They just released Riviera: The Promised Land on Steam for $35, so I don't think retro games will maintain their value. Studios will just re-release them and charge full price again if the secondary market heats up.

I mean, card collecting and comics see reissues all the time, the originals still hold their value.

True, but a card or a comic isn't dependent on an equally old electronic device to be useful. New in box retro games have value as collector pieces, but used games that have modern re-releases are much less valuable.

That's a pretty specific game I'm surprised I recognise. Not a good one, but an interesting one.
