/vr/ - Retro Games

recently i discovered that i will never own a copy of magical chase for the turbo grafx 16

here is an example of how scary the price can be:

Feels bad man...

Monster World IV.

I might be willing to spend the money on it someday though. I just don't have a job at the moment.

Megaman 8 for Saturn. I have X4 but won't be able to complete the set. I like Megaman 8 but it's not worth over a hundred bucks especially since the PS1 versions goes for like 10-15 easy

No hardmode?

I want the combination Speed Racer/Exertainment Mountain Bike cart for the Super Nintendo. It's the rarest Super Nintendo game.

Little Samson ;__;

feels bad man

for the same price you could get a turbo grafx 16, bonk's adventure, bonk's revenge, and maybe have enough left over for bonk 3 : bonk's big adventure

>>894981
this is literally what i was going to say.

also panic restaurant

>>894983

I used to own this game. My sister threw it out. Had the box and everything.

Honestly I wasn't too pissed off about it back then, I thought the game was kinda shitty compared to Megaman and Mario anyway. But damn I look back and regret now

>>894987
I've played both versions (NES version through emulation sadly) and I have to say I actually prefer the NES port (the controls feel smoother to me)
I already own all 3 bonks for my turbo duo, along with Super Bonk for the SNES, but I'd love to have NES Bonk to complete my collection :(

why

>>895008
maybe you should... give her a BONK on the head

>>895021

There's a cart only copy being sold at a local retro store in my city. The label is almost entirely ripped off. They want $160.

>>894953
for those who didn't feel like cliking the link, scary isn't it?

>>895015
complete your collection? nigga you're forgetting about super bonk 2 on the superfamicom, and those 3 bonk games for game boy

I have them all in rom form because I ain't autistic about owning chunks of plastic

dicing knight.

>>895049
or the gamecube game?

MUSHA
Rescue Rangers 2

Pretty much anything that comes in a cartridge...I'm not very passionate about my collecting.

>>895021
It's funny; the first time I read about the SNES Harvest Moon was in GamePro in their Japan Games section.

They gave it a rating of, like, 2.5-1.5, because they said that it was boring as piss and was no fun at all.

can't emulate either

>>895117
thanks anon, I'll look into it when I get a PC

One day.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (deluxe box)

And maybe GleyLancer

>>895154
Hikaru is best girl.

>$1,634.00 new
>$485.00 used

I want it

>>895171
why would a reproduction cost so much? they just gut a sports game to make it.

>>895168
I dissagree!

EVO.

Non-retro: Cubivore

>>895171
I'd like to get a repro, but the music is my favorite part about this game and the NTSC version butchers it.

>Little Samson
>goes for $500 on ebay
>a few years back it went for $70 and that was too much for me

Fuck.

SNES games. Any of them. They're all going for way too much. That's why I bought a flash cart.

I used to have a factory sealed copy and I sold it for a measly $30. feelsbadman

not so old but it was my childhood and ive seen a price for it all the way up to $150

My uncle offered it to me for 10 Euros when I was younger and I declined, even though this is one of my favorite games...today it's about 70 euros on ebay.

>>895618
I got it complete in box a year or two ago for about $15 dollars at Gamestop.

>>895186
Because reproduction carts are a Gimmick

>>895618

Luigi's Mansion goes for ~$25 on ebay dude.

>>895618

For a sealed one, maybe. The ones I see on ebay right now aren't too expensive.

>>895371
Try getting a job

>>895673

Surely you know sage does nothing on /vr/.

>>894943
Effin' Shantae...

Not to expensive to but just more on principle issues here:
>goes for $70+ complete on the Sega Saturn
>goes for $50+ complete on the PS
Why is this so expensive?
UMK3 and all before it are lucky to even get as high as $30

I already own Earthbound. I would like an original cart of Chrono Trigger or Shantae. Mabye the nes version of Bonk's Adventure. Also fucking Action 52 for the lulz. Too bad I'm too poor for this shit.

>>894943

i would have said panic restaurant, but i already own it

E.V.O. the search for Eden

Any original game.

>>895735
It goes for $10 on the PS one ebay

Everything more than $5.

Demons Crest

I'm not really a game collector, but I've been contemplating getting this for my controller collection for quite some time now, always coming to the conclusion that it's just too damn expensive.

Triad Stone for Laseractive

>>895079
they're right, as a game it fails. as a watching paint dry sim, it exceeds.

yup.

The super Nintendo version

Fucking MUSHA.

Great game, very fun, so I understand why the price tag is up there. But, come on, other greats like thunderforce 4 cost fucking nothing.

>>896829
Musha is not a great game, nor is it very fun. It's mediocre as fuck, and quite possibly the most overrated game of all time.

>>896846
It's fun to hate what's popular.

>>894953
You can always get the japanese version instead, it's much cheaper.

This and the original Persona.

I love this game, but the price is absolutely insane.

>>896858
It's fun to dismiss opposing views.

>>896892
>last time it was 300 euros on amazon

jesus fuck

>>896918
It would've been a valid criticism if you weren't just full of shit.

Probably pic related.

Chibi Maruko-Chan Quiz for the Neo Geo.

I am just not willing to pay like 3500$ for it and the risk of getting a bootleg is just too high.


and most legit copies have severe sunfading...

>>896898
same for me but RECCA on famicom

I got a pirate cart of it instead ;_;

>>896858
Musha is a horrible shmup because it has the two biggest flaws a shmup can have... low difficulty and long levels. That's the complete opposite of what most shmup fans want in a shmup.

The people that praise it are the ones who owned it when it first came out. It might have been impressive for it's time, but by today's standards, it's shit.

>>896948
Yeah man, Recca too. I got to play a friend's copy last year.

At least the high prices are totally worth it in the end, I guess.

>>896967
>today's standards
There's your problem. You don't compare it to 'today' anything.

You're still full of shit. Hating on good games isn't cool, so stop it.

Shantae.

Got it for $3.

>>896979
So the critics aren't allowed to compare it today's games, but those who praise it can? Double standards much?

>>896990
I'm just saying you've got the wrong mindset when it comes to retro games. That's not how you do it at all.

That's the problem. You might as well just go back to your modern stuff.

>>897012
So what you're saying is that I need to wear nostalgia glasses when playing Musha? That's not how I work. I play games that are fun, and if they're not fun, then I tell it like it is. There are plenty of older shumps that hold up well today and that are much more affordable, such as Thunderforce and Wings of Wor, so there's no need to spend $200 on an overrated piece of shit like Musha if you want to experience retro shmupping.

>>897025
I respect your opinion and all, even if it's unpopular, but don't expect the rest of the world to give a shit about what you think.

>>897025
No, you judge older games by other games that were released in the same time period. You don't call Shining Force "outdated crap" because Pier Solar exists and runs on the same hardware. You don't say that a 1967 Mustang is a piece of shit compared to a 2009 Mustang (the reverse is probably trufax, lol mustangscannotturn).

>>896926
see
>>896918

>>897051
>You don't say that a 1967 Mustang is a piece of shit compared to a 2009 Mustang
Of course you do. That's how you define progress.

One day...

Lufia 2

Ever 17 (not /vr/ but I really wanted that)

Honestly, if your attitude is "This game is old and outdated so it sucks", there's no reason to be here. This is a board based on the idea of appreciation for OLDER games. All this talk of 'aging well' and whatnot is just rustling up a storm of jimmies.

Megaman x3. It's not worth it because of the anniversary collection, but fuck I want it.

>>897140

And? Some games haven't aged well. Others did. You don't have to like it just because it's retro.

I'll never get based TMNT fightan on my NES...

>>897140
You're the one who is in the wrong place. If you don't think that any older games have aged poorly, then GTFO.

>>897164
But, it sucks...
