super gng too epic yo.

Congratulations you paid money for the worst possible version of Final Fight.

>>1859565
>Congratulations you paid money for the worst possible version of Final Fight.

That's false. Final Fight was ported to damn near everything, and you can do a whole lot worse than SNES.

>>1859525
All dust sleeve, manuals, registration cards, box inserts accounted for, Maps as well.

>>1859565
>Boohoo I spent a whopping $10 on CIB Final Fight.

>>1859569
pfft, dude, that is my favorite version of FF1.
except the arcade, playing FFG is a small difference. the sega CD version has nice music though and an amazing voiced intro.

nothing beats freddie mercury beating up gangsters.

>got ebay purchase today
>fuck yeah, robocop vs terminator
>open it up
>game gear version, not genesis
>picture and description clearly listed genesis

Oh boy, here we go

>>1859667
fucking retard sellers.

>>1859667
Ughh I feel that.

I ordered R Type 3 on Amazon and got a bootleg. I know I'll get my money back but now I have to convince the seller, then if that doesnt work go through amazon remediation. Pain in the ass really.

I'm convinved that Dark Souls was released to be the spiritual successor to Ghouls n' Ghosts. The only problem is that it was way easier than it's predecessors.

>>1859451
Always liked the US FFIII cover.

>>1859569
At least go with the Super Famicom version which has Poison and Roxy.

Pretty decent haul today. All of them are in excellent condition, except for Super Metroid, which has a name written on the back and the disk is shaking. It still boots up instantly though.

>>1859851
>40 bucks for super metroid

>>1859860
That's not a bad price, it could go anywhere from $30 - $60 loose.

>>1859865
really? I have UK version rotting in a draw.

>>1859868
I wish this copy wasn't $40, considering the condition, but the shop was having a buy 2 get 1 free sale. So what the hell.

is that supposed to be don frye on final fight cover?

>>1859872
>shop

The only game store in my area that sells this stuff got replaced with another one, but their selection and prices were shit anyways. I haven't been to the one that replaced them yet though. I hate buying online for this type of stuff.

>>1859865
>it could go anywhere from $30 - $60 loose


fuck, I had to check e-bay because I didn't even believe you.. it was fucking half that price a year ago. goddamn jews

>>1859950
dude I got one last year for 20 dollars with a torn end label and I felt like I was ripped off.

technically not /vr/, but went to local game store (real cool place, been in business since the 80's when it started as a video rental place) to pick up a N64 controller and ended up getting a bunch of PS2 games,

got-
THPS 3,4 THUG 1 &2, and THAW
Vice City, San Andreas
Shadow of Colossus
Jak 1, 2, & 3
Mercenaries
Bully
Simpsons: Hit & Run
MGS 2, and MGS 3 Subsistence
Aggressive Inline

all for $93

I didn't realize how dirt cheap PS2 games are currently, now is the time to collect PS2 games. I love being a generation (or 2) behind on consoles.

No sweet pulls?

Freddy Mercury looks badass on that Final Fight cover...

Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Donkey Kong Country 2, Breath of Fire, Megaman X and a Super Gameboy for $106.

Shipping was $98

>>1860371
>Freddy

You had one job, anon

You have shamed Queen

Most recent things I picked up were MGS VR Missions and Medievil 1.

>>1859972
My brother found an unboxed copy for $5 at a local thrift shop last summer and it was in surprisingly good condition.

>>1860049
> technically not /vr/
Why even post then?
Get...out.

this bunch for 23 total

>>1860379
>Shipping was $98

Where the hell do you live?

>>1860458
That is the worst thing about this place besides the generals. People who always says "I know it is not retro", then posts it anyway

>>1860475
He must be living in Greenland

>>1859865
I thought $20 was crazy expensive for Super Metroid during the Gamestop days.

>>1860475
Australia.
Believe it or not, even after being forced to buy through ebay and pay out the nose for shipping, importing from the US is still somehow cheaper than buying locally.

For reference; I bought an NTSC N64 console + controller + cables, a 240-110 volt transformer and imported it all for less than what it'd cost to buy a N64 alone over here.

>>1859851
I have more to add to this haul. I just got Metroid 2 and Code Veronica for the Dreamcast. It's been a good day

>>1859596
Honestly jelly as fuck. Easily the best game in your pic.

Phone's dead so no pics, but I found tie fighter and xwing cd collection for $4 each.

On a side note I found a Sony amplifier completing my stereo system that I've been building from bits I found around goodwills for the past year. The entire system cost me maybe $40, when I'm sure years ago it would have been over $200.

>CiB. Discs are in great condition (according to the listing, hard to see in the pic. but they looked fine) manual is in perfect condition, no damage.

The worst I see is the sticker on the front, easy to remove though. Got it for 40, couldn't find it cheaper anywhere. Good deal?


Not retro but I also got Gradius V on the PS2 (Completing my Gradius collection on consoles) and some game called Lunar Knights on the ds. Reminded me of boktai so whatever haha.

You ever walk into a thrift store not expecting anything and suddenly there are 14 Ataris on the shelf?
I just did.

>>1862269
How many did you buy?

>>1862269
the hardest part of something like that would be the fact that if I bought some of them I'd have to turn them around or spend more money to set them up

>>1862269
You should grab the model marked "Video Arcade" instead of "Atari," it's a Sears "Heavy Sizer" model, as far as 2600 type systems go it's one of the only ones worth anything. They regularly sell for $50-$75, and it's just a cool piece regardless.

Even after it rained this morning, I was able to score all this today at a flea market. Paid $25 for the N64 bundle which has 3 consoles, 2 controllers, and a whole bag of games including Star Fox, OoT, 2 copies of RE2, SM64, etc.

Non-/vr/ pickup was a CIB PSP for $40. I've been looking for one for a while and it was in good shape so I had to get it.

>>1862360
woops forgot the picture

>>1862339
How much is a Darth worth?

Las week and this week combined. Just started a small retro collection. Carts only and a Trinitron from a pawn shop because I'm cheap as fuck. Next stop, Ikea for a cheap Expedit or whatever are named the new ones.

By the way, Super Famicom controller cords are short as hell. PAL SNES controllers have like twice as long cords.

So, modded console with SuperCIC on request, nice Trinitron TV with Scart RGB, 5 games, extra controler and cables for 135€ more or less.

>>1862624
Not much really. I couldn't get rid of my extra for 20 bucks. The only ones worth anything are the Heavies.

>>1859451
wahoo
sold a couple of my complete SNES games to fund them, I can't find great stuff like this in the wild.

>>1859792
i don't the FF6 cover is much nicer with that amano artwork.

What's the point of spamming long plays in a thread about buying things?

>>1865603
i found a copy of that, disc only for 1 dollar a few weekends ago.

>look everyone I buy thing

>>1859451
We will see after tomorrow. I DID get 40 UMDs today for $20. (most of them are movies... why do I live.)

>>1865660
>look everyone I post thing

Hit up my favorite Saturday flea market.

Everything was $70. Highlights were $5 Ristar, all 3 of those XB games (CiB) for $10 and Suikoden 3 for $5.

Also, Genny 3 was $10 with AC adapter (I already have an Model 1 and 2).

Not all /vr/, but meh.

Anyone use this weird PSX cheat thing before?

>>1866564
If it's anything like the gameshark of the time, you'll need a companion cd that it was sold with.

>>1859451
Holy fuck GnG's box art is terrible.

>>1866662
>you'll need a companion cd that it was sold with.

Google tells me there's no cd needed.

It even seems to indicate that it can be used to play backups/imports, but I already have a chipped PSOne for that.

Also, it turns out that my big PSX has the smallest serial port, so that sort of sucks.

Congrats being an idiot giving money to scumbag resellers.

>>1866771
I don't know where OP got those games from, but some people don't have any choice but to buy from eBay.

All for 80 bucks, including shipping.
I should probably go buy a modchip now.

>>1867537
These plus some laser discs for $50
awesome price considering i am Australian

>>1867589
Nice haul, but you have my condolences for your unfortunate living situation.

>>1867606
It's not so bad apart from the crazy video game prices

>>1865630
Did you like it? I expected my copy to be more expensive because it is a Lucas Arts game

Finally got the piece I needed to fix my PS1 in the mail, though I haven't busted it out yet and put it in. Thinking of doing an "OH MY A PACKAGE" thread on /v/ tomorrow.

>>1866673
If memory serves you need a spring (or even just a matchstick if you play with the lid open) for the lid switch. You load up a valid disc, the ps reads it, then you can swap in your import/copy disc.

>>1861435
