   Well, retro is where you can make some nice incidental money. Fanboys like   
   me are wiling to pay for stupid stuff. However, the game business is   
   sustained in much the same way a pawn business is, by bringing in used   
   merchandise and making money from it over and over again. You can sell a   
   basketball game dozens of times over the course of a year, but that Final   
   Fantasy Vana'diel clock only sells once.
