yea Play N Trade is awsome you also can go there for retros but i saw they were selling a pokemon hack cartrige pokemon shiny gold O_O
but i always go to Play N Trade for retro games

I look on eBay sometimes, or I check out this great local store called Jay St. Video Games. They carry retro games and charge less than the Wii Shop Channel does.

I used to go to Play N Trade until the local one closed.

Ok, with all this talk about Play N' Trade, I might have to make a 2 hr drive to my closest location.

Just updated the topic, What's your greatest find? Can't speak for myself but my brother in law found a fully functioning Vectrex unit in a dumpster. Those can be worth around 3k.

Most of my stuff comes from Ebay so I don't have many "great finds." The odds of a great find are getting less and less. My best find though was probably buying a Super Metroid cart for $5 from a dad selling some of his son's old games.

Tales of Destiny for $60
Xenosaga III for $16
Phantasy Star Portable 2 for $17
Skies of Arcadia Legends for $30
Ar Tonelico: Limited Edition for $30
Etrian Odyssey for $17
Albert Odyssey for $40
Viewtiful Joe (GCN) for $2
Gungrave Overdose for $3
Warsong for $25
Thunder Force V for $25
Klonoa: Empire of Dreams for $5
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete: Collector's Edition for $60
Baten Kaitos Origins for $6
Virtual-On Marz for $2
.Hack 1-3 for $11 each
Numerous PS2 RPGs for under $10

@MickeyMac so many good games on your list there

It's a very good store.

I've been waiting years to be in that situation and you've already had the pleasure. lol, lucky.

Ebay, Play N Trade and a local game store called Worlds Game Store. There aren't many game stores around were I live despite the fact I live in a fairly large city.The best finds would from each place would go like this, a Neo Geo Pocket Color with Sonic Pocket Adventure for $30 off of Ebay, a yellow Gameboy Color for $15 from Play N Trade (I don't go there that often), 3 Game Gear games for $20 from Worlds Game Store.

On weekends me and my friend sometimes walk around town looking for garage sales. Once I got a free NES! Play N Trade is a great store and Ebay has almost everything (except an English copy of survival kids). gamestop also sometimes have refurbished Gameboy Advance SP's

I like flea markets. Last time I found and EarthBound (worth 150$+!) for 5$!!!

You are the luckiest person ever. I am jealous.

Actually just remembered my greatest find is a Magnavox Odyssey II w/ 15+ games and The Voice attachment. Still have it too.

Got both Ace Combat 4 and Super Smash bros at the same garage sale for $5 each.

I got introduced to Ace Combat (which I now love), and reintroduced to a classic.

this is my best ever fleamarket find at only 2,50 euro:

Woa! Now that's just awesome. Is that the same Popeye in Arcade form that was also released on the NES? I heard Miyamoto had something to do with that one, pretty neat!

As for my favorite place to dig for retro toobular treasures, eBayyyyy. An ultra Boring & Generic answer indeed, but it's just so easy to find what i need and it's one click away bud! But in no way does it touch the fun and magic of actually finding a hidden treasure for cheap in the midst of a bunch of crappy games covered in 'Dust bunny' poop for cheapy' at a flea market and what have you!

The only Play 'n Trade I went to near me was pretty terrible for SNES game, almost nothing except a ton of sports games.

I heard some GameStops are selling retro games now, too bad the one nearest me isn't one of them.

I got FFVI (or FFIII as it says on the cover/title screen) in its original SNES box. No manual but hey, it was only $30.

Is that the same Popeye in Arcade form that was also released on the NES?

more or less. very simplified gameplay of course because it's an LCD game. I'd call it "based on"
