/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1450816
>not buying games CIB

What's the point then. Might as well just emulate.

I bought a link to the past pal boxed complete in excellent condition for $220, how did I do?

>>1450824

Quite a leap. You're a veritable Mike Powell of logic.

>>1450859

How "excellent" are we talking here?

Nearly mint, the hints book hasnt been opened yet either

>>1450824
oh fuck off collecting carts is nice I don't need a box art to jerk off to.

>>1450875
>implying boxes and the manuals weren't the best things about old videogames

You make me sick to be posting on the same board as you.

>>1450887
>>1450875
>>1450824

Well, naturally, I always TRY to get it with case and manual. They're nice to have.

But I can settle for without when the games are this old.

>>1450887

How did he imply that though? Not everyone wants to collect games in as complete and immaculate condition as possible and then store them in a humidity controlled vault. Some people just want to play games.

>>1450816
Just this for $2
kind of like hexen and doom

>>1450859
>Paying over $60 for a videogame

>>1451040

>>1451040

I paid $250 for Panzer Dragon Saga. No regrets.

>>1451064

Uh, *Dragoon

>>1451064
You are the reason reseller scum exist

>>1451080

Hard to feel bad when it's one of my favourite games and it's well over $300 these days. Besides, what other option do I have to play it? Saturn emulation is beyond shit.

>>1451083
Saturn emulation is actually pretty solid, I play PDS in SSF all the time. There's also modding.

>>1451083
>It works fine on ssf.

But then you knew that and its just poor bait.

>>1451119

Well, to be fair to Saturn emulation I haven't even tried it in the last couple years after my initial disappointment. I still don't care. I'm glad I bought it.

>>1451120
>bait

Why? Because you don't agree with how I spent my money? Why do you care? Jesus, 4chan has ruined you.

>>1451080

Not that guy but only 12000 or so copies were pressed, or so I'm told.

>Mischief Makers: $10
>Neo-Geo Pocket Color: $30
>Metal Slug 2nd Mission: $6
>Dark Arms - Beast Buster: $3
>Doom 64 CiB: $35 (overpaid on this one)
>New Nintendo 64 AV Cords: $3

My last 3 /vr/ pickups.

1. A Valis II model older than I am. I've been cleaning it up, but I'm hesitant to put it together yet. I don't think I have enough experience to do it justice.
2. A Sailor Moon puzzle game. I bought it thinking it was a different Sailor Moon SNES puzzle game. I still can't figure out how to play it, but I think I may need to track down a mouse to make it work.
3. Devil Hunter Yoko for Genesis. Was originally sealed, but I got it cheap enough that I had no qualms about unsealing it. Really fun, but I can't beat the stupid shrimp boss in stage 3.

>>1450824
Obvious bait, but you're still a shit eater

Dreamcast with cables,
13 games with boxes and manuals,
3 official controllers,
4 VMU,
1 rumble pack
all in good condition
= 20 €

from a kid and his dad on a flea market, they asked 25.

>>1451583
What games ?

>it's 45 minutes away
>it looks like it's in pretty damn good shape
>I have an enclosed truck to pick it up
>I have a perfect place in my basement for it
>I have people to help me move it

I am so fucking close /vr/. Talk me into/out of it.

>>1452004

It's a fucking arcade cabinet. It's your wildest dreams come true.

Do it.

A store near me is selling a Neo Geo Pocket Color. Comes in the box with all the necessities. Has one game, Dark Arms: Beast Busters.

They want $49.99 for it. Should I?

There's a shop in my town that has all major consoles on display and not for sale. These consoles have not been played for years... I want to give them a good home, especially the unloved CDI and Saturn. Consoles are to be played.

>Tazmania = $5.00
Huehuehue what a rip-off
Have fun with the minecart level.

>>1452031
I'm not an expert on NGPC value, but that's better than the $79.99 asking price from my local store.

Went on a bit of a shopping spree yesterday. got some super rad Saturn games to add to my collection of 250+ Saturn games. The boxed Virtua Cop is complete, which was a super neat find.

>>1452221
You're not going to play any of those games all the way through.

>>1450859
>pal
you failed.

>>1452221
>spending money on lots of vidya
>has literally solid unpainted rock for walls
>9 year olds bedframe & sheets to match
well I guess you've got your priorities figured out anon.

>>1450816

Overall, you did below average. Good price on KRA though

>>1452309
>>1452309
Well, this is actually my girlfriends temporary room while her new apartment is being prepared.

This is my game room in my house.

>>1452276
I beat Shinobi and Galactic Attack last night. Going to do the rest soon. I try to beat all the games I buy and I don't buy more until I'm done with the ones I have.

>>1452194

Might just be a difference of area.

I live in a very rural town, so I figure prices tend to be lower here.

>>1452417
>Godzilla vs. Hedorah poster
You're all right.

>>1452004
What two games does it come with?

>>1452454

>read "I beat Shinobi" and want to know which one he beat
>look at the image posted earlier
>oh

That's worst possible Shinobi game you could've beaten.

>>1453146
it wasn't the best game I've ever played, but it was charming

>>1452004
Now that I think about it, it could work as a nice piggy bank as well. You'd just throw coins at it whenever you played and after some pile up inside get them out and have magic money.

>>1450824
what if you buy a lot from a collector and one of the game's is mint with the original 1992 receipt from kaybee toys in it while another still has the shrink wrap on it and the lot cost only $30?

does that get you wet?

Picked up Iron Sword for news today at a retail store while waiting for the wife. Fabio was all alone in a pile of sports titles and I couldn't leave him there. Don't know anything about the game, other than Fabio on the cover... Probably terrible but its worth a laugh to show friends.

Grabbed this for 5 Aussie dollars doos

>>1455478
that is an amazing pick for that price anona, great.

does it work?

>>1455560
Not sure, I need to get some batteries, but it doesn't look broken

Just found a japanese copy of Suikoden online for 2 bucks, along with Ys IV for 3.4. Didn't even think about it.

>>1451293
That Sailor Moon game looks really cool. Man I don't know why but SFC boxes looks really great for some reason, I just want to have them all.

>>1456989
I've always liked them because they look like VHS slip cases. I always felt like horizontal SNES boxes were way too bulky.

>>1451037
>hexen

ohhhh shit

>>1452031
No, I paid $40 for a CIB NeoGeo Pocket Color with 6 games and only got $50 resale for it on Ebay of all places. The NGPC SUCKS. That screen is HORRID. You can't ANYTHING ON IT.

>mfw playing it after I got it having never played one before outside of emulation

>>1456993
Yeah and there's also the fact that the front in SFC covers is like 90% artwork instead of SNES boxes which had so much padding with those huge ass black borders it almost made them look like a Platinum/Greatest Hits version or whatever.

>>1451237
>Dark Arms - Beast Buster

That game fucking rocks.

Here's most of the stuff since the last thread.

Castlevania: Bloodlines and a few others are in the mail.

I think I hit the jackpot

Just bought a factory sealed copy of Shadow Tower for PS1. Pretty happy.

Waiting for a N64 controller along with a controller pak and Hybrid Heaven.

bump

>>1450824
for disc based systems I completely agree, but for cartridges I don't give a shit about the box. Genesis cases I sort of understand because they're at least hard cases, but n64 and other cases are flimsy and just annoying to keep around. Also cartridges are tanks so you really don't need the case to keep them from being damaged

>>1450816
I traded my roommate an mtg card for his genesis and 4 games. It was a Verdant Catacombs which is worth $50 currently. We valued the genesis at $20 and the games at $5 each. I also got some xbox and 360 games for the leftover value and some other cards. I'm planing on going to my local retro vidya store to pick up some sweet genesis games, and if I can't find any I'll probably pick up Phantasy star or something from ebay

I put money down on a Virtualboy.

She wants $200 in total... So I guess I'm not saving any money, but once I played it, I knew I had to have it. The games it had were really fun.

It's the VB with stand, the AC Adapter that plugs into the controller, and 4 games. Wario World, Vertical Force, Galatic Pinball, and Red Alarm.

Going to have to pick up Mario Clash and Mario Tennis online...

Not retro, but I also got a Steel Battalion set. Mind the mess.

>>1452004
i've seen one for 150, no games though.
i have 0 room for it and no one to move it, nor the money to buy it right now.
saldy the ad is gone.

>>1457256

bangaio. nice find

Only thing /vr/ related I bought recently (and recently is kind of stretching it since I bought it about a month ago) was an Everdrive 64. Bought the deluxe from Stone Age Gamer because I'm a lazy bastard and didn't feel like gutting one of the sports games at the local pawn shop when someone else could do it for me and make it look better to boot.

When I got it in I realized pretty quickly that I pretty much already have 90% of the N64 games I actually care about playing already. Only game I didn't have that I've actually played more than once is Snowboard Kids. And fuck, that game is a memory card hog.It's still nice to not have to take the cartridge out of the console EVER though.

>>1451046

$20 for the PC versions of RE2 and MGS1

So I just bought pic related from my boss for $5.00....

-A Playstation, used & complete in box with an extra controller and Tiger Woods Golf '99
-Some Sony printer that I've never heard of that he paid FOUR HUNDRED NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS for brand new, a $20 pack of photo paper and an overpriced $24 USB cable.

The printer is unused. I'm sure I'll never use it but he said I could have that too, and I like old shit like that purely for nostalgia. The reason he let me have everything for $5 is because he found his PS in the back of his closet, called up a used game store and that's what they offered him for it. So he asked me if I wanted it, and shit, for $5, of course I bought it.

I regrettably sold my PS plus a handful of games about 10 years ago or so, so I jumped at the chance to replace it.

He also has a NIB N64 that the used game shop offered him $15 for. I saw a used in box N64 on eBay go for $100 pretty recently, but I have no idea what they're worth really. Mine's boxed up in my closet. What do you guys think?

Psx controller- 2 dollars
Truxton original- 7 dollars
Beside the bad label, is ok.

>>1451237
>Neo-Geo Pocket Color: $30
>Metal Slug 2nd Mission: $6
You luck bastard! In hueland, NGP cost 150 dollars and this game is 100 dollars.
Its mostly impossible find a good and cheap Sega Saturn in hueland.

I just want a copy of MK64 for under $30..

I got a shitload of N64 games the other day, but they turned out to be either sports games or games I already own.

Man, I really just want a goddamn copy of MK64 for under $25.

>>1459578
Good luck. I have a big stack I picked up for $1-$5 over the last 6 months. There's nothing left here except at resellers. I'm guessing it's the same pretty much everywhere. Your only real chance now is to beat the resellers to a sale some how.

>>1458284
is that bad boy hooked up to your PC?

>>1459458
Sorry to say but I'm pretty sure that Truxton is a bootleg.

>>1458284
clean your room

>>1460578

Not the Anon that posted that, but the cart looks legit, just worn to hell.

So, I've got the next three days off from work and I just got paid. Decided to celebrate a little.

I went to two different local vidya stores. One of them was having a 'March Madness' sale. They had a big shelf of assorted games that were all half-off. It was pretty much all their games in the store that weren't locked up in glass cases.

>Saturday Night Slam Masters, cart only ($5.00)
>Ms. Pac-Man, cart only ($1.50)
>Judge Dredd, CIB ($1.50)
>NBA Jam TE, CIB ($1.50)
>Ratchet and Clank, CIB ($2.50)
>Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, CIB ($3.50)

The second store I went to was my usual place. No sales so the games were more expensive there.

>Sonic 3, cart only ($7.00)
>Sonic Spinball, cart only ($4.00)
>Altered Beast, cart only ($3.00)
>Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, CIB ($5.00)
>Sega 6-PAK, CIB ($7.00)
>Front Mission 3, CIB($9.00)

Eh, I feel like I might have overpaid at the second place. But I like 'em, they keep their stuff ultra-clean.

Pardon the two non-retro games. In case you're curious, the pizza is extra cheese, mushrooms, onions, bacon, and spicy sausage.

>>1461617

Sonic Spinball is like the worst game ever.

>>1461617
>light beer

>>1461701

It was the absolute cheapest by volume, sue me. They were outta cases of Ice.

>>1461617

>american beer

>>1461709
so you don't drink to get drunk, you just enjoy the taste of piss?

>>1461709
I hear ya, but I'd rather compromise on a 6-pack of something good if you're just being cheap.

>>1461712
Low quality b8

>>1461712
>beer at all

>>1461720
thats not bait America has the worst beer compared to Canada or Europe

>>1461731
Yuengling's pretty damn good.

>>1461731
You probably think that because you've never had any American beer outside of Miller, Bud or Coors.

>>1461731
mfw there are people in this world that drink beer that isn't brewed in Colorado

>>1461793
I would drink anything grown in america its probably all infected with GMO shit

>>1461783
Doesn't matter its still all watered down. American budweiser is sugar water which I have to admit is better than the disgusting rodeo clown piss budweiser in Canada. But its still all pretty weak

>>1461720

I just wanted some cheap lawnmower beer to keep me slightly buzzed while off work. If it was a special occasion or if I didn't play my entertainment budget on vidya I would've gone with Kentucky Ale or Schlitz Classic...or a big bottle of whiskey.

But this isn't vidya. What's important here is that the Sega 6-PAK is awesome.

>>1461793
enjoy your beer flavoured water

Any retro stores in Melbourne/Australia preferably cheap to get consoles/games.
I'm thinking of Cash Converters

>>1461796
>Doesn't matter its still all watered down.

Well now you're just talking out of your ass.

On topic, what's a new in box N64 worth these days? My boss is selling his as I alluded to in this post:

>>1459179

Should I buy it from him? I still have my old N64 in the box and everything, but his is brand new.

>>1461837
Sorry to steer off topic but you do know American beer is notorious for being watered down right?

Anyone else refuse to buy games online?

Typically I make my purchases at the flea markets, used game stores, and yard/garage sales in the area.

Next week I'm going to pick up a beautiful Earthbound cartridge for $160.

>>1461735
>Yuengling
Mah nigguh.

They finally just brought this to Massachusetts, and I can't wait to conquer Castlevania 1-3 this weekend while slugging them back.

>>1461861

I think what you mean is that CHEAP beer is notorious for being watered down.

You are aware that the United States has tons of micro-breweries and more reputable beer, right? Go try an American strong ale.

>>1461907
Was going to say this, but you already said it for me.

I don't think the guy we're replying to has actually ever tried a beer from the United States except for one of the big 3 shitty mass-produced beers that I already mentioned.

>>1461918

And those beers aren't awful, really. They're priced appropriately.

You don't want to take a high-dollar beer on a fishing trip or something. You want something that doesn't break your bank, is easy to drink, and you won't fucking destroy you within a few cans or bottles.

That's when you go for cheapass American lagers. They serve their purpose.

Then you can save the Arrogant Bastard for that special evening.

Not exactly recent, but about a month long campaign on eBay in a quest to not get completely ripped off.

Tetris and Tomb Raider were from resident namefag Apartment Raptor for $20. They came bundled with a GBC and they were SUPPOSED to be a gift, but it never got picked up. I snagged Kirby for $5 shipped and Links Awakening for $10. Not the best of deals for that one, but if I wanted perfect deals, I would go to a flea market with my invisible leg-powered automobile.

Harvest Moon was a godsend. It was $12 shipped, but worth every penny. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in ages. The last two were in a bundle for $5 shipped as well, they were a little dirty and that cheesed me off but its not the end of the world.

All in all, $50 for all these and two more that are coming in the mail? How did I do for an eBay shopper?

>>1461929
Yeah, I agree, they're fine for what they are. I just get sick of reading "hurr >American beer" from underage b&s who probably aren't old enough to legally drink.

>>1461617
>mushrooms
Everything else sounds good, but why would you want a filler food on your pizza?

>>1461867
I don't refuse I've just never seen a need. The prices are the same as a shop, maybe more with shipping, and I can buy, test, play/replace the game in hours with a shop as opposed to weeks or months online.
Only down side is I have to leave my basement and the yellow face burns us.

I got some things in the mail.

Apologies for the crappy quality

>>1461821
This is Australia... There are no cheap games....

>>1463320
But Earthbound isn't a computer game. It's a console game.

Checkmate, Atheists.

>>1452417
Pretty good would play vidya and watch godzilla with

Boxes and Manuals are great, but sometimes a /virtual-reality/ bro or sis must play a game for the game and not for the packaging.

That being said, I recently got a cart-only copy of Body Harvest through ebay. It should be here this or next week. I'm a big DMA/Rockstar fan and this game seems to be difficult to emulate properly.

>>1461617
>American beer
>Light beer
but you got decent prices on stuff bought in the first store

i bought one of these a little while ago for $4 from some jap retailer that was selling them as non functional. cleaned it up with some alcohol and it works like new, which is nice considering i paid $4 and it's in really good shape cosmetically. only problem now is that the controller's cable is really fucking short. are all jap controllers like this? the cable is literally like 2 or 3 feet shorter than my US controllers

>>1465394
most japanese controllers have really short cords, especially from that era. space is not something they have a lot of in japan.

Here are some of my recent purchases.

>>1465415
i knew they don't have much space, but damn i didn't think they actually had shorter cables because of it. i guess i learned something

>>1465420
The famicom's cable cords are maybe 2ft long, AND they're attached to the console.

>>1465426
*controller cords

fuck it you knew what I meant

Bought an instruction manual for Majora's Mask, a N64 controller pak, and Metal Slug 3 on Steam.

As for non /vr/ but vidya-related purchases, bought a new video card for my gaming computer.

>>1464895

Go play Light Crusader before I come over there and smack you around.

>>1465417

I can't read that shit.

But the cases look in good condition, so I'm gonna guess that you did a good job. Also Sonic R, I recall loving the soundtrack.

>>1465368

It's got problems.

But it was highly praised when it came out and did way better than the movie it was based on.

It still holds up. Reminds me of Robocop vs. Terminator. The only beef I have with it is that the graphics are a little cluttered and makes it hard to tell what parts of the environment you can interact with.

>>1465464

How does it differ from the SNES game?

>>1465470

SNES version is better. I'm a Genesis guy, but the SNES game is pretty definitive.

They changed the jump mechanics a bit for the Genesis version. You drop like a rock so certain jumps now have to be pixel-perfect.

They're both playable and essentially the same game though.

>>1465462
been playing it, brah. I don't know how this game slipped under my radar for so long, Treasure knocked it out of the park again.

Recently bought Age of Empires 1 for mac, with big box. Great charity store find. Am trying to sell it now. Also, Halo 1 for mac (big box). And easily the best find, Doom II for PC (big box) on floppy disc, in great condition. Trying to sell all of them.

Still waiting on SMT2, Ys IV and Suikoden to arrive.

>>1465523
Were you the cunt who bought the last copy of Legend of Mana off JGS?

There's still one though

>>1465562
What the hell? I ordered a bunch of shit on Tuesday and I swear I couldn't find it on there.

>>1450816
why do you buy that shit when you can emulate it perfectly and get all of the gaems for free?

>>1465565
You must have mistyped something because I swear they seem like they always have Legend of Mana in stock. It's still with the same discount I got it for so it might be worth picking up now.

How did I do, /vr/?

Copy paste of another thread on /v/:

I went to a little city in mexico last weekend and found all these in a "tianguis", that tales of phantasia actually got me off guard, I never expected to find that in some god-forgotten city in the middle of who cares.

How did I do?

>>1466242
Mexibro here. What city, if I may ask? And how much?

But Tianguises and Pulgas (flea markets) are goldmines of retro vidya, a friend found Mega Man X OST collection by Capcom in one.

>>1466256
Obregon Sonora, it was called "Tianguis de Mexico" too many stuff at cheap prices, Tales of Phantasia was 200 pesos, silent hill 150 pesos, the genesis games where 100 pesos for all of them, the nes games where about 50-100 pesos each one.

>>1466296
Thanks.

>>1466296
Holy fuck those are some insane finds right there then.

>>1461947
>harvest moon for $12

Hell yeah, anon, excellent find. I'm officially jelly.

>>1450887
Calm down, it's just boxes. Don't be a shit.

I haven't bought anything in a long time, but today I was in a cool store and decided to pick some stuff up. The big popular names were stuck in an overpriced case (ie. Mega Man Legends 2 for 85 bucks) but there were some less expensive games that I snagged (since as Guybrush said, never pay over 20 bucks for a computer game).

Legacy of the Wizard
Baseball Stars
The Battle of Olympus
Batman (NES)
Unlimited SaGa (CIB, excited for this one, I love Kawazu's stuff)
GCN-GBA Link Cable (Tomee brand. Worried about this one since I don't know about the quality of their stuff)

total was 44, which I thought was pretty good.

>>1466242
I suppose even if you can understand Japanese it might still be hard to play Phantasia natively on an actual system out here, at least not without modding it. Still something pretty neat to find if you like the series, and not something you see around every day.

>>1466580
>battle of olympus
One of my favourites OAT.

Picked up a complete copy of Monster Rancher for the Playstation, along with Parasite Eve this week for $12 each. Not bad at all considering the local prices I've seen for each.

On that note, that same store I got both at wants nearly $30 for Parasite Eve II. Granted, I'm not real familiar with the series myself just yet, but that seems like a pretty big increase in price; makes me curious if they're charging that for decent reasons, or just trying to screw people out of money the way they usually do (seen them ask nearly $30 for a game that other local places have for $11, for example).

>>1466663
I wondered that myself when I saw Mega Man Legends 2 priced at nearly double the price of Mega Man Legends (which was nothing to sneeze at itself). Though I heard that MML2 is much rarer or more sought after for some reason.

>>1466679
Haven't played the Legends series, but I've heard the second game was either more polished or got a smaller print, I don't know. Where I live, Legends goes for about $30, while Legends 2 is about $70-80 out here. On a related note, Tron Bonne goes for over $120 incomplete here.

Yeah, it seems the costs only get higher from 1 to 2 to Tron. It's crazy. I'd probably just burn CDs for those games, provided I ever get my PS2 modded.

>>1466769
Yeah, as much as I love physical copies of my games, there's times where one can't simply justify dropping a ton of money on a game simply because that's what the current asking price for it is (unless I already know it's going to be something I'll get my money's worth from, like a game in a long running series I really enjoy; and even then I do my research to see if it's actually a good entry).

>>1465828
I was thinking of shelling out for shovelware for a Gameboy Raffle/Lottery here after I get my fill. Need some turds among the gems, and for some reason there's a bunch of Mary Kate & Ashley games on eBay

>>1466242
Damn nigga, those are some good ass games.

Yesterday I picked up a Model 1 Genesis with all hookups and 2 controllers (One third-party) for $25. I also got Sonic Spinball, Mortal Kombat II, and Virtua Fighter 2 for $3 each. I shelled out $12 for Phantasy Star II.

Man some of you guys pay a lot for games, luckily around me I have 5 flea markets all with people who don't know gta they're selling. This was my last weekend haul.

Ordered an expansion pack for an N64 I have just to complete it. I hate the fact that people can get away with taking these out and selling them separately for more than a complete system.

Also, I just won my first Genesis on ebay for 12 bucks, not sure if it works though. I've never had a Sega console before, what are some good bargain bin games for it? Also, if this thing doesn't work, what are some common issues with them? It's a model 2.

>>1468323
Model 2s I find are pretty solid but sometimes the power input on the system can get loose over time.

Pick up any sonic, they usually are pretty cheap. Games are usually pretty cheap for genesis too so you Should be able to find some good stuff easily.

>Sonic and Knuckles with cardboard case, manual, everything in near-mint condition
>30 dollars

Worth it?

Heh heh

I just remembered this one time when I was a kid, we went to a videogame store on the base and found a copy of Yoshi for the gameboy. It didn't have a price tag on the cart and the merchant didn't know what to do, so he pulled the tag off a copy of Superman n64 and we paid for that instead.

The price was $0.00

I got Halo 3 CIB at Gamestop for $5. Did I win ?

>>1468826
A really bad game.

Added a VirtualBoy to my collection.

The games are really fucking good, and cheap. It's just the unit that's expensive.

Got
>Mario Tennis
>red alert
>galactic pinball
>wario land
>some other spaceship shooter who's name I forgot

I need Jack Bros and Mario Clash

>>1468906
>slim PS2
Disgustoso

Just added the Sega Saturn wipeouts to my wipeout collection. This is my full collection. £11 for both, not bad.

>>1468943
noice
didn't they put out a vita wipeout though ?

>>1468943
This pleases me greatly. Very nice collection, anon.

Just picked up Tomb Raider II for PS1 for 50p. Not bad.

>>1468740

If you like boxes, I guess.

S&K goes for about $6 otherwise.

More cheap stuff:
Streets of Rage 2
Bonanza Bros.
Biohazard Battle
Quackshot
Vectorman 1/2

Those should all be well under $10 each.

This for 15 Euro

.....to be honest, I don´t know if this is even decent but I didn´t find it cheaper anywhere.....

>>1469363
Pretty good price for an old PS2 game, only issue is that the overall plot is spread over four games.

>>1469370
Sure but I really didn´t find it any cheaper.I also got Dark Chronicles for 25 Euro which I assume to be ok.

In general those fucking hack games are hard to find, jesus at least if you dont want to spend a fortune.Same for old FF´s.

>>1469068

Man, I can't find SoR2 outside of the 15 dollar range anywhere. It's bumming me out.

why can you buy sega shit for under 50$ but a snes costs 50$ up alone?:/

>>1469486

Because SEGA shit isn't fashionable.

>>1469495

Yeah, Nah, go fuck yourself. Sega games are the most expensive things to collect.

30 bucks. How'd I do?

I got a Mega Drive 2 with one controller and the wires, four games for it and a box full of Atari 2600 games for $3

Today was a good day.

Found and bought this for 10€ +shipping last week

Cool guy, though he didn't name the games and couldn't tell if it even works, pretty rough condition too.

Spent a full day cleaning the games, console and resoldering both controllers.

Bought a original power adapter for it and it works like a charm.

Can't wait for the flea markets to start in my area, love picking up such packages

Went to a flea market today. The loose carts were 6€, thought about talking the guy down to 3-4 or at least 5 but he looked like he needed the money more than I did. The games were really filthy, like encrusted in grime filthy, but I took them home and sanitized them properly (along with my hands). Also got that MGS2 for 5€ (cheapest I've ever seen for it around here) at a vendor, my buddy got Gran Turismo 2 for 10€ there too. That Dog's Life was 2€ at a pawn shop we went to afterwards.

>>1468951
I don't have a vita at the mo' still nothing making me want one.

I have the digital version of the ps3 one, but will add a boxed one to the collection soon with wipeout 64.

So, when the fuck do outdoor flea markets start appearing in NA? I'm tired of trash indoor ones.

>>1468826
No. There are a few others who have overpaid a bit more.

Just returned from the Trenton Computer Fest, picked these up at the flea market.
37 manuals at 50 cents each, 10 games 75 cents each. The guy only charged me $20 though. They all seem to work, too. Can't wait to play Indy 500.

Is a price of up to 6€ reasonable for a Dreamcast game with at least the original case? I'm trying to replace all of my burned games with originals but I don't really know about prices.
Have only got a few original games with cases/manuals, such as Shenmue (with the box included), DD Quack Attack, Virtua Athlete and MDK 2.

>>1461617
Papa Johns is the worst fucking pizza ever

It is literally inedible

>>1466587
Every mexican who had a PS1 always moded it. No exceptions.

What baffles me is the fact it's the real deal, and not a bootleg.

>>1471176

>It is literally inedible

I ate it though.

>>1471040
>TCF
Do you by any chance go to TCNJ? I didn't expect anyone from the area to go on /vr/. Also, I missed out on going since it's my spring break right now and I'm home, were there any other games there? I'll need to check it out next year...

>>1471156
Bumping for this. Know jack shit about regular DC game prices, would appreciate if someone could clarify.

>>1471208
No, CCM. I live in Long Valley. Those were the only games there. The flea market was a fraction of the size of last year's, and that one was smaller than the year before. If you want to come next year, check the schedule first and see if anything interests you.

>>1471329
That's a shame about the flea markets. I'm studying electrical engineering at TCNJ so I knew all about it. I actually thought it was supposed to be last weekend and I was busy, so I'm kind of pissed that I missed it.
On a different note, do you know of any retro stores that are worth checking out in the area?

>>1471362
None. The only ones I know of are Digital Press in Clifton and some cash for gold store in Hackettstown that sells retro games in the basement. The latter is a bit weird but the prices are great. Digital Press is just retro games so the prices aren't so good but they have a good selection.

Added some PAL GB/GBC/GBA games to my collection. Also a clear Game Boy, and a perfect boxed Gauntlet II.

>>1471416
>some cash for gold store in Hackettstown

You wouldn't happen to be Craig, would you?

>>1471156
>a Dreamcast game
Yeah, sure. A beat up case with a chuchu GD and no manual must be worth at least that much.
It's a little known fact that some games are worth more (or less) than others.

Nothing much as im trying not to spend.

But this was only £2 from Cash Converters

>>1471534
>PAL GB/GBC/GBA games
No such thing. European portable games are just as good as American/Japanese. They all run at 60Hz.

>>1471937
Thanks for the input bro. I'm mirin some MSR games with complete case and manuals for 5€, and there's a man selling his system + 2 controllers + cables + 50 games (discs only) for 50€ - it's not ideal because there are no cases, but at least I get a shit ton of DC discs for 1€ each and a free Dreamcast and controllers.
