/vr/ - Retro Games

Is that an astronaut helmet or some weird TV?

>>4460960
It's a Game Sphere.

hey there, you have a lot of hidden gems here.
I really like the westernized famicoms, and was just curious if you had the doki doki panic game referred to more commonly as Super Mario bros 2.
Also I only have 2 dollars and some crusted up cum flakes to pay, thats cool right?

>>4460948
Do you think these guys take the games home? Like if something good or rare comes in they never put it on the shelf just take it home?

>>4460965
A smart dealer doesn't get high off his own supply.
So yeah probably.

>>4460964
>hidden gems
medal jebus, who let you in?

That guy sure looks happy with that dead look in his eyes

>>4460969
That guy has like a dozen DK 64's there, who cares if he takes one? And look at all those boxed copies, I'd be too tempted

>>4460948
I'm skeptical if this is actually a shop or merely a dude's collection.

>REEEEE WHY ARE YOU CHARGING ME EBAY PRICES THESE GAMES SHOULD BE FREE
>RREEEE WHY AREN'T YOU GIVING ME EBAY PRICES FOR MY GAMES MY TRADE INS ARE VALUABLE

>tfw a retro game shop opened in a mall in my area
>shut down just a month or two later
I've never seen a business shut down so fast.

>>4460963
Ohh my lord

>>4461485
There's one at a local mall that closes and reopens every six months - like they operate, close, immediately reopen. I don't get it really. Everything's usually shit, but in the last two months or so of each cycle everything is 50% or whatever, so things become at least reasonable.

>>4460948
One Sega Pods please.

>>4460965
>>4460979
That is his home.

>>4461308
Gamer pillows

>>4460948
Yeah I'll take one copy of Chip Chan Kick please.

>>4460948
>Nah. I got everything I want long ago for dirt cheap. I just came for the keks

>>4461485
Had this same thing happen near me, but then normies aren't going to buy copies of TMNT 2 for $50 just sitting there...like the guy mostly just had shitty NES and SNES games for no less than $20.

Battletoads

>>4460963
Not retro

>>4460948
>putting your games behind the counter where customers can't get close enough to look
As someone who has no eyes this severely pisses me off whenever I encounter it. It's like they don't want my money.

>>4461485
Not a store but there was an arcade that opened up with loads of cool games and they closed down the day after I spent $50 worth of tokens I wanted to use on the weekend.

Been checking the facebook marketplace, didnt know that shit existed until someone mentioned it in some thread here
Most people want so much for their shit, genesis are usually model 2 or 3, and usually only sport shit, no saturns and they ask 150 for dreamcast usually
Even atari games are expensive

I'll take one master system phaser and controller as well as one 32x. Here's $50. Keep the change.

i'll take either iron storm for sega saturn or operation europe for SNES

and a copy of starcraft 64 while your at it.

>>4461347
Damn. He found the first Nintendo DS built.

Do you have any games by black people?

>>4460948
>not finding someone who is planning to set up a retro store and then selling them all your retro shit

I made like $3k on all my random retro crap that had just been collecting dust. If I'd sat around and ebayed them properly, I'd only have made ~$3.5k

Was so nice to just offload it all at the same time.

>>4460960
I've seen a tv like that once at a flea market.
It looked cool but the guy wanted like 50$ for it so, yeah, no thanks.

>>4460972
>>4461308
He redeemed himself in my eyes with the video where he talks about what it was like to work for Sierra's tech support. One could say that among his videos this one is a hidden gem.

>>4460948
Everdrive, please

>>4460948
Shit man.

How bad can business be if you can't even sell the popular n64 games?

There's like 10 copies of <spoiler>Melee</spoiler> up there how have you not convinced people to buy those? San Antonio is not that small of a town.

Though I guess you keep that stuff so far out of reach that nobody has noticed.

>>4460948
This place sucks ass now. Went there with a friend recently, piles and piles of shit that no one wants and they can never get rid of since their prices are obnoxious. They go out of their way to rip the fuck off out of you. You can barely move in there now a days, it's a hideous trash pile of a store now.

Not recommended.

>>4460948
Lunar: The Silver Star for Sega CD, and if you give me any cross talk I'll slap the taste out of your mouth, nerd.

>>4462018
>$50
U DUN GOOFED

Could've flipped it to a hipster for mad stacks yo.

Earthbound my good shopkeep.

>>4462734
>we're sorry you had a bad experience
>please accept this $5 voucher to use on your next purchase.

>>4460948

Yeah do you have any CRT computer monitors that are compatible with modern graphics cards. I just emulate everything on my PC.

>emulate
>everything
>on PC

>>4462801
I hope you used Kai's Power Goo to make that.

>>4462024
he still has absolutely shit taste in just about everything though

The local retro vintage tubular video game store in my area wants over $100 for Countdown Vampires. They had some obscure PS1 games with a photocopied image of the manual for $50.

>>4462024
dude is still a massive faggot who has no idea of what is a "hidden" gem along with being completely autistic on camera. His guests surpass him in every way when they aren't answering bullshit potato questions from this hack.

>>4462024
>>4461308
>constantly brags about "working" for Sierra in the 90s
>was fucking tech support and customer service

>>4460948
Say, good Sir, would you happen to have the latest installment in the ever-so-popular series that once revolutionised the side-scrolling conflict amphibian genre?

>>4461409
The absolute state of the retro gaming community.

My opinion is that you should be a little more than a few dollars below eBay pricing on the bigger titles but the common stuff like Mario/Duck Hunt should be set closer to the eBay rate.

>>4463110
This, it's pretty hilarious how he thinks that makes him special. Might as well be a janitor at EA offices and brag about it.

However, he actually appeared in a shitty FMV point and click adventure game. Can't remember the title.

>>4461347
That guy actually killed himself.

>>4460948

All 5th gen shit.

He has the shittiest taste on the planet. Everything is a gay-ass JRPG for fags. His dumb "hidden gem" shtick is nothing but random grab-bag lists of whatever obscure games he could find, and they're always complete garbage. He's also extremely ugly.

>>4463327
>He's also extremely ugly.
This part made me laugh more than it should have.

>>4463110
>always says "we" referring to himself and Sierra, as in "When we released this game" as if he was fucking lead programmer
>he answered phones
