/vr/ - Retro Games

>>867078
You should go buy that just to record the guy selling it. I can just hear his Philadelphia accent now.

That is amazing.

what are some good search terms to use to find people who don't know what they're selling?

>>868048

RARE!!!

I think you can plug it into an Atari 2600 and that is the reason why he's calling it a 70's game part from the 90's

this image goes completely blank when I open it in a seperate tab, wtf

>>868060
that's more ebay than craigslist though

>>868060
I copy and pasted what you wrote, this was the first result.

first listing with "rare'. wants 180 for all of them.

>>868781
>wrong photo jesus look at the thumbnail sometime faggot.

>>868773
>that screwed up wording
>1500 hoping you would think he/she meant $1500 rather than $15.00
>I have a kid on the way
>thanks Brian
lolwut

>>868773
>have a kid on the way

Wouldn't that kid love to have these?

>>868798
no, because they aren't mordern enough, only the best for my kid thanks brian

>>868787
I'm not an expert when it comes to PS1, but wouldn't the FF games somewhat justify 180? Especially Tactics. Although I agree they are not rare.

>>868810
fuck no
you are complete and utter idiot

what?

Based Atlanta at it again:

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/vgm/3868475852.html

>>868840
AVGN is from Philly. He has the accent pretty thick, much as he tries to hide it in his videos (Not pronouncing water like "wooder", Mario "Marryo", etc.)

>>868814
No I'm not an idiot, I just admitted I didn't know the prices for PS1 games. I thought FF games were like 50 bucks or something. But I guess admitting my ignorance makes me stupid.

>>868820
that's probably about right actually

http://columbus.craigslist.org/vgm/3912214773.html
Shiiit. I might actually want this if I trusted Craigslist.

>>868860
not knowing prices for PS1 games and thinking that some of the most common games ever made would be worth $50 are two completely different things, and the later is pretty close to being total retardation

>>868860
No, they sometimes can be just because people like yourself that think that because the name and the popularity. The reality is that they are pretty common.

>>868863
>gamecube
>retro
nope

also, what happened here, is /vr/ to lazy to take screen shots now? wtf

>>868861
it is. i posted it about a month ago

I don't trust craigslist but if someone is in the area this seems like a good deal.

It's also CIB. I don't see the problem here

>>868901
>>868905
You can only do the jtag reset glitch with earlier x360 models, hence the high price. Still not worth it, of course.

>>868947
I never used craiglist. How accurate is this?

>>869171
85%

>>869178
Does anyone have personnal stories to share?

>>869183

Only Craigslist experience I have is trying to sell a PS3 and getting literally nothing but black dudes calling at 2 AM, trying to get me to go downtown right them and meet them in dark parking lots and behind liquor stores. I shit you not, every call wanted me to head to a shitty area in the ghetto past midnight. Whenever I told them I wanted to meet them in a public place during the day time (like inside the mall at the food court) they would get off the phone as quickly as they could.

I wasn't even mad about it. It was just hilarious that they would be so blatant.

>>869215
Should've told them that you would meet them there so that they would waste their time

>>869215
Should've accepted, and brought the police.

>>868812

I post this in every craigslist thread i see

>>868826
now why would anyone want to do that

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/vgm/3909030374.html

this imbecile thinks you rescue Zelda in Donkey Kong.

>>869183
Sold some stuff in Denver. Really nice experience. It was however during a fucking snow storm so make sure you are prepared to leave the house if you sale vidya in Denver.

Sold all my 360 stuff to a dude bro and then a few hours later my wii to a nice indian family. I had them both meet me in the parking lot of a grocery store.

The weather was the most exciting thing about the transactions. Maybe its different with retro items idk my bff jill

>>869279
He wants 10k for each console? Is he retarded?

Cool that he has the 3D glasses, but I don't think it's worth that much?

>>869487
No, dumbass. Read it again. He wants $10000 for *all* of it.
Gosh!

This is frankly disgusting.
Fucking 80s retro bubble.

>>868826
AVGN is from south jersey.
As someone who has lived in philly my entire life, they don't talk like us at all.

Also James is sorta a dick, and only wants to deal with you if you want to resell his stupid fucking dvds (and won't show up half the time, but he'll send mike to try to sell you dvds)

>>868860
FF7 can get up to $40 the rare will make you brick your pants PS1 games are things like Tales of Destiny

neat

>>869601
>Mario Party 7 $50

>>868901
>Guitar hero
Well that about sums it all up

We got a real winner here, folks.

All those games are great, and despite the condition (and objectively the worst SNES design ever), I'd consider $30, maybe $40 if it wasn't missing the hookups. But $80 without cables? Naw, fuck you.

Another good one near Nashville was a 60gb PS3 phat for $300, and a PS2 slim for $150.

>>868787

I wouldn't mind taking that Tekken 3, SOTN, and Tenchu off of that guy's hands IF they were reasonably priced.

This poor schmuck has been trying to sell this for months.

>>869823
that's not that outrageous. those are on par with anything you'd find on eBay.

>>869840
That's fitting, cause SNK couldn't sell em either.

>>869840
The problem here, is that finding the Neogeo 64 cabinet to run this thing on will be way harder.

we antique now.

the games in this listing are $1-$5 shit, too

anyone got the image of the 300 dollar nes with a filthy stain on it (i think there was a stack of games on it too next to the filth stain)?

>>869183
Not really /vr/, but I bought Super Mario 64 DS not too long ago, 15$ for the case, manual, and game,

Got it home and realized it was a bootleg cartridge...still works fine, but I just feel so dirty now...

>>869539
Up to forty dollars? I got it for four dollars (with all three discs, the manual, and case) in a thrift store. I didn't know what a deal I was getting!

>>870781
>for old games
normal old musicians used it too....

>>869539
ToD isn't that rare, it's just over priced on ebay because of weeaboos with too much money

>>871749
Isnt a working CD-i usually pretty expensive?

>>872061
yes... especially the 450 model
but even then you are talking like $200 at the most and the games themselves are really cheap

>>871985
>does not work
>$60

Should I? I want a Saturn, don't have any games for it atm though.

>>872448
Pic of controller

>>872448
>>872449

Skip the Model 1.

>>872458
How many models of saturn are there?

>>869241
They were probably loitering in those shitty places anyway, wouldn't waste their time at all.

>>872471
Majorly, just two. Bunch of revisions, though, like every other console.

>>872458
Why?

>>872480
Super shitty controller.

>>872484
Model 1 can't use a Model 2 controller?

>>869279
hahaha, it's probably because he get in over his head with a drug dealer or loan shark

>>869728
looks pretty cool and in good condition... I'd say he's underpricing actually. arcade cabs usually go for much more than that in good condition, especially ones from the pong era

>>869840
I've been trying to GIVE ONE AWAY for a few months and no one's taken me up on it.

>>870346
It's JAMMA. It draws like 10 amps on +5V, though, so you need a beefy power supply to run it (and an extra, super-thick cable just for more +5v and gnd).

>>872480

Really hard to chip.

And you WANT to chip your Saturn, if only to play the super expensive games.

>>872565
Same guy is selling this too

>>872569

Considering a mod chip costs ~$50, that's a pretty solid deal.

Also, it comes with two of the finest controllers over made, none of that crappy Model 1 stuff.

>>872584
>over made

*ever made

>>872584
Hah! I should gather up lots for Craigslist and make fake screenshots to dick with everyone as if I had actually posted them.

My Saturn would be MODDED, 4 IN 1 CART, MPEG CARD, SIX MODEL 2 CONTROLLERS, MULTITAP, VIRTUA STICK, 3D STICK, S-VIDEO CABLES. Har har har, have you seen the price of Saturn s-video cables?

But nah, I won't toy with people's emotions. Also I play my Saturn, so I'd never sell it.

No, I fucking hate people, and I want to take pictures of my collection as if they were CL ads, then post them to fuck with assholes at work. Any shithead whose phone number I get will never know peace.

I'm waiting for a response, but if I'm lucky I'll be picking up Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, the collector's edition of OoT, and Conker's Bad Fur Day, IN THE BOXES, for $3 fuckin' dollars each. If they pull through, I will literally cum buckets.

>>872737
I think you belong in a mental institution

>>869545
the design of both is horrid, gameplay wise (I will admit the gamecube one at least looks nice though) and not worth the price
neither would be very comfortable to hold and the "genisis" one the buttons are way too far up unless you have unusually huge hands. like the other guy said, you would be better off just buying a nomad

>>872792
I honestly hate those damn things, people shorten their lifespans for a novelty item.

>>872857
Well, they were on here:
http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=42403

But they got deleted.

Basically in order to make something small, some end up cutting the PCB to slim it down, usually removing 'non-crucial' components. As you might imagine, removing portions of the PCB isn't exactly healthy.

>>872868
>they were checked by a certified profesonal
There are certified retro video game professionals?

>>870665
>>869532
this certainly does need elaboration, if only because it sounds fucking hillarious

>>872868
The gray Zelda cart actually came second; it was the Classic Series reissue. It *is* rarer than the gold cart, but it's still not worth very much since people generally prefer the gold cart, and there are literally millions of copies of LoZ floating around.

>>872750
>canker's bad fur day

spoilering for non-retro, but I wanted to ask about this anyhow
I have been looking at wiis with intention to maybe buy for the reasons many here would buy one and I have seen a trend on my area's craigslist that baffles me. The normal white Wiis go for around 40 - 50 dollars, 60 - 80 with a bunch of games. Yet people are trying to sell the black ones for like $200 - $300. What is up with this? Are they actually rarer than the white ones?.. and even if they are, I can't imagine it would command such a high price. I don't plan on buying one of the black ones, in fact I like the way the white ones look better. But still, is there a logical explination for this thread or just stupid craigslisters thinking that since it's "different" it must be worth more?

>>873921
Black Wiis can't play Gamecube games.

>>873921
Stop that "spoiler for non-retro shit", it's like calling cancer "The big C".

Anyway, yes, the black ones are rather rare, but ultimately not worth that much. 80 or 90 at best.

>>873929
-New- Black Wiis can't. The Mario Kart bundle which came out around 2010 or so was the last of them that had Gamecube compatibility.

>>873930
>rare
>newest model and still being sold in retail
pick one
also, I've found that spoilering non-retro stuff actually does prevent the whole "not retro gtfo" shitfests... well until people like you show up.

>>872750
The guy at my flea market was asking $120 for Cankers bad Fur Day.

>>873931
the ones I've been seeing on craigslist commanding the rediculously high price are said to be new. The Mario Kart bundle ones (or I am assuming they are, since they have the wheel add on thing and Mario Kart, usually along with other games) seem to be going for around $100
I guess there really is no logical explanation for this, just craigslisters trying to make a quick buck off of ignorant people again I guess.

>>872750
>Super Star Wars
>N64
surprised that I'm the first person to notice this
but I guess everyone was too distracted by Canker's Bad Fur Day.

>xbox 360
>original xbox only $60!
>xbox 360 backups ($10)
>nintendo 3ds $120

I think that furniture set is actually pretty slick. But why two at different ends at the country? Are they mass produced?

If I didn't have a Saturn, I'd say this wasn't too bad a deal; I'm sure the person could be talked down to 80.

>>873994
it's the same pics, so I don't think so. Maybe he's got a friend that's willing to sell it for him. That would explain the price increase as well.

>>874008

Try 20.

Superman 64 AND a shitty third party controller? How can I resist?

Hmm...

>>874141

Those colored N64s usually go for at least $50 - $60 just by themselves, and $100+ with the box. The watermelon is way less common. The jungle green one is definitely the most common. That one even has the little door to the expansion pak slot, which is notoriously commonly missing because kids are fucking retards. I'd say this is an OK buy.

>>874141
The Superpad 64 is actually a really good controller.

Too bad it doesn't have the original artwork.

>>874173
I find that very hard to believe. It's a monstrosity!

>>874201
>German Village
Columbus, Ohio?

>>874220
So is the N64 controller, but it's still comfortable.

The only thing I didn't like about the Superpad was the Z button, it felt a bit blocky.

>>868773
Who is Brian? The one who put up the ad or the one who knocked her up?

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/vgm/3916153449.html

What's that Atari system?

>>874861
It appears to be the Atari XEGS.

>>874793
Pawnshops have been doing that for years, not all but a lot. More for single high priced items like consoles, rifles, computers, guitars and things like that. It's becoming ridiculous though when some jerk thinks his non working "rare"Saturn game is worth 40 bucks and a shop sees dollar signs

>>874793
It's a large database of most things imaginable with recent prices set by people who wanted to buy whatever item of interest.

Problem I would assume is people see zero in on the one anomalous auction that ended unusually high and take that as the absolute worth. Whether or not their own item matches what was sold. (new/used/missing parts/pulled from a manure pile)

>>874152

That's a steal.

>>874152
What the fuck that's incredible!

>>874643
I'm probably the only person that actually loves how disgustingly dirty it is, lol

>>874934
>with recent prices set by people who wanted to buy whatever item of interest.
have you not been on ebay in a long time or something. Most sellers just set buy it now prices, not many bother with actual auctions.

>no mature rated games at all
>on a console were most of the games came out before the rating system

>>874165

You look at completed listings for an item's value.

It makes no difference if it was an auction or a BIN.

>>874201
wouldn't it be easy enough to make replicas of the original artwork
though my question is why the hell they did that in the first place.

>>871985

>>875978
yeah, because people don't set up dummy accounts or have their friends "buy" it. This has been a common method of making albums look like they are worth more than they are. Not sure way crooked game re-sellers wouldn't do the same thing.

What would be a good price for the NES, SNES, and N64 sets separately (by good price, I mean by /vr/ standards)?

>>876126
The NES lot for $60, max $70.
The SNES for $75, max $85
The N64 for $90, max $100.

>>881069
HAHAHA! Whoever buys that is a fucking tool! Most game stores will sell you a second hand PS2 for about $30, $150 is a ridiculous price, there are so many of them in circulation that they are worth barely anything.

>do search
>least overpriced thing is $5 sports games

>>868810
You've got about 70-90 FMV if those are all complete. Nowhere near 180.

>>882341
It says it comes with games, so I can see it maybe being worth $150 but it had better come with some pricey games.

Buy that shit.

Also, Comic Sans? Really?

chances this is a troll?
150%?

>>872565
Actually the model 1 is the easiest to chip with the modchip made by Sega Style. One wire to solder, the rest is plugging in ribbon cables.

I love how he posts that charging you $25 is like a great favor.

The man is a goddamn humanitarian! Someone nearby punch him in the face.

>>882463
Not retro but whatever. He wants $200 for it.

>>882463

A guy here just posted one for an Atari 5600. He wants $175

Maybe I'm crazy, but I would never pay $150 for Megaman 7 (or nearly any game).

people sure love using the word rare

>>882518
everything is copywrite Jax

>>882398

I would of jumped on that shit instantly just for the off chance it was legit.

>>882567
What?

>>882416
well... in that case I guess it isn't that big of a deal then, comic sans fits craigslist in a way

>>882518
$150 is pretty decent for that condition, if you really wanted it. inb4 a fake

>>869601
Eternal Darkness is reasonably priced here, some faggots sell it for 200 and up.

>>882594

$200? Is that sealed?

I got it for $42 with free shopping off eBay about a month ago. Very Good condition. Looks practically new, but opened of course.

>>882581
it's an ancient 4chan meme after some furry artist named Jax started whining that his artwork was being posted on /b/... and by ancient I mean like 2005 or earlier... was hoping some one would get it ;-;

Oh. I didn't get the reference, but don't be discouraged anon. Someone will surely pick up on it.

I also learned of a store that literally opened today that's gonna sell current and retro games that's an hour away from my town.

Gonna have to go hit them up and see if they have okay prices.

Worst one i have seen in a while

>>882518
All these fags just search for the game on ebay and assume it goes for the price those ebay shops list for complete in box factory sealed copies (which stay listed for years because nobody pays the ridiculous amounts they ask for)

>>879373

>>872458
That is Model 1...

>>872569
wow, that actually a great deal. If I didn't have a setup like that already, I'd totally buy it from him.

>>869215
thats why i would never sell to a black.

>>869279
LOL i like how he is pointing at the systems as if we couldnt tell what he's selling from the description.

>>869601
Why the FUCK are gamecube games so goddamn expensive?

In my area, I see shit like

>$30 for Mario Sunshine
>$50 for Metroid
>Obscenely high price for eternal darkness

WTF gives? the gamecube was second place of the sixth gen, and these games were fucking bestsellers

>>869840
It's kinda funny how a fucking PHONE today can easily run 2D arcade games that needed beefy as fuck hardware that had to draw all this power just to turn on.

Actually, a working set of the glasses alone could sell for $100-$150 if they're official.
But then, you could get a cheap pair of cheap shutter glasses with a 3.5" jack and be all good for $15.

>>869215

Personally, I was recently looking for a room to rent as I'm trying to relocate to a new city, and it's hard to do when you don't have a place to crash. I'd say roughly half of the ads were basically asking for slave girls. Not even being subtle about it.

On the bright side, most of those were rent free. Most of them.

>>869279

Huh, looks like he has some kind of weird grips on the NES controllers. Not a bad idea.

Bro will install MAME on any HDD for $80. What a deal.

>>869215
Reminds me of when a rottweiler followed my mom into a doctor's office many years ago. We tried to find her owner by putting an ad in the paper. But everyone that called was just looking for a free rottweiler. Basically a bunch of ghetto guys who didn't even know whether the dog was male or female (we didn't give that out in the ad) and didn't know how old the dog was (about 6 months). All kinds of weirdos wanted us to drop her off in their garages or backyards. So we ended up keeping her.

Anyway, I've never bought anything off of Craig's List. I've used Amazon plenty of times and Ebay once. It's always funny when I see game stuff that's in bad condition or missing components being sold for way more than complete items in good condition.

>>869358
You live in Denver? Where do you get your retro games if I may ask? I can't find any stores or decent sales anywhere in the area.

>look for ridiculous ads
>see this
s-should I?

Look at all these rare games!

>>883384
yes

>>883398
The only one worth more then maybe $10 is the promotional one, I would buy that for maybe $20.

I sincerely hope that person was joking when they posted that.

>literally the worst arcade sticks ever invented
>putting them into a mame cab

I contact that dude, he's just feeling out people and doesn't actually have any of that.

Twelve games you say? .. oh, nevermind.

>>883480
Well, THPS, Waverace and Revenge are goodies, also is that an expansion pack i see?

>>883518
No that's the sticker on the standard jumper pak.

>>882518
i hate guys that can't set games down. I don't want to see their finger nails.

>>883304
I think that is black sharpie, if we are looking at the same one.

>>883573
Nah, they definitely have some grips on 'em. The listing is confirmed henceforth for being worth $10,000. See, they're "rare" grips.

>>883424
Ok they are for sure not worth 450 but 10 for wind waker and twilight princess is pretty low. A fair price for everyone would be 20 for ww and about 30-40 for the others.

>>883581
guess you are right, didn't look closely enough. Maybe that is worth 10,000....

>>883398
>Player's Choice on Wind Waker

>>874643
So I read your post and got an idea. Maybe I'll get an old beater cabinet to make into a mamecade.

So I go on craigslist and search for arcade cabinets.

And I find this.

I don't think I'll ever have sides again.

I must live in the worst place in the world.

Every sunday I check out the car boots. There's a million copies of Sonic for the megadrive and they're always stupid money, like £15 each.
Tried to buy a broken game gear but the woman said she wouldn't part for less than £40 for it 'since they don't make them anymore'.

The black label version could go up to $100 or more at one point. The PSN release made it fall considerably though.

That feel when the only thing you search up on craigslist is "t4m"

Someone in the town next to mine is selling Final Fantasy VII black label for 40 bucks.

For 50 bucks, he's selling both VII and VIII, but I already own VIII... Hmm...

>>886269

Talk him down to $75 for everything.

Uh oh.

>>886242
Like $5

>>869727

Panic Restaurant is 300 dollars.

>>886398

Go buy the lot from the dude, except Panic Restaurant. Pay $50. On your way out, tell him the value (or show him on your phone) and he might even give you everything except Panic Restaurant for free. Let him keep it and make bank.

>>886406
I called the phone number earlier, but they're not picking up. I want to inform him the value of his game. His voicemail box is full, no doubt from other collectors/resellers, and I'm sure Manhattan is full of them. I just want to tell him before he makes a mistake. Gonna try again in the morning.

>>889543
Hit him with an ACTA/DMCA notice.

I live in Calgary. Basically these means that you can't buy anything used because everybody thinks that everything in their garage is made out of 24 karat gold and they price it more expensive than new usually which makes no sense. I doubt anybody sells anything used here.

Alright guy I lowered the price, I was hoping to be a Jew and get a shit ton because times are tough. I figured it would be worth a little more considering the original documentation and original cables.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251299008397

The games he has with it are super mario world, dkc 2 diddys kong quest, lion king, aero the acrobat, and two NES games Little Nemo the Dream Master and Mickey's Mousecapade.
I've never tried playing anything but the first two, but I talked him down to $30. I could use an extra nes and snes controller, even if its an offbrand. Retron 2 seems decent

I have no idea what Intellivision prices are.

>>892193
Skimming completed ebay auctions, seems the only time they go for that much is if the games come with boxes. Similar sets (without manuals) seem to go for half as much.

Though consider you're getting all that in one motion, and don't have to pay for shipping which could easily be $20-$30 for that as a set; or much more if bought in pieces.

>>889584
fellow calgaryfag. I know that feel. people here are FUCKING RETARDED when it comes to pricing retro vidya.

>look up local craigslist

>People selling their Xbox/PS3/Wii

http://chambersburg.craigslist.org/vgm/3841707120.html
He wants $1000 for the lot. All I want is a fucking SNES

i have a weird feeling this thing is broken and they know it

>what would you offer for this assuming it's legit not been opened and works?

>>893813
$2.58, which is what I have on my desk at the moment, unless I missed a couple pennies somewhere. The Neo Geo X is a piece of shit compared to an actual Neo Geo, or even a goddamn Neo Geo emulator on a handheld game system, or a Chinese emulator handheld.

Stuart Ashen's review of it was the biggest nail in the coffin.

>>892482
Look how awfully discolored that SNES is.

>>893858
honestly i'm one of those guys who has only played metal slug on emulator so I has no idea what i'm doing when browsing for neo geo stuff.

thanks mon

not craigslist but I want to alert you folk to the fact that there is someone selling official saturn usb controllers for 7.29 and free shipping, dig around for it.

I can't wait to get that shit and play some shmups HNNNNG

>>885710
At least you can find retro stuff at bootsales. Last time I went to one there were hundreds of stalls but less than 20 PS1 games and nothing cartridge based. Just hundreds of xbox and PS2 games and I either owned them all or they were shit.

>>893904
WARNING! Cheap Saturn USB pads are SHIT. Only buy the ones that have the Sega logo on the connector.

>>893975
the ones with the play sega on them are official sega controllers that they gave out with a subscription to PlaySEGA

>>893982
They are semi official, but nothing like the original Sega made USB pads from years back with the SLS label on the back. Those PlaySega pads are essentially bootlegs with the Sega logo slapped on. They are complete shit. Avoid.

>>876007
And end up getting stuck with the fees? Not worth it. Also if the same seller relists an identical item he already "sold" he's gonna get flagged.

>>870630

Doesn't include the sensor thing that makes it kind of work sometimes

>>869215
>try to sell on Craigslist
>nothing but blacks pulling exactly that same shit
>quickly learn that " 'AY YO, LEMME CALL YA BACK" is Ebonics for "I'm not calling you back"

I got Out of This World, Uniracers and Gooftroop last time I went to my local game shop. All for SNES of course. Cost $15.

>>895475
Looks like the small version. I have one. Feels bad. I originally owned the LARGE version, so it fit perfectly. I need to sell mine and buy another.

SMS + 2 controllers + light gun + 3 games (including Astro Warrior) all for $35.

Should I?

>>895712
That's not a bad price at all. If I didn't have a Master System, I'd buy that lot at that price without thinking twice.

Oh god wat

How good of a deal would this actually be though? I'm genuinely curious. I'm not very knowledgeable on pricing, especially for sega CD games

>>897456
That would sadly be a good deal, but remember that the Sega CD has no copy protection.

Having loose Sega CD games will put a bottomless hole in your heart. You will never be able to acquire loose inserts and manuals through anything but sheer luck, and Sega CD cases are as sturdy and common as unicorn farts.

Thank fuck for the Cover Project.
http://www.thecoverproject.net/

Being able to put my Sega CD, Saturn, and 3DO games in clear DVD cases is a very nice substitute.

>>897469
Since it has no copy protection, theoretically speaking, could one burn games for it and play them as easily as the Dreamcast? my retro vidya collection has been put on hold for awhile (trying to save money for college) but my next purchase was going to be a Sega CD so I'm just curious.

>>897456
Finally something that's on my list. I would offer him $30 for it and be pumped if he took it.

>>897456
Wait are these three games and disc only? I already have Vay and Lunar.

>>897485
