/vr/ - Retro Games

>>3568975
You didn't score, OP. The seller did.

>>3568975
One born every minute

>>3568980
Yeah right, have you seen how much hagane goes for

>>3568975
>It's a dumb hipster pays out the ass for old game cartridges episode

>>3568975
>$450

Seller is also getting me EVO tomorrow if I want it

>>3568975
Some Dreamcast games and /vr/ related garage kits I got on yahoo auctions.

>>3569004
Also this lets me complete my pink dreamcast set.

Can't say I care much about games that are super rare at that price. Even if they are statistically worth it, I can't really justify throwing that much at games, especially ones I have no attachment to.

>>3568975
If I saw your collection I wouldnt be impressed I would mug you, is that really what you want, dude?

Buy the bootleg version on Aliexpress

>>3568975
>Just scored these bad boys for 450$ on craigs list. Post your recent pickups/scores

why are you paying so much for reproductions?

Sweet bootlegs. What's Aliexpress charging nowadays?

>>3569024
How do I open the carts?

>>3569028
Nothing beats original games on original hardware, but thanks...

>>3568975
If you bought them on CL, you bought those local right? You weren't enough of an idiot to buy such high-value carts from some random guy without checking the internals, were you?

>>3569024
This

>>3569029
>How do I open the carts?
use a gamebit to unscrew the screws, or use an exacto blade to slowly spin the screws out.

>>3569006
pink dreamcast is very based anon

>>3569018
10$ for fake hagane on aliexpress

>>3569036
Looks like the "screws" are plastic in OP's pic. They might be repro cases with fake screw heads, in which case I doubt the label or insides are real as well.

>>3569036
Screws arent coming out, I guess seeing as how old they are they seize up.

>>3569004
>>3569006
Now these are good pickups.
Especially garage kit.

>>3569035
Not really local, a 2 hr drive. And who asks someone to take apart their shit before buying it lol

>>3569058
People buying things worth hundreds of dollars. If I'm traveling 2 hours to buy a Hagane of questionable quality I'd sure as hell bring a gamebit, and if the guy refuses to let you look than you know its a fake. It's not like it damages the game.

>>3569058

>And who asks someone to take apart their shit before buying it lol

someone that doesn't want to waste their money on worthless reproduction carts?

>>3569065
Firstly they are all in near mint condition, not questionable quality, and secondly they are not reproductions/fakes. Once I got home I tested them and they all work.

OP is a comedian.

>>3568975
>$450
You could've just bought a 4TB HDD and put a shitload of ROMs including ISOs on it.
You're a fucking dumbass.

>>3568997
You mean his is milking you on a repo cart tmrw once he prints it.

congratulations

>>3569073
because if they werent repros they wouldn't work right

are you retarded? lmao

you could have got the j version of hagane for $50 off ebay. literally the exact same game except you won't be able to read the boss names

Try harder at bait.

>>3569073
Yea repos run pretty well.
Ask me how I know.

>I sell repos to schlubs like you all the time.

Not a single person tries to verify it.
More so if I use those fake ass "verified" game tags. Hahaha.

>>3569097
looks like he didn't need to, considering there's already 35 replies.

>>3569050
>I guess seeing as how old they are they seize up.
gee, that's funny because they look near mint. Except the labels are misplaced and peeling on the edges...

You done fucked up bud. They're def fake. Open up the carts and show us a photo of the boards. 99% these are fake.

>>3569073
>Once I got home I tested them and they all work.
What does them working have to do with them being fakes? Actually I'm 100% sure they're repros now. The picture on the label isn't the same as the real ones. 30 seconds on google image search would tell you that. Note that on the real carts you can see a bit of his sword above the ESRB label and you can see a bit more of his chest. Repro carts have the label image cropped differently, like yours does, and also have plastic fake screws like yours.

So either you got taken for a ride or you're taking us for a ride.

hagane is going for $500 right now on ebay with a torn off label and you think you got it for $450 plus mm7 and sunset riders in near mint condition?

ya

Hey /vr/! Lets play Jeopardy!!!!!!!!!!!
Moot: A greedy but effective attempt to get money from a newfag?
anon 1: What is Repro?

but in all seriousness if they work that's fine hope they are something you actually enjoy.

>>3569054
Yeah, they're pretty nice. I got them both for about $10 apiece. They're not my favorite models, but they were cheap and I was looking for something to practice on. Got to start somewhere.

>>3569116
no reason to buy repros when flash carts and j versions exist for way way lower

repros are only for scamming people

>>3569116
>Moot
Who?

>>3569121
I can somewhat understand buying a repro for a never-translated japanese-only RPG, but only if it came with a case and manual. IMO, the only reason to buy a repro would be to look good on a shelf. If you're going to buy loose cart repros, or repros of US releases, you might as well buy a flashcart.

Behold, my very genuine copy of Sunset Riders. Let's compare mine to yours, shall we? Here's how aspects of your copy are different:

1) Nintendo logo in corner is smaller and off-center within the margin.
2) The purple "down" arrow is placed much lower.
3) Game's serial number in the lower left is in different, thicker font, and is centered within the margin.
4) The button graphic on the right is clearly larger.
5) The Sunset Riders picture itself appears simultaneously thinner and taller.
6) The Konami's copyright symbol is larger as well as placed on the topside rather than the bottom.
7) The screws appear to be plastic, and are clearly larger than typical SNES screwheads.

So congratulations on your bootleg purchase, OP.

op tell us u bought from aliexpress and are baiting us

I am sicm of the toxic community on here. Nearly everytime I post something I get trolled, thats fake/reproduction, thats not a prototype, thats not a beat em up thats a belt scroller, emulating is better than collectin, ect... what do I expect thouh, this is 4chan. I am seriously considering leaving here never to post again, this board was way better at the start...

>>3569140
I just have the ROM. No big loss, amirite?
I'd rather, and I do, spend my money on MS-DOS, Windows, Amiga, and other computer games.
Just see it as a waist of thyme collecting copies of console games since they're heavily price gouged.

But if it's a Repro of a ROMHack, then why not? I wouldn't mind spending $20 on a SNES or SFC cart of The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds.

>>3569116

You know you'll be back. See you next week, OP.

Fucking normies.

>>3569153
sry please stay

>>3568990
Well normally a repro like that would go for $40 or so but since all three carts use the same parts he should have got a bulk discount.

>>3569153
then get woke on the retro instead of being a gullible idiot

>>3569153
Don't leave me honey

>>3569073
>secondly they are not reproductions/fakes.

They are. The stickers make it plainly obvious that they're fakes since they don't line up properly. There's excess space to the sides of the stickers and they overlap the bottom part of the sticker area by a bit. Also, the top part of the sticker on your reproduction Hagane is coming off.

You overpaid for reproductions, you're a sucker.

>>3569029
Don't forget the screw under the label.

>>3569260
That's mean, but they're repros anyway so it doesn't matter.

If OP would just open the carts and photograph the boards we can help him determine if they're genuine.

>>3569280
No need, the plastic screws are a dead giveaway.

>>3569280
3D chess move
OP really bought cheapros and is trolling us

So I guess we're done in this thread?

>>3568975
Are you out of your mind? You can buy a console and flashcart for much less!

>>3569280
I cant get the screws undone, some dunce has taken out the screws and put plastic ones in. They dont apear to be turning and I am just rounding the edges on it

>>3569394
Fess up. You aren't even OP, are you?

>>3569050

>>3569449
COME BACK
COME BACK
DONT LEAVE

>>3569447
That's because they're not even screws. The shell is glued together. You don't even need to open it up for us to tell that Hagane and Sunset Riders are fake, and there's no way that mega man's legit. The plastic screws are a dead giveaway it's a 10$ bootleg straight off of Aliexpress.

>>3568975

BAHAHAHAHA idiot. Always carry a gamebit with you, bro. Knowledge is power.

>>3569463
>glued together
Not even. Just a few clips actually.

The pattern on those chewed up screws look exactly the same on the Chrono Trigger I picked up a month or two ago and tore up a bit before realizing they weren't using actual screws. A spudger or even a little flat had slipped in somewhere in the edge connector's slot should have no issue at all popping the two apart.

>>3569463
Fuck, FUCK....

>>3569153
We'd care if you actually contributed something. Pick up threads are nothing but self centered hedonism.

>>3569501
I was hoping for self centered hedonism thread when opened this one, but instead I got this.

i'm so sorry op, maybe try and get a refund? i don't know how that works on CL but whoever sold you it was being disingenuous by trying to pass them off as authentic

Stickers aren't lined up right
Stickers are peeling
Stickers aren't the right size
Plastic bolts meaning they're snap casings
Snap casing texture, color, and I know this last one from experience, density aren't correct

Either you are retarded, or are a troll. I have reproductions of Final Fantasy V, Tactics Ogre, and Fire Emblem 3 and they cost me about $15 each. Even then I paid too much.

>Go over to gf's parents place
"Hey anon, I hear you're big into old videogames"
"Yeah, it's kinda my hobby"
"Oh, well here's this box of old videogames that've been sitting in the kids closet for years"
I already have a Gen 2, but is the Gen 1 considered superior, or is it really just the headphone jack that differentiates the two?

>>3569571
Model 1s for the most part have better quality audio than Model 2s, but there are Model 1s that are essentially just the shitty Model 2s in a Model 1 case.

Mind taking a photo of the back, with the power/AV connections?

OP

Why the fuck would you spend so much money and not do something to check if that shit is real?

What the fuck would be a reason to spend $125 a fucking game without a box or anything other than a cart? That's just stupid collecting.

>>3569575
>That's just stupid collecting.
Collectors are stupid though, that's why they think resellers dictate the prices.

>>3569573
I hope the glare isn't too unworkable. The RF out is different on this Model 1 than my Model 2's.

>>3569571
Ironically, the ones with the best audio are the ones that say "high definition graphics" on the case.

I picked up Pokemon Green and Trip World from aliexpress for $5 each. I wasn't expecting so much quality for the price, but I was clearly mistaken.

>>3569587
>The RF out is different on this Model 1 than my Model 2's.
That's because it has a dedicated RF modulator built into it rather than relying on an external one like the Model 2/3.

That said, it's a good one. Uses the good circuit and discrete IC from the earlier Model 1s instead of the Model 2's.

Don't use RF on it though, at least get some composite cables and run stereo from the headphone port on the front. For best results, don't raise the volume slider above the 6 in order to minimize distortion.

>>3569597
>>3569603
Thanks guys, this was very insightful.
And people say that /vr/ is a board for angry shitposters.

>>3569091
Can you link it senpai?

>>3569601
Does that pokemon green save and is it in english? Also can you give the alieexpress link for it?

>>3569639
The game is in English and it does save. Here is the link, however I bought it when the store was having a sale

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Nintendo-GameBoyColor-Video-Game-Cartridge-Console-Card-Pokemons-Collective-Edition-English-Language-Version/2336305_32717947288.html

If you go to aliexpress, type Hagane the store "Sinder Games" should be the first one listed is the correct link.

>>3569658
This is so close to be perfect but they have (Game) written instead of (Gameboy)

>>3569187
Sweet looking skull there, anon... Where's it from?

>>3569670
Yeah, it's the only blemish I've really noticed. Probably to make sure people don't sell them as legit carts, but who knows. All I care about is that they work and play flawlessly; which evidently they do.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like the robot boss from Contra 3.

Thanks for the link, ill just wait until they have sale prices again. Also, have tou opened pokemon green to check if it has a battery or what it saves on? I am curious to know what its saving on, since it is a bootleg.

>>3568975
LOL
O
L

>>3569826

No problem, hope you get a sale soon. I recently bought a couple more of his gb/gbc games since he let me have them for $5 as well. Also, it's saving on a watch battery. You can see it through the Trip World translucent shell.

so just how easy is it to sell repros to dumbshits on craigslist? Is there any potential legal repercussions for selling bootleg carts? I can't imagine any cop would take "he sold me a fake earthbound on craigslist" seriously, and if you only kept contact using a burner email I don't see how someone could track you down.

>>3568975
I scored one of these for 150€ and i get to play most of the expensive games on a real hardware

>>3568997
I wouldn't have even known this game was going for $200+ on fleabay if I hadn't looked it up thanks to this post.

Sometimes I think its time to just cash out with my collection and do something with the thousands I'd make at these prices.

>Fake plastic screws is a thing
>dumb collectors still manage to get fooled
BWAHAHAHAHA

Pretty sure OP was bait.

Bootlegs have value (some quite a bit actually) but it should never be more than 5-10 bucks for assembly line repros like those.

You're doing it wrong kiddo. And by doing it wrong I mean pretending you aren't a minimum wage burger flipper.

We should go a bit easier on poor op. The asshole whosold him these games is ruining the scene. Its not his fault, he just wanted some good games and now the asshole wont even answer his phone

>>3569894
Since the games are no longer being sold you get away with the copyright angle since it's a grey area.

But if you intentionally misrepresent the product you're selling and market it as the real deal you could be had for fraud, misrepresentation, selling counterfeit goods etc. If you're smart about it and word your sales carefully then it'll be hard to get any evidence against you. And unless you're doing this on an industrial scale no one will care enough to investigate, either.

>>3569006

>>3569573

The one in that picture has the worse audio quality, if it has "High Definition Graphics" it's the better one.

>>3575252
See the picture of the back in >>3569587.

The fact that the power connector is right at the edge rather than slide and the sizable amount of plastic to the left of the channel switch in signifies it's a VA6.5 or 6.8. Both of these use the same audio circuitry as the VA3-6 "High Definition Graphics" Models and will sound just as good. The main difference is the lack of ext port (which would go in the area next to the channel switch), lack of HDG on the case, and the TMSS screen at start up.

If it wasn't aligned with the edge, and didn't have the space where the ext port should be, then it would be a VA7, which is the shitter.

>>3575438

Ah I see. I made sure to buy a launch model just to be sure.

>>3575449
A VA2? Those also have their own issues, mainly having too much amplification. It's the VA3-5 to grab if you really want to be sure you're getting the best audio quality. VA6 too if you don't mind the TMSS.

>>3575483

Not really sure what a VA is, and I don't want to open up my system.

>>3569029
They're bootlegs, just pull it apart, the screws are fake.

>>3570587
>Latency is a very real downside to emulation.
When will this meme die?

>>3575507
Board revisions. VA0 an VA1 are the launch Japanese Mega Drives, VA2(HDG) is the launch US Mega Drive. All of them have the same over amplification issue. VA3-5 are later "HDG" models with the ext port an all of that, and use the same fixed audio circuit. VA6 gets rid of the EXT port, but keeps the HDG logo; 6.5/6.8 get rid of the logo, but keep the audio circuit.
VA7 is essentially an early Model 2 board in a Model 1 case.

As long as the audio sounds good to you, that's all that important.

>>3575565

So, VA3-5 have the EXT port? Mine has that.

not going to work if its all at once
spread out to multiple listings and cover them all with casings not just the repros.
also you're risking getting stabbed by a black guy or dudebro who knows his shit

>>3576821
only certain games. Konami games are the easiest to notice

>>3576845
yeah because gangbangers are super into retro vidya. his plan would probably work pretty good.

>>3576883
people who want to make a quick buck fairly quickly attract those kind of people.
just warning anon as thier are safer and faster ways of making that kind of sum, but yes it has a fairly high success rate.

It was pretty nice out today so there were a bunch of last minute garage sales. Got all this plus the first three .hack games for a combined total of $30.

There was an older couple selling 40 goosebumps books for $25, but I had to turn it down due to not having space for them.

Went to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo today...

>>3576956
did they put that stuff out for display or did you ask them if they had it
also did you have to haggle for price?

>>3577075
The guy with the PS2 games forgot he had them until I asked if he had any games, and the lady I bought Mario and Zelda from also brought them and some other stuff out when I asked if she had any. The guy was cool with $2 a game, and the lady had a vague idea of what stuff was worth and wouldn't go below $10 a piece.

I always do a cursory glance of what they have out, then politely ask if they happen to have any older games. Most times they don't, or they'll have garbo titles but you just have to decline and thank them for their time.

>>3577072
I'm jealous of those Oracle games. I have them on my 3DS, but it would be nicer to have physical copies.

How much did you pay?

>>3574375

Pharaoh is fantastic. I spent so many hours on it. Get the Cleopatra expansion for even more city building fun!

>>3577121
yeah, never hurts to ask.
did you get their super early? all the good stuff seems to be gone after an hour when they put out.

>>3577153
I actually didn't get to the first garage sale until a bit after 1pm, but I know what you mean. Seems every time I go to garage sales nobody has anything or they sold it earlier. I've been hitting up a flea market the past few weeks and found some neat stuff there though.

It's a bit disheartening not finding anything so often, but it's great when you do.

>>3577167
that's cool, all the flea markets in my state are in shitty areas over 30 miles away from where I live and they never have games. always indoors too, which is a huge red flag in my opinion.
goodwills occasionally have stuff in my experience even though its never retro but you have to be persistent with them to find stuff and yard sales will probably net better stuff in the long run.

Here you go,
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32716589020.html

I've bought 1 game from them and the quality was better then I expected, it was quite shitty plastic but better then I expected. The game thag I bought was also one that didnt need saving so Im not to sure about the save quality, but Ive read from others that saving is good and working. I guess buy at your own risk.

Not anymore. Resllers have been taking model 2's and putting them in model 1 "High Definition Graphics" cases because they know people are willing to pay more thinking they're getting better audio.

>>3578903
Keep telling yourself that man hopefully it'll prevent you from realizing you bought a fake model 1.

>>3578827
Right.. Because the boards aren't completely different...

>>3578904
I have 5 megadrives (ツ) all of them opened at some point (ツ)

>>3578827
>>3578901
So what happens to the good board from the model 1? It doesn't fit into the model 2 case. Does that then go into a non-high-definition-graphics case? If so, what happens to the board from that one? Something doesn't add up.

>>3569050

ITT: People take OP's bait.

>>3580864
Even OP gave up on his troll thread.

But part of me seriously wants to believe OP jumped ship after everyone told him his carts were repros and he's frantically emailing the seller every hour while trying to convince himself that the games are authentic.

>>3578808
We'll see. Prices are still rising. I thought they would have settled a long time ago.

why not just buy an everdrive?

>implying you could tell a difference between bsnes displaying 240p and real SNES on the same CRT
I tried what you said. Hooked up a snes and my PC running higan (supposedly better than bsnes) to my CRT and I played some SMW.

Yes, the video difference is negligible (although I can still notice it) and higan's audio emulation is great.
The problem is, can you guess? Latency.
Not on the pc monitor, mind you. The problem is once I Iook at the image outputted to the tv screen through my video converter. I get some input delay. It's not a meme. Unless there's some settings or special video converters I don't know about.

random question
this is fake right? because it doesnt have the extended chips on the sides?? should it look like yoshis island where it has the extended chip or whatever its called fx chip?

Posted this in the crt thread, but I picked up this TV yesterday for $20 and couldn't be happier with it.

>>3582468
Fuck you, I'm jealous. People around here just have really overpriced ones ($70 for a 200 pound tv, they're basically paying you to get rid of it for them), super huge ones or non-trinitron tvs.

>>3582468
What connections homie

>>3582526
1 component input, one AV input, and one combination S-Video/AV input for a total of 3 usable connections at once. Definitely need to get myself an input switch box.

Are you the TMNT Tournament cartridge idiot/shitposter again?

I know this is a little too recent to be /vr/ but I picked up an original Xbox (no cables unfortunately) with 24 games (mostly racing) official XB cases for disks and the system itself, DVD adapter + remote, and 4 controllers(2 are wireless and the better condition wireless has a broken D-pad also no wireless adapter so they're useless anyways :/ ) for 35 bucks. Preddy noice if I do say so myself.

I also picked up Half Life PS2 complete for 5 bucks and HL2 and Morrowind Platinum Hits XB both complete for 15 bucks. I mainly collect 6th gen stuff right now. Now I just need a DC.

I'm an 18 year old kid catching up on my own generations shit while stuck in retro games cus of how poor I grew up lol. At least I have good taste in games.

>>3585564
You're just jealous of his rare beta prototype cartridge.

>>3582483
>$70 for a 200 pound tv

$70

Picked both these up for $20 with six controllers and mortal combat gold

>>3586579
Then I have 20 bucks for this too

I'm so happy! I was walking home the other day and spotted this on the curb just two doors away from my building. I don't have a car, so the chances of me ever getting a CRT like this were slim. But it was just sitting there within spitting distance of my door, like a gift from heaven. I managed to get it home on a dolly and it's fantastic. I had a 27'' Trinitron in the early 2000s and would still love to reacquire one, but this thing is almost as beautiful. It's 32'' with one S-video input, one component, and two composite, one of which is shared with the S-video. I had been using a 14'' PVM prior, but it's so much more fun playing on such a big screen via S-video.

>>3569073
>They are all in near mind condition
Yeah, that's the part that's questionable

>>3568975
like a week or two recent but pic related. the ad was asking for $60 but I asked if they wouldn't happen to be willing to just give it away. To my surprise they said they've been trying to get rid of it for years but nobody would pay anything. Got some homies and one random guy to help me lug it into the bedroom. The setup is still undergoing tidying up until I decide what I want to place and where so it basically looks the same right now.

I've only got an original Playstation hooked up at the moment, so I can only use s-video for that. But I'll definitely be using component for PS2 and other consoles. At the moment though the TV is just sitting on my floor in an awkward location, so once I find a more permanent place for it, I'll hook everything else up.

>>3582410
Because it's "Best SNES Game"

>>3586823
IIRC PS1 has native component out

>>3569006

dreamcast games are hard for me to see as a rarity since everyone pirates them. the only ones I feel are super ultra rare are project justice and maybe some other handfuls that are not japanese

Nope all, PS1 models just have RGBS.

PS2 can do component when playing PS1 games.

>>3568975

Too bad for that piss famicom, though.

>>3586743
Before the unnecessary preposition.

Just scored this for 25 bucks. I told myself I would only collect games and systems from my childhood (NES through Psx) but this just looked too cool to pass up. Once I got home and disdained research I found these things were actually marketed as game consoles and home computers back in the 80s. I can't wait to start writing some programs on it but I think I need some special cartridge. From what I've read it will run some variant of BASIC for Atari. The keyboard sucks but it seems pretty cool. Anyone know much about this thing?

>>3588060
Holy crap they really made things to last back in the day. Beneath the plastic outer shell encasing the components is some sort of thick metal

>>3588071
That was pretty unique to that system. Everything else was mostly plastic. But yes, things were built to last. That's why 100 years from now there will still be plenty of 2600s and every NDSL will have turned to dust.

>>3588060
I grew up with an Atari 800.
The 400 and 800 need a BASIC cartridge; the later models had BASIC built-in.

>>3576932
>>3578530
you kind avoid all of this by meeting in a public place during the day. if you're that much of a pussy to be scared of craigslist then bring a friend.

>>3587325
I've ruined too many Super Nintendos messing with retrobrite to ever attempt it again. I'm now trying to get into the mindset of thinking of yellowed plastic as something that makes consoles look more distinguished, like the patina on copper.

>>3588224
Filthy reseller swine. you always find a way to ruin classic games some way or another

Neo Geo MVS MV-1FZ with universal bios, Fatal Fury 2 and Bubble Trouble for $120 CAD, do I go for it?

Got an Atari 800 from my uncle a while back.
Half the keyboard was unresponsive.

It couldn't even play Star Raider.

>>3588060
Grats to you.
>think I need some special cartridge.
Yup. The interpreter is on a cartridge called "Atari BASIC"
>Anyone know much about this thing?
Literally a home computer.
Best game for the platform is Star Raider.

>>3588382
>Best game for the platform
I liked Star Raiders but I had the most fun with Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. My brothers and I played that so much.

>>3586861
Fuck yes. The Best way to play ps1 games is on a PS2 with Component cables. Make sure to use the PS2's texture enhancer for ps1 games that support it properly (Vagrant Story and a few others come to mind).

PS3 with HDMI makes ps1 games look awful :(

>>3588224
oh yes, quite exquisite indeed.

Went around to the nearest game shops today (over an hour away) and found a few things I've been looking for. One of the stores turned out to be trying to get out of their genesis and master system stuff and had everything half price, which takes their prices from "ebay average" to "crazy good". Unfortunately, the cover of Splatterhouse's manual is ripped off and has a rental sticker on it, but everything else is complete and in decent shape.

>>3588607
High Seas Havoc is just awesome. I played the living shit out of it when I was a kid and it is a true hidden gem in my mind because no one ever knows what it is when I bring it up.

>>3588607
That's a damn shame about Splatterhouse.

>>3588657
Yeah, it sucks, but I'm sure I'll never find a better copy unless I'm willing to shell out over $100. I'm not terribly worried about the sticker, in fact it's probably the reason the manual's still there at all, so I should probably leave it on in thanks. I would like to fix the cover, but I'm not sure how to get the cover back on without ruining it more.

You got scammed. Screws don't look like that on official carts.

Most recent purchase was WURM: Journey to the Center of the Earth.

The Americlap artwork is hilarious, but the story is part of the reason to play the game, so I really wanted it in English.

>>3590252
JP artwork is pretty AESTHETIC

>>3590250
I really liked this game and recorded the cut scenes on videotape

>>3582263
The first 3 are a dime a dozen, if he said "I got three copies of .hack quarantine for $30" that'd be another story.

>>3590383
Fuck, I wish. I've been looking for that game for a while now. My heart skipped a beat when I caught a glimpse of ".hack" in the stack of PS2 games he brought out, but I wasn't so lucky.

One day I'll find it.

Op here. Thanks for the name calling losers. I have made my money back now thank you. I put a few sports games with them and sold them all back on craigs list. Now whos laughing...

>>3590637
I think the fact that you tried bragging about buying obvious reproductions without noticing your own stupidity in the first place still makes you the retard...

>>3590637

Got all of this for the grand total of $20. The PS2, cords, and controllers were pretty disgusting and the disc tray wouldn't open, but I managed to clean them up and fix the issue.

Think I got a little ripped off on Blinx for $4, the guy was talking complete bullshit about how it was really worth something now, but I never got to play it as a kid and it always looked cool.

>>3591934
Right? I even had to convince the guy to go down to $5 from $8 by pointing out he had three copies of PD, and leaving for almost an hour. Other than that he seemed pretty cool though so it's no biggie.

And a couple of pictures of the PS2 before hand because it was seriously gross.

>>3591954
Everything was coated in this stuff, and had a nasty, musty odor to it. Most of the mustiness went away after cleaning, but I keep catching wisps of it every once in a while.

N64 RE2 was the best one for speed running. You can actually skip the cutscenes and no disc switching.

Bought a $100 lot of Saturn games and accessories. It came with a arcade stick, stunner gun, steering wheel, a flight joystick, the 3D control pad, and a Mission Stick. It also came with Marvel Super Heroes CIB, Resident Evil CIB, and Alien Trilogy CIB. Also had Darius Gaiden, disc only. There's like 15 other games but it's all sports games, shovelware, Daytona USA and Virtua Cop (great games but worthless) and for some reason, a loose disc of Samurai Showdown for 3DO.

I bought Tetris Attack and Pilotwings for the SNES. 15 each.

I know they are overpriced, but I'm impulsive and they seem like good games. Ordering games online seems like such a crapshoot since I wouldn't be able to do anything if it is broken besides the Q-tip and alcohol thing.

>>3592298
What site did you get them from?

>>3592298
thought you said 15 both. then I reread.

>>3592310
I don't order stuff online, to be honest. I went into a Game Over Games to kill time and ended up buying that and a few other games that are less retro (Beyond Good and Evil, Me & My Katamari, Spider-Man for the PS1).

I know I can get better prices online, but at the same time, I probably wouldn't have thought to buy them until I saw them right there.

>>3592331
Yeah, that'd be cool. Even online prices seem to have it at 10 and with shipping it probably evens out.

I'm super pleased with Tetris Attack though, the graphics and music are top notch and it is super addicting.

I got a haul yesterday but am concerned about posting it since half this thread was bait nibbling.

Holy shit man. Spend 8 bucks on a USB SNES game pad, 3-6 bucks on a really long extension cable so you can sit on the couch, and run emulators. Hory shit.
