That's both cool and a hard-to-accept pivot for game stores to make it these days. Still, seeing groceries would be a better experience to me than seeing all those Pop Vinyls littering stores these days.

RH | 5,538 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 If I had just $100 to spend, I always browse the NES tapes for ones in good shape I don't have that are $10 or less. If nothing catches my eye, I head over to the N64 area and then last the PS1/PS2 section. Of course, I am trying to get a full set of Game Gear games but to this day I've not found anything uncommon in the 4 shops I have around me so, even though I'd prefer to put it all in Game Gear, that's just not gonna happen. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14612-100-instant-winner/#findComment-403772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 4,291 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 My local spot? With the way they price stuff? A loose copy of Legend of Zelda. Ok ok. That’s not completely true. I could also get a copy of Mario 3. Literally priced at $40 the last time I went in there. These days with NES I‘m pretty picky about condition and price so I‘d probably pick up some Wii games. I’ve been meaning to set it back up and I’ve been thinking about expanding my collection a bit. 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14612-100-instant-winner/#findComment-403775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguy | 809 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 My store had a sealed copy of Kirby Pinball Land Player's Choice for $120 that I was already heavily considered. So for $20 out of pocket, I'd be all over it. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14612-100-instant-winner/#findComment-403777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,789 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Probably one of the rarer Genesis games that they have, everything else I’ve picked through. I’d honestly rather win $100 to a store I’ve never been to lol Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14612-100-instant-winner/#findComment-403783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,611 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Not sure, but that startropics complete I have, and I just can not get into the game as the controls just don't work well after awhile.

Lol exact same. I've been collecting GG casually for long enough that I now have all the commons and literally nothing that's hard to find in the slightest. So with my $100 I'm checking the GG and black-cart GB racks, and after finding nothing I'm springing for Starcraft 64 baybeeee!!! 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14612-100-instant-winner/#findComment-403792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Count | 691 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Probably some PS4 CIBs that seem interesting. I have most of the stuff found at my local gamestores retro-wise already.

Ankos | 640 Posted April 26, 2024 Share Posted April 26, 2024 I'm going to assume it expires if I don't use it right away. In that case I'll probably throw it at something like Azure Dreams GBC or Revelations the Demon Slayer. I'd probably have some left over, so maybe I'd mix in a bit out of pocket to get both 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14612-100-instant-winner/#findComment-403826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankos | 640 Posted April 26, 2024 Share Posted April 26, 2024 Now that I think about it, I just assumed there'd be a local store that would have what I want. I import 90% of my games, so I'm not sure that's the case.
