I'd have thrown fifty bucks just at the Aladdin cart, so getting 2 good PS1 controllers and a bunch of fun NES shovelware certainly doesn't hurt. Probably could have gotten cheaper but definitely a good haul in my book.

Just got these in the mail for a couple bucks. I wanted to get more import GB games, and I know mahjong a little, so it was worth it. I also got a SNES with a few crap games off Craigslist for 50. Probably not a good deal, but the seller was in the same town as me, and it came with the Mario Paint mouse and a few manuals, so I'm happy.

Good god OP put solstice in an NES and let that menu screen roll. It never sounds right on an emulator, so if you've never listened to it on actual hardware, you're in for a treat.

Mega Man IV and V [carts only] for $20 each is my best lately. Where I am that's pretty much unheard of. Shit is nuts here, $40 for a mario 3 cart only? Fuck That.

Whats the matter, can't fucking deal with seeing "Johnny" when you have to change the batteries once every couple weeks?

I'm pretty happy.

What's an effective way to get stickers off the box?

>> No.1778935

>>1778903
Off a box? Heat it with a hair dryer very carefully to make the glue liquidy and slowly peel. Do so at your own risk, though.

Best find was a $2 copy of Earthbound (cart only) at a thrift store. I flipped it for $180. I'm not usually a reseller, but I HAD to do it.

I was happy. Aladdin was the attention getter for me.

I haven't, but now I'm excited to hear the difference!

I think the multitap justified the price in my mind. I can never find them cheap enough.

Tch, I collect the bastards. Lucked the hell out with multitaps for Saturn and TG16. I also collect odd input devices and cheat devices.

I lost many hours of sleep between 1am - 6am with friends due to the multitap.
