Lets spice some life into this part of the forum.

So I just bought this mother fucker right here:
Super Mario Bros 2

$19.40 not including shipping. Complete, box and instructions.

I busted out the NES yesterday and I wanted to play some more games. This auction was ending in a few minutes so I said "eh why not". I put my budget at $20 before shipping and I somehow won this shit lol.

Any of you guys bought anything retro lately?

Me and Ax (and DesignationLocutus, not that he posts but I bet he will now just to make me out to be a liar) were in Leeds the other week looking for PS1 games, but didn't come up with anything.

When I was at Otakon I snagged Phantasy Star Collection for the Japanese SEGA Saturn and the Chu Chu Rocket Special Edition with the orange controller for the Japanese SEGA Dreamcast.

Retro Import purchases! <3

I went to a local mom and pop shop called Gameplay here in Long Beach CA.

I scooped up Space Harrier 2 for the Genesis/Mega Drive. $7.

$20? You got ripped. Could've bought it for GBA or the VC for wayyyyy less.

I bought the Sega Genesis classics pack from Amazon (for PC). 48 games for $5.

I wanted to actually own the NES cartridge, complete with box and instructions. I did the same with Kid Icarus, I found a copy in great condition complete with box and instructions for $20.

For reference, this guy has a starting bid price at $50 with a Buy it Now at $75

If I didn't care about authenticity, I would have just downloaded a ROM. That pack you got on Amazon is digital only right? I need the real thing.

Super Mario Bros 2 came in!

Box is pretty beat up, but the game works flawlessly. I seen better looking boxes come in at around $40 bucks so I think it is alright.

I am in the market for a SNES... I been in a retro mood lately. I might sell some PS2 shit that I have sitting around.

You guys suck for not buying old shit :lol:

I am currently in the market for CRT television.

I want one of those Sony Trinitron CRTs. My cousin was playing Castlevania 4 on there, it looked magnificent.

I do. It started with Alien Trilogy in Cash Converters (it's a chain of modern pawn shops)o and when I got it home and played it on the PS3, FUCK ME it took me right back to when I got my Sega Saturn on release. Fucking loved my Saturn, loved Alien Trilogy. All the atmosphere came back, I was suddenly back in the 90's.

When I went back to Yorkshire for a week recently I made an effort too have a look at what they had, I found the original Grand Theft Auto and Pandemonium 2. I'm on the lookout for Grand Theft Auto London as that's the only one in the series that I don't have (and the PSP/DS ones).

In a shop when I was down there I found an FFVII (I loaned mine out and borrowed FFIX in return. I didn't wanna trade back so havn't mentioned it, as FFIX is a far better game) but they were selling it for £21. I thought "fuck that".

Was it a black label FFVII? That shit can bring in some nice coin on ebay.

In other news, I bought myself a Sony Trinitron CRT. The flat panel one. Only cost me $15 on craigslist. All of my game looks nice on here. 27'. I now have two televisions in my room :lol:
