WWYD? Sell or keep these old games?

I have the original Spyro trilogy on PS1, but nothing to play them on anymore as our PS2 broke, and the PS4 we just bought is not "backwards compatible" (so you can't play old games on it). I've treasured them for years, played them so many times when I was a kid and have so many happy memories of them. BUT like I said, I can't play them, we now have a PS4 so can buy the new Spyro which is apparently identical to the old ones, just with better graphics. The original trilogy doesn't often appear on ebay so I'd probably get a good price for them.

The games are all playable, but the case on at least one of them is broken. It would be a bit of a wrench to let them go after all this time but if I sell them I could get a new game for the family that DD will enjoy.

So-
Be sentimental and keep them?
Or is time to let someone else enjoy them?

I'd either sell them or buy a PS1.

I bought a PS1 just to play spyro on a few years ago. Cost £16 for the PS and £23 for the game!

I wouldn't keep them, I have enough crap in my house though. Your memories of spyro are there, regardless of whether you have the game at the back of the wardrobe. Sell them and spend the cash on something nice

So I ended up selling/swapping them to a friend of mine who has never played Spyro before and he has a PS2. As payment for my games, he bought me the new Spyro trilogy, so we're both happy now Grin
