Found Donkey Kong Country for $9.50 at my local thrift store the other day. Compared to the virtual console and Amazon thats not too bad.
Not very recent but one of my best finds was about two years ago. Found a SNES complete with the cables and two controllers and Super Mario Allstars, along with Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past, Super Mario World, and Secret of Mana for $20 at the same place.
i just recently bought Mortal Kombat II on SNES on amazon!
I felt like such a when I bought that game back in the day... Little did I know that (unlike the Genesis version) it was family-friendified by Nintendo! Haha! I guess I was always just a Nintendo-nerd.
BTW: I friended you on 3DS! My FC is in my sig if you care to add.
The first Mortal Kombat was the game that made Nintendo realize there is a place for games for mature audiences, so MKII was the first to keep the violence with a parental advisory notice on the box (as it was released two months before the ESRB ratings were first used).

OK XD. im not sure what to say to that, so i added you in return. im not sure what you're looking for though, im a pretty boring person XD

Yes it was the first MK that Nintendo censored by changing the blood to grey sweat and changed a bunch of the fatalities which is why the Genesis version outsold the NES version. Nintendo learned from that so when they released MKII they kept everything intact. Of course by that time they had the ratings on the games by than since that was one of the games (that and Nighttrap) that caused the formation of the ESRB.
@Tasuki
let's not act like kids actually care about the ESR rating or not if they did, call of duty wouldnt be so popular
Kids weren't the ones censoring games.
but they sure are the people BUYING the games
Actually, it's their parents buying them for the kids. Kids don't have incomes, you see.
EDIT: I forgot about allowences, but personally, I've never seen a kid under 15 unaccompanied at a Gamestop, or even a KMart, and buy a game. I've pretty much always seen them accompanied by an adult.
@MickeyMac
what you say is true, i've never seen anyone under 15 without an adult either. but you see, uhh, ummm.. gets desperate to win argument
lets not act like parents know what their kids are playing these days! D: i know i could have bought an incredibly worse game than Mortal Kombat II when i was younger if i wanted, and my parents wouldn't even find out about the game until they actually see the game in action.
That I won't bother arguing. Unless they're already an avid gamer, most parents don't know what's in a game or have even the slightest clue how to check for unsavory content. It's very sad, really. Hopefully our generation will be more responsible.

Yep you some it up Mickey I have to agree with you.
As a parent of a gamer though I have to say I do pay attention on what he plays and that. I wont let him play say call of duty or GTA but I will let him play Batman Arkham City. Basically if its equivalent to a PG 13 rating I will let him play it. And he is 12 btw if that makes a difference.

Sounds like a good way to handle it. He is close enough to 13, after all. Also, I just realized Arkham Asylum is T rated. Never knew that before...

Not quite sure if you are being sarcastic there or not. If your not apologize for thinking that you were.
