/vr/ - Retro Games

this past weekend's pickups are nonretro (pic related), but i do have a /vr/ related anecdote:

I came across a reseller booth at the flea market that fit the reseller stereotype 100% this weekend. They had rows upon rows of minty looking cartridges, pretty much ALL Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon related with no label damage whatsoever, hot items like CBFD and Super Metroid, and tons of systems, including some very nice SNES and colored N64 units, all lined up neatly, all individually priced to fit the eBay market, most of them sitting in display cases, waiting for their turn to be purchased, but priced too high to be worth it. Disgusting.

It was a video game graveyard, guys. Most of those cartridges will probably never see a loving home again, unless they end up on eBay in the end and some idiot actually bites.

So hard to find first-party Nintendo franchises for cheap lately. I guess I kind of lucked out with some of the titles in the pic, but even still I could have done a bit better (I averaged ~$7.50 per game here).
