/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1583936
smells faintly of cigrettes lol

>>1583939

>>1583939
are those the actual earphones it included? looks like some generic set from a cheap flight

>>1584041
Yes those are the original ones you can see them in the back of the box

>>1583939
Dem earbuds! Totally hurt after a couple hours. :)

Got this from Gorilla Games for cheap because of lines in the screen, fixed it up and now its in great condition

thirty-eight dollars at a yard sale

Picked this up for 10 bucks CIB. Has the manual and everything, though it has that musty, possibly moldy smell of old paperbacks. I didn't know this one existed until fairly recently, though I own a large amount of SSI's PC output.

>>1583936
Won this on ebay. Pic is from the auction.

>>1583936
gottdamn that gameboy box was so based
great marketing
don draper would be proud

I didn't expected to find it at a decent price in my country, so I just bought it. Always liked this and emulation sucks.

>>1584813
My man! What a game! Especially the ship to ship battles

>>1584852

Awww shit son.

What was your winning bid?

Picked this up for about thirty dollars. It was marked down for apparently having some writing on the label.

...I'll be honest, I can't see any writing at all.

Can't wipe the smile off my face

>>1588928
>>1588939

Fuck both of you. Both of you.

Fuck.

Punisher just keeps going up in price and I have yet to find a decent copy of Panzer Dragoon II.

>>1590472
Punisher's not even really rare. It's ballooning in price because of one bidding war over the tattoo in the CIB. :-p

I don't have a picture, but I got a loose NES copy of Pinball for $10. A really nice deal considering it was adaptored.

>>1590509
>>1590472
Only the PAL release of Punisher is crazy expensive. The USA one is not that rare.

>>1588928
>>1590472

Wait, what? Is it even a good game? Is it even rare?

What's happening?

Grabbed this off Craigslist for $30. Original post was for the 64 and controllers and the guy threw in the games when we met up.

>>1590581
Awesome deal, isn't that just the best when that happens?

Today's pick-ups. Nothing incredible, but I have wanted Virtua Racing for a while and the price was right at five bucks.

>>1584852
>100 Copies of the Gideon Bible box under that monitor

>>1591538
Namco Museum is so good.

cant be bothered to take a pic but i got two Playstation original models (fully working) with av leads (no power but the generic power cables mean this isn't a problem, i used the ps2 lead after taking it out the power brick perhaps i should see if im giving too little or much power by using this continually and maybe invest in proper cables) a light gun, 2 original non-sticked controllers, 4 dualshock controllers about 6 games (including rugrats search for reptar, mickey mania, medal of honor and aliens) for just £10 at a boot sale

its a much better deal than the lady who offered me a playstation with bird poop on it with none of the cables for £5 or £10 (i cant remember which), i wasnt suckered into that offer so much

i also got some weird cable that cant find a use for on the console but as i also got an s video cable so i guess its random

i still have ps1 titles that i played on my ps2 since my sis threw out her PSone which broke
i prefer the look of the PSone a little but i tihkb it's just because im more used to it, is there any positive the having the revised model outside of appearance and smaller size?

im thinking about getting a link cable to do LAN on playstation if i buy another copy of doom

>>1591745
I like playing my PlayStation games on the original hardware because you don't get the awesome Sony Computer Entertainment logo in the game boot up if you play PS1 games on a PS2.

Got all of these this week.

>>1591779
yeah that boot up has serious sentimental value for something so short and simple, are there any great titles that would justify me buying a console link for cross system play? i already have one copy of doom so i might get another and a cable even though doom is obviously better on pc

>tfw recent retro purchases won't be here for a week.

Beyond the Beyond
Breath of Fire 3
Legend of Dragoon
Rhapsody
Space Jam
and Vagrant Story

Here's a good deal of the retro portion of muh collection though. I don't have a lot of hipster shit but I'm still satisfied with what little I do have I suppose.

(1/2)

(2/2)

>tfw my phantasy star 2, 4 and shining in the darkness were stolen along with a good portion of the other stuff I already posted.

Mario 64, Bomberman 64, Mario Tennis, and Ogre Battle 64 (thanks to /vr/ or I wouldn't have known the price) for $2.75 at a garage sale today.

Did I do good?

>>1592137
fug u

>tfw there's no site where social deviants can alert each other where a garage sale is going down and if there were it would be ruined by trolls making shit up instantly

>>1592161
It's my first real find. I'm pretty excited.

>>1592180

Well I have Eye of Judgment cards. T-those are pretty cool too, right!?

>>1592190
I've actually never played Ogre Battle 64. I figured I'd go ahead and trade it for a copy of Smash Bros.

>>1592023
If you paid $35.99 for Fighter's Megamix, you overpaid. Then again it is the GOAT of Sega fighters.

>>1583939
is the display broken?

Overtraded a bit for this lot, but they're all in immaculate condition, so I'm not too bummed about it; and it was all extras I had anyway.

>>1592424
No. It's a reflection of his camera taking the pic. See >>1583946
You can see his finger in the reflection

>>1592456

>shining the holy ark and magic knight rayearth

MUH DICK

How hard did you have to bend over to get those?

Einhander's pretty swell too, I don't know shit about the other one though.

>>1592023
How's Crystalis on the GB?

Also >>1592309 is right, at my shop we just got a copy of Fighter's Megamix a week or two ago and have it marked at 24.99 so. TEN DOLLARS MAN, you could have put that to good use on some other frivolous purchase

>>1590581
wow that's a nice deal

>>1592496

Crystalis on the GBC is slightly easier than the NES version. Fighters Megamix was an impulse buy as soon as i saw it because I loved playing this game when I was in high school.

>>1592496
My extra copies of Earthbound and the DKC trilogy, and a stack of low cost NES games that go up to my waist for >>1592456

Seriously, I've found 3 copies of Earthbound in my garage sale adventures, I don't know how anyone can say it's rare.

>>1592519
Yeah no harm no foul really, you probably wouldn't have found it at a local shop, on ebay there's shipping typically and the risk that it'll be lost in the mail or crushed due to ignorant shipping practices on account of the seller. An ebay user sold me an immaculate copy of shining force 2 but sent it and the flimsy cardboard box it came in lovingly packed inside a manila envelope. Needless to say the thing looked like shit by the time it got here. It's probably worth the 10 bucks or so just to know what you're getting.

>>1592569
Shit nigga, it sounds like you got a solid deal actually, MKR is going for like 300 on ebay right now alone. I think Shining is like 30-40 but I could be wrong.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=magic+knight+rayearth+sega+saturn&_frs=1

>>1592587
That's really inflated. They're usually in the 150-170 range. They're listed that high right now because they're the only copies on eBay at the moment.

http://videogames.pricecharting.com/game/sega-saturn/magic-knight-rayearth#completed-auctions-cib

>>1592592
Oh, and one of those copies on eBay is sealed, so it's kind of justified. Fortunately most people don't find that much value in cellophane.

>>1592592
Damn dude you really know your stuff.

>>1592594
Yeah that seems kind of silly. As long as it's "near mint"/complete I'm good for the most part. Unfortunately that kind of stipulation does make it very difficult to find and collect those games that came in cardboard boxes like those for the gba, gb, and genesis.

>>1592606
*not to mention the snes and n64.

fug

>>1592606
>>1592610
I don't find that collecting boxes for pre-GameCube Nintendo games very imperative; the price differential for complete Nintendo games for their loose cartridges is way too large for my taste, and with the limited amount of space I have, the ones do I have are just sitting on a shelf in my closet. Not having the case and manual for disc based games is inexcusable, though.

Got some Japanese gameboy color games finally

>>1584786

>SMRPG
>Sega Saturn
>SNES
>all those games
>38 bucks

>>1583936

>>1592765

>it's still in the plastic wrap

>>1592827
What do you think it smells like?

I hope this one lasts longer than my last one

>>1590553

As far as Sega Genesis games go, it's pretty expensive. Usually goes between 50 to 120 bucks depending on the condition of it.

Is it good? Yeah, it's okay. It's a port of the arcade game. Not the best port, but it's a solid beat 'em up.

>>1592863
It must smell pretty NESty

Now if you'll excuse me I have some Bloody Wolf to play

Not all of this is retro, but this is today's yard sale pickup. Got everything on the left for $8, Terminator for Game Gear for $1, and all the Atari games for $13. MP8, PGA07, and Episode III are case only. Oracle of Seasons was a nice pickup though. I don't know anything about Atari games so I might have overpaid for that lot, but I'm ok with what I got today.

About to go pick up these and a complete Saturn for 25 bucks

No retro games but I got Star Wars Rogue Leader, Rebel Strike, and Clone Wars at a flea market today. Also got Viewtiful Joe and Animal Crossing. All together it was about $50. How did I do?

Gauntlet Legends N64 CIB for 99 cents at Savers (with the board games, lol)

Nintendo 64 RF Modulator CIB for 2.99 at a different Savers


Someone in my area is donating boxed N64 stuff to thrift shops. I really fucking wish I knew who it was.

Rescue shot and ghoul panic, this morning in a flea market, both for 5 euros

>>1595440
HOLY SHIT IS THAT SOME MULHOLLAND DRIVE?

>>1595448
yes , it cost me 0.5 cents , both MULHOLLAND DRIVE and blood and wine (with jack nicholson)

By the way ghoul panic is very fun, nice OST

>>1592827
yes it is got the box too

>>1595454

>>1592137
Picked up A CIB NES, SNES, N64, and Dreamcast for $2.74 today.

Did I do good?

>>1595475
what?

>>1595475
Did you drop $2.74 while stealing them?

>>1595456
>>1595454

>>1595475
Ripped off none of those consoles are worth more than 5 cents

>>1595454
>>1595456

Good lord.

Excuse the shitty pic but my phone's camera sucks.

Anyway, I bought this PAL SMS recently for $60 pre-modded to play Mark III games. Also has a Hz switch. Sure is a lot better than the SMS II I grew up with (and still have).

>>1592978

Lube the stick.

>>1595569
Actually seller said that its already lube'd, I could have done it myself but it was still cheap(around 10€) and my old controller is in rather bad shape so I bought it and deferentially feels better than stock one.

I know about Life Force, but what the hell is this version?

>>1595626
haha oh no i never opened it
top gun was inside
oh well, good enough

>>1595626
Its rental version

>this thread

>>1595557
>>1595509
you can find them in ebay for better condition for around 150 bucks I think lol

Made some extra cashola and grabbed this and Final Fantasy II (IV) before the prices went up more. My SNES is very happy.

>>1596710
Oh shit forgot pic

Don't feel like going to the trouble of taking a picture of it, but I got Fester's Quest at a thrift store type place a while ago for like $5, which is probably pretty high, but it's not like I'm bragging anyway.
I haven't bought anything retro in a while.

>>1595834

What's your problem with it?

>>1592762
One of my friends recently went into a flea market and got the following box for $10...
>Saturn with controller and cables
>Genesis with controller
>Nintendo 64
>Gamecube with controller and cables
>MK Double Dash was sitting in the Cube
That stupid Nintenyearold has yet to buy a single Saturn game. I shilled out $80 for mine.
(I have an unreasonable Saturn obsession)

>>1593072
>Dragon Force
>X4
SHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

>>1595834
>Being poor

>>1597048
>Nintenyearold

Please don't say this ever again here, or else there will be consequences.

>>1597052
Sega > Nintendo

This is bullshit. All the yard sales here are just viejas selling their ugly clothings.
I thought living in Los Angeles would help me find cool stuff, but it seems not.

>>1597083
You need to go to the suburbs like the AV, got an SNES and 30 games for 15 bucks.

>>1597117
What do you mean by AV?
Like COmpton?

I picked these up today, the soul star is still sealed too :D

>>1597245

Noice.

>>1597060
This.

>>1597043
He can't find these deals on eBay and can't leave the house due to his crippling autism. He's just jealous.

Some stuff from Play Expo this year, some is not technically /vr/

1/6
Some Atari games, I seem to have a thing for buying them and for the most part going in blind

>>1601080
2/6
Missed one off the photo

>>1601082
3/6
Only retro if I blur out the 3D part of it,

Upon packing up Play Expo Blackpool we found out a seller left behind a few Standees among the chaff (Aliens CM, Tekken DR, Infamous SS) was these.
2 Zelda ones (not put togher properly)

>>1601086
4/6
Back, got the broken part of the sword, the other one of these is going to a charity raffle at Play Expo Manchester along with some other stuff I have

>>1601091
5/6
Both sides the same, this one will be as well

>>1601092
6/6
Posters, got four of these (2 in picture and two others), same applies, I am getting quite a collection of these standees and got one for the Sonic racing transformed at a friends

I got an N64 w/ Expansion Pak, 2 controllers, and Majora's Mask for $45. Did I do good?

>>1601183
definitely. that'd net you the game alone.

Getting the game wasn't the hard part. The hard part was finding a Mega CD, then getting its fucking fuse fixed.

Looks amazing in RGB Scart.

I live in Barrie Ontario, any tips for me? How do I start doing what you guys are doing? Should I have weekend runs down to Toronto for garage sales?

>>1588869
It was 250 buy it now or best offer.Offered 200 and he accepted. Though I have won some pretty intense bidding shootouts for other arcade boards.

>>1599723
Yeah, we all know he's full of shit. But you don't have to be passive aggressive about it.

>>1597245
There was a Math Blaster for Genesis?

Here's all the vidya stuff I picked up today at the Swap Meet. Better than most days.

Green Gameboy Pocket for 10$
Teal GBC for 10$
Blue Gameboy Pocket for 5$
Kirby GBA game for 4$
Gamecube for 5$
Nintendo DS Lite for 5$ (it's beyond wrecked though, missing shoulder buttons and won't turn on, it gives signs of wanting to charge though)
And the two still in box PC games for 1$ each. Not too bad eh?

My most recent, though the price was absurd, I'm still happy with it.

>>1604830
I'm jelly of your GBP finds.

>>1592756
Mario Tennis on GBC was so good. How much was it?

>>1590581
Holy shit, that's nice. Those controllers look squeaky clean. I have one of these in purple and the remotes and the console had to be cleaned out.

>>1604837
I hate you anon. I hate you.

>>1604850
Why, anon? Why?

>>1604837
How much, may I ask?

>>1604908
Too much, anon.
I also have an extra cartridge of the game as well, and that was also an absurd price. The standard BS eBay prices. If I ever sell my extra copy I'm doing so at a reasonable price.

>>1604841
$10 dollaridoos

>>1592130
snatcher hnnnng

>>1595569
...and don't play Mario Party.

>>1592756
That's a beautiful mario golf box.

>>1592762
Is SMRPG worth much? I've considered selling my copy (technically more my brother's but he left it to me along with many other games) but I worry about 1) my bro wanting to grab it sometime and 2) that the prices for new ones could go up instead of down in the future.

Might and Magic 3, CIB and in great condition, for 25. I feel like I overpaid, but the condition is really something. Aside from some box damage, everything inside is pristine, down to the sealed envelope of coupons for 20-year old computer parts.

>>1604930

speaking about Ebay, why the fuck is Mother 1+2 so expensive? It never goes below $90.
Look at this shit
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-GameBoy-Advance-MOTHER-1-2-from-Japan-NEW-/151297110061

>>1605370
God damn that's a steal!

>>1605529
I have no idea, anon. I feel your pain. That and a CIB Mother for Famicom would complete my EB/Mother collection in terms of having all the games on each console.

Metal Gear Solid for GBC suffers from this too. eBay is the worse for this sort of stuff. At least I found a Greatest Hits copy of Silent Hill 2 for $13. I copped it just for Maria's extra story since it's not in the original black label copy I own, and the PC version is very hit & miss.

>>1605529
Hold up, that price is beyond retarded. This is the absolute worse I've seen for M1+2.

Those 4 games + SNES in very good condition + two controllers....for approximately $52 US dollars

Living in the third world had to have some perks

This lot for $15

This one for $11

And finally, this one for $38

>>1606368
RE2 with the N64 alone are worth that to me.

I got a model 2 Genesis with all the cords, a 3-button controller, Sonic 1, Shining Force, and Phantasy Star IV for $40. Did I do good?

>>1606402
That's great. Even better if the games came in boxes.

Does anyone here know where I can get an Everdrive on the cheap? I'm thinking I'll just buy one and be done with it.

They were a buck each.

>>1606525
I never knew they made some many rumble pack gameboy games

>>1606525
I misread that as "Tonka Racewar." Best laugh I've had all week.

As part of the group buy, some of the EDs ordered have arrived

>>1606925
He's Batman. Oh ye of stunted memory, dost thou not recall the Flashcart Group Buy thread that kept getting deleted? This is the fruit of the venture. Scads of flash cart boards are arriving, waiting for distribution to the buyers. Even with the international shipping, the bulk discount makes them cheaper than ordering singly and directly.

This, or if you really feel the need to be a Mario Party Palm masochist, you can use an already kinda fucked up controller as your designated "Mario Party" controller

Can a Toronto or Ontariofag please go to this thing and tell me what is was like?
Link in e-mail field.

20 Mega Everdrives have arrived

Only expecting some Supers and SD2SNES ones

>>1611182
At least they're linking to another classified site.

In my area, some fuckers are starting to post ads that just link to ebay auctions and even shitty third-party auction sites. Pic sadly related.

>>1611189
falling for reseller bait

A US SMS with both controllers, power supply, two games and rf switch.

>>1612971
What did that run you?

>>1611262
Mh, I love group buys!!
I really wonder how much money krikzz made, when the EDGB came out.
We alone had a group buy of around 10000USD.
krikzz ftw!!

>>1613328
He has to make some profit on each board, even with the discount.
Was doing a GB one, but I have little interest in the GB.
Still need a few more orders for the basic Mega Drive and Master system ones to get them to ten

>>1613381
That shouldn't be a problem. If you make a big order, just talk to krikzz and I'm sure you will also get the discount, even if you don't reach 10 orders with some Everdrives.

I really hope krikzz makes good cash with his Everdrives. It's just amazing what he did to the retro community!

>>1613384
Im pushing for the ten, some are close

I got this yesterday for $1 along with some non-/vr/ Pokemon Wii games. Sadly I don't know much about it. I know it was made around 1980-81 and it's based on the Galaxian arcade game

Was this a good deal?

>>1604930
If I were in a situation where I sold an Earthbound cart I'd sell it for around $90 or so.

Fuck everyone who says this game is rare.

How about uploading the picture instead of the thumbnail.

>>1617513
Sadly, that is the picture, on the original Craigslist ad the pic is blown up and blurry as all hell.
Anyway, shitty pic aside, think you can give any input on my original question?

>>1617573
Yeah, that's a pretty good price, they're usually quite over 100 bucks

Picked up a Turbografx 16 and a stack of games in the last month. Next will be a CD add on.

Super Everdrives, just waiting for some SD2SNES ones

$8 at Salvation Army. Was dropping off some bags of old clothes when some guys pulled up to drop some things off which included this. I asked the worker how long it takes to go up for sale and he took it inside, priced it, and handed it to me.

Console is pretty yellowed and I'm completely new to this, decent find?

>>1619606

$8.00?

Hell yeah, it's a decent find.

>>1619606
Damn good find for 8 dollars.

12 bucks on ebay for all 3 in near mint to very good condition. I'm a sucker for the long case playstation games. plus I LOVE cyber sled. it's a fun arcade mech-sled battle type dealie. very cyberpunk and the music is fucking god tier. it's like obnoxiously easier though. lost my original copy of the game I had when it first came out, but I think there's a difficulty switch somewhere in the menus, but I can't recall.

1/2

>>1619803
then got this guy basically mint (from what I can tell anyway) for 15 on a /vr/ share thread not too long ago. I have megaman legends 1 and 2 and they're some of my favorite games of all time (I've had them since launch so I had NO idea they were decently rare now, no manuals or jewel cases anymore though sadly), but the N64 port is fucking atrocious. the audio is absolutely butchered and I honestly cannot get over it. marginally better graphics are no trade off for audio that sounds like it's being played from someone's ass hole. thinking about selling it but not sure if it's really worth the effort yet.

also, is jupiter strike as bad as everyone claims it is? from gameplay vids it looks decent at the very least. I'm still waiting on that stuff to get here, that's the auction pic.

What's with your copy of namco museum mine is different

I tried to make pic as artsy as possible

>>1619803
cyber sled looks interesting, thanks for sharing

>>1619983
That's the greatest hits edition. Only volumes 1 and 3 got greatest hits releases, so the covers that spell out Namco would've made no sense.

>>1603394
shit man, that sucks. someone in my area had a near mint final fight cab and wanted 150 for it because he needed to get rid of it due to a move.

i couldn't take it because no fucking room.

Got these from a recently opened local retro game shop
fuck, the model 1's dpad is awful

>>1620008
;_;
that's heart breaking friend

>>1620018
grab a 3D controller when you can, pal.
makes a nice difference.
also stumbled upon this a month or two back, wanted to strangle someone.

>>1620008
You MAKE room. Even if the damn thing has to stand in your living room.

>>1604837
It has the box, so not bad. If it was just the cartridge I'd shame you. I got my copy for 50 bucks.

>>1620008
That's one of the weird ironies of arcade boards. Sometimes the board alone sells for more than the entire cab due to the amount of space a cab takes up. Either way I'm happy with it as the board was original and in great shape. You totally should have taken that cab for 150!

>>1584786
Damn, bro. Nice find

>>1619997
It totally is. I highly suggest everyone check that game out if you haven't. It's a little obscure I believe? There's an arcade machine for it as well though that was also very fun, pic related. PS port translated over pretty well.

Also forgot to mention I got a fucking PRISTINE copy of Metal Gear Solid for ten bucks. Not much of a rare find at all but I was just really excited to get such a beautiful copy for so cheap. My only issue is that the manual (also looks amazing) smells a bit like cigarettes. >_> Some people say that gives it character but I don't like those smells. No biggie though.

>>1620087

hey man, i'd KILL for that cab. i LOVE final fight, but i just don't have room in an apartment that is smaller than my old room at my house.

i;d probably have to fit it in the bathroom or some shit and i do enjoy shitting in a closet.

You're kidding right?

> Stop that Roach!

I know it's not quite the point of the thread, but would it be possible to get a price check?

Model 2 Genesis, Model 2 Sega CD and 32X;
Popped up on my local craigslist and he's asking $80 for the set. I don't know shit about genesis prices, let alone what a CD or 32X would go for. Also had a Model 1 w/ Model 2 CD for $60 listed.

CD and 32X are really what I'm interested in.

>>1623008
>bare knuckle 3 multicart

I want that.

>>1623181
80$ for all of those is a very good price if they come with all cables and adapters.

Guys what is a good price for Kirby's dream land for gb? Without the box, just game and plastic case...

This will sound stupid...
But I recently moved to Manchester and I would like to know if there's a place with junk like gbc games for reasonable price...

Because I couldn't find a place like this anywhere... I managed to find a shop with PS1 and gb games but it was really overpriced.

>>1622968
Is that original Japanese pubic hair?

>>1623240
Manchester UK?
Theres a shop in Gotron Market
One in Ashton (rewind collectables)

>>1623451
Yes, Manchester UK.
Are you sure it's Gotron Market?
Couldn't find it on google.

>>1623451
But I found Gorton Market in Greater Manchester... Is that it?

>>1623451
Managed to found the rewind collectables, but there's nothing interesting on their website.

I'll try the gorton market.

Slim pickings at the pawnshops, this was one of those "They're cheap, so I'll buy them to fill up the shelf " purchases.

This came in the mail about 15 minutes ago. I have zero regrets about how much I paid.

>>1622968
I'm very, very curious about that kanji Nintendo above the unusually small Nintendo logo. I've never seen that before, and it IS an older model FC since there's no FF logo on the front. Is it a first-run square button or a transition model? Would you be against opening it to check the board revision?

>>1623465
Yes, he has a small collection of stuff, he might have more you just got to ask

TO is a piece of shit for garage sales. Nearly every one I get to has been hit before it even opens by resellers.

It's almost fucking impossible to find ANYTHING here. Unless you want to pay ridiculous premiums from stores.

>>1606525
Fucking love me some missle command. I picked up one of these at a store for $3 and it had japanese batteries in it. Worked great right on the spot.

Just picked up a bundle of GB carts from eBay for cheap. Mainly for the Star Trek cart (which is near mint), but dayum these wario games are mangy.

>>1623195
The CD/32X combo already sold.

How about a model 1 and model 2 CD?

>>1623495
Could be for the Chinese markets. Notice the sticker next to the auxiliary port has no kana.

>>1624478
Thought it might have been.

>>1620097
I actually have an extra cartridge now, on top of two copies of Mother 2. Those you can get for cheap easily though.

No picture right now but I just got Shadowrun for the Genesis with the full case manual and even poster for $15 at my job and I got Megaman X3 for $140 off some guy on Craigslist.
Pretty happy with what I got, never played Shadowrun though so I'm hoping it's good.

>Not paying top dollar for finely aged vidya

I would rather pay more for retro games than full price for a new one. Just because they are charging $60 a game is "good for the company" its still too much for something that may or may not be crap.

With retro you KNOW if something is good.

>>1624871
>not googling the filename
>not learning it's a pretty big homebrew release for the Famicom sold at Comiket 85
You're one of those pedantic assholes who thinks GBC games made in 2002 aren't retro either, aren't you? Platform denotes whether a game's retro or not, not year of release.

>>1624879
There was shovelware in the retro age to you wrong generation dumbass

>>1624880
>paying for a homebrew
People seriously do this?

>>1624916
>not supporting a hobby programmer
>not keeping the NES alive

No joke, the NES has better attach rates for homebrew games than the Wii U does for third party games. Kojima even said in an interview that he'd rather make MGS5 for the MSX than the Wii U, simply because the MSX audience would actually buy the game.

>>1624916

Well, got some work to do.

This was brought by the mail deliver guy an hour ago

>The Cheapest US copy is 100 USD on Ebay

>>1625959
I placed an order with him for a Wonderswan a few weeks ago, he's a good seller. I like how he shrinkwraps everything, they really go the extra mile over in Japan for their customers.

Infucking possible. Goodwill now puts all their shit in their god damn bidding site.

>>1612971
Got all that complete in box for $15 just two weeks ago

>>1626042
Worst part is, they charge you for the shipping to their fucking warehouse, and again to ship it to you. Fuck them, I am never going to Goodwill ever again.

Not every Goodwill. The ones in Arkansas and Kentucky don't, at least.

This thread gets me so depressed. How do you guys find such good deals? Any tips? It seems impossible to gave good finds in my area.

>>1626685
You don't
buy old pc games no one cares about those

>>1626685
1. We're hitting stores and sales every week, if not also midweek. Most of the time we're coming up empty or nothing of special note.
2. You're looking at the collective finds of dozens of people. So it only looks like this lone "Anonymous" guy is finding lots of stuff.

>>1626685
Accident of birth, basically. My last HOLY SHIT finds were a $10 TG16 at a yardsale of the damned, and Conker + MML "trilogy" at Gamestop for fucking pennies when they were dumping everything to load up on 360 and PS3 shit. Since then, fucking NOTHING in the way of good games, BUT I live in a reseller hell. Bunch of fat welfare whores cruise all of the sales at the crack of dawn, buy everything, and flip it on ebay.

Got Spiderman and X-Men Arcades revenge, Jungle Book & Jurrasic Park for $4 each and found a bootleg copy of Super Mario Bros Advanced 3 for $2.
Works perfect and I really don't mind since I'm not hardcore about GBA collecting.

>>1625959
This is relevant to my interest. How it works? I never used eBay and there are very interesting goods from JYW.

>>1624675
>>1623495
Yes, this is a Taiwanese Famicom.

I guess you live in the US, make an account, linke it to your Paypal account (make one dammit) and find where you can deposit money to your Paypal account.


Also Keep in mind, this were won at Bids, but do not worry, the Sniper Shillbidders usually stay away from japanese bids from legit japanese sellers.

ALSO, do not support that douche dennisjapan since he sold his sould to the VINT@GE REER Scam.

Buy from guys like hit-japan, yamatoku-classic, ichibiri and japanyouwant.

Won some sick auctions on ebay today, so no pix.

Iridion II for GBA - $15 shipped

pretty dece condition NES with zapper, 2 controllers, mario 3, TMNT, smb/duck hunt, double dragon - $58 shipped

zelda 1 & 2 (gold carts) - $45 shipped

metroid with alt yellow art and manual - $22 shipped

no amazing deals or anything rare, but I'm pretty happy about it nonetheless.

>>1627229
Picked up this neat Zelda gameboy bag

>>1629207
How... 90's tish.

Spent 3 hours checking out every single second-hand store in my town. The only things decent things I found were a copy of Onimusha 3 and a copy of The Incredible Hulk for the Megadrive.

Very few stocked games, and even then it was just a few titles not even worth mentioning.

>>1626863
>Hey what's a TG16?
>Oh I have one of those
>Wait, 10$ was a good deal? I thought they were like, 30 at most
>Go to Ebay to check
>All 70+

What the fuck?
I got mine for 20 at some garage sale. That bundle gave me 2 controllers, 3-4 unique games (probably about 10 cards, but there were a few doubles and triples).
Oh, and I got a Sega Genesis with that bundle.

Cool I guess.

>>1632721
They have been rising price wise lately because of youtube fags buying them

Yesterday I found two GBPs.
Silver Gameboy Pocket for 7.50$
Broken Gameboy Pocket (planning on turning it into a small HDD of some kind) for 1$

I also won a boxed Clear White Gameboy Color on Ebay this morning for 35$. I'll take pictures of it when it gets here. Is that color supposed to be rare? The box has some Japanese text but I couldn't really find more information on it.

Got The Neverhood (disc only) for twenty bucks on ebay today.
