/vr/ - Retro Games

I remember we used to have these threads more often.
I haven't gotten anything new in a while though.

Not got 'em yet but thinking of picking these up.

y/n?

Got this sick Tweety coffee mug the other day

>>4849782
hell yeah, a bonfire with the bros is always a good time

Found this at an estate sale. Surprisingly I went on the last day and this was still there.

>>4849816
Most notable titles

>>4849817
What about raiden trad?

>>4849839
I'm not familiar with the game, is it good? I got a little tired of scrolling shooters and don't really play them much anymore.

>>4849846
Also is this the right case for it? It's like a blockbuster case.

>>4849846
saying i think its worth like $100

>>4849848
It's so rare that I can't even find a USA copy on ebay history etc.

>>4849848
>>4849852
???

Caution Seaman is worth a decent bit. It looks like it's still brand new. The jewel case is wrapped up.

>>4849854
weird cant find anything here but JP

>>4849860
>caution seaman

My first Neo Geo cart.

Just grabbed all this today for basically free. I feel pretty great about being able to finally add the Dreamcast to my collection.

>>4850689
Dreamcast is one the best, but the library is very small. Also for the love of god get some Permatex lithium grease for $4 on amazon

>>4851064
Mind telling me why?

>>4849770
Great score

>>4851348
because they sound like dot-matrix printers

>>4851392
>i never heard a dot matrix printer in my life

>because i though it would make me sound old

The only /vr/ related thing recently was a copy of Intelligent Qube for $20 a few weeks ago and a Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure 2 for $20 this past weekend

I just bought a snes and some games off ebay for $60 shipped.

>>4854121
What games?

>>4851808
I used one every to print invoices at a shop I worked at you nigger, imagine being this desperate for attention

>>4854281
Donkey Kong Country, Vegas Stakes, Home Alone 2

I'm driving out to pick up a pile of games from someone off letgo either tomorrow or sunday. I'll post the lot when I get it home. There are a few good ones.

Tubular

>>4854287
I don't need to imagine someone being so desperate for attention they'd LARP about using a printer. There's some doing it right here ITT.

>>4854730

>>4854730
I have to put my dreamcast in a soundproof box just to be able to hear the tv over it.

>>4849770
TOO STRONG
TOO STRONG

>>4854317
Boo had bad weather and dude wants to meet sunday instead. Guess I have to wait...

This showed up in the mail this morning. I didn't remember buying it, I must have been drunk. I still want to buy it for the NES...

I almost don't want to open it since it's still shrink wrapped, but it is one of my favorite NES games.

Ladies and Gentlemen, today is Shit Get Saturday, and these are my recent pick ups.

$18 for everything

In the last few months, I got a bootleg Chinese console with a 161-in-1 cart. I also want the 138-in-1 cart too, but I don't understand that one's breakout board.

Some flightstick from Goodwill for $3 which I hope will work on the 486DX4 for X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and Wing Commander 1+2. Never played those games with a flightstick, and I hear the experience is much better with it. It needs a bit of cleaning.

I am really close to building a J-Win98SE machine. Got a floppy drive, a case fan, and a CPU cooler. Now I really got to figure out if I can partition a 1TB HDD to have 120/128GBs only for J-Win98SE, and maybe partition the rest for XP usage, or does J-Win98SE require a dedicated 120/128GB for its boot drive (no 2nd partition, limited to that amount by Seatools)? If I get a 2nd HDD, does it also have to be limited to 120/128GB as well, or is 120/128GB the absolute maximum Win98 can handle and additional drives are pointless?

a copy of Bladerunner on 4 CDs

>>4857236
This is weird. I did got the same thing.

>>4857169
What did you find this haul through if you don't mind me asking? Was it a garage sale, estate sale, craigslist, or something else? Every search tool I find seems like SNES is picked clean and my only luck has been through random finds at garage/estate sales.

>>4854317
Sunday pickup complete. This was the haul.

>>4859557
Ok, how much?

>>4858112
Garage sale, through the Special Dillweed Garage Sale technique. It's how I found The Krion Conquest for a dollar.

>>4859667
It was several hundred. I went to get the genesis and games for a hundred and then I got a bit carried away because why not. They're from an old collector. I talked with the seller for a while and he has a complete boxed NES library minus 3 games he said he's considering parting with. I wonder what he would let it go for.

>>4859672
Badass. Garage sale finds are the best.

Is it worth the risk? $50 for the lot.

Recently downloaded 30,000 game roms for the low price of $0.00.

>>4854730
What's so absurd about people who are interested in retro video games also knowing what retro tech from the same era sounds like?

>>4859750
Get fucked.

>>4860052
Woah quit harshing my mellow brotha man.
We are all collectors in this community. I just happen to be the smartest,best and most prolific one on this board! Peace and love.

>>4860060
I mean, not when you when you the opportunity of getting a copy of Dragon Warrior 3 for free from a friend, but I do like the hippie vibes I am getting from you.

>>4860074
Oof, my poor English. I meant "when you have the opportunity."

>>4850689
howd you get it for free?

>>4860453
He stole it. Hes a darkie anon, he probably raped a pregnant lady for it.

>>4860425
Maybe the barbecue we enjoy will be overcooked?

just ordered a sega saturn with some games
ill take a pic when they arrive

>>4860453
Traded a bunch of old manga I don't read anymore to a friend who never played the Dreamcast. Everything is in great condition, too.

Picked up these last week for $50 total.

As i collect Super Famicom im thinking about selling them and get the SFam counterparts (already have Mario RPG in English inside a SFam shell) so, how much could you guys sell them for locally ? Craigslist, Offerup... im hessitant about Ebay sine i dont wanna get ripped off by a fucking collector scum who will make a claim and then return Catslevania with a repro board...

>>4861197
Do you honestly think a collector would touch a label that looks like that?

>>4849770
My best online classified find in quite a while. I paid $150 for all this. All complete. I dropped everything I was doing to go buy them. I now have a very reasonable TG-16 library. Looking to get Legendary Axe and Blazing Lazers next.

This was already a few weeks ago, and the guy said he had even more Turbo games that he said he found at a garage sale last year for like $150. He said it was about 70 games, some CD games, and some even sealed. I got his phone number, I tried calling him and messaging him on the phone and even through the selling app, but he basically ghosted on me starting the day he said I could come over to check everything out to buy it all. I haven;t heard back from him since. I'm wondering if he realized what exactly he has and just decided to sell it himself for maximum profit. I made it very clear I'd pay top dollar too, literally I was ready to write a cheque for thousands of dollars. God knows what kind of stuff he could have had if he still had like 60 other Turbo games leftover.

>>4861197
Just keep the damaged labels and sell smrpg. Most people on ebay are alright, but every once in a while you get a fuckin asshole who trying to pull some shit. Ive had sellers try to pull wierd scams about sending me the "wrong games" as extra "free gifts" because one of the games in the listing wasnt up to their standards.

>>4861289
Good shit.

I just got these today, more imports. Im fucking addicted to this shit

>>4862208
Wrong post

>>4861471

>>4861197
I'd get that Dracula X from you, for my friend, since his birthday arrives in August. However, I certainly wouldn't pay full price for something that deteriorated. If you are interested in a price, we might work something out.

Went for the Japanese release since the manual and CD looked a lot better than the U.S. version.

>>4861471
drop klax and keith and we have a good ass set of games there bro, fun as shit

>>4861197
I wonder how labels get this fucked. Is it cigarette smokers?

>>4863291
Klax I'm for sure selling/trading, Keith Courage I might keep but honestly I don't care much about it. Galaga 90, Bonk and Splatterhouse and Legendary Axe are my favourites so far

>>4863445
Looks like water damage to me

>>4862972
the problem is i have no idea what ¨full price¨ is, theres no store in my area selling it, and on Ebay i dotn see any auction to get an idea on how much people are actually paying for it to have an idea on how jmuch i could get in the poor condition mine is.

>>4850689
Damn, all that bundled together could go for a good price. Nice job getting it for "free". Hope you didn't have a manga that was worth a similar amount or something.

Get a VGA cable and play some Skies, that game alone goes for like 70+ and it's fucking amazing.

>>4863543
Full price on average is 120 bucks for a loose copy. For your copy, the cart needs "retrobrited," the label has seen better days, and it looks like someone took a pair of needlenose pliers to the cart in an attempt to open the game up. I'd go $65 on it, if the board is authentic.

>>4863497
Buy Bomberman '94

>>4850689
Had ever one of those, worth it for SoA alone but the rest are solid. Recommend Phantasy Star Online, JSR and Power Stone.

Where's a nigga get a cheap PC engine nowadays?

Been helping a small local business organise and clean some games and consoles a collector dropped off. Instead of getting paid, I instead wanted to grab a game for helping out. So I got harvest moon gb boxed in japanese, because I figured nobody here would've bought it anyways because... well it's in japanese. The other game is winter Olympic games I bought from a different shop, solely for the card holder it came with.
I'll probably make a thread about the collection in a few days because there's a lot of stuff in there. I'm sure /vr/ would be interested, compared to yet another "OoT is bad" thread.

I bought a copy of Unreal Gold today for 2bux, is this awesome?

Why are you collecting shit you won't even play ?

>>4864898
Because deep down it's just a channel for bragging rights, I don't own any games and all my systems are modded and I guarantee I've passively played more games than any of these collectorfag losers

>>4864898
I play the garbage I collect. What's the point in buying something I won't play?

>>4850689
The last boss of SoA pissed me off so bad

>>4864849
Where did you get that Capsule Corp sticker?

>>4865176
How, he was a pushover?

The ship battle beforehand was more annoying, it was a huge waste of time and one mistake could set you back 30 minutes.

Ordered some PSX games from fucking Gamestop online which should be here tomorrow. Their prices are pretty reasonable nowadays but you roll the dice as far as what condition they're in and if they come with case or manual. Also ordered pic related last night.

>>4865065
Collecting is borderline a mental illness symptom, but one i'm glad others are doing (for posterity). I'm glad for the hoarders lest more things get lost to time.

>>4862208
Albert Odyssey Gaiden is a comfy game

Today I discovered why Wild 9 is a hidden gem. The PAL box doesn't have any gameplay pictures, it looks really bland.

I've got C-12 too.

$25 for the pair from 2nd & Charles.

It was bizarre, I just went in there on a whim and they had a HUGE stack of Japanese Saturn, Neo-Geo CD, and AES games behind the counter. Well priced, too. No consoles, so I don't know where they came from. You would think someone dumping this kind of stuff would get rid of all of it in one shot, and it's weird that someone who had a big collection of Neo-Geo stuff would take it to a 2nd and Charles of all places, but there you go.

I never find this kind of stuff, and it was weird that when I did, it was at a large chain store.

OSSC I got about a week and a half ago. RGB-modded N64 with De-Blur arrived today, CBF is a cheap repro and Zelda 2 I picket up for cheap. The Component switcher I got like a month ago but the only thing connected rn is my PSP Go, still looking for an original PS2 component cable. The Bandridge is already a bit older, it's been very useful

>>4863608
Skies doesn't support VGA natively, you need to run a "hack"/patch first. Blows really hard, traded Shenmue 1 for it, I own a decent SCART cable for the DC, still annoying.

saturn may be my new favorite sega console but idk how it stacks up to the 64
also what games should i be on the lookout for?

Can't wait to start playing it when I have a lot of time on Saturday morning. It's been a long week, and while I played a bit and wasn't into RPGs as a kid, I'm still not, but I'm willing to give it another try.

So I'm thinking about getting into Dreamcast. How much should I expect to spend on a System and what should I look out for?

>>4868767
Five dollars for a system and all the games. That's all it's worth.

Okay, maybe Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Shenmue is an exception.

Got these at an estate sale for a buck each so I figured why not buy the whole pile. The CRT was $10 as well.

>>4868709
Get gungriffon

>>4868752
>>4868927
Nice!

Paid 10 bucks for it, today. The sale operator thought it was garbage. Honestly should've said 5, but who cares? A NES for 10 dollars and some games is still a steal.

I got some cool Playstation games in the mail.

>>4870284
I wonder if I will like it, I always prefer digital input, but this thing looks just too much fun.

>>4870290
Also bought some fun racing games for it.

>>4870293
Got some stuff for my block puzzle game collection.

Got a copy of Toxic Crusaders and Ducktales 2 for 5 bucks at a garage sale.

>>4870296
Haven't tried this one, but it looks like puyo puyo with some energy bar gimmicks.

>>4868283
One of my buddies sold all his N64 games and the console a few years ago for 20 bucks, he had the basics but he sold Conkers Bad Fur Day with it.

>>4870301
An obscure monster raising / block puzzle game. Bought it mainly for the cute artwork.

>>4870284
That Coco is the same Coco that streams on twitch?

>>4870304
Next are miscellaneous arcadey games.

>>4870310
>streams on twitch

>>4870315
Kaiju shooting game.

>>4870324
Some futuristic human racing (looks very fun).

>>4849770
Haven't bought anything retro related in several years, but I recently emulated Earthbound and it was one of the best games I've ever played

I wanted to get a physical copy just to have because I really value the experience I had, and getting Earthbound was out of the question, so I bought this off of Yahoo auctions for like 20 bucks after international shipping from Japan

>>4870329
And last but not least, the crown jewel of this games pick up and the most expensive game of the bunch.

>>4870315

HD Retrovision sells a new high quality component PS2/3 cable for 29. Not really cheaper than getting a used OEM one though.

Nothing super amazing or expensive, paid $100 for 7 bins of games and systems. Most expensive in the lot is Galaxy Fight, but i was happy as fuck to get Saturn games after not seeing any for years.

>>4871808
Oh yeah, best part is, the person who had them said that was only 1/3 of what they could get to. They had a total of like 30 bins of stuff.

>>4871808
You should really get some shelves for that shit.

>>4871808
>
lemme get that saturn

>tfw no millenials/genZ selling their dead boomer/genX parents' shit for peanuts

>>4872164
Im selling a lot of it, bought it for like maybe 10 games and the saturn. Has like 5 saturn controllers, which is strange.

>>4872182
Sorry.

Been out of the collecting scene for a while. Are prices becoming more reasonable again?

>>4861471
Shii I'm jealous anon, I want a TG-16 so bad but its getting far too expensive.

>>4872328
>Im selling a lot of it

>>4872328
Where are you selling?

>>4872517
Idk yet. Still testing stuff to see what works.
Saturn works great.

What's the best way to buy consoles? Seems like everything online is like $7000 with no cables or controllers, or broken (and still like $200).

>>4872328
5 controllers isn't strange for a saturn

nes classic and:

ninja gaiden - nes
blaster master - nes
sf2 revival - gba
parappa ps1
psycho pinball - gen
DKC returns - wii
vanguard - 2600
star wars kotor - pc

and:
wipeout - ps1
ultra sf4 - pc

>>4872330
haha, no
they're just getting worse

>>4872732
just be patient and look on offerup of cl. which console are you looking for? less people care about sega so sometimes you can get a genesis for super cheap

>>4868927
>estate sales

I wish I could have luck at these for once. I almost always just run into trash I don't want, or third party garbage like controllers with auto-fire.

Picked up an Ice Blue Gameboy Pocket and a Gameboy Light (the Japanese GB with a backlight) for $30. Haven't found anything else worthwhile in so long it hurts.

>>4875051
I know how it is, I go to estate sales all of the time and see worthwhile electronics at maybe 10% of them and that's after I've dug through listings. It's lucky I buy a bunch of other shit so I can find something for me at most sales otherwise I wouldn't go to them. Surprisingly old computers are often overlooked, so I need to make sure to look for retro pc games here on out.

>>4871808
I am extremely happy for you anon

>>4873453
In my area offerup is infested with flippers and I assume any good listings get snatched up by them

>>4868709
Lots, any mech/gundam game, kuttu ketto, all fighting games, segata sanshiros game, rpgs are good. Then theres the basics from v's recc. Like albert odyssey, nights, dragon force, lunar, dark savior. Also theres a youtube channel that has every episode of sega saturn video magazine. Theres quite a bit to search through.

Been awhile since I bothered with CPS2 games. Still have a few more to get, sadly prices seem to be worse than I remember them being years ago.
