/vr/ - Retro Games

I went to the flea market that I go to a lot about every other 2 weeks during the summer. There's always just... shit. Shit music being played loudly in the background (mostly hispanic music), idiots who overprice everything (lel @ one dude selling Sonic 2 for $45). It's hard to come across good, classic vidya as ALL WE SEE THERE ARE FUCKING SPORTS GAMES. AHHHHH. Makes me want to go mad at all those sports games!

However yesterday, while we were walking thru the market, I said "guys, I just want to find that one gem..." and there it was, a Gamecube. Beautiful condition, came WITH a Game Boy player, Super Mario World 3 for GBA, 2 controllers, and Zelda - Collector's Edition for GCN. I asked the kind lady how much her DVD players (which were below the GCN) were and she said "$25". Perfect. I didn't care about the DVD players, but she probably had no idea what the GCN was worth so I'd assume she would say the GCN was around the same price. I asked her finally, and she said the GCN was $25 too. I haggled hard with her as it didn't come with the A/V cable. I already knew I was getting a fantastic deal (Zelda CE alone is $30), but the lower the better, my friends. She just wouldn't accept my $20 offer. I then pulled out the crisp $20 bill, and was handing it it to her, and.. she took it!

Then I picked up this gorgeous, non-yellow SNES (I could not believe my eyes) at a guy selling right next to her. Got it for $45, 1 controller, Super Mario World and cables included!
