/vr/ - Retro Games

Nice. I just picked up a copy of Stadium Events at a garage sale over the weekend. pic related is the picture I took

Vectrex is the master race.
Some day some one will find Mr Boston Clean Sweep somewhere among the carboot sales and charity stores.
Won't be me though.

lel that's just op's pic cropped.

>>695968
OP here
Thats totally not my pic cropped. That is clearly legit.

>>695907
my mom bought me that game form my birthday since I liked the track and field game. But she didnt get the mat required to play so I ended up trading it it for some other game I dont remember.

i thought i would never find these in canada since it's such slim pickings but I managed to get both this weekend.

Holy shit this is my favorite SNES game. I've been looking for it forever man. You're one lucky sonofabitch.

One day, it will be mine.

Fucking this

It pains me every time too because I own Legends 1 and 2. Even own 64 and the Dash PSP ports

But for some reason as a kid I only rented Tron Bonne, almost came close to buying but I never did

Fuck the prices on this game

I would pay 40-60 at most

>>696198
Fuck the group of people who intentionally drew the prices up for this game, I just want a chance of playing it the way it was meant to be played.

>>696198
>>696210
I have a copy. Got it for 10 dolla many years ago.
I'm considering selling it.

>>696210

Yeah, I mean I am a collectfag but I don't mind the emulation here and there

What sucks most is this game emulates terribly

>>696216
Nice
where are you from, would something between 40-60 scratch your fancy or were you gonna try and sell it for "market value"

>>696210

Also the people who drove it up were probably Legends fans who got mega (heh) butthurt about Legends 3 being cancelled. So they went full Earthbound tier and decided raising the price on the games they love is the logical thing to do

I mean I was sad as shit when MML3 got cancelled but my first reaction is not to go jack up prices

>>696220
I would go for as much as I could get for it, which could easily be well over 100. If I didn't need to buy a vehicle because my Blazer is too expensive to fix I wouldn't sell it in the first place. Too many fond memories.

>>696226
Tron Bonne was already stupidly expensive long before the Legends 3 announcement.

>>696272

No worries. I understand

>>696280

Ehh it wasn't as bad as it is now

100$ or more for any game that's not panzer dragoon saga or stadium events or something legitimately rare and hard to find is ridiculous in my opinion

>>696272
>buying a Blazer at all

You disgust me. I will have /o/ send a lynching party.

>>696434
Don't you talk shit about my Blazer, you ass. It's been in the family since 1995, and I've been driving it since 2005.
Though I'm on the verge of selling it. The transmission is completely shot and it would be cheaper to buy a new car than fix it.

Plus the gas mileage is horrendous.

This. At my local game store I'm told they have it priced at $7.99, so clearly they don't know of its rarity or awesomeness. I just know that when they day come I hand over $100 to pick up this gem it's going to come into the store...

>>696297
> panzer dragoon saga
> legitimately rare
Psh, so what are those 4 or 5 that show up in every collector thread?

(PC version btw)

I bought this back in 96 or 97 and had it for YEARS, until.... something happened to it. I didn't sell it, but i've torn the house apart looking for it. It's fucking gone.

I'll never own it again, not in the original box and everything. Game is just too rare. Literally years go by on ebay without it showing up.

(and no, I don't want the Euro version... I don't think it was uncut)

>>696604
The PC versions of RE1 and 2 are very rare, especially the european releases.

I used to have RE2 CIB on PC but my mom trashed it when I still lived there (it could have been sold for at least 50 bucks at the time already). I know I'll never get it again.

A few years back I bought RE3 for PC CIB and unopened for quite cheap though.

as a side note if you're a fan of RE1 and 2 for PC check those mods:

>>696653
The american version is faaaaaar more rare. A good trick to use is going to ebay and searching "Resident Evil PC", then go to the "sold" tab.

Pretty good amount of European boxes have been sold over the last 6 months. Not a single American version.

Also the Euro version didn't come with that absolutely bitchin' sticker proudly proclaiming it's the real uncut version (and it was! Full color opening, Chris smokes, Kenneths head is ripped off)

>>696573
It is legitimately somewhat rare. Not Stadium Events rare, but they only produced something like 60 thousand copies.

>>696683
Correction, 30 thousand copies.

>>696683
And Tron Bonne officially sold 70k copies. The main difference is that Tron used to be much cheaper, so more people have it one way or another.

>>696691
It's close to 40k, i think, 6k first run and two 15k reprints or something like that. Not that the specifics matter.

Rarest SNES game

>>696674
the euro PC version was uncut as well IIRC

might be wrong though

>>696705
I've literally never seen this before

>>696748
That's cause it's rare as shit!

>>696759
Oh, I see

>>695936
what is this supposed to be

>>696604
Hory shet, I remember the PC version being about 10 quid in HMV about 12 years ago. I should have snapped it up.

>>696604

I really want to own English copies of all of Quintet's games for SNES at some point mostly because of how much they influenced me as a child even though I never owned any of them (played them at various friends' house). Seriously, it's probably my only retro game collecting goal. I'm far from financially stable enough to so now though and they seem to only rise in price linearly with time (especially Terranigma). It's nice to have dreams I guess.

>>695936
woah woah, the vectrex had a chimney sweep game? thats fucking awesome uk.

>>696705
holly crap.
i remember that thing, my hospital had it hooked up to a bike or something. like you used the bike to pedal and it somehow made speed racer go fast.

wonder if they still have it.

>>696836

WHERE DA BOX

>>696836
Thought I made it pretty clear I was talking about a version of the game that comes with the big box.

I see the CD pretty often, actually. It's the big box with that awesome sticker that's hard as fuck to find.

(Glad you're looking out for me though, man. Legit appreciate you taking the time just then)

>>696942
Oh, my bad.
Still, that sucks.

>>696804
>>696871
Clean sweep is a Pac-Man clone for Vectrex. Set in a bank that burglars have broken in and cut the lights of, the player must use their vacuum cleaner to suck up cash and deposit it in the vault (an area in the center of the screen similar to where the ghosts spawn in Pac-Man)
Successful deposits increase your points score but you can only carry so much cash at a time in the vacuum. You will lose a life and any cash you've collected if one of the burglars catches you.

The liquor company Mr. Boston gave out a limited number of customized cartridges of Clean Sweep. The box had a Mr. Boston sticker on it. The overlay was basically the regular Clean Sweep overlay with the Mr. Boston name, logo, and copyright info running up either side. The game itself had custom text, and the player controlled a top hat rather than a vacuum.

There are said to be anywhere from three to five copies in existence today so the game is very rare and highly collectible. Prices are anywhere between $5000-$10,000.

>>696554
and they pull you the "Lemme Check Egay"

>>696969
damn, now i want a chimney sweep game for the vectrex. get to it, uk, im waiting...

>>695907
I fucking have that game...somewhere....

I want a copy of Magical Chase for the TurboGrafx-16 more than anything. There is a sealed copy on half.com but I'd feel kind of silly dropping $5,000 on a game I'll never be able to open or play.

I'm a huge GB guy, recently acquired one of my white whales. Trip World PAL for GB is damned near impossible to find, threw a copy of Singer Izek GBC and a Primal Rage proto in the pic just to make everyone salivate a bit, lol.

Right now, I'd trade my left nut for an NIV Bible CIB.

>>696705
That's not Super Copa.

>>698410
>Sewing Machine Operation Software
>Sewing Machine
>Gameboy
>Sewing
what is that

>>698448
It's one of the most retarded strategies ever conceived to attract a new audience to gaming. In the early 2000s, Nintendo had a shitload of dead-stock GBCs and decided to parter up with Singer (sewing machine manufacturer) and Natsume to develop a system where you could use the gameboy color to operate their sewing machines. Obviously, this shit didn't work well, they sold really poorly, and now the cart included with the sewing machine add-on is mega rare and expensive.

Took me ages to find that copy...

Wait.

Is this the game with the mat? And you run on it?

Oh God.

OH GOD.
THIS GAME? MY MOTHER THREW IT OUT YEARS AGO BECAUSE I BROKE THE NES LICKING THE POWER CORD.

Oh god. I am so broke right now. ;_;

>>698474
>LICKING THE POWER CORD
Are you retarded? Why were you licking the power cord?

I have a sealed copy of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Was a gift won in an eBay auction with a couple Legends gashapon figures, but the picture that was shown wasn't sealed. When I received it and saw that sacred plastic wrap, I was very conflicted. Do I open this and drop its value instantaneously or what? Lol, the silly world of collecting...man, oh, man.

Funny thing though, I actually remember seeing it in a bargain bin at a local video store, "Video News", back in the day. I don't know why I didn't get it...but I do remember getting Mega Man 7 and X3 for bargain prices there before.

>>698474
It could have just been World Class Track Meet.

>>698474
chill out, you probably didn't have the family fun version

>>698481
No, I was about 3.

>>698492
Oh God, I hope so. I'd hate for something so rare to be destroyed.

i have that op
Whats its value?

>>698537
$5, but I'll give you like $10 for your trouble if you send it to me w/ overnight shipping.

>>698550
Haha real funny
I actually have this and the mat to run on

what do
its not sealed but its CIB, I was a good kid.
its not that fun so I'd be glad to sell it, where do I sell it? ebay? amazon?

>>698571
>nope you have world class track meet

nice try


pic w/ timestampotherwise

>>698580
>checked it
>it is world class track meet
FUUUUUCK YOU NINTENDO
WHAT THE FUCK
I OWN THE RARE GAME, BUT I DONT
I-i mean its the same rom inside but different name
is it still worth jack shit

>>698585
you can get five dolla for it.

>>698585
>world class track meet
50 cents on amazon.

>>698585
I'm sorry, but my $10 offer is off the table.

>>698591
>>698592
>>698598
Can you explain why my copy is worth jack shit, but OPs is worth a car? They are the same game, different title screen

>>698623
infact the cover bart is the same!

>>698623

Because you touch yourself at night.

>>698623
Because there aren't many copies in existence, and people with too much money are willing to pay that much.

>>698637
>cover bart

>>695992
can't blame ya. who the fuck ever thought that game would ever go for that much....it isn't even any good

Not nearly an impossible find, but I'm crossing my fingers for Paper Mario whenever I go out.

I recall loving it when I rented it back in 2001. I never got a chance to play it again after that.

It's going to be a hard find since pretty much every Mario title in my area is in the hands of resellers.

>>698652

Panzer Dragoon Saga
Daytona USA Netlink Edition
Lucienne's Quest
Bomberman II for the NES

I can't find a copy of Lode Runner nes ANYWHERE

>>696170
Yeah that dude is pretty swag, but we're here to talk video games man.

>>695997
>eb
