So I just got my Sealed copy of T & C Surf Desgin for the Nes in the mail today. B-)
It's in perfect condition aside from a tiny bump in the bottom left corner, but eh what do I care.lol

Anyways, I feel like I completely lucked out and won a mini lottery scoring a copy of this sealed for only $55, not to mention it's rare to see a copy of this game sealed to begin with. Hell, they're selling sealed copies of Friday the 13th which was also made by LJN for over $200....So I feel like I got a killer deal on this one. I'm tempted to open it, but I doubt I will. I think I'd rather just get another complete copy in good condition that's of course already open. :p But you know, I'm kind of wondering. Isn't it easiy for anyone to get something proffesionaly sealed that has already been opened?

Anyways, I love the descriptin of the game on the back >

@WaveBoy - No reason to open it if you spent that much. You can get a loose cartridge for fairly cheap if you want to play the game. PLEASE don't open it!

I went out and bought Batman Returns, Maximum Carnage, World Heroes 2, and buy merchant suggestion, Swat Kats today. Then, my SNES won't turn on. Thing has turned on every time since 1991, and today it dies. I finally got a day to play games for a few hours and this happens. Hopefully I can fix it :- /

@Waveboy: I agree with Stuffy there. If it was me I wouldnt open it.

Oh man tough break on the SNES StuffyStuff I hope its nothing and you can repair it. Those are some great games particularly Batman Returns. IMO thats the best game based off of a movie yet. YOu cant beat the Danny Elfman score.

Ya, I've decided not to open it.. :p
I'd be a total fool if I did, considering it's tough enough to find a sealed copy of T & C Surf in this day and age, let alone for a rocking $55. B-)

@Stuffy Stuff
Maxium Carnage on the Genesis used to give me maxium frustration.lol The games difficulty was just punishing.I HATED Doppleganger. And every RetroGame Store i go to, i see it's iconic glowing Red Cartridge in the Genesis Isle. God I hate that game. lol

TMNT IV was the ultimate SNES beat em up, nothing came close! B-)

Thanks for the support, friends. I've never played Batman Returns and I love beatemups and the others I hadn't played since I was a young child so I was looking forward to a nostalgia fix, but that'll be for another day.

Probably $1, because it's in horrible shape. Or take into account that the shipping is probably bogus, and the seller is lieing to make more cash, not to mention there's no actual photo to see what condition the game is. But that aside, T & C surf is still one of the cheapest games around.

But having it sealed, is like finding hidden treasure. :p It's just nobody really cares that much to have this hidden treaure, because the hidden treasures surfing part of the game is so god damn broken and unforgiving that it renders it unplayable.lol

i agree that a sealed game is like a treasure, thats how i feel about my two Cocoron famicom games, it just looks cool. sometimes it doesnt matter what game it is.

Well, TMNT3 GB was cheap on amazon last year (only like $8), now it's up to $20. :(

I decided to finally re-buy Kid Dracula for the GB. Had it as a kid, but it was so short and easy. Figure if I want to play it again, better buy before the prices go completely insane. Too bad I probably can't afford to replace the manual (I had kept all mine). :P
Also, a really obscure Super Famicom action/RPG called Yaiba. $8 loose? And it's possibly a rare game? (Hits Buy it Now without hesitation.) :)

Finallty got around to getting Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, years after selling my copy when my Master System broke. I'm about half way through now, and it's just as good as I remembered it (I still remember all the secret doors!). I'm trying out the FM sound chip version, and while it's still good, I think I prefer the original 8-Bit PSG music.

@KingMike

On Amazon.ca there's a copy of TMNTIII: Radical Rescue going for around $50, I'm kind of suprised I haven't snaged it by now. lol Let alone it's the only copy left unless those sellers on Amazon.com are willing to ship to Canada.

Anyways, I recently just got....

Untitled

I now Have SMB1, SMB2 and now SMB3 Complete and in brilliant condition aside from my other older stand alone cartridge copies which I've had for a long time. I just need Super Mario World 'complete' along with Mario 64 and Sunshine. Super Mario World is pretty darn pricey....I'd have to drop over $100 to get it complete, but it's worth it imo. B-)

TMNT 4 is totaly common for sure, but Radical Rescue is another story. I live in Canada so I'm probably going to have to dish the $50 for that 1 single copy off Amazon.ca. But I'm a little tight on cash at the momento, so i'll let it slide for now...:p

Metroid Fusion looks awesome, i definitly need to get that one. As for the prime franchise, I have a feeling I'll never get around to playing 2: Echoes for the Wii. 3 was amazing, yet i had a love/hate relationship with the first prime. But I don't think i could go through another Prime experience on the Wii......Definitly Nintendo's Next console, but at this point, i'm not too sure with Echoes. Not only because it's considered the weakest of the 3 but because i fear that it's going to offer anothe familur experience all over again.

I'd much rather play Fusion, Other M and Zero Mission instead.

If you're patient, you can get a copy of Radical Rescue for a reasonable price. I watched an Ebay auction on one and it went for 8 bucks with shipping.

@noblo601 - As you'll see, the Metroid series is great. I still think Prime Echoes is the best game.
