/vr/ - Retro Games

Shit, I wish I had more ignorant stores near me that carried old vidya

Holy shit I am jealous as fuck.

I got a boxed copy of Mischief Makers for $5 ad a Play n Trade

how recent was this OP?

>>387682

Maybe 4 or 5 years ago? It was around the time I was finishing high school.

>>387612
Holy mother of fuck.

>>387671

Fuck, I payed $10 for it cartridge only at a pawn shop and the sticker is a bit faded.

Game is fun as fuck though.

>>387686
cool, a bit jealous, but i think everyone will find their copy for 5 bucks in time.

>>387686

Actually, I just noticed the tag says it was 2009, so I guess it was 4 years ago.

I recently bought a SNES console with 2 controllers from a coworker that came with a mickey mouse game, DK2, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Super Contra, Kirby Superstar, Super Metroid AND Demon Crest all for 35 dollars

found Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy II at Goodwill for $2.99 each. Super Castlevania IV was there too but I didn't have enough money to get that one too (I was in middle school)

I fucking wish there was a good will around here.

Fucking fuck

I got a copy of Pokemon Blue for $2 from GameStop a few years ago when they were trying to get rid of their older stock.

your mom blowing my cart
five bux

>>387710

Holy crap. Demon's Crest goes for much more than that alone.

I got Earthbound years ago for $8 when the video rental store was getting rid of their snes games to make room for saturn, ps1 and n64 stuff. Had no clue it would be rare years later, it was just fun to play when I rented it.

>>387767
I still think it's hilarious that of all games, it was that selection of games. I was so excited when I found those. All I'd ever found before were hockey and football SNES games. Oh, and FACEBALL

>>387837
Yeah it's pretty funny

Still wish I could find a SNES system here, and SNES games that aren't sports here

>>387612
>Pic related, the value village near me prices every snes game at $5 no matter what it is. Got this, along with Mario Kart, Link to the Past and Mario All-Stars.

You motherfucker. Where do you live?

>>388283

Good ol Ottawa. The value village has had fuckall though every time I went afterwards.

Still shrink wrapped Zelda: Link to the Past for $3.
Sold it on ebay for significantly more.

You lucky fucker. Why can't I find thrift shops and Goodwills like this that aren't stuffed with copies of Madden '94.

On a single game?

Lunar - Eternal Blue for free, complete sans the foam rectangle bit. Unless it came with extra swag, in which case, I just gave the case, manual, inserts, and game.

Tron Bonne from fucking Gamestop for like $9.

>>387648
(quote)Shit. I Wish More Smart Stores near me carried old vidya(/quote)

Fixed for the Truth

Deus Ex shrinkwrapped for $6, even had an ad for Daikatana on the newsletter thing.

Fuck yeah I unwrapped that shit, games are meant to be played.

oh boy, too bad miracles like this does not happen anymore at 2012-2013.

>>387612
Wind Waker/ Ocarina of Time Master Quest unopened at a pawn shop for 10 bucks. It was pretty much a guns/knives only pawnshop where they didn't know shit about games. Hell, I didn't even know it was that valuable at the time.

>>389478
>tfw I payed $30 for Wind Waker because only one shop sells vidya for 10 miles in all directions
>ended up not even liking that much

you son of a bitch

>>389496
>$30
you fucked up.

>Housewares

I bought Chrono Trigger and a controller for $10 bucks from my friend.

These 2 for $50 total

Not THAT great of a deal but the best I've ever gotten.

A gigantic Phantasy Star Online poster and SNES game copier for £5

Damn, I love clueless people, I think it was a parent getting rid of her sons stuff that he left behind when moving out.

I used to work in a game store. People brought in rare stuff to trade for store credit all the time; somehow they got store credit paid for in cash instead.

Basically, imagine getting at least half of your video game library for the same price that Gamestop would give in store credit. It's kind of like that. Game that just came out three weeks ago for $18? Sure, why not. Rare as fuck JRPG for $3? Okay. Never got caught because my DM was too busy playing MMORPGs.

>>389496

>have access to internet
>knowingly pay inflated price at brick and mortar store

Got this for $15 when Hollywood Video stopped renting SNES stuff.. Box and instructions were beat up, but were there.

Final Fantasy VII for 3 bucks in a Cash Converters. Considering I live in Australia this is a pretty damn good deal.

>mfw I bought a snes before actually looking at game prices in this country

>>387612
$2 for boxed Beat 'em and Eat 'em, off the top of my head. Oh, and $3 for CiB Conker's BFD. MMMMMM

>>387612
Snes with Legend of Zelda (both unboxed, with all cables) at a car boot for £10.... Played the fuck out of that and still got it somewhere.

Gameboy advance for £5 at same car boot off different seller, got it home and there was a pokemon (ruby I think) cart in the system.

Best: Super Mario RPG at Goodwill for $2

Worst: Bought Tetris for the NES for $5, and it has a hole in the top of the cartridge.

I bought that Teris cart a week ago

>>391076

I honestly wonder how the hell some of this shit happens to cartridges. That's one clean hole so it sure as fuck isn't accidental, and there's no sprue around it so it's probably not a factory defect. What the hell?

>>391087
Methinks rental.

Maybe they wanted to wear it on a chain, like a hipster Flava Flav.

>>391091
Sounds likely, tho there used to be a guy with a stall in the Indoor market in my town, (Ayr, scotland) that sold cheap cd's, and a lot of them had a drilled or hacksaw cut hole on the hinge edge of the box, always wondered if he knew someone that distributed them, that maybe "accidentally" damaged a few and passed them on cheap.....

When I made a thread about it a week ago, people said stores such as Blockbuster used to do this to put the games on hooks on walls for display.

Also, I've cleaned it up since this pic was taken, disregard the dirtiness. The game works fine too.

$2 in a clearance sale.

>>391087

Some used stores do that so they can be hung on hooks for display. It's barbaric.

I was pretty happy finding this for $29 on eBay

Uh, well I bought Conker's Bad Fur Day about 3-4 years back for what was probably ~£10. Now, for some reason, it's suddenly seems to be selling for £80+. I have no idea why.

Probably Terraria. 2.49 for 300+ hours of play

$10 unopened

No question: getting Suikoden 2 for $40, in excellent condition, with case and manual.

I went to my local Goodwill last week and got Mario bros. 3, Mario/duckhunt, and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus plus the guides for Diablo 2, Warcraft, and Warcraft 2. All that was a little over 10 bucks. 2.99 for the games and .50 for the books.
