo, I feel like I might need to end it all now.

I am glad everybody is playing his games  I think PC Engine will become the new NEO though and prices will rise up much more... In my opinion PC Engine games are above the other 2 16bit systems in terms of graphics and framerates and I can compare PC Engine to arcade pcbs.

I was mostly curious if some people who own Turbografx high dollar games, play them

I don't have Magical Chase, Super Air Zonk, Dynastic Hero, or Tonma, but I've got the rest of 'em and play 'em as often as I can.  What difference does it make what they're worth?  It's not like their durability is inversely proportional to their value, and I've not seriously damaged a single game in decades of ownership; there's a far greater chance of them being lost in fire, flood, theft, tornado, alien invasion, etc. than me ruining them through casual use.
