The guy had more than 4000 games. During one week he sent me more than 300 photos of the games. I was in awe. I wanted to buy everything lol Those were the ones that I knew I had to get. 39 minutes ago, final fight cd said: nice! if you are looking for a challenge, undead line is definitely one of the hardest sega/mega drive shmups. i put in a decent effort several years ago and could only 1cc it on the easy setting. default settings tore me up. I love shmups but I’m not very good at them. I would never try to 1cc but I will play Undead Line. Edited March 27, 2022 by Galdius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,953 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 @Galdius Your SFC image both makes me happy and equally sad. I used to have a collection largely that size or so, all CIB too, quite a few in that image I did cherish so and I miss them. I'd love to have them again but the prices on SFC stuff got stupid back when SNES stuff started to get a raging boner in 2012-2013 because they caught on to western shenanigans. I see a few nice Famicom things too. Do you actually use all these, collect, or trade, sell the stuff as you get a LOT in. Today I spent $25 at a dudes house, he had some nice arcade games in states of repair/disrepair though too. Mostly filler, but I was happy to get GB Alleyway, NES Tag Team Wrestling+Captain Skyhawk w/manual+Double Dribble and an OEM SNES controller too.

sp1nz | 617 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Muted March Some "limited print" stuff as always but I am super happy to get a Sonic the Hedgehog nordic MD rental. The front of the Sonic has the price of 49 kronor and the back has a sticker for Can Can Video, which is some Swedish video store - love stuff like that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy a game to upgrade a copy that I already own, I usually take the old copy to sell at the store. I sell it for less than it goes for but it's easier and this has helped me with the owner. If something that I want comes in he usually texts me and gives me a better price on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something that I want comes in he usually texts me and gives me a better price on it. I've done that, it's a smart move. I just was surprised at the bulk over time. You're making me struggle not re-attaining my old SFC collection but the prices suck and suck bad, notably over what pretty/pristine CIB stuff was just a decade earlier. I got curious and looked up Macross on SFC, $80 these days... I paid that for a complete one almost. I kind of fear looking up Cotton, Sailor Moon+R+S/SS fighters, Zenki, Popn(and not) Twinbee+Rainbow Bell Adventure, Parodius, Goemon 2, various others. I could easily see this topping 1K within no time if my fears are founded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avatar! | 1,831 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 These games are not technically new, they've been in my trade list for years - and I have gotten NOTHING but low-ball offers for them! So, I just decided to take all the PS1 games I really love, make sure they're all CIB and MINTY (they are and remove them from my trade list! So, now they're my PS1 Collection ps The original soundtrack to SOTN is sweet... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,953 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 @avatar! Hah so you do have that audio CD, and well technically that does fit as something new, even if they were meant not to be as they are now. Today I bumbled across a copy of Gamecube Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and it's in overall excellent shape, minimal wear to the disc thankfully but it wasn't like some cheap pickup either, was $40 but totally worth it being local. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,128 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Of course packing up all my stuff into storage isn’t going to keep me from buying more crap! Got this lot for a good price on eBay after sending the seller an offer. Never heard of TG16 as a kid and no one I knew had one so excited to welcome another console to the collection. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICE job, welcome to the world of ramen and mac n cheese because that's all you probably will be able to afford after buying a game or two for this one. The slime is most intense with this market of sellers over most other systems. If you can wrangle it, you must get an everdrive. Not just for that, but also because largely the best made games never left Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR | 522 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Japanese box art was the best, and I loved that Mega Drive box art had a nice big box to be displayed on. @Galdius Congrats on such an incredible haul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
